Chairs
and
table
,
he
said
,
were
wearisome
objects
;
they
were
monotonous
ideas
,
they
had
no
variety
of
expression
,
they
looked
you
out
of
countenance
,
and
you
looked
them
out
of
countenance
.
How
pleasant
,
then
,
to
be
bound
to
no
particular
chairs
and
tables
,
but
to
sport
like
a
butterfly
among
all
the
furniture
on
hire
,
and
to
flit
from
rosewood
to
mahogany
,
and
from
mahogany
to
walnut
,
and
from
this
shape
to
that
,
as
the
humour
took
one
!
"
The
oddity
of
the
thing
is
,
"
said
Mr
.
Skimpole
with
a
quickened
sense
of
the
ludicrous
,
"
that
my
chairs
and
tables
were
not
paid
for
,
and
yet
my
landlord
walks
off
with
them
as
composedly
as
possible
.
Now
,
that
seems
droll
!
There
is
something
grotesque
in
it
.
The
chair
and
table
merchant
never
engaged
to
pay
my
landlord
my
rent
.
Why
should
my
landlord
quarrel
with
HIM
?
If
I
have
a
pimple
on
my
nose
which
is
disagreeable
to
my
landlord
’
s
peculiar
ideas
of
beauty
,
my
landlord
has
no
business
to
scratch
my
chair
and
table
merchant
’
s
nose
,
which
has
no
pimple
on
it
.
His
reasoning
seems
defective
!
"
"
Well
,
"
said
my
guardian
good
-
humouredly
,
"
it
’
s
pretty
clear
that
whoever
became
security
for
those
chairs
and
tables
will
have
to
pay
for
them
.
"
"
Exactly
!
"
returned
Mr
.
Skimpole
.
"
That
’
s
the
crowning
point
of
unreason
in
the
business
!
I
said
to
my
landlord
,
’
My
good
man
,
you
are
not
aware
that
my
excellent
friend
Jarndyce
will
have
to
pay
for
those
things
that
you
are
sweeping
off
in
that
indelicate
manner
.
Have
you
no
consideration
for
HIS
property
?
’
He
hadn
’
t
the
least
.
"
"
And
refused
all
proposals
,
"
said
my
guardian
.
"
Refused
all
proposals
,
"
returned
Mr
.
Skimpole
.
"
I
made
him
business
proposals
.
I
had
him
into
my
room
.
I
said
,
’
You
are
a
man
of
business
,
I
believe
?
’
He
replied
,
’
I
am
,
’
’
Very
well
,
’
said
I
,
’
now
let
us
be
business
-
like
.
Here
is
an
inkstand
,
here
are
pens
and
paper
,
here
are
wafers
.
What
do
you
want
?
I
have
occupied
your
house
for
a
considerable
period
,
I
believe
to
our
mutual
satisfaction
until
this
unpleasant
misunderstanding
arose
;
let
us
be
at
once
friendly
and
business
-
like
.
What
do
you
want
?
’
In
reply
to
this
,
he
made
use
of
the
figurative
expression
—
which
has
something
Eastern
about
it
—
that
he
had
never
seen
the
colour
of
my
money
.
’
My
amiable
friend
,
’
said
I
,
’
I
never
have
any
money
.
I
never
know
anything
about
money
.
’
’
Well
,
sir
,
’
said
he
,
’
what
do
you
offer
if
I
give
you
time
?
’
’
My
good
fellow
,
’
said
I
,
’
I
have
no
idea
of
time
;
but
you
say
you
are
a
man
of
business
,
and
whatever
you
can
suggest
to
be
done
in
a
business
-
like
way
with
pen
,
and
ink
,
and
paper
—
and
wafers
—
I
am
ready
to
do
.
Don
’
t
pay
yourself
at
another
man
’
s
expense
(
which
is
foolish
)
,
but
be
business
-
like
!
’
However
,
he
wouldn
’
t
be
,
and
there
was
an
end
of
it
.
"
If
these
were
some
of
the
inconveniences
of
Mr
.
Skimpole
’
s
childhood
,
it
assuredly
possessed
its
advantages
too
.
On
the
journey
he
had
a
very
good
appetite
for
such
refreshment
as
came
in
our
way
(
including
a
basket
of
choice
hothouse
peaches
)
,
but
never
thought
of
paying
for
anything
.
So
when
the
coachman
came
round
for
his
fee
,
he
pleasantly
asked
him
what
he
considered
a
very
good
fee
indeed
,
now
—
a
liberal
one
—
and
on
his
replying
half
a
crown
for
a
single
passenger
,
said
it
was
little
enough
too
,
all
things
considered
,
and
left
Mr
.
Jarndyce
to
give
it
him
.
It
was
delightful
weather
.
The
green
corn
waved
so
beautifully
,
the
larks
sang
so
joyfully
,
the
hedges
were
so
full
of
wild
flowers
,
the
trees
were
so
thickly
out
in
leaf
,
the
bean
-
fields
,
with
a
light
wind
blowing
over
them
,
filled
the
air
with
such
a
delicious
fragrance
!
Late
in
the
afternoon
we
came
to
the
market
-
town
where
we
were
to
alight
from
the
coach
—
a
dull
little
town
with
a
church
-
spire
,
and
a
marketplace
,
and
a
market
-
cross
,
and
one
intensely
sunny
street
,
and
a
pond
with
an
old
horse
cooling
his
legs
in
it
,
and
a
very
few
men
sleepily
lying
and
standing
about
in
narrow
little
bits
of
shade
.
After
the
rustling
of
the
leaves
and
the
waving
of
the
corn
all
along
the
road
,
it
looked
as
still
,
as
hot
,
as
motionless
a
little
town
as
England
could
produce
.
At
the
inn
we
found
Mr
.
Boythorn
on
horseback
,
waiting
with
an
open
carriage
to
take
us
to
his
house
,
which
was
a
few
miles
off
.
He
was
overjoyed
to
see
us
and
dismounted
with
great
alacrity
.
"
By
heaven
!
"
said
he
after
giving
us
a
courteous
greeting
.
"
This
a
most
infamous
coach
.
It
is
the
most
flagrant
example
of
an
abominable
public
vehicle
that
ever
encumbered
the
face
of
the
earth
.
It
is
twenty
-
five
minutes
after
its
time
this
afternoon
.
The
coachman
ought
to
be
put
to
death
!
"
"
IS
he
after
his
time
?
"
said
Mr
.
Skimpole
,
to
whom
he
happened
to
address
himself
.
"
You
know
my
infirmity
.
"
"
Twenty
-
five
minutes
!
Twenty
-
six
minutes
!
"
replied
Mr
.
Boythorn
,
referring
to
his
watch
.
"
With
two
ladies
in
the
coach
,
this
scoundrel
has
deliberately
delayed
his
arrival
six
and
twenty
minutes
.
Deliberately
!
It
is
impossible
that
it
can
be
accidental
!
But
his
father
—
and
his
uncle
—
were
the
most
profligate
coachmen
that
ever
sat
upon
a
box
.
"
While
he
said
this
in
tones
of
the
greatest
indignation
,
he
handed
us
into
the
little
phaeton
with
the
utmost
gentleness
and
was
all
smiles
and
pleasure
.
"
I
am
sorry
,
ladies
,
"
he
said
,
standing
bare
-
headed
at
the
carriage
-
door
when
all
was
ready
,
"
that
I
am
obliged
to
conduct
you
nearly
two
miles
out
of
the
way
.
But
our
direct
road
lies
through
Sir
Leicester
Dedlock
’
s
park
,
and
in
that
fellow
’
s
property
I
have
sworn
never
to
set
foot
of
mine
,
or
horse
’
s
foot
of
mine
,
pending
the
present
relations
between
us
,
while
I
breathe
the
breath
of
life
!
"
And
here
,
catching
my
guardian
’
s
eye
,
he
broke
into
one
of
his
tremendous
laughs
,
which
seemed
to
shake
even
the
motionless
little
market
-
town
.
"
Are
the
Dedlocks
down
here
,
Lawrence
?
"
said
my
guardian
as
we
drove
along
and
Mr
.
Boythorn
trotted
on
the
green
turf
by
the
roadside
.
"
Sir
Arrogant
Numskull
is
here
,
"
replied
Mr
.
Boythorn
.
"
Ha
ha
ha
!
Sir
Arrogant
is
here
,
and
I
am
glad
to
say
,
has
been
laid
by
the
heels
here
.
My
Lady
,
"
in
naming
whom
he
always
made
a
courtly
gesture
as
if
particularly
to
exclude
her
from
any
part
in
the
quarrel
,
"
is
expected
,
I
believe
,
daily
.
I
am
not
in
the
least
surprised
that
she
postpones
her
appearance
as
long
as
possible
.
Whatever
can
have
induced
that
transcendent
woman
to
marry
that
effigy
and
figure
-
head
of
a
baronet
is
one
of
the
most
impenetrable
mysteries
that
ever
baffled
human
inquiry
.
Ha
ha
ha
ha
!
"
"
I
suppose
,
"
said
my
guardian
,
laughing
,
"
WE
may
set
foot
in
the
park
while
we
are
here
?
The
prohibition
does
not
extend
to
us
,
does
it
?
"
"
I
can
lay
no
prohibition
on
my
guests
,
"
he
said
,
bending
his
head
to
Ada
and
me
with
the
smiling
politeness
which
sat
so
gracefully
upon
him
,
"
except
in
the
matter
of
their
departure
.
I
am
only
sorry
that
I
cannot
have
the
happiness
of
being
their
escort
about
Chesney
Wold
,
which
is
a
very
fine
place
!
But
by
the
light
of
this
summer
day
,
Jarndyce
,
if
you
call
upon
the
owner
while
you
stay
with
me
,
you
are
likely
to
have
but
a
cool
reception
.
He
carries
himself
like
an
eight
-
day
clock
at
all
times
,
like
one
of
a
race
of
eight
-
day
clocks
in
gorgeous
cases
that
never
go
and
never
went
—
Ha
ha
ha
!
—
but
he
will
have
some
extra
stiffness
,
I
can
promise
you
,
for
the
friends
of
his
friend
and
neighbour
Boythorn
!
"
"
I
shall
not
put
him
to
the
proof
,
"
said
my
guardian
.
"
He
is
as
indifferent
to
the
honour
of
knowing
me
,
I
dare
say
,
as
I
am
to
the
honour
of
knowing
him
.
The
air
of
the
grounds
and
perhaps
such
a
view
of
the
house
as
any
other
sightseer
might
get
are
quite
enough
for
me
.
"
"
Well
!
"
said
Mr
.
Boythorn
.
"
I
am
glad
of
it
on
the
whole
.
It
’
s
in
better
keeping
.
I
am
looked
upon
about
here
as
a
second
Ajax
defying
the
lightning
.
Ha
ha
ha
ha
!
When
I
go
into
our
little
church
on
a
Sunday
,
a
considerable
part
of
the
inconsiderable
congregation
expect
to
see
me
drop
,
scorched
and
withered
,
on
the
pavement
under
the
Dedlock
displeasure
.
Ha
ha
ha
ha
!
I
have
no
doubt
he
is
surprised
that
I
don
’
t
.
For
he
is
,
by
heaven
,
the
most
self
-
satisfied
,
and
the
shallowest
,
and
the
most
coxcombical
and
utterly
brainless
ass
!
"
Our
coming
to
the
ridge
of
a
hill
we
had
been
ascending
enabled
our
friend
to
point
out
Chesney
Wold
itself
to
us
and
diverted
his
attention
from
its
master
.
It
was
a
picturesque
old
house
in
a
fine
park
richly
wooded
.
Among
the
trees
and
not
far
from
the
residence
he
pointed
out
the
spire
of
the
little
church
of
which
he
had
spoken
.
Oh
,
the
solemn
woods
over
which
the
light
and
shadow
travelled
swiftly
,
as
if
heavenly
wings
were
sweeping
on
benignant
errands
through
the
summer
air
;
the
smooth
green
slopes
,
the
glittering
water
,
the
garden
where
the
flowers
were
so
symmetrically
arranged
in
clusters
of
the
richest
colours
,
how
beautiful
they
looked
!
The
house
,
with
gable
and
chimney
,
and
tower
,
and
turret
,
and
dark
doorway
,
and
broad
terrace
-
walk
,
twining
among
the
balustrades
of
which
,
and
lying
heaped
upon
the
vases
,
there
was
one
great
flush
of
roses
,
seemed
scarcely
real
in
its
light
solidity
and
in
the
serene
and
peaceful
hush
that
rested
on
all
around
it
.
To
Ada
and
to
me
,
that
above
all
appeared
the
pervading
influence
.
On
everything
,
house
,
garden
,
terrace
,
green
slopes
,
water
,
old
oaks
,
fern
,
moss
,
woods
again
,
and
far
away
across
the
openings
in
the
prospect
to
the
distance
lying
wide
before
us
with
a
purple
bloom
upon
it
,
there
seemed
to
be
such
undisturbed
repose
.
When
we
came
into
the
little
village
and
passed
a
small
inn
with
the
sign
of
the
Dedlock
Arms
swinging
over
the
road
in
front
,
Mr
.
Boythorn
interchanged
greetings
with
a
young
gentleman
sitting
on
a
bench
outside
the
inn
-
door
who
had
some
fishing
-
tackle
lying
beside
him
.
"
That
’
s
the
housekeeper
’
s
grandson
,
Mr
.
Rouncewell
by
name
,
"
said
,
he
,
"
and
he
is
in
love
with
a
pretty
girl
up
at
the
house
.
Lady
Dedlock
has
taken
a
fancy
to
the
pretty
girl
and
is
going
to
keep
her
about
her
own
fair
person
—
an
honour
which
my
young
friend
himself
does
not
at
all
appreciate
.
However
,
he
can
’
t
marry
just
yet
,
even
if
his
Rosebud
were
willing
;
so
he
is
fain
to
make
the
best
of
it
.
In
the
meanwhile
,
he
comes
here
pretty
often
for
a
day
or
two
at
a
time
to
—
fish
.
Ha
ha
ha
ha
!
"
"
Are
he
and
the
pretty
girl
engaged
,
Mr
.
Boythorn
?
"
asked
Ada
.
"
Why
,
my
dear
Miss
Clare
,
"
he
returned
,
"
I
think
they
may
perhaps
understand
each
other
;
but
you
will
see
them
soon
,
I
dare
say
,
and
I
must
learn
from
you
on
such
a
point
—
not
you
from
me
.
"
Ada
blushed
,
and
Mr
.
Boythorn
,
trotting
forward
on
his
comely
grey
horse
,
dismounted
at
his
own
door
and
stood
ready
with
extended
arm
and
uncovered
head
to
welcome
us
when
we
arrived
.
He
lived
in
a
pretty
house
,
formerly
the
parsonage
house
,
with
a
lawn
in
front
,
a
bright
flower
-
garden
at
the
side
,
and
a
well
-
stocked
orchard
and
kitchen
-
garden
in
the
rear
,
enclosed
with
a
venerable
wall
that
had
of
itself
a
ripened
ruddy
look
.
But
,
indeed
,
everything
about
the
place
wore
an
aspect
of
maturity
and
abundance
.
The
old
lime
-
tree
walk
was
like
green
cloisters
,
the
very
shadows
of
the
cherry
-
trees
and
apple
-
trees
were
heavy
with
fruit
,
the
gooseberry
-
bushes
were
so
laden
that
their
branches
arched
and
rested
on
the
earth
,
the
strawberries
and
raspberries
grew
in
like
profusion
,
and
the
peaches
basked
by
the
hundred
on
the
wall
.
Tumbled
about
among
the
spread
nets
and
the
glass
frames
sparkling
and
winking
in
the
sun
there
were
such
heaps
of
drooping
pods
,
and
marrows
,
and
cucumbers
,
that
every
foot
of
ground
appeared
a
vegetable
treasury
,
while
the
smell
of
sweet
herbs
and
all
kinds
of
wholesome
growth
(
to
say
nothing
of
the
neighbouring
meadows
where
the
hay
was
carrying
)
made
the
whole
air
a
great
nosegay
.
Such
stillness
and
composure
reigned
within
the
orderly
precincts
of
the
old
red
wall
that
even
the
feathers
hung
in
garlands
to
scare
the
birds
hardly
stirred
;
and
the
wall
had
such
a
ripening
influence
that
where
,
here
and
there
high
up
,
a
disused
nail
and
scrap
of
list
still
clung
to
it
,
it
was
easy
to
fancy
that
they
had
mellowed
with
the
changing
seasons
and
that
they
had
rusted
and
decayed
according
to
the
common
fate
.
The
house
,
though
a
little
disorderly
in
comparison
with
the
garden
,
was
a
real
old
house
with
settles
in
the
chimney
of
the
brick
-
floored
kitchen
and
great
beams
across
the
ceilings
.
On
one
side
of
it
was
the
terrible
piece
of
ground
in
dispute
,
where
Mr
.
Boythorn
maintained
a
sentry
in
a
smock
-
frock
day
and
night
,
whose
duty
was
supposed
to
be
,
in
cases
of
aggression
,
immediately
to
ring
a
large
bell
hung
up
there
for
the
purpose
,
to
unchain
a
great
bull
-
dog
established
in
a
kennel
as
his
ally
,
and
generally
to
deal
destruction
on
the
enemy
.
Not
content
with
these
precautions
,
Mr
.
Boythorn
had
himself
composed
and
posted
there
,
on
painted
boards
to
which
his
name
was
attached
in
large
letters
,
the
following
solemn
warnings
:
"
Beware
of
the
bull
-
dog
.
He
is
most
ferocious
.
Lawrence
Boythorn
.
"
"
The
blunderbus
is
loaded
with
slugs
.
Lawrence
Boythorn
.
"
"
Man
-
traps
and
spring
-
guns
are
set
here
at
all
times
of
the
day
and
night
.
Lawrence
Boythorn
.
"
"
Take
notice
.
That
any
person
or
persons
audaciously
presuming
to
trespass
on
this
property
will
be
punished
with
the
utmost
severity
of
private
chastisement
and
prosecuted
with
the
utmost
rigour
of
the
law
.
Lawrence
Boythorn
.
"
These
he
showed
us
from
the
drawing
-
room
window
,
while
his
bird
was
hopping
about
his
head
,
and
he
laughed
,
"
Ha
ha
ha
ha
!
Ha
ha
ha
ha
!
"
to
that
extent
as
he
pointed
them
out
that
I
really
thought
he
would
have
hurt
himself
.
"
But
this
is
taking
a
good
deal
of
trouble
,
"
said
Mr
.
Skimpole
in
his
light
way
,
"
when
you
are
not
in
earnest
after
all
.
"
"
Not
in
earnest
!
"
returned
Mr
.
Boythorn
with
unspeakable
warmth
.
"
Not
in
earnest
!
If
I
could
have
hoped
to
train
him
,
I
would
have
bought
a
lion
instead
of
that
dog
and
would
have
turned
him
loose
upon
the
first
intolerable
robber
who
should
dare
to
make
an
encroachment
on
my
rights
.
Let
Sir
Leicester
Dedlock
consent
to
come
out
and
decide
this
question
by
single
combat
,
and
I
will
meet
him
with
any
weapon
known
to
mankind
in
any
age
or
country
.
I
am
that
much
in
earnest
.
Not
more
!
"
We
arrived
at
his
house
on
a
Saturday
.
On
the
Sunday
morning
we
all
set
forth
to
walk
to
the
little
church
in
the
park
.
Entering
the
park
,
almost
immediately
by
the
disputed
ground
,
we
pursued
a
pleasant
footpath
winding
among
the
verdant
turf
and
the
beautiful
trees
until
it
brought
us
to
the
church
-
porch
.
The
congregation
was
extremely
small
and
quite
a
rustic
one
with
the
exception
of
a
large
muster
of
servants
from
the
house
,
some
of
whom
were
already
in
their
seats
,
while
others
were
yet
dropping
in
.
There
were
some
stately
footmen
,
and
there
was
a
perfect
picture
of
an
old
coachman
,
who
looked
as
if
he
were
the
official
representative
of
all
the
pomps
and
vanities
that
had
ever
been
put
into
his
coach
.
There
was
a
very
pretty
show
of
young
women
,
and
above
them
,
the
handsome
old
face
and
fine
responsible
portly
figure
of
the
housekeeper
towered
pre
-
eminent
.
The
pretty
girl
of
whom
Mr
.
Boythorn
had
told
us
was
close
by
her
.
She
was
so
very
pretty
that
I
might
have
known
her
by
her
beauty
even
if
I
had
not
seen
how
blushingly
conscious
she
was
of
the
eyes
of
the
young
fisherman
,
whom
I
discovered
not
far
off
.
