With
this
prelude
,
Mr
Meagles
went
through
the
narrative
;
the
established
narrative
,
which
has
become
tiresome
;
the
matter
-
of
-
course
narrative
which
we
all
know
by
heart
.
How
,
after
interminable
attendance
and
correspondence
,
after
infinite
impertinences
,
ignorances
,
and
insults
,
my
lords
made
a
Minute
,
number
three
thousand
four
hundred
and
seventy
-
two
,
allowing
the
culprit
to
make
certain
trials
of
his
invention
at
his
own
expense
.
How
the
trials
were
made
in
the
presence
of
a
board
of
six
,
of
whom
two
ancient
members
were
too
blind
to
see
it
,
two
other
ancient
members
were
too
deaf
to
hear
it
,
one
other
ancient
member
was
too
lame
to
get
near
it
,
and
the
final
ancient
member
was
too
pig
-
headed
to
look
at
it
.
How
there
were
more
years
;
more
impertinences
,
ignorances
,
and
insults
.
How
my
lords
then
made
a
Minute
,
number
five
thousand
one
hundred
and
three
,
whereby
they
resigned
the
business
to
the
Circumlocution
Office
.
How
the
Circumlocution
Office
,
in
course
of
time
,
took
up
the
business
as
if
it
were
a
bran
new
thing
of
yesterday
,
which
had
never
been
heard
of
before
;
muddled
the
business
,
addled
the
business
,
tossed
the
business
in
a
wet
blanket
.
How
the
impertinences
,
ignorances
,
and
insults
went
through
the
multiplication
table
.
How
there
was
a
reference
of
the
invention
to
three
Barnacles
and
a
Stiltstalking
,
who
knew
nothing
about
it
;
into
whose
heads
nothing
could
be
hammered
about
it
;
who
got
bored
about
it
,
and
reported
physical
impossibilities
about
it
.
How
the
Circumlocution
Office
,
in
a
Minute
,
number
eight
thousand
seven
hundred
and
forty
,
‘
saw
no
reason
to
reverse
the
decision
at
which
my
lords
had
arrived
.
’
How
the
Circumlocution
Office
,
being
reminded
that
my
lords
had
arrived
at
no
decision
,
shelved
the
business
.
How
there
had
been
a
final
interview
with
the
head
of
the
Circumlocution
Office
that
very
morning
,
and
how
the
Brazen
Head
had
spoken
,
and
had
been
,
upon
the
whole
,
and
under
all
the
circumstances
,
and
looking
at
it
from
the
various
points
of
view
,
of
opinion
that
one
of
two
courses
was
to
be
pursued
in
respect
of
the
business
:
that
was
to
say
,
either
to
leave
it
alone
for
evermore
,
or
to
begin
it
all
over
again
.
‘
Upon
which
,
’
said
Mr
Meagles
,
‘
as
a
practical
man
,
I
then
and
there
,
in
that
presence
,
took
Doyce
by
the
collar
,
and
told
him
it
was
plain
to
me
that
he
was
an
infamous
rascal
and
treasonable
disturber
of
the
government
peace
,
and
took
him
away
.
I
brought
him
out
of
the
office
door
by
the
collar
,
that
the
very
porter
might
know
I
was
a
practical
man
who
appreciated
the
official
estimate
of
such
characters
;
and
here
we
are
!
’
If
that
airy
young
Barnacle
had
been
there
,
he
would
have
frankly
told
them
perhaps
that
the
Circumlocution
Office
had
achieved
its
function
.
That
what
the
Barnacles
had
to
do
,
was
to
stick
on
to
the
national
ship
as
long
as
they
could
.
That
to
trim
the
ship
,
lighten
the
ship
,
clean
the
ship
,
would
be
to
knock
them
off
;
that
they
could
but
be
knocked
off
once
;
and
that
if
the
ship
went
down
with
them
yet
sticking
to
it
,
that
was
the
ship
’
s
look
out
,
and
not
theirs
.
‘
There
!
’
said
Mr
Meagles
,
‘
now
you
know
all
about
Doyce
.
Except
,
which
I
own
does
not
improve
my
state
of
mind
,
that
even
now
you
don
’
t
hear
him
complain
.
’
‘
You
must
have
great
patience
,
’
said
Arthur
Clennam
,
looking
at
him
with
some
wonder
,
‘
great
forbearance
.
’
‘
No
,
’
he
returned
,
‘
I
don
’
t
know
that
I
have
more
than
another
man
.
’
‘
By
the
Lord
,
you
have
more
than
I
have
,
though
!
’
cried
Mr
Meagles
.
