And
with
a
great
many
people
in
a
great
many
instances
,
the
question
is
never
one
of
a
change
from
wrong
to
right
(
which
is
quite
an
extraneous
consideration
)
,
but
is
always
one
of
injury
or
advantage
to
that
eminently
respectable
legion
,
Vholes
.
The
Chancellor
is
,
within
these
ten
minutes
,
"
up
"
for
the
long
vacation
.
Mr
.
Vholes
,
and
his
young
client
,
and
several
blue
bags
hastily
stuffed
out
of
all
regularity
of
form
,
as
the
larger
sort
of
serpents
are
in
their
first
gorged
state
,
have
returned
to
the
official
den
.
Mr
.
Vholes
,
quiet
and
unmoved
,
as
a
man
of
so
much
respectability
ought
to
be
,
takes
off
his
close
black
gloves
as
if
he
were
skinning
his
hands
,
lifts
off
his
tight
hat
as
if
he
were
scalping
himself
,
and
sits
down
at
his
desk
.
The
client
throws
his
hat
and
gloves
upon
the
ground
—
tosses
them
anywhere
,
without
looking
after
them
or
caring
where
they
go
;
flings
himself
into
a
chair
,
half
sighing
and
half
groaning
;
rests
his
aching
head
upon
his
hand
and
looks
the
portrait
of
young
despair
.
"
Again
nothing
done
!
"
says
Richard
.
"
Nothing
,
nothing
done
!
"
"
Don
’
t
say
nothing
done
,
sir
,
"
returns
the
placid
Vholes
.
"
That
is
scarcely
fair
,
sir
,
scarcely
fair
!
"
"
Why
,
what
IS
done
?
"
says
Richard
,
turning
gloomily
upon
him
.
"
That
may
not
be
the
whole
question
,
"
returns
Vholes
,
"
The
question
may
branch
off
into
what
is
doing
,
what
is
doing
?
"
"
And
what
is
doing
?
"
asks
the
moody
client
.
Vholes
,
sitting
with
his
arms
on
the
desk
,
quietly
bringing
the
tips
of
his
five
right
fingers
to
meet
the
tips
of
his
five
left
fingers
,
and
quietly
separating
them
again
,
and
fixedly
and
slowly
looking
at
his
client
,
replies
,
"
A
good
deal
is
doing
,
sir
.
We
have
put
our
shoulders
to
the
wheel
,
Mr
.
Carstone
,
and
the
wheel
is
going
round
.
"
"
Yes
,
with
Ixion
on
it
.
How
am
I
to
get
through
the
next
four
or
five
accursed
months
?
"
exclaims
the
young
man
,
rising
from
his
chair
and
walking
about
the
room
.
"
Mr
.
C
.
,
"
returns
Vholes
,
following
him
close
with
his
eyes
wherever
he
goes
,
"
your
spirits
are
hasty
,
and
I
am
sorry
for
it
on
your
account
.
Excuse
me
if
I
recommend
you
not
to
chafe
so
much
,
not
to
be
so
impetuous
,
not
to
wear
yourself
out
so
.
You
should
have
more
patience
.
You
should
sustain
yourself
better
.
"
"
I
ought
to
imitate
you
,
in
fact
,
Mr
.
Vholes
?
"
says
Richard
,
sitting
down
again
with
an
impatient
laugh
and
beating
the
devil
’
s
tattoo
with
his
boot
on
the
patternless
carpet
.
"
Sir
,
"
returns
Vholes
,
always
looking
at
the
client
as
if
he
were
making
a
lingering
meal
of
him
with
his
eyes
as
well
as
with
his
professional
appetite
.
"
Sir
,
"
returns
Vholes
with
his
inward
manner
of
speech
and
his
bloodless
quietude
,
"
I
should
not
have
had
the
presumption
to
propose
myself
as
a
model
for
your
imitation
or
any
man
’
s
.
Let
me
but
leave
the
good
name
to
my
three
daughters
,
and
that
is
enough
for
me
;
I
am
not
a
self
-
seeker
.
But
since
you
mention
me
so
pointedly
,
I
will
acknowledge
that
I
should
like
to
impart
to
you
a
little
of
my
—
come
,
sir
,
you
are
disposed
to
call
it
insensibility
,
and
I
am
sure
I
have
no
objection
—
say
insensibility
—
a
little
of
my
insensibility
.
"
"
Mr
.
Vholes
,
"
explains
the
client
,
somewhat
abashed
,
"
I
had
no
intention
to
accuse
you
of
insensibility
.
"
"
I
think
you
had
,
sir
,
without
knowing
it
,
"
returns
the
equable
Vholes
.
"
Very
naturally
.
It
is
my
duty
to
attend
to
your
interests
with
a
cool
head
,
and
I
can
quite
understand
that
to
your
excited
feelings
I
may
appear
,
at
such
times
as
the
present
,
insensible
.
My
daughters
may
know
me
better
;
my
aged
father
may
know
me
better
.
But
they
have
known
me
much
longer
than
you
have
,
and
the
confiding
eye
of
affection
is
not
the
distrustful
eye
of
business
.
Not
that
I
complain
,
sir
,
of
the
eye
of
business
being
distrustful
;
quite
the
contrary
.
In
attending
to
your
interests
,
I
wish
to
have
all
possible
checks
upon
me
;
it
is
right
that
I
should
have
them
;
I
court
inquiry
.
But
your
interests
demand
that
I
should
be
cool
and
methodical
,
Mr
.
Carstone
;
and
I
cannot
be
otherwise
—
no
,
sir
,
not
even
to
please
you
.
"
Mr
.
Vholes
,
after
glancing
at
the
official
cat
who
is
patiently
watching
a
mouse
’
s
hole
,
fixes
his
charmed
gaze
again
on
his
young
client
and
proceeds
in
his
buttoned
-
up
,
half
-
audible
voice
as
if
there
were
an
unclean
spirit
in
him
that
will
neither
come
out
nor
speak
out
,
"
What
are
you
to
do
,
sir
,
you
inquire
,
during
the
vacation
.
I
should
hope
you
gentlemen
of
the
army
may
find
many
means
of
amusing
yourselves
if
you
give
your
minds
to
it
.
If
you
had
asked
me
what
I
was
to
do
during
the
vacation
,
I
could
have
answered
you
more
readily
.
I
am
to
attend
to
your
interests
.
I
am
to
be
found
here
,
day
by
day
,
attending
to
your
interests
.
That
is
my
duty
,
Mr
.
C
.
,
and
term
-
time
or
vacation
makes
no
difference
to
me
.
If
you
wish
to
consult
me
as
to
your
interests
,
you
will
find
me
here
at
all
times
alike
.
Other
professional
men
go
out
of
town
.
I
don
’
t
.
Not
that
I
blame
them
for
going
;
I
merely
say
I
don
’
t
go
.
This
desk
is
your
rock
,
sir
!
"
Mr
.
Vholes
gives
it
a
rap
,
and
it
sounds
as
hollow
as
a
coffin
.
Not
to
Richard
,
though
.
There
is
encouragement
in
the
sound
to
him
.
Perhaps
Mr
.
Vholes
knows
there
is
.
"
I
am
perfectly
aware
,
Mr
.
Vholes
,
"
says
Richard
,
more
familiarly
and
good
-
humouredly
,
"
that
you
are
the
most
reliable
fellow
in
the
world
and
that
to
have
to
do
with
you
is
to
have
to
do
with
a
man
of
business
who
is
not
to
be
hoodwinked
.
But
put
yourself
in
my
case
,
dragging
on
this
dislocated
life
,
sinking
deeper
and
deeper
into
difficulty
every
day
,
continually
hoping
and
continually
disappointed
,
conscious
of
change
upon
change
for
the
worse
in
myself
,
and
of
no
change
for
the
better
in
anything
else
,
and
you
will
find
it
a
dark
-
looking
case
sometimes
,
as
I
do
.
"
"
You
know
,
"
says
Mr
.
Vholes
,
"
that
I
never
give
hopes
,
sir
.
I
told
you
from
the
first
,
Mr
.
C
.
,
that
I
never
give
hopes
.
Particularly
in
a
case
like
this
,
where
the
greater
part
of
the
costs
comes
out
of
the
estate
,
I
should
not
be
considerate
of
my
good
name
if
I
gave
hopes
.
It
might
seem
as
if
costs
were
my
object
.
Still
,
when
you
say
there
is
no
change
for
the
better
,
I
must
,
as
a
bare
matter
of
fact
,
deny
that
.
"
"
Aye
?
"
returns
Richard
,
brightening
.
"
But
how
do
you
make
it
out
?
"
"
Mr
.
Carstone
,
you
are
represented
by
—
"
"
You
said
just
now
—
a
rock
.
"
"
Yes
,
sir
,
"
says
Mr
.
Vholes
,
gently
shaking
his
head
and
rapping
the
hollow
desk
,
with
a
sound
as
if
ashes
were
falling
on
ashes
,
and
dust
on
dust
,
"
a
rock
.
That
’
s
something
.
You
are
separately
represented
,
and
no
longer
hidden
and
lost
in
the
interests
of
others
.
THAT
’
S
something
.
The
suit
does
not
sleep
;
we
wake
it
up
,
we
air
it
,
we
walk
it
about
.
THAT
’
S
something
.
It
’
s
not
all
Jarndyce
,
in
fact
as
well
as
in
name
.
THAT
’
S
something
.
Nobody
has
it
all
his
own
way
now
,
sir
.
And
THAT
’
S
something
,
surely
.
"
Richard
,
his
face
flushing
suddenly
,
strikes
the
desk
with
his
clenched
hand
.
"
Mr
.
Vholes
!
If
any
man
had
told
me
when
I
first
went
to
John
Jarndyce
’
s
house
that
he
was
anything
but
the
disinterested
friend
he
seemed
—
that
he
was
what
he
has
gradually
turned
out
to
be
—
I
could
have
found
no
words
strong
enough
to
repel
the
slander
;
I
could
not
have
defended
him
too
ardently
.
So
little
did
I
know
of
the
world
!
Whereas
now
I
do
declare
to
you
that
he
becomes
to
me
the
embodiment
of
the
suit
;
that
in
place
of
its
being
an
abstraction
,
it
is
John
Jarndyce
;
that
the
more
I
suffer
,
the
more
indignant
I
am
with
him
;
that
every
new
delay
and
every
new
disappointment
is
only
a
new
injury
from
John
Jarndyce
’
s
hand
.
"
"
No
,
no
,
"
says
Vholes
.
"
Don
’
t
say
so
.
We
ought
to
have
patience
,
all
of
us
.
Besides
,
I
never
disparage
,
sir
.
I
never
disparage
.
"
"
Mr
.
Vholes
,
"
returns
the
angry
client
.
"
You
know
as
well
as
I
that
he
would
have
strangled
the
suit
if
he
could
.
"
"
He
was
not
active
in
it
,
"
Mr
.
Vholes
admits
with
an
appearance
of
reluctance
.
"
He
certainly
was
not
active
in
it
.
But
however
,
but
however
,
he
might
have
had
amiable
intentions
.
Who
can
read
the
heart
,
Mr
.
C
.
!
"
"
You
can
,
"
returns
Richard
.
"
I
,
Mr
.
C
.
?
"
"
Well
enough
to
know
what
his
intentions
were
.
Are
or
are
not
our
interests
conflicting
?
Tell
—
me
—
that
!
"
says
Richard
,
accompanying
his
last
three
words
with
three
raps
on
his
rock
of
trust
.
"
Mr
.
C
.
,
"
returns
Vholes
,
immovable
in
attitude
and
never
winking
his
hungry
eyes
,
"
I
should
be
wanting
in
my
duty
as
your
professional
adviser
,
I
should
be
departing
from
my
fidelity
to
your
interests
,
if
I
represented
those
interests
as
identical
with
the
interests
of
Mr
.
Jarndyce
.
They
are
no
such
thing
,
sir
.
I
never
impute
motives
;
I
both
have
and
am
a
father
,
and
I
never
impute
motives
.
But
I
must
not
shrink
from
a
professional
duty
,
even
if
it
sows
dissensions
in
families
.
I
understand
you
to
be
now
consulting
me
professionally
as
to
your
interests
?
You
are
so
?
I
reply
,
then
,
they
are
not
identical
with
those
of
Mr
.
Jarndyce
.
"
"
Of
course
they
are
not
!
"
cries
Richard
.
"
You
found
that
out
long
ago
.
"
"
Mr
.
C
.
,
"
returns
Vholes
,
"
I
wish
to
say
no
more
of
any
third
party
than
is
necessary
.
I
wish
to
leave
my
good
name
unsullied
,
together
with
any
little
property
of
which
I
may
become
possessed
through
industry
and
perseverance
,
to
my
daughters
Emma
,
Jane
,
and
Caroline
.
I
also
desire
to
live
in
amity
with
my
professional
brethren
.
When
Mr
.
Skimpole
did
me
the
honour
,
sir
—
I
will
not
say
the
very
high
honour
,
for
I
never
stoop
to
flattery
—
of
bringing
us
together
in
this
room
,
I
mentioned
to
you
that
I
could
offer
no
opinion
or
advice
as
to
your
interests
while
those
interests
were
entrusted
to
another
member
of
the
profession
.
And
I
spoke
in
such
terms
as
I
was
bound
to
speak
of
Kenge
and
Carboy
’
s
office
,
which
stands
high
.
You
,
sir
,
thought
fit
to
withdraw
your
interests
from
that
keeping
nevertheless
and
to
offer
them
to
me
.
You
brought
them
with
clean
hands
,
sir
,
and
I
accepted
them
with
clean
hands
.
Those
interests
are
now
paramount
in
this
office
.
My
digestive
functions
,
as
you
may
have
heard
me
mention
,
are
not
in
a
good
state
,
and
rest
might
improve
them
;
but
I
shall
not
rest
,
sir
,
while
I
am
your
representative
.
Whenever
you
want
me
,
you
will
find
me
here
.
Summon
me
anywhere
,
and
I
will
come
.
During
the
long
vacation
,
sir
,
I
shall
devote
my
leisure
to
studying
your
interests
more
and
more
closely
and
to
making
arrangements
for
moving
heaven
and
earth
(
including
,
of
course
,
the
Chancellor
)
after
Michaelmas
term
;
and
when
I
ultimately
congratulate
you
,
sir
,
"
says
Mr
.
Vholes
with
the
severity
of
a
determined
man
,
"
when
I
ultimately
congratulate
you
,
sir
,
with
all
my
heart
,
on
your
accession
to
fortune
—
which
,
but
that
I
never
give
hopes
,
I
might
say
something
further
about
—
you
will
owe
me
nothing
beyond
whatever
little
balance
may
be
then
outstanding
of
the
costs
as
between
solicitor
and
client
not
included
in
the
taxed
costs
allowed
out
of
the
estate
.
I
pretend
to
no
claim
upon
you
,
Mr
.
C
.
,
but
for
the
zealous
and
active
discharge
—
not
the
languid
and
routine
discharge
,
sir
:
that
much
credit
I
stipulate
for
—
of
my
professional
duty
.
My
duty
prosperously
ended
,
all
between
us
is
ended
.
"
Vholes
finally
adds
,
by
way
of
rider
to
this
declaration
of
his
principles
,
that
as
Mr
.
Carstone
is
about
to
rejoin
his
regiment
,
perhaps
Mr
.
C
.
will
favour
him
with
an
order
on
his
agent
for
twenty
pounds
on
account
.
"
For
there
have
been
many
little
consultations
and
attendances
of
late
,
sir
,
"
observes
Vholes
,
turning
over
the
leaves
of
his
diary
,
"
and
these
things
mount
up
,
and
I
don
’
t
profess
to
be
a
man
of
capital
.
When
we
first
entered
on
our
present
relations
I
stated
to
you
openly
—
it
is
a
principle
of
mine
that
there
never
can
be
too
much
openness
between
solicitor
and
client
—
that
I
was
not
a
man
of
capital
and
that
if
capital
was
your
object
you
had
better
leave
your
papers
in
Kenge
’
s
office
.
No
,
Mr
.
C
.
,
you
will
find
none
of
the
advantages
or
disadvantages
of
capital
here
,
sir
.
This
,
"
Vholes
gives
the
desk
one
hollow
blow
again
,
"
is
your
rock
;
it
pretends
to
be
nothing
more
.
"
The
client
,
with
his
dejection
insensibly
relieved
and
his
vague
hopes
rekindled
,
takes
pen
and
ink
and
writes
the
draft
,
not
without
perplexed
consideration
and
calculation
of
the
date
it
may
bear
,
implying
scant
effects
in
the
agent
’
s
hands
.
All
the
while
,
Vholes
,
buttoned
up
in
body
and
mind
,
looks
at
him
attentively
.
All
the
while
,
Vholes
’
s
official
cat
watches
the
mouse
’
s
hole
.
Lastly
,
the
client
,
shaking
hands
,
beseeches
Mr
.
Vholes
,
for
heaven
’
s
sake
and
earth
’
s
sake
,
to
do
his
utmost
to
"
pull
him
through
"
the
Court
of
Chancery
.
Mr
.
Vholes
,
who
never
gives
hopes
,
lays
his
palm
upon
the
client
’
s
shoulder
and
answers
with
a
smile
,
"
Always
here
,
sir
.
Personally
,
or
by
letter
,
you
will
always
find
me
here
,
sir
,
with
my
shoulder
to
the
wheel
.
"
Thus
they
part
,
and
Vholes
,
left
alone
,
employs
himself
in
carrying
sundry
little
matters
out
of
his
diary
into
his
draft
bill
book
for
the
ultimate
behoof
of
his
three
daughters
.
So
might
an
industrious
fox
or
bear
make
up
his
account
of
chickens
or
stray
travellers
with
an
eye
to
his
cubs
,
not
to
disparage
by
that
word
the
three
raw
-
visaged
,
lank
,
and
buttoned
-
up
maidens
who
dwell
with
the
parent
Vholes
in
an
earthy
cottage
situated
in
a
damp
garden
at
Kennington
.
Richard
,
emerging
from
the
heavy
shade
of
Symond
’
s
Inn
into
the
sunshine
of
Chancery
Lane
—
for
there
happens
to
be
sunshine
there
to
-
day
—
walks
thoughtfully
on
,
and
turns
into
Lincoln
’
s
Inn
,
and
passes
under
the
shadow
of
the
Lincoln
’
s
Inn
trees
.
On
many
such
loungers
have
the
speckled
shadows
of
those
trees
often
fallen
;
on
the
like
bent
head
,
the
bitten
nail
,
the
lowering
eye
,
the
lingering
step
,
the
purposeless
and
dreamy
air
,
the
good
consuming
and
consumed
,
the
life
turned
sour
.
This
lounger
is
not
shabby
yet
,
but
that
may
come
.
Chancery
,
which
knows
no
wisdom
but
in
precedent
,
is
very
rich
in
such
precedents
;
and
why
should
one
be
different
from
ten
thousand
?
Yet
the
time
is
so
short
since
his
depreciation
began
that
as
he
saunters
away
,
reluctant
to
leave
the
spot
for
some
long
months
together
,
though
he
hates
it
,
Richard
himself
may
feel
his
own
case
as
if
it
were
a
startling
one
.
While
his
heart
is
heavy
with
corroding
care
,
suspense
,
distrust
,
and
doubt
,
it
may
have
room
for
some
sorrowful
wonder
when
he
recalls
how
different
his
first
visit
there
,
how
different
he
,
how
different
all
the
colours
of
his
mind
.
But
injustice
breeds
injustice
;
the
fighting
with
shadows
and
being
defeated
by
them
necessitates
the
setting
up
of
substances
to
combat
;
from
the
impalpable
suit
which
no
man
alive
can
understand
,
the
time
for
that
being
long
gone
by
,
it
has
become
a
gloomy
relief
to
turn
to
the
palpable
figure
of
the
friend
who
would
have
saved
him
from
this
ruin
and
make
HIM
his
enemy
.
Richard
has
told
Vholes
the
truth
.
Is
he
in
a
hardened
or
a
softened
mood
,
he
still
lays
his
injuries
equally
at
that
door
;
he
was
thwarted
,
in
that
quarter
,
of
a
set
purpose
,
and
that
purpose
could
only
originate
in
the
one
subject
that
is
resolving
his
existence
into
itself
;
besides
,
it
is
a
justification
to
him
in
his
own
eyes
to
have
an
embodied
antagonist
and
oppressor
.
