in something察ma¨am拭院 says Mr Guppy察 who likes nothing better
than to model his conversation on forensic principles。
^Not exactly that察 either察院 replies Mrs Chadband察 humouring
the joke with a hard´favoured smile。
^Not exactly that察either 院repeats Mr Guppy。 ^Very good。 Pray察
ma¨am察 was it a lady of your acquaintance who had some
transactions we will not at present say what transactions with
Kenge and Carboy¨s office察 or was it a gentleman of your
acquaintance拭 Take time察 ma¨am。 We shall come to it presently。
Man or woman察ma¨am拭院
^Neither察院says Mrs Chadband察as before。
^Oh A child 院 says Mr Guppy察 throwing on the admiring Mrs

Snagsby the regular acute professional eye which is thrown on
British jurymen。 ^Now察ma¨am察 perhaps you¨ll have the kindness
to tell us what child。 ̄
^You have got it at last察sir察院says Mrs Chadband察with another
hard´favoured smile。 ^Well察 sir察 it was before your time察 most
likely察judging from your appearance。 I was left in charge of a child
named Esther Summerson察 who was put out in life by Messrs。
Kenge and Carboy。 ̄
^Miss Summerson察ma¨am 院cries Mr Guppy察excited。
^I call her Esther Summerson察院 says Mrs Chadband察 with
austerity。 ^There was no Miss´ing of the girl in my time。 It was
Esther。 `Esther察do this Esther察do that and she was made to do
it。 ̄
^My dear ma¨am察院returns Mr Guppy察moving across the small
apartment察 the humble individual who now addresses you
received that young lady in London察 when she first came here
from the establishment to which you have alluded。 Allow me to
have the pleasure of taking you by the hand。 ̄
Mr Chadband察 at last seeing his opportunity察 makes his
accustomed signal察and rises with a smoking head察which he dabs
with his pocket´handkerchief。 Mrs Snagsby whispers ^Hush 院
^My friends察院 says Chadband察 we have partaken察 in
moderation ̄ which was certainly not the case so far as he was
concerned察 of the comforts which have been provided for us。
May this house live upon the fatness of the land察 may corn and
wine be plentiful therein察 may it grow察 may it thrive察 may it
prosper察 may it advance察 may it proceed察 may it press forward
But察my friends察have we partaken of anything else拭We have。 My
friends察 of what else have we partaken拭 Of spiritual profit拭 Yes。

From whence have we derived that spiritual profit拭 My young
friend察stand forth 院
Jo察 thus apostrophised察 gives a slouch backward察 and another
slouch forward察and another slouch to each side察and confronts the
eloquent Chadband察with evident doubts of his intentions。
^My dear friend察院 says Chadband察 you are to us a pearl察 you
are to us a diamond察 you are to us a gem察 you are to us a jewel。
And why察my young friend拭院
^I don¨t know察院replies Jo。 ^I don¨t know nothink。 ̄
^My young friend察院 says Chadband察 it is because you know
nothing that you are to us a gem and jewel。 For what are you察my
young friend拭Are you a beast of the field拭No。 A bird of the air拭
No。 A fish of the sea or river拭No。 You are a human boy察my young
friend。 A human boy。 O glorious to be a human boy And why
glorious察my young friend拭 Because you are capable of receiving
the lessons of wisdom察because you are capable of profiting by this
discourse which I now deliver for your good察because you are not a
stick察or a staff察or a stock察or a stone察or a post察or a pillar。
O running stream of sparkling joy
To be a soaring human boy
And do you cool yourself in that stream now察 my young friend拭
No。 Why do you not cool yourself in that stream now拭Because you
are in a state of darkness察because you are in a state of obscurity察
because you are in a state of sinfulness察because you are in a state
of bondage。 My young friend察what is bondage拭Let us察in a spirit
of love察inquire。 ̄
At this threatening stage of the discourse察 Jo察 who seems to

have been gradually going out of his mind察 smears his right arm
over his face察and gives a terrible yawn。 Mrs Snagsby indignantly
expresses her belief that he is a limb of the archfiend。
^My friends察院 says Mr Chadband察 with his persecuted chin
folding itself into its fat smile again察as he looks round察 it is right
that I should be humbled察 it is right that I should be tired察 it is
right that I should be mortified察 it is right that I should be
corrected。 I stumbled察on Sabbath last察when I thought with pride
of my three hours¨ improving。 The account is now favourably
balanced此 my creditor has accepted a composition。 O let us be
joyful察joyful O let us be joyful 院
Great sensation on the part of Mrs Snagsby。
^My friends察院says Chadband察looking round him in conclusion察
^I will not proceed with my young friend now。 Will you come
tomorrow察my young friend察and inquire of this good lady where I
am to be found to deliver a discourse untoe you察and will you come
like the thirsty swallow upon the next day察and upon the day after
that察and upon the day after that察and upon many pleasant days察to
hear discourses拭院。This察with a cow´like lightness。
Jo察 whose immediate object seems to be to get away on any
terms察gives a shuffling nod。 Mr Guppy then throws him a penny察
and Mr Snagsby calls to Guster to see him safely out of the house。
But察before he goes downstairs察Mr Snagsby loads him with some
broken meats from the table察 which he carries away察 hugging in
his arms。
So察 Mr Chadband!of whom the persecutors say that it is no
wonder he should go on for any length of time uttering such
abominable nonsense察but that the wonder rather is that he should
ever leave off察 having once the audacity to begin!retires into

private life until he invests a little capital of supper in the oil´trade。
Jo moves on察 through the long vacation察 down to Blackfriars
Bridge察where he finds a baking stony corner察wherein to settle to
his repast。
And there he sits察 munching and gnawing察 and looking up at
the great Cross on the summit of St。 Paul¨s Cathedral察 glit
