    ^Well 院says the constable察 so far察it seems察he had grounds for 

what he said。 When I took him into custody up in Holborn察he said 

you knew him。 Upon that察a young man who was in the crowd said 

he    was    acquainted     with    you察  and    you   were    a   respectable 

housekeeper察and if I¨d call and make the inquiry he¨d appear。 The

with the chivalry of clerkship to the ladies on the stairs。 

    ^I was strolling away from the office just now察when I found this 

row going on察院says Mr Guppy to the law´stationer察 and as   your 

name   was mentioned察 I   thought  it   was   right   the   thing   should   be 

looked into。 ̄ 

    ^It was very good´natured of you察sir察院says Mr Snagsby察 and I 

am obliged to you。 ̄ And Mr Snagsby again relates his experience察

again suppressing the half´crown fact。 

    ^Now察I know where you live察院says the constable察then察  to  Jo。 

^You live down in Tom´all´Alone¨s。 That¨s a nice innocent place to 

live in察ain¨t it拭院

    ^I   can¨t   go   and   live   in   no   nicer   place察  sir察院  replies   Jo。   ^They

place fur to live。 Who ud go and let a nice innocent lodging to such 

a reg¨lar one as me 院

she ses `can you show me all them places拭 I ses `yes I can¨ I ses。 

And she ses to me `do it¨ and I dun it and she giv me a sov¨ring and 

hooked it。 And  I   an¨t  had   much  of  the  sov¨ring neither察院  says   Jo察

with   dirty   tears察   fur   I  had  to  pay   five  bob察  down     in  Tom´all´ 

Alone¨s察afore they¨d square it fur  to  give   me   change察  and  then   a 

young man he thieved another five while I was asleep and another 

boy he thieved ninepence and the landlord he stood drains round 

with a lot more on it。 ̄ 

    ^You don¨t expect anybody  to  believe   this察  about  the   lady  and 

the sovereign察do you拭院says the constable察eyeing him aside with 

ineffable disdain。 

    ^I don¨t know as I do察sir察院replies Jo。 ^I don¨t expect nothink at

Catch hold of your money。 Now察  the  sooner  you¨re  five  miles   off察

the better for all parties。 ̄ 

    With   this   farewell   hint察  and   pointing   generally   to   the   setting 

sun察as a likely place to move on to察the constable bids his auditors 

good   afternoon察  and   makes   the   echoes   of   Cook¨s   Court   perform 

slow music for him as he walks away on the shady side察carrying 

his iron´bound hat in his hand for a little ventilation。 

    Now察     Jo¨s   improbable       story    concerning       the   lady    and    the 

sovereign      has    awakened       more    or   less  the   curiosity     of  all  the 

company。   Mr   Guppy察  who   has   an   inquiring   mind   in   matters   of 

evidence察and who has been suffering severely from the lassitude 

of the long vacation察takes that interest in the case察that he enters 

on   a   regular  cross´examination  of  the   witness察  which  is   found   so 

interesting by the ladies that Mrs Snagsby politely invites him   to 

step    upstairs察    and   drink    a   cup    of  tea察  if  he  will   excuse     the 

disarranged   state   of   the   tea´table察  consequent   on   their   previous 

exertions。   Mr   Guppy   yielding   his   assent   to   this        proposal察  Jo   is 

requested       to   follow   into   the  drawing´room        doorway察    where     Mr 

Guppy takes him in hand as a witness察patting him into this shape察

that shape察and the other shape察like a butterman dealing with so 

much butter察and worrying him according to the best models。 Nor 

is   the   examination       unlike    many     such    model    displays察    both   in 

respect   of   its   eliciting   nothing察  and   of   its   being   lengthy察  for察  Mr 

Guppy   is   sensible   of   his   talent察  and   Mrs   Snagsby   feels察  not   only 

that    it  gratifies   her   inquisitive    disposition察    but   that  it  lifts  her 

husband¨s establishment higher up in the law。 During the progress 

of    this   keen    encounter察     the    vessel    Chadband察      being     merely 

engaged in the oil trade察gets aground察and waits to be floated off。 

    ^Well 院    says    Mr    Guppy察      either    this   boy   sticks    to  it  like
