Letter Text	Wednesday. No, no! indeed I never did. If you heard me say ‘Robert’, it was on a stair landing in the House of Dreams-never anywhere else! Why how could you fancy such a thing? Was’nt it rather your own disquieted Conscience which spoke instead of me, saying ‘Robert, dont be extravagant’. Yes-just the speech that is, for a ‘good uneasy’, discerning conscience-& you took it for my speech! ‘Dont be extravagant’ I may certainly have said. Both I & the conscience might have said so obvious a thing. Ah-& now I have got the name, shall I have courage to say it? tell me, best counsellor! I like it better than any other name, though I never spoke it with my own lips .. I never called anyone by such a name .. except once when I was in the lane with Bertha- One uncle I have, called Robert-but to me he is an ‘uncle Hedley’ & no more. So it is a white name to take into
