either of the windows。 There is a press in the room察but its hinges
have not creaked察nor has a step been audible upon the floor。 Yet
this third person stands there察with his attentive face察and his hat

and stick in his hands察and his hands behind him察a composed and
quiet listener。 He is a stoutly´built察 steady´looking察 sharp´eyed
man in black察of about the middle´age。 Except that he looks at Mr
Snagsby as if he were going to take his portrait察 there is nothing
remarkable about him at first sight but his ghostly manner of
appearing。
^Don¨t mind this gentleman察院says Mr Tulkinghorn察in his quiet
way。 ^This is only Mr Bucket。 ̄
^Oh indeed察sir拭院returns the stationer察expressing by a cough
that he is quite in the dark as to who Mr Bucket may be。
^I wanted him to hear this story察院 says the lawyer察 because I
have half a mind for a reason to know more of it察and he is very
intelligent in such things。 What do you say to this察Bucket拭院
^It¨s very plain察sir。 Since our people have moved this boy on察
and he¨s not to be found on his old lay察if Mr Snagsby don¨t object
to go down with me to Tom´all´Alone¨s and point him out察we can
have him here in less than a couple of hours¨ time。 I can do it
without Mr Snagsby察of course察but this is the shortest way。 ̄
^Mr Bucket is a detective officer察Snagsby察院says the lawyer in
explanation。
^Is he indeed察sir拭院says Mr Snagsby察with a strong tendency in
his clump of hair to stand on end。
^And if you have no real objection to accompany Mr Bucket to
the place in question察院pursues the lawyer察 I shall feel obliged to
you if you will do so。 ̄
In a moment¨s hesitation on the part of Mr Snagsby察 Bucket
dips down to the bottom of his mind。
^Don¨t you be afraid of hurting the boy察院he says。 ^You won¨t do
that。 It¨s all right as far as the boy¨s concerned。 We shall only bring

him here to ask him a question or so I want to put to him察and he¨ll
be paid for his trouble察and sent away again。 It¨ll be a good job for
him。 I promise you察as man察that you shall see the boy sent away
all right。 Don¨t you be afraid of hurting him察you an¨t going to do
that。 ̄
^Very well察Mr Tulkinghorn 院cries Mr Snagsby cheerfully察and
reassured察 since that¨s the case! ̄
^Yes and lookee here察 Mr Snagsby察院 resumes Bucket察 taking
him aside by the arm察 tapping him familiarly on the breast察 and
speaking in a confidential tone。 ^You¨re a man of the world察 you
know察 and a man of business察 and a man of sense。 ^That¨s what
you are。 ̄
^I am sure I am much obliged to you for your good opinion察院
returns the stationer察with his cough of modesty察 but! ̄
^That¨s what you are察 you know察院 says Bucket。 ^Now察 it an¨t
necessary to say to a man like you察 engaged in your business察
which is a business of trust and requires a person to be wide
awake and have his senses about him察 and his head screwed on
tight I had an uncle in your business once!it an¨t necessary to
say to a man like you察that it¨s the best and wisest way to keep little
matters like this quiet。 Don¨t you see拭Quiet 院
^Certainly察certainly察院returns the stationer。
^I don¨t mind telling you察院 says Bucket察 with an engaging
appearance of frankness察 that察as far as I can understand it察there
seems to be a doubt whether this dead person wasn¨t entitled to a
little property察 and whether this female hasn¨t been up to some
games respecting that property察don¨t you see 院
^O 院says Mr Snagsby察but not appearing to see quite distinctly。
^Now察 what you want察院 pursues Bucket察 again tapping Mr

Snagsby on the breast in a comfortable and soothing manner察 is察
that every person should have their rights according to justice。
That¨s what you want。 ̄
^To be sure察院returns Mr Snagsby with a nod。
^On account of which察and at the same time to oblige a!do you
call it察in your business察customer or client拭I forget how my uncle
used to call it。 ̄
^Why察I generally say customer myself察院replies Mr Snagsby。
^You¨re right 院 returns Mr Bucket察 shaking hands with him
quite affectionately察^on account of which察and at the same time
to oblige a real good customer察you mean to go down with me察in
confidence察to Tom´all´Alone¨s察and to keep the whole thing quiet
ever afterwards and never mention it to any one。 That¨s about
your intentions if I understand you。 ̄
^You are right察sir。 You are right察院says Mr Snagsby。
^Then here¨s your hat察院 returns his new friend察 quite as
intimate with it as if he had made it察 and if you¨re ready察I am。 ̄
They leave Mr Tulkinghorn察without a ruffle on the surface of
his unfathomable depths察drinking his old wine察and go down into
the streets。
^You don¨t happen to know a very good sort of person of the
name of Gridley察do you拭院says Bucket察in a friendly converse as
they descend the stairs。
^No察院says Mr Snagsby察considering察 I don¨t know anybody of
that name。 Why拭院
^Nothing particular察院 says Bucket察 only察 having allowed his
temper to get a little the better of him察 and having been
threatening some respectable people察he is keeping out of the way
of a warrant I have got against him!which it¨s a pity that a man of

sense should do。 ̄
As they walk along察 Mr Snagsby observes察 as a novelty察 that察
however quick their pace may be察 his companion still seems in
some undefinable manner to lurk and lounge察also察that whenever
he is going to turn to the right or left察he pretends to have a fixed
purpose in his mind of going straight ahead察 and wheels off察
sharply察at the very last moment。 Now and then察when they pass a
police constable on his beat察 Mr Snagsby notices that both the
constable and his guide fall into a deep abstraction as they come
towards each other察 and appear entirely to overlook each other
and to gaze into space。 In a few instances察 Mr Bucket察 coming
behind some undersized young man with a shining hat on察and his
sleek hair twisted into one flat curl on each side of his head察almost
without glancing at him touches him with his stick察 upon which
the young man察looking round察instantly evaporates。 For the most
part Mr Bucket notices things in general with a face as
unchanging as the great mourning ring on his little finger察or the
