It
amazed
us
when
we
began
to
sort
his
letters
and
to
answer
some
of
them
for
him
in
the
growlery
of
a
morning
to
find
how
the
great
object
of
the
lives
of
nearly
all
his
correspondents
appeared
to
be
to
form
themselves
into
committees
for
getting
in
and
laying
out
money
.
The
ladies
were
as
desperate
as
the
gentlemen
;
indeed
,
I
think
they
were
even
more
so
.
They
threw
themselves
into
committees
in
the
most
impassioned
manner
and
collected
subscriptions
with
a
vehemence
quite
extraordinary
.
It
appeared
to
us
that
some
of
them
must
pass
their
whole
lives
in
dealing
out
subscription
-
cards
to
the
whole
post
-
office
directory
—
shilling
cards
,
half
-
crown
cards
,
half
-
sovereign
cards
,
penny
cards
.
They
wanted
everything
.
They
wanted
wearing
apparel
,
they
wanted
linen
rags
,
they
wanted
money
,
they
wanted
coals
,
they
wanted
soup
,
they
wanted
interest
,
they
wanted
autographs
,
they
wanted
flannel
,
they
wanted
whatever
Mr
.
Jarndyce
had
—
or
had
not
.
Their
objects
were
as
various
as
their
demands
.
They
were
going
to
raise
new
buildings
,
they
were
going
to
pay
off
debts
on
old
buildings
,
they
were
going
to
establish
in
a
picturesque
building
(
engraving
of
proposed
west
elevation
attached
)
the
Sisterhood
of
Mediaeval
Marys
,
they
were
going
to
give
a
testimonial
to
Mrs
.
Jellyby
,
they
were
going
to
have
their
secretary
’
s
portrait
painted
and
presented
to
his
mother
-
in
-
law
,
whose
deep
devotion
to
him
was
well
known
,
they
were
going
to
get
up
everything
,
I
really
believe
,
from
five
hundred
thousand
tracts
to
an
annuity
and
from
a
marble
monument
to
a
silver
tea
-
pot
.
They
took
a
multitude
of
titles
.
They
were
the
Women
of
England
,
the
Daughters
of
Britain
,
the
Sisters
of
all
the
cardinal
virtues
separately
,
the
Females
of
America
,
the
Ladies
of
a
hundred
denominations
.
They
appeared
to
be
always
excited
about
canvassing
and
electing
.
They
seemed
to
our
poor
wits
,
and
according
to
their
own
accounts
,
to
be
constantly
polling
people
by
tens
of
thousands
,
yet
never
bringing
their
candidates
in
for
anything
.
It
made
our
heads
ache
to
think
,
on
the
whole
,
what
feverish
lives
they
must
lead
.
Among
the
ladies
who
were
most
distinguished
for
this
rapacious
benevolence
(
if
I
may
use
the
expression
)
was
a
Mrs
.
Pardiggle
,
who
seemed
,
as
I
judged
from
the
number
of
her
letters
to
Mr
.
Jarndyce
,
to
be
almost
as
powerful
a
correspondent
as
Mrs
.
Jellyby
herself
.
We
observed
that
the
wind
always
changed
when
Mrs
.
Pardiggle
became
the
subject
of
conversation
and
that
it
invariably
interrupted
Mr
.
Jarndyce
and
prevented
his
going
any
farther
,
when
he
had
remarked
that
there
were
two
classes
of
charitable
people
;
one
,
the
people
who
did
a
little
and
made
a
great
deal
of
noise
;
the
other
,
the
people
who
did
a
great
deal
and
made
no
noise
at
all
.
We
were
therefore
curious
to
see
Mrs
.
Pardiggle
,
suspecting
her
to
be
a
type
of
the
former
class
,
and
were
glad
when
she
called
one
day
with
her
five
young
sons
.
She
was
a
formidable
style
of
lady
with
spectacles
,
a
prominent
nose
,
and
a
loud
voice
,
who
had
the
effect
of
wanting
a
great
deal
of
room
.
And
she
really
did
,
for
she
knocked
down
little
chairs
with
her
skirts
that
were
quite
a
great
way
off
.
As
only
Ada
and
I
were
at
home
,
we
received
her
timidly
,
for
she
seemed
to
come
in
like
cold
weather
and
to
make
the
little
Pardiggles
blue
as
they
followed
.
"
These
,
young
ladies
,
"
said
Mrs
.
Pardiggle
with
great
volubility
after
the
first
salutations
,
"
are
my
five
boys
.
You
may
have
seen
their
names
in
a
printed
subscription
list
(
perhaps
more
than
one
)
in
the
possession
of
our
esteemed
friend
Mr
.
Jarndyce
.
Egbert
,
my
eldest
(
twelve
)
,
is
the
boy
who
sent
out
his
pocket
-
money
,
to
the
amount
of
five
and
threepence
,
to
the
Tockahoopo
Indians
.
Oswald
,
my
second
(
ten
and
a
half
)
,
is
the
child
who
contributed
two
and
nine
-
pence
to
the
Great
National
Smithers
Testimonial
.
Francis
,
my
third
(
nine
)
,
one
and
sixpence
halfpenny
;
Felix
,
my
fourth
(
seven
)
,
eightpence
to
the
Superannuated
Widows
;
Alfred
,
my
youngest
(
five
)
,
has
voluntarily
enrolled
himself
in
the
Infant
Bonds
of
Joy
,
and
is
pledged
never
,
through
life
,
to
use
tobacco
in
any
form
.
"
We
had
never
seen
such
dissatisfied
children
.
It
was
not
merely
that
they
were
weazened
and
shrivelled
—
though
they
were
certainly
that
too
—
but
they
looked
absolutely
ferocious
with
discontent
.
At
the
mention
of
the
Tockahoopo
Indians
,
I
could
really
have
supposed
Egbert
to
be
one
of
the
most
baleful
members
of
that
tribe
,
he
gave
me
such
a
savage
frown
.
The
face
of
each
child
,
as
the
amount
of
his
contribution
was
mentioned
,
darkened
in
a
peculiarly
vindictive
manner
,
but
his
was
by
far
the
worst
.
I
must
except
,
however
,
the
little
recruit
into
the
Infant
Bonds
of
Joy
,
who
was
stolidly
and
evenly
miserable
.
"
You
have
been
visiting
,
I
understand
,
"
said
Mrs
.
Pardiggle
,
"
at
Mrs
.
Jellyby
’
s
?
"
We
said
yes
,
we
had
passed
one
night
there
.
"
Mrs
.
Jellyby
,
"
pursued
the
lady
,
always
speaking
in
the
same
demonstrative
,
loud
,
hard
tone
,
so
that
her
voice
impressed
my
fancy
as
if
it
had
a
sort
of
spectacles
on
too
—
and
I
may
take
the
opportunity
of
remarking
that
her
spectacles
were
made
the
less
engaging
by
her
eyes
being
what
Ada
called
"
choking
eyes
,
"
meaning
very
prominent
—
"
Mrs
.
Jellyby
is
a
benefactor
to
society
and
deserves
a
helping
hand
.
My
boys
have
contributed
to
the
African
project
—
Egbert
,
one
and
six
,
being
the
entire
allowance
of
nine
weeks
;
Oswald
,
one
and
a
penny
halfpenny
,
being
the
same
;
the
rest
,
according
to
their
little
means
.
Nevertheless
,
I
do
not
go
with
Mrs
.
Jellyby
in
all
things
.
I
do
not
go
with
Mrs
.
Jellyby
in
her
treatment
of
her
young
family
.
It
has
been
noticed
.
It
has
been
observed
that
her
young
family
are
excluded
from
participation
in
the
objects
to
which
she
is
devoted
.
She
may
be
right
,
she
may
be
wrong
;
but
,
right
or
wrong
,
this
is
not
my
course
with
MY
young
family
.
I
take
them
everywhere
.
"
I
was
afterwards
convinced
(
and
so
was
Ada
)
that
from
the
ill
-
conditioned
eldest
child
,
these
words
extorted
a
sharp
yell
.
He
turned
it
off
into
a
yawn
,
but
it
began
as
a
yell
.
"
They
attend
matins
with
me
(
very
prettily
done
)
at
half
-
past
six
o
’
clock
in
the
morning
all
the
year
round
,
including
of
course
the
depth
of
winter
,
"
said
Mrs
.
Pardiggle
rapidly
,
"
and
they
are
with
me
during
the
revolving
duties
of
the
day
.
I
am
a
School
lady
,
I
am
a
Visiting
lady
,
I
am
a
Reading
lady
,
I
am
a
Distributing
lady
;
I
am
on
the
local
Linen
Box
Committee
and
many
general
committees
;
and
my
canvassing
alone
is
very
extensive
—
perhaps
no
one
’
s
more
so
.
But
they
are
my
companions
everywhere
;
and
by
these
means
they
acquire
that
knowledge
of
the
poor
,
and
that
capacity
of
doing
charitable
business
in
general
—
in
short
,
that
taste
for
the
sort
of
thing
—
which
will
render
them
in
after
life
a
service
to
their
neighbours
and
a
satisfaction
to
themselves
.
My
young
family
are
not
frivolous
;
they
expend
the
entire
amount
of
their
allowance
in
subscriptions
,
under
my
direction
;
and
they
have
attended
as
many
public
meetings
and
listened
to
as
many
lectures
,
orations
,
and
discussions
as
generally
fall
to
the
lot
of
few
grown
people
.
Alfred
(
five
)
,
who
,
as
I
mentioned
,
has
of
his
own
election
joined
the
Infant
Bonds
of
Joy
,
was
one
of
the
very
few
children
who
manifested
consciousness
on
that
occasion
after
a
fervid
address
of
two
hours
from
the
chairman
of
the
evening
.
"
Alfred
glowered
at
us
as
if
he
never
could
,
or
would
,
forgive
the
injury
of
that
night
.
"
You
may
have
observed
,
Miss
Summerson
,
"
said
Mrs
.
Pardiggle
,
"
in
some
of
the
lists
to
which
I
have
referred
,
in
the
possession
of
our
esteemed
friend
Mr
.
Jarndyce
,
that
the
names
of
my
young
family
are
concluded
with
the
name
of
O
.
A
.
Pardiggle
,
F
.
R
.
S
.
,
one
pound
.
That
is
their
father
.
We
usually
observe
the
same
routine
.
I
put
down
my
mite
first
;
then
my
young
family
enrol
their
contributions
,
according
to
their
ages
and
their
little
means
;
and
then
Mr
.
Pardiggle
brings
up
the
rear
.
Mr
.
Pardiggle
is
happy
to
throw
in
his
limited
donation
,
under
my
direction
;
and
thus
things
are
made
not
only
pleasant
to
ourselves
,
but
,
we
trust
,
improving
to
others
.
"
Suppose
Mr
.
Pardiggle
were
to
dine
with
Mr
.
Jellyby
,
and
suppose
Mr
.
Jellyby
were
to
relieve
his
mind
after
dinner
to
Mr
.
Pardiggle
,
would
Mr
.
Pardiggle
,
in
return
,
make
any
confidential
communication
to
Mr
.
Jellyby
?
I
was
quite
confused
to
find
myself
thinking
this
,
but
it
came
into
my
head
.
"
You
are
very
pleasantly
situated
here
!
"
said
Mrs
.
Pardiggle
.
We
were
glad
to
change
the
subject
,
and
going
to
the
window
,
pointed
out
the
beauties
of
the
prospect
,
on
which
the
spectacles
appeared
to
me
to
rest
with
curious
indifference
.
"
You
know
Mr
.
Gusher
?
"
said
our
visitor
.
We
were
obliged
to
say
that
we
had
not
the
pleasure
of
Mr
.
Gusher
’
s
acquaintance
.
"
The
loss
is
yours
,
I
assure
you
,
"
said
Mrs
.
Pardiggle
with
her
commanding
deportment
.
"
He
is
a
very
fervid
,
impassioned
speaker
—
full
of
fire
!
Stationed
in
a
waggon
on
this
lawn
,
now
,
which
,
from
the
shape
of
the
land
,
is
naturally
adapted
to
a
public
meeting
,
he
would
improve
almost
any
occasion
you
could
mention
for
hours
and
hours
!
By
this
time
,
young
ladies
,
"
said
Mrs
.
Pardiggle
,
moving
back
to
her
chair
and
overturning
,
as
if
by
invisible
agency
,
a
little
round
table
at
a
considerable
distance
with
my
work
-
basket
on
it
,
"
by
this
time
you
have
found
me
out
,
I
dare
say
?
"
This
was
really
such
a
confusing
question
that
Ada
looked
at
me
in
perfect
dismay
.
As
to
the
guilty
nature
of
my
own
consciousness
after
what
I
had
been
thinking
,
it
must
have
been
expressed
in
the
colour
of
my
cheeks
.
"
Found
out
,
I
mean
,
"
said
Mrs
.
Pardiggle
,
"
the
prominent
point
in
my
character
.
I
am
aware
that
it
is
so
prominent
as
to
be
discoverable
immediately
.
I
lay
myself
open
to
detection
,
I
know
.
Well
!
I
freely
admit
,
I
am
a
woman
of
business
.
I
love
hard
work
;
I
enjoy
hard
work
.
The
excitement
does
me
good
.
I
am
so
accustomed
and
inured
to
hard
work
that
I
don
’
t
know
what
fatigue
is
.
"
We
murmured
that
it
was
very
astonishing
and
very
gratifying
,
or
something
to
that
effect
.
I
don
’
t
think
we
knew
what
it
was
either
,
but
this
is
what
our
politeness
expressed
.
"
I
do
not
understand
what
it
is
to
be
tired
;
you
cannot
tire
me
if
you
try
!
"
said
Mrs
.
Pardiggle
.
"
The
quantity
of
exertion
(
which
is
no
exertion
to
me
)
,
the
amount
of
business
(
which
I
regard
as
nothing
)
,
that
I
go
through
sometimes
astonishes
myself
.
I
have
seen
my
young
family
,
and
Mr
.
Pardiggle
,
quite
worn
out
with
witnessing
it
,
when
I
may
truly
say
I
have
been
as
fresh
as
a
lark
!
"
If
that
dark
-
visaged
eldest
boy
could
look
more
malicious
than
he
had
already
looked
,
this
was
the
time
when
he
did
it
.
I
observed
that
he
doubled
his
right
fist
and
delivered
a
secret
blow
into
the
crown
of
his
cap
,
which
was
under
his
left
arm
.
"
This
gives
me
a
great
advantage
when
I
am
making
my
rounds
,
"
said
Mrs
.
Pardiggle
.
"
If
I
find
a
person
unwilling
to
hear
what
I
have
to
say
,
I
tell
that
person
directly
,
’
I
am
incapable
of
fatigue
,
my
good
friend
,
I
am
never
tired
,
and
I
mean
to
go
on
until
I
have
done
.
’
It
answers
admirably
!
Miss
Summerson
,
I
hope
I
shall
have
your
assistance
in
my
visiting
rounds
immediately
,
and
Miss
Clare
’
s
very
soon
.
"
At
first
I
tried
to
excuse
myself
for
the
present
on
the
general
ground
of
having
occupations
to
attend
to
which
I
must
not
neglect
.
But
as
this
was
an
ineffectual
protest
,
I
then
said
,
more
particularly
,
that
I
was
not
sure
of
my
qualifications
.
That
I
was
inexperienced
in
the
art
of
adapting
my
mind
to
minds
very
differently
situated
,
and
addressing
them
from
suitable
points
of
view
.
That
I
had
not
that
delicate
knowledge
of
the
heart
which
must
be
essential
to
such
a
work
.
That
I
had
much
to
learn
,
myself
,
before
I
could
teach
others
,
and
that
I
could
not
confide
in
my
good
intentions
alone
.
For
these
reasons
I
thought
it
best
to
be
as
useful
as
I
could
,
and
to
render
what
kind
services
I
could
to
those
immediately
about
me
,
and
to
try
to
let
that
circle
of
duty
gradually
and
naturally
expand
itself
.
All
this
I
said
with
anything
but
confidence
,
because
Mrs
.
Pardiggle
was
much
older
than
I
,
and
had
great
experience
,
and
was
so
very
military
in
her
manners
.
"
You
are
wrong
,
Miss
Summerson
,
"
said
she
,
"
but
perhaps
you
are
not
equal
to
hard
work
or
the
excitement
of
it
,
and
that
makes
a
vast
difference
.
If
you
would
like
to
see
how
I
go
through
my
work
,
I
am
now
about
—
with
my
young
family
—
to
visit
a
brickmaker
in
the
neighbourhood
(
a
very
bad
character
)
and
shall
be
glad
to
take
you
with
me
.
Miss
Clare
also
,
if
she
will
do
me
the
favour
.
"
Ada
and
I
interchanged
looks
,
and
as
we
were
going
out
in
any
case
,
accepted
the
offer
.
When
we
hastily
returned
from
putting
on
our
bonnets
,
we
found
the
young
family
languishing
in
a
corner
and
Mrs
.
Pardiggle
sweeping
about
the
room
,
knocking
down
nearly
all
the
light
objects
it
contained
.
Mrs
.
Pardiggle
took
possession
of
Ada
,
and
I
followed
with
the
family
.
Ada
told
me
afterwards
that
Mrs
.
Pardiggle
talked
in
the
same
loud
tone
(
that
,
indeed
,
I
overheard
)
all
the
way
to
the
brickmaker
’
s
about
an
exciting
contest
which
she
had
for
two
or
three
years
waged
against
another
lady
relative
to
the
bringing
in
of
their
rival
candidates
for
a
pension
somewhere
.
There
had
been
a
quantity
of
printing
,
and
promising
,
and
proxying
,
and
polling
,
and
it
appeared
to
have
imparted
great
liveliness
to
all
concerned
,
except
the
pensioners
—
who
were
not
elected
yet
.
I
am
very
fond
of
being
confided
in
by
children
and
am
happy
in
being
usually
favoured
in
that
respect
,
but
on
this
occasion
it
gave
me
great
uneasiness
.
As
soon
as
we
were
out
of
doors
,
Egbert
,
with
the
manner
of
a
little
footpad
,
demanded
a
shilling
of
me
on
the
ground
that
his
pocket
-
money
was
"
boned
"
from
him
.
On
my
pointing
out
the
great
impropriety
of
the
word
,
especially
in
connexion
with
his
parent
(
for
he
added
sulkily
"
By
her
!
"
)
,
he
pinched
me
and
said
,
"
Oh
,
then
!
Now
!
Who
are
you
!
YOU
wouldn
’
t
like
it
,
I
think
?
What
does
she
make
a
sham
for
,
and
pretend
to
give
me
money
,
and
take
it
away
again
?
Why
do
you
call
it
my
allowance
,
and
never
let
me
spend
it
?
"
These
exasperating
questions
so
inflamed
his
mind
and
the
minds
of
Oswald
and
Francis
that
they
all
pinched
me
at
once
,
and
in
a
dreadfully
expert
way
—
screwing
up
such
little
pieces
of
my
arms
that
I
could
hardly
forbear
crying
out
.
Felix
,
at
the
same
time
,
stamped
upon
my
toes
.
And
the
Bond
of
Joy
,
who
on
account
of
always
having
the
whole
of
his
little
income
anticipated
stood
in
fact
pledged
to
abstain
from
cakes
as
well
as
tobacco
,
so
swelled
with
grief
and
rage
when
we
passed
a
pastry
-
cook
’
s
shop
that
he
terrified
me
by
becoming
purple
.
I
never
underwent
so
much
,
both
in
body
and
mind
,
in
the
course
of
a
walk
with
young
people
as
from
these
unnaturally
constrained
children
when
they
paid
me
the
compliment
of
being
natural
.
I
was
glad
when
we
came
to
the
brickmaker
’
s
house
,
though
it
was
one
of
a
cluster
of
wretched
hovels
in
a
brick
-
field
,
with
pigsties
close
to
the
broken
windows
and
miserable
little
gardens
before
the
doors
growing
nothing
but
stagnant
pools
.
Here
and
there
an
old
tub
was
put
to
catch
the
droppings
of
rain
-
water
from
a
roof
,
or
they
were
banked
up
with
mud
into
a
little
pond
like
a
large
dirt
-
pie
.
At
the
doors
and
windows
some
men
and
women
lounged
or
prowled
about
,
and
took
little
notice
of
us
except
to
laugh
to
one
another
or
to
say
something
as
we
passed
about
gentlefolks
minding
their
own
business
and
not
troubling
their
heads
and
muddying
their
shoes
with
coming
to
look
after
other
people
’
s
.
Mrs
.
Pardiggle
,
leading
the
way
with
a
great
show
of
moral
determination
and
talking
with
much
volubility
about
the
untidy
habits
of
the
people
(
though
I
doubted
if
the
best
of
us
could
have
been
tidy
in
such
a
place
)
,
conducted
us
into
a
cottage
at
the
farthest
corner
,
the
ground
-
floor
room
of
which
we
nearly
filled
.
