Snagsby
,
"
and
I
find
it
sinking
to
the
spirits
.
"
"
By
George
!
I
find
it
gives
me
the
horrors
,
"
returns
Mr
.
Weevle
.
"
Then
,
you
see
,
you
live
in
a
lonesome
way
,
and
in
a
lonesome
room
,
with
a
black
circumstance
hanging
over
it
,
"
says
Mr
.
Snagsby
,
looking
in
past
the
other
s
shoulder
along
the
dark
passage
and
then
falling
back
a
step
to
look
up
at
the
house
.
"
I
couldn
t
live
in
that
room
alone
,
as
you
do
,
sir
.
I
should
get
so
fidgety
and
worried
of
an
evening
,
sometimes
,
that
I
should
be
driven
to
come
to
the
door
and
stand
here
sooner
than
sit
there
.
But
then
it
s
very
true
that
you
didn
t
see
,
in
your
room
,
what
I
saw
there
.
That
makes
a
difference
.
"
"
I
know
quite
enough
about
it
,
"
returns
Tony
.
"
It
s
not
agreeable
,
is
it
?
"
pursues
Mr
.
Snagsby
,
coughing
his
cough
of
mild
persuasion
behind
his
hand
.
"
Mr
.
Krook
ought
to
consider
it
in
the
rent
.
I
hope
he
does
,
I
am
sure
.
"
"
I
hope
he
does
,
"
says
Tony
.
"
But
I
doubt
it
.
"
"
You
find
the
rent
too
high
,
do
you
,
sir
?
"
returns
the
stationer
.
"
Rents
ARE
high
about
here
.
I
don
t
know
how
it
is
exactly
,
but
the
law
seems
to
put
things
up
in
price
.
Not
,
"
adds
Mr
.
Snagsby
with
his
apologetic
cough
,
"
that
I
mean
to
say
a
word
against
the
profession
I
get
my
living
by
.
"
Mr
.
Weevle
again
glances
up
and
down
the
court
and
then
looks
at
the
stationer
.
Mr
.
Snagsby
,
blankly
catching
his
eye
,
looks
upward
for
a
star
or
so
and
coughs
a
cough
expressive
of
not
exactly
seeing
his
way
out
of
this
conversation
.
"
It
s
a
curious
fact
,
sir
,
"
he
observes
,
slowly
rubbing
his
hands
,
"
that
he
should
have
been
"
"
Who
s
he
?
"
interrupts
Mr
.
Weevle
.
"
The
deceased
,
you
know
,
"
says
Mr
.
652
Snagsby
,
twitching
his
head
and
right
eyebrow
towards
the
staircase
and
tapping
his
acquaintance
on
the
button
.
"
Ah
,
to
be
sure
!
"
returns
the
other
as
if
he
were
not
over
-
fond
of
the
subject
.
"
I
thought
we
had
done
with
him
.
"
"
I
was
only
going
to
say
it
s
a
curious
fact
,
sir
,
that
he
should
have
come
and
lived
here
,
and
been
one
of
my
writers
,
and
then
that
you
should
come
and
live
here
,
and
be
one
of
my
writers
too
.
Which
there
is
nothing
derogatory
,
but
far
from
it
in
the
appellation
,
"
says
Mr
.
Snagsby
,
breaking
off
with
a
mistrust
that
he
may
have
unpolitely
asserted
a
kind
of
proprietorship
in
Mr
.
Weevle
,
"
because
I
have
known
writers
that
have
gone
into
brewers
houses
and
done
really
very
respectable
indeed
.
Eminently
respectable
,
sir
,
"
adds
Mr
.
Snagsby
with
a
misgiving
that
he
has
not
improved
the
matter
.
"
It
s
a
curious
coincidence
,
as
you
say
,
"
answers
Weevle
,
once
more
glancing
up
and
down
the
court
.
"
Seems
a
fate
in
it
,
don
t
there
?
"
suggests
the
stationer
.
"
There
does
.
"
"
Just
so
,
"
observes
the
stationer
with
his
confirmatory
cough
.
"
Quite
a
fate
in
it
.
Quite
a
fate
.
Well
,
Mr
.
Weevle
,
I
am
afraid
I
must
bid
you
good
night
"
Mr
.
Snagsby
speaks
as
if
it
made
him
desolate
to
go
,
though
he
has
been
casting
about
for
any
means
of
escape
ever
since
he
stopped
to
speak
"
my
little
woman
will
be
looking
for
me
else
.
Good
night
,
sir
!
"
If
Mr
.
Snagsby
hastens
home
to
save
his
little
woman
the
trouble
of
looking
for
him
,
he
might
set
his
mind
at
rest
on
that
score
.
653
His
little
woman
has
had
her
eye
upon
him
round
the
Sol
s
Arms
all
this
time
and
now
glides
after
him
with
a
pocket
handkerchief
wrapped
over
her
head
,
honouring
Mr
.
Weevle
and
his
doorway
with
a
searching
glance
as
she
goes
past
.
"
You
ll
know
me
again
,
ma
am
,
at
all
events
,
"
says
Mr
.
Weevle
to
himself
;
"
and
I
can
t
compliment
you
on
your
appearance
,
whoever
you
are
,
with
your
head
tied
up
in
a
bundle
.
Is
this
fellow
NEVER
coming
!
"
This
fellow
approaches
as
he
speaks
.
Mr
.
Weevle
softly
holds
up
his
finger
,
and
draws
him
into
the
passage
,
and
closes
the
street
door
.
Then
they
go
upstairs
,
Mr
.
Weevle
heavily
,
and
Mr
.
Guppy
(
for
it
is
he
)
very
lightly
indeed
.
When
they
are
shut
into
the
back
room
,
they
speak
low
.
"
I
thought
you
had
gone
to
Jericho
at
least
instead
of
coming
here
,
"
says
Tony
.
"
Why
,
I
said
about
ten
.
"
"
You
said
about
ten
,
"
Tony
repeats
.
"
Yes
,
so
you
did
say
about
ten
.
But
according
to
my
count
,
it
s
ten
times
ten
it
s
a
hundred
o
clock
.
I
never
had
such
a
night
in
my
life
!
"
"
What
has
been
the
matter
?
"
"
That
s
it
!
"
says
Tony
.
"
Nothing
has
been
the
matter
.
But
here
have
I
been
stewing
and
fuming
in
this
jolly
old
crib
till
I
have
had
the
horrors
falling
on
me
as
thick
as
hail
.
THERE
S
a
blessed
-
looking
candle
!
"
says
Tony
,
pointing
to
the
heavily
burning
taper
on
his
table
with
a
great
cabbage
head
and
a
long
winding
-
sheet
.
"
That
s
easily
improved
,
"
Mr
.
Guppy
observes
as
he
takes
the
snuffers
in
hand
.
"
IS
it
?
"
returns
his
friend
.
"
Not
so
easily
as
you
think
.
It
has
been
smouldering
like
that
ever
since
it
was
lighted
.
"
"
Why
,
what
s
the
matter
with
you
,
Tony
?
"
inquires
Mr
.

654
Guppy
,
looking
at
him
,
snuffers
in
hand
,
as
he
sits
down
with
his
elbow
on
the
table
.
"
William
Guppy
,
"
replies
the
other
,
"
I
am
in
the
downs
.
It
s
this
unbearably
dull
,
suicidal
room
and
old
Boguey
downstairs
,
I
suppose
.
"
Mr
.
Weevle
moodily
pushes
the
snuffers
-
tray
from
him
with
his
elbow
,
leans
his
head
on
his
hand
,
puts
his
feet
on
the
fender
,
and
looks
at
the
fire
.
Mr
.
Guppy
,
observing
him
,
slightly
tosses
his
head
and
sits
down
on
the
other
side
of
the
table
in
an
easy
attitude
.
"
Wasn
t
that
Snagsby
talking
to
you
,
Tony
?
"
"
Yes
,
and
he
yes
,
it
was
Snagsby
,
"
said
Mr
.
Weevle
,
altering
the
construction
of
his
sentence
.
"
On
business
?
"
"
No
.
No
business
.
He
was
only
sauntering
by
and
stopped
to
prose
.
"
"
I
thought
it
was
Snagsby
,
"
says
Mr
.
Guppy
,
"
and
thought
it
as
well
that
he
shouldn
t
see
me
,
so
I
waited
till
he
was
gone
.
"
"
There
we
go
again
,
William
G
.
!
"
cried
Tony
,
looking
up
for
an
instant
.
"
So
mysterious
and
secret
!
By
George
,
if
we
were
going
to
commit
a
murder
,
we
couldn
t
have
more
mystery
about
it
!
"
Mr
.
Guppy
affects
to
smile
,
and
with
the
view
of
changing
the
conversation
,
looks
with
an
admiration
,
real
or
pretended
,
round
the
room
at
the
Galaxy
Gallery
of
British
Beauty
,
terminating
his
survey
with
the
portrait
of
Lady
Dedlock
over
the
mantelshelf
,
in
which
she
is
represented
on
a
terrace
,
with
a
pedestal
upon
the
terrace
,
and
a
vase
upon
the
pedestal
,
and
her
shawl
upon
the
vase
,
and
a
prodigious
piece
of
fur
upon
the
shawl
,
and
her
arm
on
the
prodigious
piece
of
fur
,
and
a
bracelet
on
her
arm
.
"
That
s
very
like
Lady
Dedlock
,
"
says
Mr
.
Guppy
.
"
It
s
a
speaking
likeness
.
655
"
"
I
wish
it
was
,
"
growls
Tony
,
without
changing
his
position
.
"
I
should
have
some
fashionable
conversation
,
here
,
then
.
"
Finding
by
this
time
that
his
friend
is
not
to
be
wheedled
into
a
more
sociable
humour
,
Mr
.
Guppy
puts
about
upon
the
ill
-
used
tack
and
remonstrates
with
him
.
"
Tony
,
"
says
he
,
"
I
can
make
allowances
for
lowness
of
spirits
,
for
no
man
knows
what
it
is
when
it
does
come
upon
a
man
better
than
I
do
,
and
no
man
perhaps
has
a
better
right
to
know
it
than
a
man
who
has
an
unrequited
image
imprinted
on
his
eart
.
But
there
are
bounds
to
these
things
when
an
unoffending
party
is
in
question
,
and
I
will
acknowledge
to
you
,
Tony
,
that
I
don
t
think
your
manner
on
the
present
occasion
is
hospitable
or
quite
gentlemanly
.
"
"
This
is
strong
language
,
William
Guppy
,
"
returns
Mr
.
Weevle
.
"
Sir
,
it
may
be
,
"
retorts
Mr
.
William
Guppy
,
"
but
I
feel
strongly
when
I
use
it
.
"
Mr
.
Weevle
admits
that
he
has
been
wrong
and
begs
Mr
.
William
Guppy
to
think
no
more
about
it
.
Mr
.
William
Guppy
,
however
,
having
got
the
advantage
,
cannot
quite
release
it
without
a
little
more
injured
remonstrance
.
"
No
!
Dash
it
,
Tony
,
"
says
that
gentleman
,
"
you
really
ought
to
be
careful
how
you
wound
the
feelings
of
a
man
who
has
an
unrequited
image
imprinted
on
his
eart
and
who
is
NOT
altogether
happy
in
those
chords
which
vibrate
to
the
tenderest
emotions
.
You
,
Tony
,
possess
in
yourself
all
that
is
calculated
to
charm
the
eye
and
allure
the
taste
.
It
is
not
happily
for
you
,
perhaps
,
and
I
may
wish
that
I
could
say
the
same
it
is
not
your
character
to
hover
around
one
flower
.
656
The
ole
garden
is
open
to
you
,
and
your
airy
pinions
carry
you
through
it
.
Still
,
Tony
,
far
be
it
from
me
,
I
am
sure
,
to
wound
even
your
feelings
without
a
cause
!
"
Tony
again
entreats
that
the
subject
may
be
no
longer
pursued
,
saying
emphatically
,
"
William
Guppy
,
drop
it
!
"
Mr
.
Guppy
acquiesces
,
with
the
reply
,
"
I
never
should
have
taken
it
up
,
Tony
,
of
my
own
accord
.
"
"
And
now
,
"
says
Tony
,
stirring
the
fire
,
"
touching
this
same
bundle
of
letters
.
Isn
t
it
an
extraordinary
thing
of
Krook
to
have
appointed
twelve
o
clock
to
-
night
to
hand
em
over
to
me
?
"
"
Very
.
What
did
he
do
it
for
?
"
"
What
does
he
do
anything
for
?
HE
don
t
know
.
Said
to
-
day
was
his
birthday
and
he
d
hand
em
over
to
-
night
at
twelve
o
clock
.
He
ll
have
drunk
himself
blind
by
that
time
.
He
has
been
at
it
all
day
.
"
"
He
hasn
t
forgotten
the
appointment
,
I
hope
?
"
"
Forgotten
?
Trust
him
for
that
.
He
never
forgets
anything
.
I
saw
him
to
-
night
,
about
eight
helped
him
to
shut
up
his
shop
and
he
had
got
the
letters
then
in
his
hairy
cap
.
He
pulled
it
off
and
showed
em
me
.
When
the
shop
was
closed
,
he
took
them
out
of
his
cap
,
hung
his
cap
on
the
chair
-
back
,
and
stood
turning
them
over
before
the
fire
.
I
heard
him
a
little
while
afterwards
,
through
the
floor
here
,
humming
like
the
wind
,
the
only
song
he
knows
about
Bibo
,
and
old
Charon
,
and
Bibo
being
drunk
when
he
died
,
or
something
or
other
.
He
has
been
as
quiet
since
as
an
old
rat
asleep
in
his
hole
.
"
"
And
you
are
to
go
down
at
twelve
?
"
"
At
twelve
.
And
as
I
tell
you
,
when
you
came
it
seemed
to
me
a
hundred
.
"
"
Tony
,
"
says
Mr
.
657
Guppy
after
considering
a
little
with
his
legs
crossed
,
"
he
can
t
read
yet
,
can
he
?
"
"
Read
!
He
ll
never
read
.
He
can
make
all
the
letters
separately
,
and
he
knows
most
of
them
separately
when
he
sees
them
;
he
has
got
on
that
much
,
under
me
;
but
he
can
t
put
them
together
.
He
s
too
old
to
acquire
the
knack
of
it
now
and
too
drunk
.
"
"
Tony
,
"
says
Mr
.
Guppy
,
uncrossing
and
recrossing
his
legs
,
"
how
do
you
suppose
he
spelt
out
that
name
of
Hawdon
?
"
"
He
never
spelt
it
out
.
You
know
what
a
curious
power
of
eye
he
has
and
how
he
has
been
used
to
employ
himself
in
copying
things
by
eye
alone
.
He
imitated
it
,
evidently
from
the
direction
of
a
letter
,
and
asked
me
what
it
meant
.
"
"
Tony
,
"
says
Mr
.
Guppy
,
uncrossing
and
recrossing
his
legs
again
,
"
should
you
say
that
the
original
was
a
man
s
writing
or
a
woman
s
?
"
"
A
woman
s
.
Fifty
to
one
a
lady
s
slopes
a
good
deal
,
and
the
end
of
the
letter
n
,
long
and
hasty
.
"
Mr
.
Guppy
has
been
biting
his
thumb
-
nail
during
this
dialogue
,
generally
changing
the
thumb
when
he
has
changed
the
cross
leg
.
As
he
is
going
to
do
so
again
,
he
happens
to
look
at
his
coat
-
sleeve
.
It
takes
his
attention
.
He
stares
at
it
,
aghast
.
"
Why
,
Tony
,
what
on
earth
is
going
on
in
this
house
to
-
night
?
Is
there
a
chimney
on
fire
?
"
"
Chimney
on
fire
!
"
"
Ah
!
"
returns
Mr
.
Guppy
.
"
See
how
the
soot
s
falling
.
See
here
,
on
my
arm
!
See
again
,
on
the
table
here
!
Confound
the
stuff
,
it
won
t
blow
off
smears
like
black
fat
!
"
They
look
at
one
another
,
and
Tony
goes
listening
to
the
door
,
and
a
little
way
upstairs
,
and
a
little
way
downstairs
.

Comes
back
and
says
it
s
all
right
and
all
quiet
,
and
quotes
the
remark
he
lately
made
to
Mr
.
Snagsby
about
their
cooking
chops
at
the
Sol
s
Arms
.
"
And
it
was
then
,
"
resumes
Mr
.
Guppy
,
still
glancing
with
remarkable
aversion
at
the
coat
-
sleeve
,
as
they
pursue
their
conversation
before
the
fire
,
leaning
on
opposite
sides
of
the
table
,
with
their
heads
very
near
together
,
"
that
he
told
you
of
his
having
taken
the
bundle
of
letters
from
his
lodger
s
portmanteau
?
"
"
That
was
the
time
,
sir
,
"
answers
Tony
,
faintly
adjusting
his
whiskers
.
"
Whereupon
I
wrote
a
line
to
my
dear
boy
,
the
Honourable
William
Guppy
,
informing
him
of
the
appointment
for
to
-
night
and
advising
him
not
to
call
before
,
Boguey
being
a
slyboots
.
"
The
light
vivacious
tone
of
fashionable
life
which
is
usually
assumed
by
Mr
.
Weevle
sits
so
ill
upon
him
to
-
night
that
he
abandons
that
and
his
whiskers
together
,
and
after
looking
over
his
shoulder
,
appears
to
yield
himself
up
a
prey
to
the
horrors
again
.
"
You
are
to
bring
the
letters
to
your
room
to
read
and
compare
,
and
to
get
yourself
into
a
position
to
tell
him
all
about
them
.
That
s
the
arrangement
,
isn
t
it
,
Tony
?
"
asks
Mr
.
Guppy
,
anxiously
biting
his
thumb
-
nail
.
"
You
can
t
speak
too
low
.
Yes
.
That
s
what
he
and
I
agreed
.
"
"
I
tell
you
what
,
Tony
"
"
You
can
t
speak
too
low
,
"
says
Tony
once
more
.
Mr
.
Guppy
nods
his
sagacious
head
,
advances
it
yet
closer
,
and
drops
into
a
whisper
.
"
I
tell
you
what
.
The
first
thing
to
be
done
is
to
make
another
packet
like
the
real
one
so
that
if
he
should
ask
to
see
the
real
one
while
it
s
in
my
possession
,
you
can
show
him
the
dummy
.
659
"
"
And
suppose
he
detects
the
dummy
as
soon
as
he
sees
it
,
which
with
his
biting
screw
of
an
eye
is
about
five
hundred
times
more
likely
than
not
,
"
suggests
Tony
.
"
Then
we
ll
face
it
out
.
They
don
t
belong
to
him
,
and
they
never
did
.
You
found
that
,
and
you
placed
them
in
my
hands
a
legal
friend
of
yours
for
security
.
If
he
forces
us
to
it
,
they
ll
be
producible
,
won
t
they
?
"
"
Ye
-
es
,
"
is
Mr
.
Weevle
s
reluctant
admission
.
"
Why
,
Tony
,
"
remonstrates
his
friend
,
"
how
you
look
!
You
don
t
doubt
William
Guppy
?
You
don
t
suspect
any
harm
?
"
"
I
don
t
suspect
anything
more
than
I
know
,
William
,
"
returns
the
other
gravely
.
"
And
what
do
you
know
?
"
urges
Mr
.
Guppy
,
raising
his
voice
a
little
;
but
on
his
friend
s
once
more
warning
him
,
"
I
tell
you
,
you
can
t
speak
too
low
,
"
he
repeats
his
question
without
any
sound
at
all
,
forming
with
his
lips
only
the
words
,
"
What
do
you
know
?
"
"
I
know
three
things
.
First
,
I
know
that
here
we
are
whispering
in
secrecy
,
a
pair
of
conspirators
.
"
"
Well
!
"
says
Mr
.
Guppy
.
"
And
we
had
better
be
that
than
a
pair
of
noodles
,
which
we
should
be
if
we
were
doing
anything
else
,
for
it
s
the
only
way
of
doing
what
we
want
to
do
.
Secondly
?
"
"
Secondly
,
it
s
not
made
out
to
me
how
it
s
likely
to
be
profitable
,
after
all
.
"
Mr
.
Guppy
casts
up
his
eyes
at
the
portrait
of
Lady
Dedlock
over
the
mantelshelf
and
replies
,
"
Tony
,
you
are
asked
to
leave
that
to
the
honour
of
your
friend
.
Besides
its
being
calculated
to
serve
that
friend
in
those
chords
of
the
human
mind
which
which
need
not
be
called
into
agonizing
vibration
on
the
present
occasion
your
friend
is
no
fool
.
660
What
s
that
?
"
"
It
s
eleven
o
clock
striking
by
the
bell
of
Saint
Paul
s
.
Listen
and
you
ll
hear
all
the
bells
in
the
city
jangling
.
"
Both
sit
silent
,
listening
to
the
metal
voices
,
near
and
distant
,
resounding
from
towers
of
various
heights
,
in
tones
more
various
than
their
situations
.
When
these
at
length
cease
,
all
seems
more
mysterious
and
quiet
than
before
.
One
disagreeable
result
of
whispering
is
that
it
seems
to
evoke
an
atmosphere
of
silence
,
haunted
by
the
ghosts
of
sound
strange
cracks
and
tickings
,
the
rustling
of
garments
that
have
no
substance
in
them
,
and
the
tread
of
dreadful
feet
that
would
leave
no
mark
on
the
sea
-
sand
or
the
winter
snow
.
So
sensitive
the
two
friends
happen
to
be
that
the
air
is
full
of
these
phantoms
,
and
the
two
look
over
their
shoulders
by
one
consent
to
see
that
the
door
is
shut
.
"
Yes
,
Tony
?
"
says
Mr
.
Guppy
,
drawing
nearer
to
the
fire
and
biting
his
unsteady
thumb
-
nail
.
"
You
were
going
to
say
,
thirdly
?
"
"
It
s
far
from
a
pleasant
thing
to
be
plotting
about
a
dead
man
in
the
room
where
he
died
,
especially
when
you
happen
to
live
in
it
.
"
"
But
we
are
plotting
nothing
against
him
,
Tony
.
"
"
May
be
not
,
still
I
don
t
like
it
.
Live
here
by
yourself
and
see
how
YOU
like
it
.
"
"
As
to
dead
men
,
Tony
,
"
proceeds
Mr
.
Guppy
,
evading
this
proposal
,
"
there
have
been
dead
men
in
most
rooms
.
"
"
I
know
there
have
,
but
in
most
rooms
you
let
them
alone
,
and
and
they
let
you
alone
,
"
Tony
answers
.
The
two
look
at
each
other
again
.
Mr
.
Guppy
makes
a
hurried
remark
to
the
effect
that
they
may
be
doing
the
deceased
a
service
,
that
he
hopes
so
.
There
is
an
oppressive
blank
until
Mr
.
