The analyses of a text #3
The narrator recalls his adolescence.
He encountered Steerforth, the old friend elder by several years in the hotel he stayed at.
And the narrator was invited to his friend's.

2. The words "I could not conceal from myself" apparently are equivalent to "I have to admit." And the construction appears to be: I have to admit that Miss Dartle insinuated her own views...in the same way, sometimes, with great power, though in cont
