 perhaps察for in such mad worships there is peril察the peril of losing them察no less than the peril of keeping them。。。。 weeks and weeks went on察and i grew more and more absorbed in you。 then came a new development。 i had drawn you as paris in dainty armour察and as adonis with huntsmans cloak and polished boar´spear。 crowned with heavy lotus´blossoms you had sat on the prow of adrians barge察gazing across the green turbid nile。 you had leaned over the still pool of some greek woodland and seen in the waters silent silver the marvel of your own face。 and it had all been what art should beunconscious察ideal察and remote。 one day察a fatal day i sometimes think察i determined to paint a wonderful portrait of you as you actually are察not in the costume of dead ages察but in your own dress and in your own time。 whether it was the realism of the method察or the mere wonder of your own personality察thus directly presented to me without mist or veil察i cannot tell。 but i know that as i worked at it察every flake and film of colour seemed to me to reveal my secret。 i grew afraid that others would know of my idolatry。 i felt察dorian察that i had told too much察that i had put too much of myself into it。 then it was that i resolved never to allow the picture to be exhibited。 you were a little annoyed察but then you did not realize all that it meant to me。 harry察to whom i talked about it察laughed at me。 but i did not mind that。 when the picture was finished察and i sat alone with it察i felt that i was right。。。。 well察after a few days the thing left my studio察and as soon as i had got rid of the intolerable fascination of its presence察it seemed to me that i had been foolish in imagining that i had seen anything in it察more than that you were extremely good´looking and that i could paint。 even now i cannot help feeling that it is a mistake to think that the passion one feels in creation is ever really shown in the work one creates。 art is always more abstract than we fancy。 form and colour tell us of form and colourthat is all。 it often seems to me that art conceals the artist far more pletely than it ever reveals him。 and so when i got this offer from paris察i determined to make your portrait the principal thing in my exhibition。 it never occurred to me that you would refuse。 i see now that you were right。 the picture cannot be shown。 you must not be angry with me察dorian察for what i have told you。 as i said to harry察once察you are made to be worshipped。;

dorian gray drew a long breath。 the colour came back to his cheeks察and a smile played about his lips。 the peril was over。 he was safe for the time。 yet he could not help feeling infinite pity for the painter who had just made this strange confession to him察and wondered if he himself would ever be so dominated by the personality of a friend。 lord henry had the charm of being very dangerous。 but that was all。 he was too clever and too cynical to be really fond of。 would there ever be some one who would fill him with a strange idolatry拭was that one of the things that life had in store

;it is extraordinary to me察dorian察─said hallward察 that you should have seen this in the portrait。 did you really see it拭

;i saw something in it察─he answered察 something that seemed to me very curious。;

;well察you dont mind my looking at the thing now拭

dorian shook his head。 ;you must not ask me that察basil。 i could not possibly let you stand in front of that picture。;

;you will some day察surely拭

;never。;

;well察perhaps you are right。 and now good´bye察dorian。 you have been the one person in my life who has really influenced my art。 whatever i have done that is good察i owe to you。 ah you dont know what it cost me to tell you all that i have told you。;

;my dear basil察─said dorian察 what have you told me拭simply that you felt that you admired me too much。 that is not even a pliment。;

;it was not intended as a pliment。 it was a confession。 now that i have made it察something seems to have gone out of me。 perhaps one should never put ones worship into words。;

;it was a very disappointing confession。;

;why察what did you expect察dorian拭you didnt see anything else in the picture察did you拭there was nothing else to see拭

;no察there was nothing else to see。 why do you ask拭but you mustnt talk about worship。 it is foolish。 you and i are friends察basil察and we must always remain so。;

;you have got harry察─said the painter sadly。

;oh察harry ─cried the lad察with a ripple of laughter。 ;harry spends his days in saying what is incredible and his evenings in doing what is improbable。 just the sort of life i would like to lead。 but still i dont think i would go to harry if i were in trouble。 i would sooner go to you察basil。;

;you will sit to me again拭

;impossible 

;you spoil my life as an artist by refusing察dorian。 no man es across two ideal things。 few e across one。;

;i cant explain it to you察basil察but i must never sit to you again。 there is something fatal about a portrait。 it has a life of its own。 i will e and have tea with you。 that will be just as pleasant。;

;pleasanter for you察i am afraid察─murmured hallward regretfully。 ;and now good´bye。 i am sorry you wont let me look at the picture once again。 but that cant be helped。 i quite understand what you feel about it。;

as he left the room察dorian gray smiled to himself。 poor basil how little he knew of the true reason and how strange it was that察instead of having been forced to reveal his own secret察he had succeeded察almost by chance察in wresting a secret from his friend how much that strange confession explained to him the painters absurd fits of jealousy察his wild devotion察his extravagant panegyrics察his curious reticences he understood them all now察and he felt sorry。 there seemed to him to be something tragic in a friendship so coloured by romance。

he sighed and touched the bell。 the portrait must be hidden away at all costs。 he could not run such a risk of discovery again。 it had been mad of him to have allowed the thing to remain察even for an hour察in a room to which any of his friends had access。

Chapter 10

chapter 10

when his servant entered察be looked at him steadfastly and wondered if he had thought of peering behind the screen。 the man was quite impassive and waited for his orders。 dorian lit a cigarette and walked over to the glass and glanced into it。 he could see the reflection of victors face perfectly。 it was like a placid mask of servility。 there was nothing to be afraid of察there。 yet he thought it best to be on his guard。

speaking very slowly察he told him to tell the house´keeper that he wanted to see her察and then to go to the frame´maker and ask him to send two of his men round at once。 it seemed to him that as the man left the room his eyes wandered in the direction of the screen。 or was that merely his own fancy

after a few moments察in her black silk dress察with old´fashioned thread mittens on her wrinkled hands察mrs。 leaf bustled into the library。 he asked her for the key of the schoolroom。

;the old schoolroom察mr。 dorian拭─she exclaimed。 ;why察it is full of dust。 i must get it arranged and put straight before you go into it。 it is not fit for you to see察sir。 it is not察indeed。;

;i dont want it put straight察leaf。 i only want the key。;

;well察sir察youll be covered with cobwebs if you go into it。 why察it hasnt been opened for nearly five yearsnot since his lordship died。;

he winced at the mention of his grandfather。 he had hateful memories of him。 ;that does not matter察─he answered。 ;i simply want to see the place that is all。 give me the key。;

;and here is the key察sir察─said the old lady察going over the contents of her bunch with tremulously uncertain hands。 ;here is the key。 ill have it off the bunch in a moment。 but you dont think of living up there察sir察and you so fortable here拭

;no察no察─he cried petulantly。 ;thank you察leaf。 that will do。;

she lingered for a few moments察and was garrulous over some detail of the household。 he sighed and told her to manage things as she thought best。 she left the room察wreathed in smiles。

as the door closed察dorian put the key in his pocket and
