                                   Bleak House                                    420 



    ^My dear friend 院The old man gives him both his hands。 

    ^So you think your friend in the city will be hard upon me察if I 

fail in a payment拭院says the trooper察looking down upon him like a 

giant。 

    ^My   dear   friend察   I   am   afraid  he   will察院 returns    the  old   man察

looking up at him like a pigmy。 

    Mr George laughs察  and   with  a   glance at  Mr  Smallweed察and   a 

parting salutation to the scornful Judy察strides out of the parlour察

clashing imaginary sabres and other metallic appurtenances as he 

goes。 

    ^You¨re   a   damned   rogue察院  says   the   old   gentleman察  making   a 

hideous grimace at the door as shuts it。 ^But I¨ll lime you察you dog察

I¨ll lime you 院

   After this amiable remark察his spirit soars into those enchanting 

regions of reflection which its education and pursuits have opened 

to it察and again he and Mrs Smallweed wile away the rosy hours察

two    unrelieved      sentinels    forgotten     as  aforesaid     by   the   Black 

Serjeant。 

    While   the   twain   are   faithful   to   their   post察  Mr   George   strides 

through   the   streets   with  a   massive   kind   of  swagger  and   a   grave´ 

enough face。 It is eight o¨clock now察and the day is fast drawing in。 

He stops hard by Waterloo Bridge察and reads a play´bill察decides to 

go   to   Astley¨s   Theatre。   Being   there察  is   much   delighted   with   the 

horses     and   the   feats  of  strength察   looks   at  the   weapons     with   a 

critical   eye察  disapproves   of   the   combats察  as   giving   evidences   of 

unskillful swordsmanship察but is touched home by the sentiments。 

In the last scene察when the Emperor of Tartary gets up into a cart 

and condescends to bless the united lovers by hovering over them 

with the Union Jack察his eyelashes are moistened with emotion。

    The theatre over察Mr George comes across the water again察and 

makes his way  to  that  curious   region   lying  about  the   Haymarket 

and Leicester Square察which is a centre of attraction to indifferent 

foreign   hotels   and   indifferent   foreigners察  racket´courts察  fighting´ 

men察     swordsmen察        footguards察      old    china察    gaming      houses察

exhibitions察and a large medley of shabbiness and shrinking out of 

sight。 Penetrating to the heart of this region察he arrives察by a court 

and     a  long    whitewashed        passage察   at   a  great    brick   building察

composed of bare walls察  floors察  roof´rafters察  and   skylights察  on   the 

front    of  which察   if  it  can  be  said   to  have    any   front察  is  painted 

GEORGE¨S SHOOTING GALLERY察etc。 

    Into George¨s Shooting Gallery察etc。察he goes察and in it there are 

gaslights   partly   turned   off   now察  and   two   whitened   targets        for 

rifle´shooting察       and     archery      accommodation察          and     fencing 

appliances察and all necessaries for the British art of boxing。 None 

of   these    sports    or   exercises     are   being    pursued      in   George¨s 

Shooting   Gallery   tonight察  which   is   so   devoid   of   company察  that   a 

little   grotesque   man察  with  a large   head察  has  it  all   to   himself察  and 

lies asleep upon the floor。 

    The little man is dressed something like a gunsmith察in a green 

baize     apron    and   cap察  and    his  face   and    hands    are   dirty   with 

gunpowder察and begrimed with the loading of guns。 As he lies in 

the light察before a glaring white target察the black upon him shines 

again。 Not far off察is the strong察rough察primitive table察with a vice 

upon   it察at  which  he   has been  working。   He is a   little   man   with  a 

face   all   crushed   together察  who   appears察  from   a   certain   blue   and 

speckled appearance that one of his cheeks presents察to have been 

blown up察in the way of business察at some odd time or times。 

    ^Phil 院says the trooper察in a quiet voice。

    ^All right 院cries Phil察scrambling to his feet。 

    ^Anything been doing 院

    ^Flat as ever so much swipes察院says Phil。 ^Five dozen rifle and a 

dozen pistol。 As to aim 院Phil gives a howl at the recollection。 

    ^Shut up shop察Phil 院

   As Phil moves about to execute this order察it appears that he is 

lame察  though  able  to  move   very  quickly。   On   the   speckled   side   of 

his face he has no eyebrow察and on the other side he has a bushy 

black one察which want of uniformity gives him a very singular and 

rather sinister appearance。 Everything seems to have happened to 

his   hands    that   could   possibly    take   place察 consistently     with   the 

retention of all the fingers察for they are notched察and seamed察and 

crumpled   all   over。   He   appears   to   be   very   strong察  and   lifts   heavy 

benches   about   as   if   he   had   no   idea   what   weight   was。   He   has   a 

curious way of limping round the gallery with his shoulder against 

the wall察and tacking off at objects he wants to lay hold of察instead 

of going straight to them察which has left a smear all round the four 

walls察conventionally called ^Phil¨s mark。 ̄ 

    This    custodian      of   George¨s     Gallery    in   George¨s      absence 

concludes   his   proceedings察  when   he   has   locked   the   great   doors察

and turned out all the lights but one察which he leaves to glimmer察

by dragging out from a wooden cabin in a corner two mattresses 

and  bedding。   These being  drawn  to  opposite   ends  of  the   gallery察

the trooper makes his own bed察and Phil makes his。 

    ^Phil 院says the master察walking  towards   him   without  his   coat 

and waistcoat察and looking more soldierly than ever in his braces。 

^You were found in a doorway察weren¨t you拭院

    ^Gutter察院says Phil。 ^Watchman tumbled over me。 ̄ 

    ^Then察     vagabondising        came      natural     to   you察   from     the

    Phil   cannot   even   go   straight   to   bed察  but   finds   it   necessary   to 

shoulder  round   two   sides   of   the   gallery察  and   then   tack   off   at   his 

mattress。      The    trooper察   after  taking    a  turn    or  two    in  the   rifle´ 

distance察  and   looking   up   at   the   moon   now   shining   through   the 

skylights察strides to his own mattress by a shorter route察and goes 

to bed too。
