Jarndyce
had
written
to
a
relation
of
the
family
,
a
great
Sir
Leicester
Dedlock
,
for
his
interest
in
Richard
’
s
favour
,
generally
;
and
Sir
Leicester
had
replied
in
a
gracious
manner
that
he
would
be
happy
to
advance
the
prospects
of
the
young
gentleman
if
it
should
ever
prove
to
be
within
his
power
,
which
was
not
at
all
probable
,
and
that
my
Lady
sent
her
compliments
to
the
young
gentleman
(
to
whom
she
perfectly
remembered
that
she
was
allied
by
remote
consanguinity
)
and
trusted
that
he
would
ever
do
his
duty
in
any
honourable
profession
to
which
he
might
devote
himself
.
"
So
I
apprehend
it
’
s
pretty
clear
,
"
said
Richard
to
me
,
"
that
I
shall
have
to
work
my
own
way
.
Never
mind
!
Plenty
of
people
have
had
to
do
that
before
now
,
and
have
done
it
.
I
only
wish
I
had
the
command
of
a
clipping
privateer
to
begin
with
and
could
carry
off
the
Chancellor
and
keep
him
on
short
allowance
until
he
gave
judgment
in
our
cause
.
He
’
d
find
himself
growing
thin
,
if
he
didn
’
t
look
sharp
!
"
With
a
buoyancy
and
hopefulness
and
a
gaiety
that
hardly
ever
flagged
,
Richard
had
a
carelessness
in
his
character
that
quite
perplexed
me
,
principally
because
he
mistook
it
,
in
such
a
very
odd
way
,
for
prudence
.
It
entered
into
all
his
calculations
about
money
in
a
singular
manner
which
I
don
’
t
think
I
can
better
explain
than
by
reverting
for
a
moment
to
our
loan
to
Mr
.
Skimpole
.
Mr
.
Jarndyce
had
ascertained
the
amount
,
either
from
Mr
.
Skimpole
himself
or
from
Coavinses
,
and
had
placed
the
money
in
my
hands
with
instructions
to
me
to
retain
my
own
part
of
it
and
hand
the
rest
to
Richard
.
The
number
of
little
acts
of
thoughtless
expenditure
which
Richard
justified
by
the
recovery
of
his
ten
pounds
,
and
the
number
of
times
he
talked
to
me
as
if
he
had
saved
or
realized
that
amount
,
would
form
a
sum
in
simple
addition
.
"
My
prudent
Mother
Hubbard
,
why
not
?
"
he
said
to
me
when
he
wanted
,
without
the
least
consideration
,
to
bestow
five
pounds
on
the
brickmaker
.
"
I
made
ten
pounds
,
clear
,
out
of
Coavinses
’
business
.
"
"
How
was
that
?
"
said
I
.
"
Why
,
I
got
rid
of
ten
pounds
which
I
was
quite
content
to
get
rid
of
and
never
expected
to
see
any
more
.
You
don
’
t
deny
that
?
"
"
No
,
"
said
I
.
"
Very
well
!
Then
I
came
into
possession
of
ten
pounds
—
"
"
The
same
ten
pounds
,
"
I
hinted
.
"
That
has
nothing
to
do
with
it
!
"
returned
Richard
.
"
I
have
got
ten
pounds
more
than
I
expected
to
have
,
and
consequently
I
can
afford
to
spend
it
without
being
particular
.
"
In
exactly
the
same
way
,
when
he
was
persuaded
out
of
the
sacrifice
of
these
five
pounds
by
being
convinced
that
it
would
do
no
good
,
he
carried
that
sum
to
his
credit
and
drew
upon
it
.
"
Let
me
see
!
"
he
would
say
.
"
I
saved
five
pounds
out
of
the
brickmaker
’
s
affair
,
so
if
I
have
a
good
rattle
to
London
and
back
in
a
post
-
chaise
and
put
that
down
at
four
pounds
,
I
shall
have
saved
one
.
And
it
’
s
a
very
good
thing
to
save
one
,
let
me
tell
you
:
a
penny
saved
is
a
penny
got
!
"
I
believe
Richard
’
s
was
as
frank
and
generous
a
nature
as
there
possibly
can
be
.
He
was
ardent
and
brave
,
and
in
the
midst
of
all
his
wild
restlessness
,
was
so
gentle
that
I
knew
him
like
a
brother
in
a
few
weeks
.
His
gentleness
was
natural
to
him
and
would
have
shown
itself
abundantly
even
without
Ada
’
s
influence
;
but
with
it
,
he
became
one
of
the
most
winning
of
companions
,
always
so
ready
to
be
interested
and
always
so
happy
,
sanguine
,
and
light
-
hearted
.
I
am
sure
that
I
,
sitting
with
them
,
and
walking
with
them
,
and
talking
with
them
,
and
noticing
from
day
to
day
how
they
went
on
,
falling
deeper
and
deeper
in
love
,
and
saying
nothing
about
it
,
and
each
shyly
thinking
that
this
love
was
the
greatest
of
secrets
,
perhaps
not
yet
suspected
even
by
the
other
—
I
am
sure
that
I
was
scarcely
less
enchanted
than
they
were
and
scarcely
less
pleased
with
the
pretty
dream
.
We
were
going
on
in
this
way
,
when
one
morning
at
breakfast
Mr
.
Jarndyce
received
a
letter
,
and
looking
at
the
superscription
,
said
,
"
From
Boythorn
?
Aye
,
aye
!
"
and
opened
and
read
it
with
evident
pleasure
,
announcing
to
us
in
a
parenthesis
when
he
was
about
half
-
way
through
,
that
Boythorn
was
"
coming
down
"
on
a
visit
.
Now
who
was
Boythorn
,
we
all
thought
.
And
I
dare
say
we
all
thought
too
—
I
am
sure
I
did
,
for
one
—
would
Boythorn
at
all
interfere
with
what
was
going
forward
?
"
I
went
to
school
with
this
fellow
,
Lawrence
Boythorn
,
"
said
Mr
.
Jarndyce
,
tapping
the
letter
as
he
laid
it
on
the
table
,
"
more
than
five
and
forty
years
ago
.
He
was
then
the
most
impetuous
boy
in
the
world
,
and
he
is
now
the
most
impetuous
man
.
He
was
then
the
loudest
boy
in
the
world
,
and
he
is
now
the
loudest
man
.
He
was
then
the
heartiest
and
sturdiest
boy
in
the
world
,
and
he
is
now
the
heartiest
and
sturdiest
man
.
He
is
a
tremendous
fellow
.
"
"
In
stature
,
sir
?
"
asked
Richard
.
"
Pretty
well
,
Rick
,
in
that
respect
,
"
said
Mr
.
Jarndyce
;
"
being
some
ten
years
older
than
I
and
a
couple
of
inches
taller
,
with
his
head
thrown
back
like
an
old
soldier
,
his
stalwart
chest
squared
,
his
hands
like
a
clean
blacksmith
’
s
,
and
his
lungs
!
There
’
s
no
simile
for
his
lungs
.
Talking
,
laughing
,
or
snoring
,
they
make
the
beams
of
the
house
shake
.
"
As
Mr
.
Jarndyce
sat
enjoying
the
image
of
his
friend
Boythorn
,
we
observed
the
favourable
omen
that
there
was
not
the
least
indication
of
any
change
in
the
wind
.
"
But
it
’
s
the
inside
of
the
man
,
the
warm
heart
of
the
man
,
the
passion
of
the
man
,
the
fresh
blood
of
the
man
,
Rick
—
and
Ada
,
and
little
Cobweb
too
,
for
you
are
all
interested
in
a
visitor
—
that
I
speak
of
,
"
he
pursued
.
"
His
language
is
as
sounding
as
his
voice
.
He
is
always
in
extremes
,
perpetually
in
the
superlative
degree
.
In
his
condemnation
he
is
all
ferocity
.
You
might
suppose
him
to
be
an
ogre
from
what
he
says
,
and
I
believe
he
has
the
reputation
of
one
with
some
people
.
There
!
I
tell
you
no
more
of
him
beforehand
.
You
must
not
be
surprised
to
see
him
take
me
under
his
protection
,
for
he
has
never
forgotten
that
I
was
a
low
boy
at
school
and
that
our
friendship
began
in
his
knocking
two
of
my
head
tyrant
’
s
teeth
out
(
he
says
six
)
before
breakfast
.
Boythorn
and
his
man
,
"
to
me
,
"
will
be
here
this
afternoon
,
my
dear
.
"
I
took
care
that
the
necessary
preparations
were
made
for
Mr
.
Boythorn
’
s
reception
,
and
we
looked
forward
to
his
arrival
with
some
curiosity
.
The
afternoon
wore
away
,
however
,
and
he
did
not
appear
.
The
dinner
-
hour
arrived
,
and
still
he
did
not
appear
.
The
dinner
was
put
back
an
hour
,
and
we
were
sitting
round
the
fire
with
no
light
but
the
blaze
when
the
hall
-
door
suddenly
burst
open
and
the
hall
resounded
with
these
words
,
uttered
with
the
greatest
vehemence
and
in
a
stentorian
tone
:
"
We
have
been
misdirected
,
Jarndyce
,
by
a
most
abandoned
ruffian
,
who
told
us
to
take
the
turning
to
the
right
instead
of
to
the
left
.
He
is
the
most
intolerable
scoundrel
on
the
face
of
the
earth
.
His
father
must
have
been
a
most
consummate
villain
,
ever
to
have
such
a
son
.
I
would
have
had
that
fellow
shot
without
the
least
remorse
!
"
"
Did
he
do
it
on
purpose
?
"
Mr
.
Jarndyce
inquired
.
"
I
have
not
the
slightest
doubt
that
the
scoundrel
has
passed
his
whole
existence
in
misdirecting
travellers
!
"
returned
the
other
.
"
By
my
soul
,
I
thought
him
the
worst
-
looking
dog
I
had
ever
beheld
when
he
was
telling
me
to
take
the
turning
to
the
right
.
And
yet
I
stood
before
that
fellow
face
to
face
and
didn
’
t
knock
his
brains
out
!
"
"
Teeth
,
you
mean
?
"
said
Mr
.
Jarndyce
.
"
Ha
,
ha
,
ha
!
"
laughed
Mr
.
Lawrence
Boythorn
,
really
making
the
whole
house
vibrate
.
"
What
,
you
have
not
forgotten
it
yet
!
Ha
,
ha
,
ha
!
And
that
was
another
most
consummate
vagabond
!
By
my
soul
,
the
countenance
of
that
fellow
when
he
was
a
boy
was
the
blackest
image
of
perfidy
,
cowardice
,
and
cruelty
ever
set
up
as
a
scarecrow
in
a
field
of
scoundrels
.
If
I
were
to
meet
that
most
unparalleled
despot
in
the
streets
to
-
morrow
,
I
would
fell
him
like
a
rotten
tree
!
"
"
I
have
no
doubt
of
it
,
"
said
Mr
.
Jarndyce
.
"
Now
,
will
you
come
upstairs
?
"
"
By
my
soul
,
Jarndyce
,
"
returned
his
guest
,
who
seemed
to
refer
to
his
watch
,
"
if
you
had
been
married
,
I
would
have
turned
back
at
the
garden
-
gate
and
gone
away
to
the
remotest
summits
of
the
Himalaya
Mountains
sooner
than
I
would
have
presented
myself
at
this
unseasonable
hour
.
"
"
Not
quite
so
far
,
I
hope
?
"
said
Mr
.
Jarndyce
.
"
By
my
life
and
honour
,
yes
!
"
cried
the
visitor
.
"
I
wouldn
’
t
be
guilty
of
the
audacious
insolence
of
keeping
a
lady
of
the
house
waiting
all
this
time
for
any
earthly
consideration
.
I
would
infinitely
rather
destroy
myself
—
infinitely
rather
!
"
Talking
thus
,
they
went
upstairs
,
and
presently
we
heard
him
in
his
bedroom
thundering
"
Ha
,
ha
,
ha
!
"
and
again
"
Ha
,
ha
,
ha
!
"
until
the
flattest
echo
in
the
neighbourhood
seemed
to
catch
the
contagion
and
to
laugh
as
enjoyingly
as
he
did
or
as
we
did
when
we
heard
him
laugh
.
We
all
conceived
a
prepossession
in
his
favour
,
for
there
was
a
sterling
quality
in
this
laugh
,
and
in
his
vigorous
,
healthy
voice
,
and
in
the
roundness
and
fullness
with
which
he
uttered
every
word
he
spoke
,
and
in
the
very
fury
of
his
superlatives
,
which
seemed
to
go
off
like
blank
cannons
and
hurt
nothing
.
But
we
were
hardly
prepared
to
have
it
so
confirmed
by
his
appearance
when
Mr
.
Jarndyce
presented
him
.
He
was
not
only
a
very
handsome
old
gentleman
—
upright
and
stalwart
as
he
had
been
described
to
us
—
with
a
massive
grey
head
,
a
fine
composure
of
face
when
silent
,
a
figure
that
might
have
become
corpulent
but
for
his
being
so
continually
in
earnest
that
he
gave
it
no
rest
,
and
a
chin
that
might
have
subsided
into
a
double
chin
but
for
the
vehement
emphasis
in
which
it
was
constantly
required
to
assist
;
but
he
was
such
a
true
gentleman
in
his
manner
,
so
chivalrously
polite
,
his
face
was
lighted
by
a
smile
of
so
much
sweetness
and
tenderness
,
and
it
seemed
so
plain
that
he
had
nothing
to
hide
,
but
showed
himself
exactly
as
he
was
—
incapable
,
as
Richard
said
,
of
anything
on
a
limited
scale
,
and
firing
away
with
those
blank
great
guns
because
he
carried
no
small
arms
whatever
—
that
really
I
could
not
help
looking
at
him
with
equal
pleasure
as
he
sat
at
dinner
,
whether
he
smilingly
conversed
with
Ada
and
me
,
or
was
led
by
Mr
.
Jarndyce
into
some
great
volley
of
superlatives
,
or
threw
up
his
head
like
a
bloodhound
and
gave
out
that
tremendous
"
Ha
,
ha
,
ha
!
"
"
You
have
brought
your
bird
with
you
,
I
suppose
?
"
said
Mr
.
Jarndyce
.
"
By
heaven
,
he
is
the
most
astonishing
bird
in
Europe
!
"
replied
the
other
.
"
He
IS
the
most
wonderful
creature
!
I
wouldn
’
t
take
ten
thousand
guineas
for
that
bird
.
I
have
left
an
annuity
for
his
sole
support
in
case
he
should
outlive
me
.
He
is
,
in
sense
and
attachment
,
a
phenomenon
.
And
his
father
before
him
was
one
of
the
most
astonishing
birds
that
ever
lived
!
"
The
subject
of
this
laudation
was
a
very
little
canary
,
who
was
so
tame
that
he
was
brought
down
by
Mr
.
Boythorn
’
s
man
,
on
his
forefinger
,
and
after
taking
a
gentle
flight
round
the
room
,
alighted
on
his
master
’
s
head
.
To
hear
Mr
.
Boythorn
presently
expressing
the
most
implacable
and
passionate
sentiments
,
with
this
fragile
mite
of
a
creature
quietly
perched
on
his
forehead
,
was
to
have
a
good
illustration
of
his
character
,
I
thought
.
"
By
my
soul
,
Jarndyce
,
"
he
said
,
very
gently
holding
up
a
bit
of
bread
to
the
canary
to
peck
at
,
"
if
I
were
in
your
place
I
would
seize
every
master
in
Chancery
by
the
throat
to
-
morrow
morning
and
shake
him
until
his
money
rolled
out
of
his
pockets
and
his
bones
rattled
in
his
skin
.
I
would
have
a
settlement
out
of
somebody
,
by
fair
means
or
by
foul
.
If
you
would
empower
me
to
do
it
,
I
would
do
it
for
you
with
the
greatest
satisfaction
!
"
(
All
this
time
the
very
small
canary
was
eating
out
of
his
hand
.
)
"
I
thank
you
,
Lawrence
,
but
the
suit
is
hardly
at
such
a
point
at
present
,
"
returned
Mr
.
Jarndyce
,
laughing
,
"
that
it
would
be
greatly
advanced
even
by
the
legal
process
of
shaking
the
bench
and
the
whole
bar
.
"
"
There
never
was
such
an
infernal
cauldron
as
that
Chancery
on
the
face
of
the
earth
!
"
said
Mr
.
Boythorn
.
"
Nothing
but
a
mine
below
it
on
a
busy
day
in
term
time
,
with
all
its
records
,
rules
,
and
precedents
collected
in
it
and
every
functionary
belonging
to
it
also
,
high
and
low
,
upward
and
downward
,
from
its
son
the
Accountant
-
General
to
its
father
the
Devil
,
and
the
whole
blown
to
atoms
with
ten
thousand
hundredweight
of
gunpowder
,
would
reform
it
in
the
least
!
"
It
was
impossible
not
to
laugh
at
the
energetic
gravity
with
which
he
recommended
this
strong
measure
of
reform
.
When
we
laughed
,
he
threw
up
his
head
and
shook
his
broad
chest
,
and
again
the
whole
country
seemed
to
echo
to
his
"
Ha
,
ha
,
ha
!
"
It
had
not
the
least
effect
in
disturbing
the
bird
,
whose
sense
of
security
was
complete
and
who
hopped
about
the
table
with
its
quick
head
now
on
this
side
and
now
on
that
,
turning
its
bright
sudden
eye
on
its
master
as
if
he
were
no
more
than
another
bird
.
"
But
how
do
you
and
your
neighbour
get
on
about
the
disputed
right
of
way
?
"
said
Mr
.
Jarndyce
.
"
You
are
not
free
from
the
toils
of
the
law
yourself
!
"
"
The
fellow
has
brought
actions
against
ME
for
trespass
,
and
I
have
brought
actions
against
HIM
for
trespass
,
"
returned
Mr
.
Boythorn
.
"
By
heaven
,
he
is
the
proudest
fellow
breathing
.
It
is
morally
impossible
that
his
name
can
be
Sir
Leicester
.
It
must
be
Sir
Lucifer
.
"
"
Complimentary
to
our
distant
relation
!
"
said
my
guardian
laughingly
to
Ada
and
Richard
.
"
I
would
beg
Miss
Clare
’
s
pardon
and
Mr
.
Carstone
’
s
pardon
,
"
resumed
our
visitor
,
"
if
I
were
not
reassured
by
seeing
in
the
fair
face
of
the
lady
and
the
smile
of
the
gentleman
that
it
is
quite
unnecessary
and
that
they
keep
their
distant
relation
at
a
comfortable
distance
.
"
"
Or
he
keeps
us
,
"
suggested
Richard
.
"
By
my
soul
,
"
exclaimed
Mr
.
Boythorn
,
suddenly
firing
another
volley
,
"
that
fellow
is
,
and
his
father
was
,
and
his
grandfather
was
,
the
most
stiff
-
necked
,
arrogant
imbecile
,
pig
-
headed
numskull
,
ever
,
by
some
inexplicable
mistake
of
Nature
,
born
in
any
station
of
life
but
a
walking
-
stick
’
s
!
The
whole
of
that
family
are
the
most
solemnly
conceited
and
consummate
blockheads
!
But
it
’
s
no
matter
;
he
should
not
shut
up
my
path
if
he
were
fifty
baronets
melted
into
one
and
living
in
a
hundred
Chesney
Wolds
,
one
within
another
,
like
the
ivory
balls
in
a
Chinese
carving
.
The
fellow
,
by
his
agent
,
or
secretary
,
or
somebody
,
writes
to
me
’
Sir
Leicester
Dedlock
,
Baronet
,
presents
his
compliments
to
Mr
.
Lawrence
Boythorn
,
and
has
to
call
his
attention
to
the
fact
that
the
green
pathway
by
the
old
parsonage
-
house
,
now
the
property
of
Mr
.
Lawrence
Boythorn
,
is
Sir
Leicester
’
s
right
of
way
,
being
in
fact
a
portion
of
the
park
of
Chesney
Wold
,
and
that
Sir
Leicester
finds
it
convenient
to
close
up
the
same
.
’
I
write
to
the
fellow
,
’
Mr
.
Lawrence
Boythorn
presents
his
compliments
to
Sir
Leicester
Dedlock
,
Baronet
,
and
has
to
call
HIS
attention
to
the
fact
that
he
totally
denies
the
whole
of
Sir
Leicester
Dedlock
’
s
positions
on
every
possible
subject
and
has
to
add
,
in
reference
to
closing
up
the
pathway
,
that
he
will
be
glad
to
see
the
man
who
may
undertake
to
do
it
.
’
The
fellow
sends
a
most
abandoned
villain
with
one
eye
to
construct
a
gateway
.
I
play
upon
that
execrable
scoundrel
with
a
fire
-
engine
until
the
breath
is
nearly
driven
out
of
his
body
.
The
fellow
erects
a
gate
in
the
night
.
I
chop
it
down
and
burn
it
in
the
morning
.
