Is
it
of
course
?
"
"
My
dear
child
,
certainly
.
I
can
’
t
throw
myself
into
an
object
so
completely
without
expense
.
You
forget
,
or
perhaps
you
don
’
t
know
,
that
under
either
of
the
wills
Ada
and
I
take
something
.
It
’
s
only
a
question
between
the
larger
sum
and
the
smaller
.
I
shall
be
within
the
mark
any
way
.
Bless
your
heart
,
my
excellent
girl
,
"
said
Richard
,
quite
amused
with
me
,
"
I
shall
be
all
right
!
I
shall
pull
through
,
my
dear
!
"
I
felt
so
deeply
sensible
of
the
danger
in
which
he
stood
that
I
tried
,
in
Ada
’
s
name
,
in
my
guardian
’
s
,
in
my
own
,
by
every
fervent
means
that
I
could
think
of
,
to
warn
him
of
it
and
to
show
him
some
of
his
mistakes
.
He
received
everything
I
said
with
patience
and
gentleness
,
but
it
all
rebounded
from
him
without
taking
the
least
effect
.
I
could
not
wonder
at
this
after
the
reception
his
preoccupied
mind
had
given
to
my
guardian
’
s
letter
,
but
I
determined
to
try
Ada
’
s
influence
yet
.
So
when
our
walk
brought
us
round
to
the
village
again
,
and
I
went
home
to
breakfast
,
I
prepared
Ada
for
the
account
I
was
going
to
give
her
and
told
her
exactly
what
reason
we
had
to
dread
that
Richard
was
losing
himself
and
scattering
his
whole
life
to
the
winds
.
It
made
her
very
unhappy
,
of
course
,
though
she
had
a
far
,
far
greater
reliance
on
his
correcting
his
errors
than
I
could
have
—
which
was
so
natural
and
loving
in
my
dear
!
—
and
she
presently
wrote
him
this
little
letter
:
My
dearest
cousin
,
Esther
has
told
me
all
you
said
to
her
this
morning
.
I
write
this
to
repeat
most
earnestly
for
myself
all
that
she
said
to
you
and
to
let
you
know
how
sure
I
am
that
you
will
sooner
or
later
find
our
cousin
John
a
pattern
of
truth
,
sincerity
,
and
goodness
,
when
you
will
deeply
,
deeply
grieve
to
have
done
him
(
without
intending
it
)
so
much
wrong
.
I
do
not
quite
know
how
to
write
what
I
wish
to
say
next
,
but
I
trust
you
will
understand
it
as
I
mean
it
.
I
have
some
fears
,
my
dearest
cousin
,
that
it
may
be
partly
for
my
sake
you
are
now
laying
up
so
much
unhappiness
for
yourself
—
and
if
for
yourself
,
for
me
.
In
case
this
should
be
so
,
or
in
case
you
should
entertain
much
thought
of
me
in
what
you
are
doing
,
I
most
earnestly
entreat
and
beg
you
to
desist
.
You
can
do
nothing
for
my
sake
that
will
make
me
half
so
happy
as
for
ever
turning
your
back
upon
the
shadow
in
which
we
both
were
born
.
Do
not
be
angry
with
me
for
saying
this
.
Pray
,
pray
,
dear
Richard
,
for
my
sake
,
and
for
your
own
,
and
in
a
natural
repugnance
for
that
source
of
trouble
which
had
its
share
in
making
us
both
orphans
when
we
were
very
young
,
pray
,
pray
,
let
it
go
for
ever
.
We
have
reason
to
know
by
this
time
that
there
is
no
good
in
it
and
no
hope
,
that
there
is
nothing
to
be
got
from
it
but
sorrow
.
My
dearest
cousin
,
it
is
needless
for
me
to
say
that
you
are
quite
free
and
that
it
is
very
likely
you
may
find
some
one
whom
you
will
love
much
better
than
your
first
fancy
.
I
am
quite
sure
,
if
you
will
let
me
say
so
,
that
the
object
of
your
choice
would
greatly
prefer
to
follow
your
fortunes
far
and
wide
,
however
moderate
or
poor
,
and
see
you
happy
,
doing
your
duty
and
pursuing
your
chosen
way
,
than
to
have
the
hope
of
being
,
or
even
to
be
,
very
rich
with
you
(
if
such
a
thing
were
possible
)
at
the
cost
of
dragging
years
of
procrastination
and
anxiety
and
of
your
indifference
to
other
aims
.
You
may
wonder
at
my
saying
this
so
confidently
with
so
little
knowledge
or
experience
,
but
I
know
it
for
a
certainty
from
my
own
heart
.
Ever
,
my
dearest
cousin
,
your
most
affectionateAdaThis
note
brought
Richard
to
us
very
soon
,
but
it
made
little
change
in
him
if
any
.
We
would
fairly
try
,
he
said
,
who
was
right
and
who
was
wrong
—
he
would
show
us
—
we
should
see
!
He
was
animated
and
glowing
,
as
if
Ada
’
s
tenderness
had
gratified
him
;
but
I
could
only
hope
,
with
a
sigh
,
that
the
letter
might
have
some
stronger
effect
upon
his
mind
on
re
-
perusal
than
it
assuredly
had
then
.
As
they
were
to
remain
with
us
that
day
and
had
taken
their
places
to
return
by
the
coach
next
morning
,
I
sought
an
opportunity
of
speaking
to
Mr
.
Skimpole
.
Our
out
-
of
-
door
life
easily
threw
one
in
my
way
,
and
I
delicately
said
that
there
was
a
responsibility
in
encouraging
Richard
.
"
Responsibility
,
my
dear
Miss
Summerson
?
"
he
repeated
,
catching
at
the
word
with
the
pleasantest
smile
.
"
I
am
the
last
man
in
the
world
for
such
a
thing
.
I
never
was
responsible
in
my
life
—
I
can
’
t
be
.
"
"
I
am
afraid
everybody
is
obliged
to
be
,
"
said
I
timidly
enough
,
he
being
so
much
older
and
more
clever
than
I
.
"
No
,
really
?
"
said
Mr
.
Skimpole
,
receiving
this
new
light
with
a
most
agreeable
jocularity
of
surprise
.
"
But
every
man
’
s
not
obliged
to
be
solvent
?
I
am
not
.
I
never
was
.
See
,
my
dear
Miss
Summerson
,
"
he
took
a
handful
of
loose
silver
and
halfpence
from
his
pocket
,
"
there
’
s
so
much
money
.
I
have
not
an
idea
how
much
.
I
have
not
the
power
of
counting
.
Call
it
four
and
ninepence
—
call
it
four
pound
nine
.
They
tell
me
I
owe
more
than
that
.
I
dare
say
I
do
.
I
dare
say
I
owe
as
much
as
good
-
natured
people
will
let
me
owe
.
If
they
don
’
t
stop
,
why
should
I
?
There
you
have
Harold
Skimpole
in
little
.
If
that
’
s
responsibility
,
I
am
responsible
.
"
The
perfect
ease
of
manner
with
which
he
put
the
money
up
again
and
looked
at
me
with
a
smile
on
his
refined
face
,
as
if
he
had
been
mentioning
a
curious
little
fact
about
somebody
else
,
almost
made
me
feel
as
if
he
really
had
nothing
to
do
with
it
.
"
Now
,
when
you
mention
responsibility
,
"
he
resumed
,
"
I
am
disposed
to
say
that
I
never
had
the
happiness
of
knowing
any
one
whom
I
should
consider
so
refreshingly
responsible
as
yourself
.
You
appear
to
me
to
be
the
very
touchstone
of
responsibility
.
When
I
see
you
,
my
dear
Miss
Summerson
,
intent
upon
the
perfect
working
of
the
whole
little
orderly
system
of
which
you
are
the
centre
,
I
feel
inclined
to
say
to
myself
—
in
fact
I
do
say
to
myself
very
often
—
THAT
’
S
responsibility
!
"
It
was
difficult
,
after
this
,
to
explain
what
I
meant
;
but
I
persisted
so
far
as
to
say
that
we
all
hoped
he
would
check
and
not
confirm
Richard
in
the
sanguine
views
he
entertained
just
then
.
"
Most
willingly
,
"
he
retorted
,
"
if
I
could
.
But
,
my
dear
Miss
Summerson
,
I
have
no
art
,
no
disguise
.
If
he
takes
me
by
the
hand
and
leads
me
through
Westminster
Hall
in
an
airy
procession
after
fortune
,
I
must
go
.
If
he
says
,
’
Skimpole
,
join
the
dance
!
’
I
must
join
it
.
Common
sense
wouldn
’
t
,
I
know
,
but
I
have
NO
common
sense
.
"
It
was
very
unfortunate
for
Richard
,
I
said
.
"
Do
you
think
so
!
"
returned
Mr
.
Skimpole
.
"
Don
’
t
say
that
,
don
’
t
say
that
.
Let
us
suppose
him
keeping
company
with
Common
Sense
—
an
excellent
man
—
a
good
deal
wrinkled
—
dreadfully
practical
—
change
for
a
ten
-
pound
note
in
every
pocket
—
ruled
account
-
book
in
his
hand
—
say
,
upon
the
whole
,
resembling
a
tax
-
gatherer
.
Our
dear
Richard
,
sanguine
,
ardent
,
overleaping
obstacles
,
bursting
with
poetry
like
a
young
bud
,
says
to
this
highly
respectable
companion
,
’
I
see
a
golden
prospect
before
me
;
it
’
s
very
bright
,
it
’
s
very
beautiful
,
it
’
s
very
joyous
;
here
I
go
,
bounding
over
the
landscape
to
come
at
it
!
’
The
respectable
companion
instantly
knocks
him
down
with
the
ruled
account
-
book
;
tells
him
in
a
literal
,
prosaic
way
that
he
sees
no
such
thing
;
shows
him
it
’
s
nothing
but
fees
,
fraud
,
horsehair
wigs
,
and
black
gowns
.
Now
you
know
that
’
s
a
painful
change
—
sensible
in
the
last
degree
,
I
have
no
doubt
,
but
disagreeable
.
I
can
’
t
do
it
.
I
haven
’
t
got
the
ruled
account
-
book
,
I
have
none
of
the
tax
-
gathering
elements
in
my
composition
,
I
am
not
at
all
respectable
,
and
I
don
’
t
want
to
be
.
Odd
perhaps
,
but
so
it
is
!
"
It
was
idle
to
say
more
,
so
I
proposed
that
we
should
join
Ada
and
Richard
,
who
were
a
little
in
advance
,
and
I
gave
up
Mr
.
Skimpole
in
despair
.
He
had
been
over
the
Hall
in
the
course
of
the
morning
and
whimsically
described
the
family
pictures
as
we
walked
.
There
were
such
portentous
shepherdesses
among
the
Ladies
Dedlock
dead
and
gone
,
he
told
us
,
that
peaceful
crooks
became
weapons
of
assault
in
their
hands
.
They
tended
their
flocks
severely
in
buckram
and
powder
and
put
their
sticking
-
plaster
patches
on
to
terrify
commoners
as
the
chiefs
of
some
other
tribes
put
on
their
war
-
paint
.
There
was
a
Sir
Somebody
Dedlock
,
with
a
battle
,
a
sprung
-
mine
,
volumes
of
smoke
,
flashes
of
lightning
,
a
town
on
fire
,
and
a
stormed
fort
,
all
in
full
action
between
his
horse
’
s
two
hind
legs
,
showing
,
he
supposed
,
how
little
a
Dedlock
made
of
such
trifles
.
The
whole
race
he
represented
as
having
evidently
been
,
in
life
,
what
he
called
"
stuffed
people
"
—
a
large
collection
,
glassy
eyed
,
set
up
in
the
most
approved
manner
on
their
various
twigs
and
perches
,
very
correct
,
perfectly
free
from
animation
,
and
always
in
glass
cases
.
I
was
not
so
easy
now
during
any
reference
to
the
name
but
that
I
felt
it
a
relief
when
Richard
,
with
an
exclamation
of
surprise
,
hurried
away
to
meet
a
stranger
whom
he
first
descried
coming
slowly
towards
us
.
"
Dear
me
!
"
said
Mr
.
Skimpole
.
"
Vholes
!
"
We
asked
if
that
were
a
friend
of
Richard
’
s
.
"
Friend
and
legal
adviser
,
"
said
Mr
.
Skimpole
.
"
Now
,
my
dear
Miss
Summerson
,
if
you
want
common
sense
,
responsibility
,
and
respectability
,
all
united
—
if
you
want
an
exemplary
man
—
Vholes
is
THE
man
.
"
We
had
not
known
,
we
said
,
that
Richard
was
assisted
by
any
gentleman
of
that
name
.
"
When
he
emerged
from
legal
infancy
,
"
returned
Mr
.
Skimpole
,
"
he
parted
from
our
conversational
friend
Kenge
and
took
up
,
I
believe
,
with
Vholes
.
Indeed
,
I
know
he
did
,
because
I
introduced
him
to
Vholes
.
"
"
Had
you
known
him
long
?
"
asked
Ada
.
"
Vholes
?
My
dear
Miss
Clare
,
I
had
had
that
kind
of
acquaintance
with
him
which
I
have
had
with
several
gentlemen
of
his
profession
.
He
had
done
something
or
other
in
a
very
agreeable
,
civil
manner
—
taken
proceedings
,
I
think
,
is
the
expression
—
which
ended
in
the
proceeding
of
his
taking
ME
.
Somebody
was
so
good
as
to
step
in
and
pay
the
money
—
something
and
fourpence
was
the
amount
;
I
forget
the
pounds
and
shillings
,
but
I
know
it
ended
with
fourpence
,
because
it
struck
me
at
the
time
as
being
so
odd
that
I
could
owe
anybody
fourpence
—
and
after
that
I
brought
them
together
.
Vholes
asked
me
for
the
introduction
,
and
I
gave
it
.
Now
I
come
to
think
of
it
,
"
he
looked
inquiringly
at
us
with
his
frankest
smile
as
he
made
the
discovery
,
"
Vholes
bribed
me
,
perhaps
?
He
gave
me
something
and
called
it
commission
.
Was
it
a
five
-
pound
note
?
Do
you
know
,
I
think
it
MUST
have
been
a
five
-
pound
note
!
"
His
further
consideration
of
the
point
was
prevented
by
Richard
’
s
coming
back
to
us
in
an
excited
state
and
hastily
representing
Mr
.
Vholes
—
a
sallow
man
with
pinched
lips
that
looked
as
if
they
were
cold
,
a
red
eruption
here
and
there
upon
his
face
,
tall
and
thin
,
about
fifty
years
of
age
,
high
-
shouldered
,
and
stooping
.
Dressed
in
black
,
black
-
gloved
,
and
buttoned
to
the
chin
,
there
was
nothing
so
remarkable
in
him
as
a
lifeless
manner
and
a
slow
,
fixed
way
he
had
of
looking
at
Richard
.
"
I
hope
I
don
’
t
disturb
you
,
ladies
,
"
said
Mr
.
Vholes
,
and
now
I
observed
that
he
was
further
remarkable
for
an
inward
manner
of
speaking
.
"
I
arranged
with
Mr
.
Carstone
that
he
should
always
know
when
his
cause
was
in
the
Chancellor
’
s
paper
,
and
being
informed
by
one
of
my
clerks
last
night
after
post
time
that
it
stood
,
rather
unexpectedly
,
in
the
paper
for
to
-
morrow
,
I
put
myself
into
the
coach
early
this
morning
and
came
down
to
confer
with
him
.
"
"
Yes
,
"
said
Richard
,
flushed
,
and
looking
triumphantly
at
Ada
and
me
,
"
we
don
’
t
do
these
things
in
the
old
slow
way
now
.
We
spin
along
now
!
Mr
.
Vholes
,
we
must
hire
something
to
get
over
to
the
post
town
in
,
and
catch
the
mail
to
-
night
,
and
go
up
by
it
!
"
"
Anything
you
please
,
sir
,
"
returned
Mr
.
Vholes
.
"
I
am
quite
at
your

"
Let
me
see
,
"
said
Richard
,
looking
at
his
watch
.
"
If
I
run
down
to
the
Dedlock
,
and
get
my
portmanteau
fastened
up
,
and
order
a
gig
,
or
a
chaise
,
or
whatever
’
s
to
be
got
,
we
shall
have
an
hour
then
before
starting
.
I
’
ll
come
back
to
tea
.
Cousin
Ada
,
will
you
and
Esther
take
care
of
Mr
.
Vholes
when
I
am
gone
?
"
He
was
away
directly
,
in
his
heat
and
hurry
,
and
was
soon
lost
in
the
dusk
of
evening
.
We
who
were
left
walked
on
towards
the
house
.
"
Is
Mr
.
Carstone
’
s
presence
necessary
to
-
morrow
,
Sir
?
"
said
I
.
"
Can
it
do
any
good
?
"
"
No
,
miss
,
"
Mr
.
Vholes
replied
.
"
I
am
not
aware
that
it
can
.
"
Both
Ada
and
I
expressed
our
regret
that
he
should
go
,
then
,
only
to
be
disappointed
.
"
Mr
.
Carstone
has
laid
down
the
principle
of
watching
his
own
interests
,
"
said
Mr
.
Vholes
,
"
and
when
a
client
lays
down
his
own
principle
,
and
it
is
not
immoral
,
it
devolves
upon
me
to
carry
it
out
.
I
wish
in
business
to
be
exact
and
open
.
I
am
a
widower
with
three
daughters
—
Emma
,
Jane
,
and
Caroline
—
and
my
desire
is
so
to
discharge
the
duties
of
life
as
to
leave
them
a
good
name
.
This
appears
to
be
a
pleasant
spot
,
miss
.
"
The
remark
being
made
to
me
in
consequence
of
my
being
next
him
as
we
walked
,
I
assented
and
enumerated
its
chief
attractions
.
"
Indeed
?
"
said
Mr
.
Vholes
.
"
I
have
the
privilege
of
supporting
an
aged
father
in
the
Vale
of
Taunton
—
his
native
place
—
and
I
admire
that
country
very
much
.
I
had
no
idea
there
was
anything
so
attractive
here
.
"
To
keep
up
the
conversation
,
I
asked
Mr
.
Vholes
if
he
would
like
to
live
altogether
in
the
country
.
"
There
,
miss
,
"
said
he
,
"
you
touch
me
on
a
tender
string
.
My
health
is
not
good
(
my
digestion
being
much
impaired
)
,
and
if
I
had
only
myself
to
consider
,
I
should
take
refuge
in
rural
habits
,
especially
as
the
cares
of
business
have
prevented
me
from
ever
coming
much
into
contact
with
general
society
,
and
particularly
with
ladies
’
society
,
which
I
have
most
wished
to
mix
in
.
But
with
my
three
daughters
,
Emma
,
Jane
,
and
Caroline
—
and
my
aged
father
—
I
cannot
afford
to
be
selfish
.
It
is
true
I
have
no
longer
to
maintain
a
dear
grandmother
who
died
in
her
hundred
and
second
year
,
but
enough
remains
to
render
it
indispensable
that
the
mill
should
be
always
going
.
"
It
required
some
attention
to
hear
him
on
account
of
his
inward
speaking
and
his
lifeless
manner
.
"
You
will
excuse
my
having
mentioned
my
daughters
,
"
he
said
.
"
They
are
my
weak
point
.
I
wish
to
leave
the
poor
girls
some
little
independence
,
as
well
as
a
good
name
.
"
We
now
arrived
at
Mr
.
Boythorn
’
s
house
,
where
the
tea
-
table
,
all
prepared
,
was
awaiting
us
.
Richard
came
in
restless
and
hurried
shortly
afterwards
,
and
leaning
over
Mr
.
Vholes
’
s
chair
,
whispered
something
in
his
ear
.
Mr
.
Vholes
replied
aloud
—
or
as
nearly
aloud
I
suppose
as
he
had
ever
replied
to
anything
—
"
You
will
drive
me
,
will
you
,
sir
?
It
is
all
the
same
to
me
,
sir
.
Anything
you
please
.
I
am
quite
at
your
service
.
"
We
understood
from
what
followed
that
Mr
.
Skimpole
was
to
be
left
until
the
morning
to
occupy
the
two
places
which
had
been
already
paid
for
.
As
Ada
and
I
were
both
in
low
spirits
concerning
Richard
and
very
sorry
so
to
part
with
him
,
we
made
it
as
plain
as
we
politely
could
that
we
should
leave
Mr
.
Skimpole
to
the
Dedlock
Arms
and
retire
when
the
night
-
travellers
were
gone
.
Richard
’
s
high
spirits
carrying
everything
before
them
,
we
all
went
out
together
to
the
top
of
the
hill
above
the
village
,
where
he
had
ordered
a
gig
to
wait
and
where
we
found
a
man
with
a
lantern
standing
at
the
head
of
the
gaunt
pale
horse
that
had
been
harnessed
to
it
.
I
never
shall
forget
those
two
seated
side
by
side
in
the
lantern
’
s
light
,
Richard
all
flush
and
fire
and
laughter
,
with
the
reins
in
his
hand
;
Mr
.
Vholes
quite
still
,
black
-
gloved
,
and
buttoned
up
,
looking
at
him
as
if
he
were
looking
at
his
prey
and
charming
it
.
I
have
before
me
the
whole
picture
of
the
warm
dark
night
,
the
summer
lightning
,
the
dusty
track
of
road
closed
in
by
hedgerows
and
high
trees
,
the
gaunt
pale
horse
with
his
ears
pricked
up
,
and
the
driving
away
at
speed
to
Jarndyce
and
Jarndyce
