He
sends
his
myrmidons
to
come
over
the
fence
and
pass
and
repass
.
I
catch
them
in
humane
man
traps
,
fire
split
peas
at
their
legs
,
play
upon
them
with
the
engine
—
resolve
to
free
mankind
from
the
insupportable
burden
of
the
existence
of
those
lurking
ruffians
.
He
brings
actions
for
trespass
;
I
bring
actions
for
trespass
.
He
brings
actions
for
assault
and
battery
;
I
defend
them
and
continue
to
assault
and
batter
.
Ha
,
ha
,
ha
!
"
To
hear
him
say
all
this
with
unimaginable
energy
,
one
might
have
thought
him
the
angriest
of
mankind
.
To
see
him
at
the
very
same
time
,
looking
at
the
bird
now
perched
upon
his
thumb
and
softly
smoothing
its
feathers
with
his
forefinger
,
one
might
have
thought
him
the
gentlest
.
To
hear
him
laugh
and
see
the
broad
good
nature
of
his
face
then
,
one
might
have
supposed
that
he
had
not
a
care
in
the
world
,
or
a
dispute
,
or
a
dislike
,
but
that
his
whole
existence
was
a
summer
joke
.
"
No
,
no
,
"
he
said
,
"
no
closing
up
of
my
paths
by
any
Dedlock
!
Though
I
willingly
confess
,
"
here
he
softened
in
a
moment
,
"
that
Lady
Dedlock
is
the
most
accomplished
lady
in
the
world
,
to
whom
I
would
do
any
homage
that
a
plain
gentleman
,
and
no
baronet
with
a
head
seven
hundred
years
thick
,
may
.
A
man
who
joined
his
regiment
at
twenty
and
within
a
week
challenged
the
most
imperious
and
presumptuous
coxcomb
of
a
commanding
officer
that
ever
drew
the
breath
of
life
through
a
tight
waist
—
and
got
broke
for
it
—
is
not
the
man
to
be
walked
over
by
all
the
Sir
Lucifers
,
dead
or
alive
,
locked
or
unlocked
.
Ha
,
ha
,
ha
!
"
"
Nor
the
man
to
allow
his
junior
to
be
walked
over
either
?
"
said
my
guardian
.
"
Most
assuredly
not
!
"
said
Mr
.
Boythorn
,
clapping
him
on
the
shoulder
with
an
air
of
protection
that
had
something
serious
in
it
,
though
he
laughed
.
"
He
will
stand
by
the
low
boy
,
always
.
Jarndyce
,
you
may
rely
upon
him
!
But
speaking
of
this
trespass
—
with
apologies
to
Miss
Clare
and
Miss
Summerson
for
the
length
at
which
I
have
pursued
so
dry
a
subject
—
is
there
nothing
for
me
from
your
men
Kenge
and
Carboy
?
"
"
I
think
not
,
Esther
?
"
said
Mr
.
Jarndyce
.
"
Nothing
,
guardian
.
"
"
Much
obliged
!
"
said
Mr
.
Boythorn
.
"
Had
no
need
to
ask
,
after
even
my
slight
experience
of
Miss
Summerson
’
s
forethought
for
every
one
about
her
.
"
(
They
all
encouraged
me
;
they
were
determined
to
do
it
.
)
"
I
inquired
because
,
coming
from
Lincolnshire
,
I
of
course
have
not
yet
been
in
town
,
and
I
thought
some
letters
might
have
been
sent
down
here
.
I
dare
say
they
will
report
progress
to
-
morrow
morning
.
"
I
saw
him
so
often
in
the
course
of
the
evening
,
which
passed
very
pleasantly
,
contemplate
Richard
and
Ada
with
an
interest
and
a
satisfaction
that
made
his
fine
face
remarkably
agreeable
as
he
sat
at
a
little
distance
from
the
piano
listening
to
the
music
—
and
he
had
small
occasion
to
tell
us
that
he
was
passionately
fond
of
music
,
for
his
face
showed
it
—
that
I
asked
my
guardian
as
we
sat
at
the
backgammon
board
whether
Mr
.
Boythorn
had
ever
been
married
.
"
No
,
"
said
he
.
"
No
.
"
"
But
he
meant
to
be
!
"
said
I
.
"
How
did
you
find
out
that
?
"
he
returned
with
a
smile
.
"
Why
,
guardian
,
"
I
explained
,
not
without
reddening
a
little
at
hazarding
what
was
in
my
thoughts
,
"
there
is
something
so
tender
in
his
manner
,
after
all
,
and
he
is
so
very
courtly
and
gentle
to
us
,
and
—
"
Mr
.
Jarndyce
directed
his
eyes
to
where
he
was
sitting
as
I
have
just
described
him
.
I
said
no
more
.
"
You
are
right
,
little
woman
,
"
he
answered
.
"
He
was
all
but
married
once
.
Long
ago
.
And
once
.
"
"
Did
the
lady
die
?
"
"
No
—
but
she
died
to
him
.
That
time
has
had
its
influence
on
all
his
later
life
.
Would
you
suppose
him
to
have
a
head
and
a
heart
full
of
romance
yet
?
"
"
I
think
,
guardian
,
I
might
have
supposed
so
.
But
it
is
easy
to
say
that
when
you
have
told
me
so
.
"
"
He
has
never
since
been
what
he
might
have
been
,
"
said
Mr
.
Jarndyce
,
"
and
now
you
see
him
in
his
age
with
no
one
near
him
but
his
servant
and
his
little
yellow
friend
.
It
’
s
your
throw
,
my
dear
!
"
I
felt
,
from
my
guardian
’
s
manner
,
that
beyond
this
point
I
could
not
pursue
the
subject
without
changing
the
wind
.
I
therefore
forbore
to
ask
any
further
questions
.
I
was
interested
,
but
not
curious
.
I
thought
a
little
while
about
this
old
love
story
in
the
night
,
when
I
was
awakened
by
Mr
.
Boythorn
’
s
lusty
snoring
;
and
I
tried
to
do
that
very
difficult
thing
,
imagine
old
people
young
again
and
invested
with
the
graces
of
youth
.
But
I
fell
asleep
before
I
had
succeeded
,
and
dreamed
of
the
days
when
I
lived
in
my
godmother
’
s
house
.
I
am
not
sufficiently
acquainted
with
such
subjects
to
know
whether
it
is
at
all
remarkable
that
I
almost
always
dreamed
of
that
period
of
my
life
.
With
the
morning
there
came
a
letter
from
Messrs
.
Kenge
and
Carboy
to
Mr
.
Boythorn
informing
him
that
one
of
their
clerks
would
wait
upon
him
at
noon
.
As
it
was
the
day
of
the
week
on
which
I
paid
the
bills
,
and
added
up
my
books
,
and
made
all
the
household
affairs
as
compact
as
possible
,
I
remained
at
home
while
Mr
.
Jarndyce
,
Ada
,
and
Richard
took
advantage
of
a
very
fine
day
to
make
a
little
excursion
,
Mr
.
Boythorn
was
to
wait
for
Kenge
and
Carboy
’
s
clerk
and
then
was
to
go
on
foot
to
meet
them
on
their
return
.
Well
!
I
was
full
of
business
,
examining
tradesmen
’
s
books
,
adding
up
columns
,
paying
money
,
filing
receipts
,
and
I
dare
say
making
a
great
bustle
about
it
when
Mr
.
Guppy
was
announced
and
shown
in
.
I
had
had
some
idea
that
the
clerk
who
was
to
be
sent
down
might
be
the
young
gentleman
who
had
met
me
at
the
coach
-
office
,
and
I
was
glad
to
see
him
,
because
he
was
associated
with
my
present
happiness
.
I
scarcely
knew
him
again
,
he
was
so
uncommonly
smart
.
He
had
an
entirely
new
suit
of
glossy
clothes
on
,
a
shining
hat
,
lilac
-
kid
gloves
,
a
neckerchief
of
a
variety
of
colours
,
a
large
hot
-
house
flower
in
his
button
-
hole
,
and
a
thick
gold
ring
on
his
little
finger
.
Besides
which
,
he
quite
scented
the
dining
-
room
with
bear
’
s
-
grease
and
other
perfumery
.
He
looked
at
me
with
an
attention
that
quite
confused
me
when
I
begged
him
to
take
a
seat
until
the
servant
should
return
;
and
as
he
sat
there
crossing
and
uncrossing
his
legs
in
a
corner
,
and
I
asked
him
if
he
had
had
a
pleasant
ride
,
and
hoped
that
Mr
.
Kenge
was
well
,
I
never
looked
at
him
,
but
I
found
him
looking
at
me
in
the
same
scrutinizing
and
curious
way
.
When
the
request
was
brought
to
him
that
he
would
go
upstairs
to
Mr
.
Boythorn
’
s
room
,
I
mentioned
that
he
would
find
lunch
prepared
for
him
when
he
came
down
,
of
which
Mr
.
Jarndyce
hoped
he
would
partake
.
He
said
with
some
embarrassment
,
holding
the
handle
of
the
door
,
"
Shall
I
have
the
honour
of
finding
you
here
,
miss
?
"
I
replied
yes
,
I
should
be
there
;
and
he
went
out
with
a
bow
and
another
look
.
I
thought
him
only
awkward
and
shy
,
for
he
was
evidently
much
embarrassed
;
and
I
fancied
that
the
best
thing
I
could
do
would
be
to
wait
until
I
saw
that
he
had
everything
he
wanted
and
then
to
leave
him
to
himself
.
The
lunch
was
soon
brought
,
but
it
remained
for
some
time
on
the
table
.
The
interview
with
Mr
.
Boythorn
was
a
long
one
,
and
a
stormy
one
too
,
I
should
think
,
for
although
his
room
was
at
some
distance
I
heard
his
loud
voice
rising
every
now
and
then
like
a
high
wind
,
and
evidently
blowing
perfect
broadsides
of
denunciation
.
At
last
Mr
.
Guppy
came
back
,
looking
something
the
worse
for
the
conference
.
"
My
eye
,
miss
,
"
he
said
in
a
low
voice
,
"
he
’
s
a
Tartar
!
"
"
Pray
take
some
refreshment
,
sir
,
"
said
I
.
Mr
.
Guppy
sat
down
at
the
table
and
began
nervously
sharpening
the
carving
-
knife
on
the
carving
-
fork
,
still
looking
at
me
(
as
I
felt
quite
sure
without
looking
at
him
)
in
the
same
unusual
manner
.
The
sharpening
lasted
so
long
that
at
last
I
felt
a
kind
of
obligation
on
me
to
raise
my
eyes
in
order
that
I
might
break
the
spell
under
which
he
seemed
to
labour
,
of
not
being
able
to
leave
off
.
He
immediately
looked
at
the
dish
and
began
to
carve
.
"
What
will
you
take
yourself
,
miss
?
You
’
ll
take
a
morsel
of
something
?
"
"
No
,
thank
you
,
"
said
I
.
"
Shan
’
t
I
give
you
a
piece
of
anything
at
all
,
miss
?
"
said
Mr
.
Guppy
,
hurriedly
drinking
off
a
glass
of
wine
.
"
Nothing
,
thank
you
,
"
said
I
.
"
I
have
only
waited
to
see
that
you
have
everything
you
want
.
Is
there
anything
I
can
order
for
you
?
"
"
No
,
I
am
much
obliged
to
you
,
miss
,
I
’
m
sure
.
I
’
ve
everything
that
I
can
require
to
make
me
comfortable
—
at
least
I
—
not
comfortable
—
I
’
m
never
that
.
"
He
drank
off
two
more
glasses
of
wine
,
one
after
another
.
I
thought
I
had
better
go
.
"
I
beg
your
pardon
,
miss
!
"
said
Mr
.
Guppy
,
rising
when
he
saw
me
rise
.
"
But
would
you
allow
me
the
favour
of
a
minute
’
s
private
conversation
?
"
Not
knowing
what
to
say
,
I
sat
down
again
.
"
What
follows
is
without
prejudice
,
miss
?
"
said
Mr
.
Guppy
,
anxiously
bringing
a
chair
towards
my
table
.
"
I
don
’
t
understand
what
you
mean
,
"
said
I
,
wondering
.
"
It
’
s
one
of
our
law
terms
,
miss
.
You
won
’
t
make
any
use
of
it
to
my
detriment
at
Kenge
and
Carboy
’
s
or
elsewhere
.
If
our
conversation
shouldn
’
t
lead
to
anything
,
I
am
to
be
as
I
was
and
am
not
to
be
prejudiced
in
my
situation
or
worldly
prospects
.
In
short
,
it
’
s
in
total
confidence
.
"
"
I
am
at
a
loss
,
sir
,
"
said
I
,
"
to
imagine
what
you
can
have
to
communicate
in
total
confidence
to
me
,
whom
you
have
never
seen
but
once
;
but
I
should
be
very
sorry
to
do
you
any
injury
.
"
"
Thank
you
,
miss
.
I
’
m
sure
of
it
—
that
’
s
quite
sufficient
.
"
All
this
time
Mr
.
Guppy
was
either
planing
his
forehead
with
his
handkerchief
or
tightly
rubbing
the
palm
of
his
left
hand
with
the
palm
of
his
right
.
"
If
you
would
excuse
my
taking
another
glass
of
wine
,
miss
,
I
think
it
might
assist
me
in
getting
on
without
a
continual
choke
that
cannot
fail
to
be
mutually
unpleasant
.
"
He
did
so
,
and
came
back
again
.
I
took
the
opportunity
of
moving
well
behind
my
table
.
"
You
wouldn
’
t
allow
me
to
offer
you
one
,
would
you
miss
?
"
said
Mr
.
Guppy
,
apparently
refreshed
.
"
Not
any
,
"
said
I
.
"
Not
half
a
glass
?
"
said
Mr
.
Guppy
.
"
Quarter
?
No
!
Then
,
to
proceed
.
My
present
salary
,
Miss
Summerson
,
at
Kenge
and
Carboy
’
s
,
is
two
pound
a
week
.
When
I
first
had
the
happiness
of
looking
upon
you
,
it
was
one
fifteen
,
and
had
stood
at
that
figure
for
a
lengthened
period
.
A
rise
of
five
has
since
taken
place
,
and
a
further
rise
of
five
is
guaranteed
at
the
expiration
of
a
term
not
exceeding
twelve
months
from
the
present
date
.
My
mother
has
a
little
property
,
which
takes
the
form
of
a
small
life
annuity
,
upon
which
she
lives
in
an
independent
though
unassuming
manner
in
the
Old
Street
Road
.
She
is
eminently
calculated
for
a
mother
-
in
-
law
.
She
never
interferes
,
is
all
for
peace
,
and
her
disposition
easy
.
She
has
her
failings
—
as
who
has
not
?
—
but
I
never
knew
her
do
it
when
company
was
present
,
at
which
time
you
may
freely
trust
her
with
wines
,
spirits
,
or
malt
liquors
.
My
own
abode
is
lodgings
at
Penton
Place
,
Pentonville
.
It
is
lowly
,
but
airy
,
open
at
the
back
,
and
considered
one
of
the
’
ealthiest
outlets
.
Miss
Summerson
!
In
the
mildest
language
,
I
adore
you
.
Would
you
be
so
kind
as
to
allow
me
(
as
I
may
say
)
to
file
a
declaration
—
to
make
an
offer
!
"
Mr
.
Guppy
went
down
on
his
knees
.
I
was
well
behind
my
table
and
not
much
frightened
.
I
said
,
"
Get
up
from
that
ridiculous
position
immediately
,
sir
,
or
you
will
oblige
me
to
break
my
implied
promise
and
ring
the
bell
!
"
"
Hear
me
out
,
miss
!
"
said
Mr
.
Guppy
,
folding
his
hands
.
"
I
cannot
consent
to
hear
another
word
,
sir
,
"
I
returned
,
"
Unless
you
get
up
from
the
carpet
directly
and
go
and
sit
down
at
the
table
as
you
ought
to
do
if
you
have
any
sense
at
all
.
"
He
looked
piteously
,
but
slowly
rose
and
did
so
.
"
Yet
what
a
mockery
it
is
,
miss
,
"
he
said
with
his
hand
upon
his
heart
and
shaking
his
head
at
me
in
a
melancholy
manner
over
the
tray
,
"
to
be
stationed
behind
food
at
such
a
moment
.
The
soul
recoils
from
food
at
such
a
moment
,
miss
.
"
"
I
beg
you
to
conclude
,
"
said
I
;
"
you
have
asked
me
to
hear
you
out
,
and
I
beg
you
to
conclude
.
"
"
I
will
,
miss
,
"
said
Mr
.
Guppy
.
"
As
I
love
and
honour
,
so
likewise
I
obey
.
Would
that
I
could
make
thee
the
subject
of
that
vow
before
the
shrine
!
"
"
That
is
quite
impossible
,
"
said
I
,
"
and
entirely
out
of
the
question
.
"
"
I
am
aware
,
"
said
Mr
.
Guppy
,
leaning
forward
over
the
tray
and
regarding
me
,
as
I
again
strangely
felt
,
though
my
eyes
were
not
directed
to
him
,
with
his
late
intent
look
,
"
I
am
aware
that
in
a
worldly
point
of
view
,
according
to
all
appearances
,
my
offer
is
a
poor
one
.
But
,
Miss
Summerson
!
Angel
!
No
,
don
’
t
ring
—
I
have
been
brought
up
in
a
sharp
school
and
am
accustomed
to
a
variety
of
general
practice
.
Though
a
young
man
,
I
have
ferreted
out
evidence
,
got
up
cases
,
and
seen
lots
of
life
.
Blest
with
your
hand
,
what
means
might
I
not
find
of
advancing
your
interests
and
pushing
your
fortunes
!
What
might
I
not
get
to
know
,
nearly
concerning
you
?
I
know
nothing
now
,
certainly
;
but
what
MIGHT
I
not
if
I
had
your
confidence
,
and
you
set
me
on
?
"
I
told
him
that
he
addressed
my
interest
or
what
he
supposed
to
be
my
interest
quite
as
unsuccessfully
as
he
addressed
my
inclination
,
and
he
would
now
understand
that
I
requested
him
,
if
he
pleased
,
to
go
away
immediately
.
"
Cruel
miss
,
"
said
Mr
.
Guppy
,
"
hear
but
another
word
!
I
think
you
must
have
seen
that
I
was
struck
with
those
charms
on
the
day
when
I
waited
at
the
Whytorseller
.
I
think
you
must
have
remarked
that
I
could
not
forbear
a
tribute
to
those
charms
when
I
put
up
the
steps
of
the
’
ackney
-
coach
.
It
was
a
feeble
tribute
to
thee
,
but
it
was
well
meant
.
Thy
image
has
ever
since
been
fixed
in
my
breast
.
I
have
walked
up
and
down
of
an
evening
opposite
Jellyby
’
s
house
only
to
look
upon
the
bricks
that
once
contained
thee
.
This
out
of
to
-
day
,
quite
an
unnecessary
out
so
far
as
the
attendance
,
which
was
its
pretended
object
,
went
,
was
planned
by
me
alone
for
thee
alone
.
If
I
speak
of
interest
,
it
is
only
to
recommend
myself
and
my
respectful
wretchedness
.
Love
was
before
it
,
and
is
before
it
.
"
"
I
should
be
pained
,
Mr
.
Guppy
,
"
said
I
,
rising
and
putting
my
hand
upon
the
bell
-
rope
,
"
to
do
you
or
any
one
who
was
sincere
the
injustice
of
slighting
any
honest
feeling
,
however
disagreeably
expressed
.
If
you
have
really
meant
to
give
me
a
proof
of
your
good
opinion
,
though
ill
-
timed
and
misplaced
,
I
feel
that
I
ought
to
thank
you
.
I
have
very
little
reason
to
be
proud
,
and
I
am
not
proud
.
I
hope
,
"
I
think
I
added
,
without
very
well
knowing
what
I
said
,
"
that
you
will
now
go
away
as
if
you
had
never
been
so
exceedingly
foolish
and
attend
to
Messrs
.
Kenge
and
Carboy
’
s
business
.
"
"
Half
a
minute
,
miss
!
"
cried
Mr
.
Guppy
,
checking
me
as
I
was
about
to
ring
.
"
This
has
been
without
prejudice
?
"
"
I
will
never
mention
it
,
"
said
I
,
"
unless
you
should
give
me
future
occasion
to
do
so
.
"
"
A
quarter
of
a
minute
,
miss
!
In
case
you
should
think
better
at
any
time
,
however
distant
—
THAT
’
S
no
consequence
,
for
my
feelings
can
never
alter
—
of
anything
I
have
said
,
particularly
what
might
I
not
do
,
Mr
.
William
Guppy
,
eighty
-
seven
,
Penton
Place
,
or
if
removed
,
or
dead
(
of
blighted
hopes
or
anything
of
that
sort
)
,
care
of
Mrs
.
Guppy
,
three
hundred
and
two
,
Old
Street
Road
,
will
be
sufficient
.
"
I
rang
the
bell
,
the
servant
came
,
and
Mr
.
Guppy
,
laying
his
written
card
upon
the
table
and
making
a
dejected
bow
,
departed
.
Raising
my
eyes
as
he
went
out
,
I
once
more
saw
him
looking
at
me
after
he
had
passed
the
door
.
I
sat
there
for
another
hour
or
more
,
finishing
my
books
and
payments
and
getting
through
plenty
of
business
.
Then
I
arranged
my
desk
,
and
put
everything
away
,
and
was
so
composed
and
cheerful
that
I
thought
I
had
quite
dismissed
this
unexpected
incident
.
But
,
when
I
went
upstairs
to
my
own
room
,
I
surprised
myself
by
beginning
to
laugh
about
it
and
then
surprised
myself
still
more
by
beginning
to
cry
about
it
