,
as
to
Orlick
;
he
had
gone
to
town
exactly
as
he
told
us
when
we
picked
him
up
at
the
turnpike
,
he
had
been
seen
about
town
all
the
evening
,
he
had
been
in
divers
companies
in
several
public
-
houses
,
and
he
had
come
back
with
myself
and
Mr
.
Wopsle
.
There
was
nothing
against
him
,
save
the
quarrel
;
and
my
sister
had
quarrelled
with
him
,
and
with
everybody
else
about
her
,
ten
thousand
times
.
As
to
the
strange
man
;
if
he
had
come
back
for
his
two
bank
-
notes
there
could
have
been
no
dispute
about
them
,
because
my
sister
was
fully
prepared
to
restore
them
.
Besides
,
there
had
been
no
altercation
;
the
assailant
had
come
in
so
silently
and
suddenly
,
that
she
had
been
felled
before
she
could
look
round
.
It
was
horrible
to
think
that
I
had
provided
the
weapon
,
however
undesignedly
,
but
I
could
hardly
think
otherwise
.
I
suffered
unspeakable
trouble
while
I
considered
and
reconsidered
whether
I
should
at
last
dissolve
that
spell
of
my
childhood
and
tell
Joe
all
the
story
.
For
months
afterwards
,
I
every
day
settled
the
question
finally
in
the
negative
,
and
reopened
and
reargued
it
next
morning
.
The
contention
came
,
after
all
,
to
this
;
—
the
secret
was
such
an
old
one
now
,
had
so
grown
into
me
and
become
a
part
of
myself
,
that
I
could
not
tear
it
away
.
In
addition
to
the
dread
that
,
having
led
up
to
so
much
mischief
,
it
would
be
now
more
likely
than
ever
to
alienate
Joe
from
me
if
he
believed
it
,
I
had
a
further
restraining
dread
that
he
would
not
believe
it
,
but
would
assort
it
with
the
fabulous
dogs
and
veal
-
cutlets
as
a
monstrous
invention
.
However
,
I
temporized
with
myself
,
of
course
—
for
,
was
I
not
wavering
between
right
and
wrong
,
when
the
thing
is
always
done
?
—
and
resolved
to
make
a
full
disclosure
if
I
should
see
any
such
new
occasion
as
a
new
chance
of
helping
in
the
discovery
of
the
assailant
.
The
Constables
and
the
Bow
Street
men
from
London
—
for
,
this
happened
in
the
days
of
the
extinct
red
-
waistcoated
police
—
were
about
the
house
for
a
week
or
two
,
and
did
pretty
much
what
I
have
heard
and
read
of
like
authorities
doing
in
other
such
cases
.
They
took
up
several
obviously
wrong
people
,
and
they
ran
their
heads
very
hard
against
wrong
ideas
,
and
persisted
in
trying
to
fit
the
circumstances
to
the
ideas
,
instead
of
trying
to
extract
ideas
from
the
circumstances
.
Also
,
they
stood
about
the
door
of
the
Jolly
Bargemen
,
with
knowing
and
reserved
looks
that
filled
the
whole
neighborhood
with
admiration
;
and
they
had
a
mysterious
manner
of
taking
their
drink
,
that
was
almost
as
good
as
taking
the
culprit
.
But
not
quite
,
for
they
never
did
it
.
Long
after
these
constitutional
powers
had
dispersed
,
my
sister
lay
very
ill
in
bed
.
Her
sight
was
disturbed
,
so
that
she
saw
objects
multiplied
,
and
grasped
at
visionary
teacups
and
wineglasses
instead
of
the
realities
;
her
hearing
was
greatly
impaired
;
her
memory
also
;
and
her
speech
was
unintelligible
.
When
,
at
last
,
she
came
round
so
far
as
to
be
helped
down
stairs
,
it
was
still
necessary
to
keep
my
slate
always
by
her
,
that
she
might
indicate
in
writing
what
she
could
not
indicate
in
speech
.
As
she
was
(
very
bad
handwriting
apart
)
a
more
than
indifferent
speller
,
and
as
Joe
was
a
more
than
indifferent
reader
,
extraordinary
complications
arose
between
them
which
I
was
always
called
in
to
solve
.
The
administration
of
mutton
instead
of
medicine
,
the
substitution
of
Tea
for
Joe
,
and
the
baker
for
bacon
,
were
among
the
mildest
of
my
own
mistakes
.
However
,
her
temper
was
greatly
improved
,
and
she
was
patient
.
A
tremulous
uncertainty
of
the
action
of
all
her
limbs
soon
became
a
part
of
her
regular
state
,
and
afterwards
,
at
intervals
of
two
or
three
months
,
she
would
often
put
her
hands
to
her
head
,
and
would
then
remain
for
about
a
week
at
a
time
in
some
gloomy
aberration
of
mind
.
We
were
at
a
loss
to
find
a
suitable
attendant
for
her
,
until
a
circumstance
happened
conveniently
to
relieve
us
.
Mr
.
Wopsle
’
s
great
-
aunt
conquered
a
confirmed
habit
of
living
into
which
she
had
fallen
,
and
Biddy
became
a
part
of
our
establishment
.
It
may
have
been
about
a
month
after
my
sister
’
s
reappearance
in
the
kitchen
,
when
Biddy
came
to
us
with
a
small
speckled
box
containing
the
whole
of
her
worldly
effects
,
and
became
a
blessing
to
the
household
.
Above
all
,
she
was
a
blessing
to
Joe
,
for
the
dear
old
fellow
was
sadly
cut
up
by
the
constant
contemplation
of
the
wreck
of
his
wife
,
and
had
been
accustomed
,
while
attending
on
her
of
an
evening
,
to
turn
to
me
every
now
and
then
and
say
,
with
his
blue
eyes
moistened
,
"
Such
a
fine
figure
of
a
woman
as
she
once
were
,
Pip
!
"
Biddy
instantly
taking
the
cleverest
charge
of
her
as
though
she
had
studied
her
from
infancy
;
Joe
became
able
in
some
sort
to
appreciate
the
greater
quiet
of
his
life
,
and
to
get
down
to
the
Jolly
Bargemen
now
and
then
for
a
change
that
did
him
good
.
It
was
characteristic
of
the
police
people
that
they
had
all
more
or
less
suspected
poor
Joe
(
though
he
never
knew
it
)
,
and
that
they
had
to
a
man
concurred
in
regarding
him
as
one
of
the
deepest
spirits
they
had
ever
encountered
.
Biddy
’
s
first
triumph
in
her
new
office
,
was
to
solve
a
difficulty
that
had
completely
vanquished
me
.
I
had
tried
hard
at
it
,
but
had
made
nothing
of
it
.
Thus
it
was
:
