It
was
evident
that
the
three
daughters
had
grown
up
as
they
could
and
had
had
just
as
little
haphazard
instruction
as
qualified
them
to
be
their
father
’
s
playthings
in
his
idlest
hours
.
His
pictorial
tastes
were
consulted
,
I
observed
,
in
their
respective
styles
of
wearing
their
hair
,
the
Beauty
daughter
being
in
the
classic
manner
,
the
Sentiment
daughter
luxuriant
and
flowing
,
and
the
Comedy
daughter
in
the
arch
style
,
with
a
good
deal
of
sprightly
forehead
,
and
vivacious
little
curls
dotted
about
the
corners
of
her
eyes
.
They
were
dressed
to
correspond
,
though
in
a
most
untidy
and
negligent
way
.
Ada
and
I
conversed
with
these
young
ladies
and
found
them
wonderfully
like
their
father
.
In
the
meanwhile
Mr
.
Jarndyce
(
who
had
been
rubbing
his
head
to
a
great
extent
,
and
hinted
at
a
change
in
the
wind
)
talked
with
Mrs
.
Skimpole
in
a
corner
,
where
we
could
not
help
hearing
the
chink
of
money
.
Mr
.
Skimpole
had
previously
volunteered
to
go
home
with
us
and
had
withdrawn
to
dress
himself
for
the
purpose
.
"
My
roses
,
"
he
said
when
he
came
back
,
"
take
care
of
mama
.
She
is
poorly
to
-
day
.
By
going
home
with
Mr
.
Jarndyce
for
a
day
or
two
,
I
shall
hear
the
larks
sing
and
preserve
my
amiability
.
It
has
been
tried
,
you
know
,
and
would
be
tried
again
if
I
remained
at
home
.
"
"
That
bad
man
!
"
said
the
Comedy
daughter
.
"
At
the
very
time
when
he
knew
papa
was
lying
ill
by
his
wallflowers
,
looking
at
the
blue
sky
,
"
Laura
complained
.
"
And
when
the
smell
of
hay
was
in
the
air
!
"
said
Arethusa
.
"
It
showed
a
want
of
poetry
in
the
man
,
"
Mr
.
Skimpole
assented
,
but
with
perfect
good
humour
.
"
It
was
coarse
.
There
was
an
absence
of
the
finer
touches
of
humanity
in
it
!
My
daughters
have
taken
great
offence
,
"
he
explained
to
us
,
"
at
an
honest
man
—
"
"
Not
honest
,
papa
.
Impossible
!
"
they
all
three
protested
.
"
At
a
rough
kind
of
fellow
—
a
sort
of
human
hedgehog
rolled
up
,
"
said
Mr
.
Skimpole
,
"
who
is
a
baker
in
this
neighbourhood
and
from
whom
we
borrowed
a
couple
of
arm
-
chairs
.
We
wanted
a
couple
of
arm
-
chairs
,
and
we
hadn
’
t
got
them
,
and
therefore
of
course
we
looked
to
a
man
who
HAD
got
them
,
to
lend
them
.
Well
!
This
morose
person
lent
them
,
and
we
wore
them
out
.
When
they
were
worn
out
,
he
wanted
them
back
.
He
had
them
back
.
He
was
contented
,
you
will
say
.
Not
at
all
.
He
objected
to
their
being
worn
.
I
reasoned
with
him
,
and
pointed
out
his
mistake
.
I
said
,
’
Can
you
,
at
your
time
of
life
,
be
so
headstrong
,
my
friend
,
as
to
persist
that
an
arm
-
chair
is
a
thing
to
put
upon
a
shelf
and
look
at
?
That
it
is
an
object
to
contemplate
,
to
survey
from
a
distance
,
to
consider
from
a
point
of
sight
?
Don
’
t
you
KNOW
that
these
arm
-
chairs
were
borrowed
to
be
sat
upon
?
’
He
was
unreasonable
and
unpersuadable
and
used
intemperate
language
.
Being
as
patient
as
I
am
at
this
minute
,
I
addressed
another
appeal
to
him
.
I
said
,
’
Now
,
my
good
man
,
however
our
business
capacities
may
vary
,
we
are
all
children
of
one
great
mother
,
Nature
.
On
this
blooming
summer
morning
here
you
see
me
’
(
I
was
on
the
sofa
)
’
with
flowers
before
me
,
fruit
upon
the
table
,
the
cloudless
sky
above
me
,
the
air
full
of
fragrance
,
contemplating
Nature
.
I
entreat
you
,
by
our
common
brotherhood
,
not
to
interpose
between
me
and
a
subject
so
sublime
,
the
absurd
figure
of
an
angry
baker
!
’
But
he
did
,
"
said
Mr
.
Skimpole
,
raising
his
laughing
eyes
in
playful
astonishment
;
"
he
did
interpose
that
ridiculous
figure
,
and
he
does
,
and
he
will
again
.
And
therefore
I
am
very
glad
to
get
out
of
his
way
and
to
go
home
with
my
friend
Jarndyce
.
"
It
seemed
to
escape
his
consideration
that
Mrs
.
Skimpole
and
the
daughters
remained
behind
to
encounter
the
baker
,
but
this
was
so
old
a
story
to
all
of
them
that
it
had
become
a
matter
of
course
.
He
took
leave
of
his
family
with
a
tenderness
as
airy
and
graceful
as
any
other
aspect
in
which
he
showed
himself
and
rode
away
with
us
in
perfect
harmony
of
mind
.
We
had
an
opportunity
of
seeing
through
some
open
doors
,
as
we
went
downstairs
,
that
his
own
apartment
was
a
palace
to
the
rest
of
the
house
.
I
could
have
no
anticipation
,
and
I
had
none
,
that
something
very
startling
to
me
at
the
moment
,
and
ever
memorable
to
me
in
what
ensued
from
it
,
was
to
happen
before
this
day
was
out
.
Our
guest
was
in
such
spirits
on
the
way
home
that
I
could
do
nothing
but
listen
to
him
and
wonder
at
him
;
nor
was
I
alone
in
this
,
for
Ada
yielded
to
the
same
fascination
.
As
to
my
guardian
,
the
wind
,
which
had
threatened
to
become
fixed
in
the
east
when
we
left
Somers
Town
,
veered
completely
round
before
we
were
a
couple
of
miles
from
it
.
Whether
of
questionable
childishness
or
not
in
any
other
matters
,
Mr
.
Skimpole
had
a
child
’
s
enjoyment
of
change
and
bright
weather
.
In
no
way
wearied
by
his
sallies
on
the
road
,
he
was
in
the
drawing
-
room
before
any
of
us
;
and
I
heard
him
at
the
piano
while
I
was
yet
looking
after
my
housekeeping
,
singing
refrains
of
barcaroles
and
drinking
songs
,
Italian
and
German
,
by
the
score
.
We
were
all
assembled
shortly
before
dinner
,
and
he
was
still
at
the
piano
idly
picking
out
in
his
luxurious
way
little
strains
of
music
,
and
talking
between
whiles
of
finishing
some
sketches
of
the
ruined
old
Verulam
wall
to
-
morrow
,
which
he
had
begun
a
year
or
two
ago
and
had
got
tired
of
,
when
a
card
was
brought
in
and
my
guardian
read
aloud
in
a
surprised
voice
,
"
Sir
Leicester
Dedlock
!
"
The
visitor
was
in
the
room
while
it
was
yet
turning
round
with
me
and
before
I
had
the
power
to
stir
.
If
I
had
had
it
,
I
should
have
hurried
away
.
I
had
not
even
the
presence
of
mind
,
in
my
giddiness
,
to
retire
to
Ada
in
the
window
,
or
to
see
the
window
,
or
to
know
where
it
was
.
I
heard
my
name
and
found
that
my
guardian
was
presenting
me
before
I
could
move
to
a
chair
.
"
Pray
be
seated
,
Sir
Leicester
.
"
"
Mr
.
Jarndyce
,
"
said
Sir
Leicester
in
reply
as
he
bowed
and
seated
himself
,
"
I
do
myself
the
honour
of
calling
here
—
"
"
You
do
ME
the
honour
,
Sir
Leicester
.
"
"
Thank
you
—
of
calling
here
on
my
road
from
Lincolnshire
to
express
my
regret
that
any
cause
of
complaint
,
however
strong
,
that
I
may
have
against
a
gentleman
who
—
who
is
known
to
you
and
has
been
your
host
,
and
to
whom
therefore
I
will
make
no
farther
reference
,
should
have
prevented
you
,
still
more
ladies
under
your
escort
and
charge
,
from
seeing
whatever
little
there
may
be
to
gratify
a
polite
and
refined
taste
at
my
house
,
Chesney
Wold
.
"
"
You
are
exceedingly
obliging
,
Sir
Leicester
,
and
on
behalf
of
those
ladies
(
who
are
present
)
and
for
myself
,
I
thank
you
very
much
.
"
"
It
is
possible
,
Mr
.
Jarndyce
,
that
the
gentleman
to
whom
,
for
the
reasons
I
have
mentioned
,
I
refrain
from
making
further
allusion
—
it
is
possible
,
Mr
.
Jarndyce
,
that
that
gentleman
may
have
done
me
the
honour
so
far
to
misapprehend
my
character
as
to
induce
you
to
believe
that
you
would
not
have
been
received
by
my
local
establishment
in
Lincolnshire
with
that
urbanity
,
that
courtesy
,
which
its
members
are
instructed
to
show
to
all
ladies
and
gentlemen
who
present
themselves
at
that
house
.
I
merely
beg
to
observe
,
sir
,
that
the
fact
is
the
reverse
.
"
My
guardian
delicately
dismissed
this
remark
without
making
any
verbal
answer
.
"
It
has
given
me
pain
,
Mr
.
Jarndyce
,
"
Sir
Leicester
weightily
proceeded
.
"
I
assure
you
,
sir
,
it
has
given
—
me
—
pain
—
to
learn
from
the
housekeeper
at
Chesney
Wold
that
a
gentleman
who
was
in
your
company
in
that
part
of
the
county
,
and
who
would
appear
to
possess
a
cultivated
taste
for
the
fine
arts
,
was
likewise
deterred
by
some
such
cause
from
examining
the
family
pictures
with
that
leisure
,
that
attention
,
that
care
,
which
he
might
have
desired
to
bestow
upon
them
and
which
some
of
them
might
possibly
have
repaid
.
"
Here
he
produced
a
card
and
read
,
with
much
gravity
and
a
little
trouble
,
through
his
eye
-
glass
,
"
Mr
.
Hirrold
—
Herald
—
Harold
—
Skampling
—
Skumpling
—
I
beg
your
pardon
—
Skimpole
.
"
"
This
is
Mr
.
Harold
Skimpole
,
"
said
my
guardian
,
evidently
surprised
.
"
Oh
!
"
exclaimed
Sir
Leicester
,
"
I
am
happy
to
meet
Mr
.
Skimpole
and
to
have
the
opportunity
of
tendering
my
personal
regrets
.
I
hope
,
sir
,
that
when
you
again
find
yourself
in
my
part
of
the
county
,
you
will
be
under
no
similar
sense
of
restraint
.
"
"
You
are
very
obliging
,
Sir
Leicester
Dedlock
.
So
encouraged
,
I
shall
certainly
give
myself
the
pleasure
and
advantage
of
another
visit
to
your
beautiful
house
.
The
owners
of
such
places
as
Chesney
Wold
,
"
said
Mr
.
Skimpole
with
his
usual
happy
and
easy
air
,
"
are
public
benefactors
.
They
are
good
enough
to
maintain
a
number
of
delightful
objects
for
the
admiration
and
pleasure
of
us
poor
men
;
and
not
to
reap
all
the
admiration
and
pleasure
that
they
yield
is
to
be
ungrateful
to
our
benefactors
.
"
Sir
Leicester
seemed
to
approve
of
this
sentiment
highly
.
"
An
artist
,
sir
?
"
"
No
,
"
returned
Mr
.
Skimpole
.
"
A
perfectly
idle
man
.
A
mere
amateur
.
"
Sir
Leicester
seemed
to
approve
of
this
even
more
.
He
hoped
he
might
have
the
good
fortune
to
be
at
Chesney
Wold
when
Mr
.
Skimpole
next
came
down
into
Lincolnshire
.
Mr
.
Skimpole
professed
himself
much
flattered
and
honoured
.
"
Mr
.
Skimpole
mentioned
,
"
pursued
Sir
Leicester
,
addressing
himself
again
to
my
guardian
,
"
mentioned
to
the
housekeeper
,
who
,
as
he
may
have
observed
,
is
an
old
and
attached
retainer
of
the
family
—
"
(
"
That
is
,
when
I
walked
through
the
house
the
other
day
,
on
the
occasion
of
my
going
down
to
visit
Miss
Summerson
and
Miss
Clare
,
"
Mr
.
Skimpole
airily
explained
to
us
.
)
"
—
That
the
friend
with
whom
he
had
formerly
been
staying
there
was
Mr
.
Jarndyce
.
"
Sir
Leicester
bowed
to
the
bearer
of
that
name
.
"
And
hence
I
became
aware
of
the
circumstance
for
which
I
have
professed
my
regret
.
That
this
should
have
occurred
to
any
gentleman
,
Mr
.
Jarndyce
,
but
especially
a
gentleman
formerly
known
to
Lady
Dedlock
,
and
indeed
claiming
some
distant
connexion
with
her
,
and
for
whom
(
as
I
learn
from
my
Lady
herself
)
she
entertains
a
high
respect
,
does
,
I
assure
you
,
give
—
me
—
pain
.
"
"
Pray
say
no
more
about
it
,
Sir
Leicester
,
"
returned
my
guardian
.
"
I
am
very
sensible
,
as
I
am
sure
we
all
are
,
of
your
consideration
.
Indeed
the
mistake
was
mine
,
and
I
ought
to
apologize
for
it
.
"
I
had
not
once
looked
up
.
I
had
not
seen
the
visitor
and
had
not
even
appeared
to
myself
to
hear
the
conversation
.
It
surprises
me
to
find
that
I
can
recall
it
,
for
it
seemed
to
make
no
impression
on
me
as
it
passed
.
I
heard
them
speaking
,
but
my
mind
was
so
confused
and
my
instinctive
avoidance
of
this
gentleman
made
his
presence
so
distressing
to
me
that
I
thought
I
understood
nothing
,
through
the
rushing
in
my
head
and
the
beating
of
my
heart
.
"
I
mentioned
the
subject
to
Lady
Dedlock
,
"
said
Sir
Leicester
,
rising
,
"
and
my
Lady
informed
me
that
she
had
had
the
pleasure
of
exchanging
a
few
words
with
Mr
.
Jarndyce
and
his
wards
on
the
occasion
of
an
accidental
meeting
during
their
sojourn
in
the
vicinity
.
Permit
me
,
Mr
.
Jarndyce
,
to
repeat
to
yourself
,
and
to
these
ladies
,
the
assurance
I
have
already
tendered
to
Mr
.
Skimpole
.
Circumstances
undoubtedly
prevent
my
saying
that
it
would
afford
me
any
gratification
to
hear
that
Mr
.
Boythorn
had
favoured
my
house
with
his
presence
,
but
those
circumstances
are
confined
to
that
gentleman
himself
and
do
not
extend
beyond
him
.
"
"
You
know
my
old
opinion
of
him
,
"
said
Mr
.
Skimpole
,
lightly
appealing
to
us
.
"
An
amiable
bull
who
is
determined
to
make
every
colour
scarlet
!
"
Sir
Leicester
Dedlock
coughed
as
if
he
could
not
possibly
hear
another
word
in
reference
to
such
an
individual
and
took
his
leave
with
great
ceremony
and
politeness
.
I
got
to
my
own
room
with
all
possible
speed
and
remained
there
until
I
had
recovered
my
self
-
command
.
It
had
been
very
much
disturbed
,
but
I
was
thankful
to
find
when
I
went
downstairs
again
that
they
only
rallied
me
for
having
been
shy
and
mute
before
the
great
Lincolnshire
baronet
.
By
that
time
I
had
made
up
my
mind
that
the
period
was
come
when
I
must
tell
my
guardian
what
I
knew
.
The
possibility
of
my
being
brought
into
contact
with
my
mother
,
of
my
being
taken
to
her
house
,
even
of
Mr
.
Skimpole
’
s
,
however
distantly
associated
with
me
,
receiving
kindnesses
and
obligations
from
her
husband
,
was
so
painful
that
I
felt
I
could
no
longer
guide
myself
without
his
assistance
.
When
we
had
retired
for
the
night
,
and
Ada
and
I
had
had
our
usual
talk
in
our
pretty
room
,
I
went
out
at
my
door
again
and
sought
my
guardian
among
his
books
.
I
knew
he
always
read
at
that
hour
,
and
as
I
drew
near
I
saw
the
light
shining
out
into
the
passage
from
his
reading
-
lamp
.
"
May
I
come
in
,
guardian
?
"
"
Surely
,
little
woman
.
What
’
s
the
matter
?
"
"
Nothing
is
the
matter
.
I
thought
I
would
like
to
take
this
quiet
time
of
saying
a
word
to
you
about
myself
.
"
He
put
a
chair
for
me
,
shut
his
book
,
and
put
it
by
,
and
turned
his
kind
attentive
face
towards
me
.
I
could
not
help
observing
that
it
wore
that
curious
expression
I
had
observed
in
it
once
before
—
on
that
night
when
he
had
said
that
he
was
in
no
trouble
which
I
could
readily
understand
.
"
What
concerns
you
,
my
dear
Esther
,
"
said
he
,
"
concerns
us
all
.
You
cannot
be
more
ready
to
speak
than
I
am
to
hear
.
"
"
I
know
that
,
guardian
.
But
I
have
such
need
of
your
advice
and
support
.
Oh
!
You
don
’
t
know
how
much
need
I
have
to
-
night
.
"
He
looked
unprepared
for
my
being
so
earnest
,
and
even
a
little
alarmed
.
"
Or
how
anxious
I
have
been
to
speak
to
you
,
"
said
I
,
"
ever
since
the
visitor
was
here
to
-
day
.
"
"
The
visitor
,
my
dear
!
Sir
Leicester
Dedlock
?
"
"
Yes
.
"
He
folded
his
arms
and
sat
looking
at
me
with
an
air
of
the
profoundest
astonishment
,
awaiting
what
I
should
say
next
.
I
did
not
know
how
to
prepare
him
.
"
Why
,
Esther
,
"
said
he
,
breaking
into
a
smile
,
"
our
visitor
and
you
are
the
two
last
persons
on
earth
I
should
have
thought
of
connecting
together
!
"
"
Oh
,
yes
,
guardian
,
I
know
it
.
And
I
too
,
but
a
little
while
ago
.
"
The
smile
passed
from
his
face
,
and
he
became
graver
than
before
.
He
crossed
to
the
door
to
see
that
it
was
shut
(
but
I
had
seen
to
that
)
and
resumed
his
seat
before
me
.
"
Guardian
,
"
said
I
,
"
do
you
remember
,
when
we
were
overtaken
by
the
thunder
-
storm
,
Lady
Dedlock
’
s
speaking
to
you
of
her
sister
?
"
"
Of
course
.
Of
course
I
do
.
"
"
And
reminding
you
that
she
and
her
sister
had
differed
,
had
gone
their
several
ways
?
"
"
Of
course
.
"
"
Why
did
they
separate
,
guardian
?
"
His
face
quite
altered
as
he
looked
at
me
.
"
My
child
,
what
questions
are
these
!
I
never
knew
.
No
one
but
themselves
ever
did
know
,
I
believe
.
Who
could
tell
what
the
secrets
of
those
two
handsome
and
proud
women
were
!
You
have
seen
Lady
Dedlock
.
If
you
had
ever
seen
her
sister
,
you
would
know
her
to
have
been
as
resolute
and
haughty
as
she
.
"
"
Oh
,
guardian
,
I
have
seen
her
many
and
many
a
time
!
"
"
Seen
her
?
"
He
paused
a
little
,
biting
his
lip
.
"
Then
,
Esther
,
when
you
spoke
to
me
long
ago
of
Boythorn
,
and
when
I
told
you
that
he
was
all
but
married
once
,
and
that
the
lady
did
not
die
,
but
died
to
him
,
and
that
that
time
had
had
its
influence
on
his
later
life
—
did
you
know
it
all
,
and
know
who
the
lady
was
?
"
"
No
,
guardian
,
"
I
returned
,
fearful
of
the
light
that
dimly
broke
upon
me
.
"
Nor
do
I
know
yet
.
"
"
Lady
Dedlock
’
s
sister
.
