We
held
many
consultations
about
what
Richard
was
to
be
,
first
without
Mr
.
Jarndyce
,
as
he
had
requested
,
and
afterwards
with
him
,
but
it
was
a
long
time
before
we
seemed
to
make
progress
.
Richard
said
he
was
ready
for
anything
.
When
Mr
.
Jarndyce
doubted
whether
he
might
not
already
be
too
old
to
enter
the
Navy
,
Richard
said
he
had
thought
of
that
,
and
perhaps
he
was
.
When
Mr
.
Jarndyce
asked
him
what
he
thought
of
the
Army
,
Richard
said
he
had
thought
of
that
,
too
,
and
it
wasn
’
t
a
bad
idea
.
When
Mr
.
Jarndyce
advised
him
to
try
and
decide
within
himself
whether
his
old
preference
for
the
sea
was
an
ordinary
boyish
inclination
or
a
strong
impulse
,
Richard
answered
,
Well
he
really
HAD
tried
very
often
,
and
he
couldn
’
t
make
out
.
"
How
much
of
this
indecision
of
character
,
"
Mr
.
Jarndyce
said
to
me
,
"
is
chargeable
on
that
incomprehensible
heap
of
uncertainty
and
procrastination
on
which
he
has
been
thrown
from
his
birth
,
I
don
’
t
pretend
to
say
;
but
that
Chancery
,
among
its
other
sins
,
is
responsible
for
some
of
it
,
I
can
plainly
see
.
It
has
engendered
or
confirmed
in
him
a
habit
of
putting
off
—
and
trusting
to
this
,
that
,
and
the
other
chance
,
without
knowing
what
chance
—
and
dismissing
everything
as
unsettled
,
uncertain
,
and
confused
.
The
character
of
much
older
and
steadier
people
may
be
even
changed
by
the
circumstances
surrounding
them
.
It
would
be
too
much
to
expect
that
a
boy
’
s
,
in
its
formation
,
should
be
the
subject
of
such
influences
and
escape
them
.
"
I
felt
this
to
be
true
;
though
if
I
may
venture
to
mention
what
I
thought
besides
,
I
thought
it
much
to
be
regretted
that
Richard
’
s
education
had
not
counteracted
those
influences
or
directed
his
character
.
He
had
been
eight
years
at
a
public
school
and
had
learnt
,
I
understood
,
to
make
Latin
verses
of
several
sorts
in
the
most
admirable
manner
.
But
I
never
heard
that
it
had
been
anybody
’
s
business
to
find
out
what
his
natural
bent
was
,
or
where
his
failings
lay
,
or
to
adapt
any
kind
of
knowledge
to
HIM
.
HE
had
been
adapted
to
the
verses
and
had
learnt
the
art
of
making
them
to
such
perfection
that
if
he
had
remained
at
school
until
he
was
of
age
,
I
suppose
he
could
only
have
gone
on
making
them
over
and
over
again
unless
he
had
enlarged
his
education
by
forgetting
how
to
do
it
.
Still
,
although
I
had
no
doubt
that
they
were
very
beautiful
,
and
very
improving
,
and
very
sufficient
for
a
great
many
purposes
of
life
,
and
always
remembered
all
through
life
,
I
did
doubt
whether
Richard
would
not
have
profited
by
some
one
studying
him
a
little
,
instead
of
his
studying
them
quite
so
much
.
To
be
sure
,
I
knew
nothing
of
the
subject
and
do
not
even
now
know
whether
the
young
gentlemen
of
classic
Rome
or
Greece
made
verses
to
the
same
extent
—
or
whether
the
young
gentlemen
of
any
country
ever
did
.
"
I
haven
’
t
the
least
idea
,
"
said
Richard
,
musing
,
"
what
I
had
better
be
.
Except
that
I
am
quite
sure
I
don
’
t
want
to
go
into
the
Church
,
it
’
s
a
toss
-
up
.
"
"
You
have
no
inclination
in
Mr
.
Kenge
’
s
way
?
"
suggested
Mr
.
Jarndyce
.
"
I
don
’
t
know
that
,
sir
!
"
replied
Richard
.
"
I
am
fond
of
boating
.
Articled
clerks
go
a
good
deal
on
the
water
.
It
’
s
a
capital
profession
!
"
"
Surgeon
—
"
suggested
Mr
.
Jarndyce
.
"
That
’
s
the
thing
,
sir
!
"
cried
Richard
.
I
doubt
if
he
had
ever
once
thought
of
it
before
.
"
That
’
s
the
thing
,
sir
,
"
repeated
Richard
with
the
greatest
enthusiasm
.
"
We
have
got
it
at
last
.
M
.
R
.
C
.
S
.
!
"
He
was
not
to
be
laughed
out
of
it
,
though
he
laughed
at
it
heartily
.
He
said
he
had
chosen
his
profession
,
and
the
more
he
thought
of
it
,
the
more
he
felt
that
his
destiny
was
clear
;
the
art
of
healing
was
the
art
of
all
others
for
him
.
Mistrusting
that
he
only
came
to
this
conclusion
because
,
having
never
had
much
chance
of
finding
out
for
himself
what
he
was
fitted
for
and
having
never
been
guided
to
the
discovery
,
he
was
taken
by
the
newest
idea
and
was
glad
to
get
rid
of
the
trouble
of
consideration
,
I
wondered
whether
the
Latin
verses
often
ended
in
this
or
whether
Richard
’
s
was
a
solitary
case
.
Mr
.
Jarndyce
took
great
pains
to
talk
with
him
seriously
and
to
put
it
to
his
good
sense
not
to
deceive
himself
in
so
important
a
matter
.
Richard
was
a
little
grave
after
these
interviews
,
but
invariably
told
Ada
and
me
that
it
was
all
right
,
and
then
began
to
talk
about
something
else
.
"
By
heaven
!
"
cried
Mr
.
Boythorn
,
who
interested
himself
strongly
in
the
subject
—
though
I
need
not
say
that
,
for
he
could
do
nothing
weakly
;
"
I
rejoice
to
find
a
young
gentleman
of
spirit
and
gallantry
devoting
himself
to
that
noble
profession
!
The
more
spirit
there
is
in
it
,
the
better
for
mankind
and
the
worse
for
those
mercenary
task
-
masters
and
low
tricksters
who
delight
in
putting
that
illustrious
art
at
a
disadvantage
in
the
world
.
By
all
that
is
base
and
despicable
,
"
cried
Mr
.
Boythorn
,
"
the
treatment
of
surgeons
aboard
ship
is
such
that
I
would
submit
the
legs
—
both
legs
—
of
every
member
of
the
Admiralty
Board
to
a
compound
fracture
and
render
it
a
transportable
offence
in
any
qualified
practitioner
to
set
them
if
the
system
were
not
wholly
changed
in
eight
and
forty
hours
!
"
"
Wouldn
’
t
you
give
them
a
week
?
"
asked
Mr
.
Jarndyce
.
"
No
!
"
cried
Mr
.
Boythorn
firmly
.
"
Not
on
any
consideration
!
Eight
and
forty
hours
!
As
to
corporations
,
parishes
,
vestry
-
boards
,
and
similar
gatherings
of
jolter
-
headed
clods
who
assemble
to
exchange
such
speeches
that
,
by
heaven
,
they
ought
to
be
worked
in
quicksilver
mines
for
the
short
remainder
of
their
miserable
existence
,
if
it
were
only
to
prevent
their
detestable
English
from
contaminating
a
language
spoken
in
the
presence
of
the
sun
—
as
to
those
fellows
,
who
meanly
take
advantage
of
the
ardour
of
gentlemen
in
the
pursuit
of
knowledge
to
recompense
the
inestimable
services
of
the
best
years
of
their
lives
,
their
long
study
,
and
their
expensive
education
with
pittances
too
small
for
the
acceptance
of
clerks
,
I
would
have
the
necks
of
every
one
of
them
wrung
and
their
skulls
arranged
in
Surgeons
’
Hall
for
the
contemplation
of
the
whole
profession
in
order
that
its
younger
members
might
understand
from
actual
measurement
,
in
early
life
,
HOW
thick
skulls
may
become
!
"
He
wound
up
this
vehement
declaration
by
looking
round
upon
us
with
a
most
agreeable
smile
and
suddenly
thundering
,
"
Ha
,
ha
,
ha
!
"
over
and
over
again
,
until
anybody
else
might
have
been
expected
to
be
quite
subdued
by
the
exertion
.
As
Richard
still
continued
to
say
that
he
was
fixed
in
his
choice
after
repeated
periods
for
consideration
had
been
recommended
by
Mr
.
Jarndyce
and
had
expired
,
and
he
still
continued
to
assure
Ada
and
me
in
the
same
final
manner
that
it
was
"
all
right
,
"
it
became
advisable
to
take
Mr
.
Kenge
into
council
.
Mr
.
Kenge
,
therefore
,
came
down
to
dinner
one
day
,
and
leaned
back
in
his
chair
,
and
turned
his
eye
-
glasses
over
and
over
,
and
spoke
in
a
sonorous
voice
,
and
did
exactly
what
I
remembered
to
have
seen
him
do
when
I
was
a
little
girl
.
"
Ah
!
"
said
Mr
.
Kenge
.
"
Yes
.
Well
!
A
very
good
profession
,
Mr
.
Jarndyce
,
a
very
good
profession
.
"
"
The
course
of
study
and
preparation
requires
to
be
diligently
pursued
,
"
observed
my
guardian
with
a
glance
at
Richard
.
"
Oh
,
no
doubt
,
"
said
Mr
.
Kenge
.
"
Diligently
.
"
"
But
that
being
the
case
,
more
or
less
,
with
all
pursuits
that
are
worth
much
,
"
said
Mr
.
Jarndyce
,
"
it
is
not
a
special
consideration
which
another
choice
would
be
likely
to
escape
.
"
"
Truly
,
"
said
Mr
.
Kenge
.
"
And
Mr
.
Richard
Carstone
,
who
has
so
meritoriously
acquitted
himself
in
the
—
shall
I
say
the
classic
shades
?
—
in
which
his
youth
had
been
passed
,
will
,
no
doubt
,
apply
the
habits
,
if
not
the
principles
and
practice
,
of
versification
in
that
tongue
in
which
a
poet
was
said
(
unless
I
mistake
)
to
be
born
,
not
made
,
to
the
more
eminently
practical
field
of
action
on
which
he
enters
.
"
"
You
may
rely
upon
it
,
"
said
Richard
in
his
off
-
hand
manner
,
"
that
I
shall
go
at
it
and
do
my
best
.
"
"
Very
well
,
Mr
.
Jarndyce
!
"
said
Mr
.
Kenge
,
gently
nodding
his
head
.
"
Really
,
when
we
are
assured
by
Mr
.
Richard
that
he
means
to
go
at
it
and
to
do
his
best
,
"
nodding
feelingly
and
smoothly
over
those
expressions
,
"
I
would
submit
to
you
that
we
have
only
to
inquire
into
the
best
mode
of
carrying
out
the
object
of
his
ambition
.
Now
,
with
reference
to
placing
Mr
.
Richard
with
some
sufficiently
eminent
practitioner
.
Is
there
any
one
in
view
at
present
?
"
"
No
one
,
Rick
,
I
think
?
"
said
my
guardian
.
"
No
one
,
sir
,
"
said
Richard
.
"
Quite
so
!
"
observed
Mr
.
Kenge
.
"
As
to
situation
,
now
.
Is
there
any
particular
feeling
on
that
head
?
"
"
N
—
no
,
"
said
Richard
.
"
Quite
so
!
"
observed
Mr
.
Kenge
again
.
"
I
should
like
a
little
variety
,
"
said
Richard
;
"
I
mean
a
good
range
of
experience
.
"
"
Very
requisite
,
no
doubt
,
"
returned
Mr
.
Kenge
.
"
I
think
this
may
be
easily
arranged
,
Mr
.
Jarndyce
?
We
have
only
,
in
the
first
place
,
to
discover
a
sufficiently
eligible
practitioner
;
and
as
soon
as
we
make
our
want
—
and
shall
I
add
,
our
ability
to
pay
a
premium
?
—
known
,
our
only
difficulty
will
be
in
the
selection
of
one
from
a
large
number
.
We
have
only
,
in
the
second
place
,
to
observe
those
little
formalities
which
are
rendered
necessary
by
our
time
of
life
and
our
being
under
the
guardianship
of
the
court
.
We
shall
soon
be
—
shall
I
say
,
in
Mr
.
Richard
’
s
own
light
-
hearted
manner
,
’
going
at
it
’
—
to
our
heart
’
s
content
.
It
is
a
coincidence
,
"
said
Mr
.
Kenge
with
a
tinge
of
melancholy
in
his
smile
,
"
one
of
those
coincidences
which
may
or
may
not
require
an
explanation
beyond
our
present
limited
faculties
,
that
I
have
a
cousin
in
the
medical
profession
.
He
might
be
deemed
eligible
by
you
and
might
be
disposed
to
respond
to
this
proposal
.
I
can
answer
for
him
as
little
as
for
you
,
but
he
MIGHT
!
"
As
this
was
an
opening
in
the
prospect
,
it
was
arranged
that
Mr
.
Kenge
should
see
his
cousin
.
And
as
Mr
.
Jarndyce
had
before
proposed
to
take
us
to
London
for
a
few
weeks
,
it
was
settled
next
day
that
we
should
make
our
visit
at
once
and
combine
Richard
’
s
business
with
it
.
Mr
.
Boythorn
leaving
us
within
a
week
,
we
took
up
our
abode
at
a
cheerful
lodging
near
Oxford
Street
over
an
upholsterer
’
s
shop
.
London
was
a
great
wonder
to
us
,
and
we
were
out
for
hours
and
hours
at
a
time
,
seeing
the
sights
,
which
appeared
to
be
less
capable
of
exhaustion
than
we
were
.
We
made
the
round
of
the
principal
theatres
,
too
,
with
great
delight
,
and
saw
all
the
plays
that
were
worth
seeing
.
I
mention
this
because
it
was
at
the
theatre
that
I
began
to
be
made
uncomfortable
again
by
Mr
.
Guppy
.
I
was
sitting
in
front
of
the
box
one
night
with
Ada
,
and
Richard
was
in
the
place
he
liked
best
,
behind
Ada
’
s
chair
,
when
,
happening
to
look
down
into
the
pit
,
I
saw
Mr
.
Guppy
,
with
his
hair
flattened
down
upon
his
head
and
woe
depicted
in
his
face
,
looking
up
at
me
.
I
felt
all
through
the
performance
that
he
never
looked
at
the
actors
but
constantly
looked
at
me
,
and
always
with
a
carefully
prepared
expression
of
the
deepest
misery
and
the
profoundest
dejection
.
It
quite
spoiled
my
pleasure
for
that
night
because
it
was
so
very
embarrassing
and
so
very
ridiculous
.
But
from
that
time
forth
,
we
never
went
to
the
play
without
my
seeing
Mr
.
Guppy
in
the
pit
,
always
with
his
hair
straight
and
flat
,
his
shirt
-
collar
turned
down
,
and
a
general
feebleness
about
him
.
If
he
were
not
there
when
we
went
in
,
and
I
began
to
hope
he
would
not
come
and
yielded
myself
for
a
little
while
to
the
interest
of
the
scene
,
I
was
certain
to
encounter
his
languishing
eyes
when
I
least
expected
it
and
,
from
that
time
,
to
be
quite
sure
that
they
were
fixed
upon
me
all
the
evening
.
I
really
cannot
express
how
uneasy
this
made
me
.
If
he
would
only
have
brushed
up
his
hair
or
turned
up
his
collar
,
it
would
have
been
bad
enough
;
but
to
know
that
that
absurd
figure
was
always
gazing
at
me
,
and
always
in
that
demonstrative
state
of
despondency
,
put
such
a
constraint
upon
me
that
I
did
not
like
to
laugh
at
the
play
,
or
to
cry
at
it
,
or
to
move
,
or
to
speak
.
I
seemed
able
to
do
nothing
naturally
.
As
to
escaping
Mr
.
Guppy
by
going
to
the
back
of
the
box
,
I
could
not
bear
to
do
that
because
I
knew
Richard
and
Ada
relied
on
having
me
next
them
and
that
they
could
never
have
talked
together
so
happily
if
anybody
else
had
been
in
my
place
.
So
there
I
sat
,
not
knowing
where
to
look
—
for
wherever
I
looked
,
I
knew
Mr
.
Guppy
’
s
eyes
were
following
me
—
and
thinking
of
the
dreadful
expense
to
which
this
young
man
was
putting
himself
on
my
account
.
Sometimes
I
thought
of
telling
Mr
.
Jarndyce
.
Then
I
feared
that
the
young
man
would
lose
his
situation
and
that
I
might
ruin
him
.
Sometimes
I
thought
of
confiding
in
Richard
,
but
was
deterred
by
the
possibility
of
his
fighting
Mr
.
Guppy
and
giving
him
black
eyes
.
Sometimes
I
thought
,
should
I
frown
at
him
or
shake
my
head
.
Then
I
felt
I
could
not
do
it
.
Sometimes
I
considered
whether
I
should
write
to
his
mother
,
but
that
ended
in
my
being
convinced
that
to
open
a
correspondence
would
be
to
make
the
matter
worse
.
I
always
came
to
the
conclusion
,
finally
,
that
I
could
do
nothing
.
Mr
.
Guppy
’
s
perseverance
,
all
this
time
,
not
only
produced
him
regularly
at
any
theatre
to
which
we
went
,
but
caused
him
to
appear
in
the
crowd
as
we
were
coming
out
,
and
even
to
get
up
behind
our
fly
—
where
I
am
sure
I
saw
him
,
two
or
three
times
,
struggling
among
the
most
dreadful
spikes
.
After
we
got
home
,
he
haunted
a
post
opposite
our
house
.
The
upholsterer
’
s
where
we
lodged
being
at
the
corner
of
two
streets
,
and
my
bedroom
window
being
opposite
the
post
,
I
was
afraid
to
go
near
the
window
when
I
went
upstairs
,
lest
I
should
see
him
(
as
I
did
one
moonlight
night
)
leaning
against
the
post
and
evidently
catching
cold
.
If
Mr
.
Guppy
had
not
been
,
fortunately
for
me
,
engaged
in
the
daytime
,
I
really
should
have
had
no
rest
from
him
.
While
we
were
making
this
round
of
gaieties
,
in
which
Mr
.
Guppy
so
extraordinarily
participated
,
the
business
which
had
helped
to
bring
us
to
town
was
not
neglected
.
Mr
.
Kenge
’
s
cousin
was
a
Mr
.
Bayham
Badger
,
who
had
a
good
practice
at
Chelsea
and
attended
a
large
public
institution
besides
.
He
was
quite
willing
to
receive
Richard
into
his
house
and
to
superintend
his
studies
,
and
as
it
seemed
that
those
could
be
pursued
advantageously
under
Mr
.
Badger
’
s
roof
,
and
Mr
.
Badger
liked
Richard
,
and
as
Richard
said
he
liked
Mr
.
Badger
"
well
enough
,
"
an
agreement
was
made
,
the
Lord
Chancellor
’
s
consent
was
obtained
,
and
it
was
all
settled
.
