affectionately察 and often talk of you with Esther察 and!and
perhaps you will sometimes think a little of me察cousin Richard。 So
now察院 said Ada察 going up to him and giving him her trembling
hand察 we are only cousins again察Richard!for the time perhaps!
and I pray for a blessing on my dear cousin whereever he goes 院
It was strange to me that Richard should not be able to forgive
my Guardian察for entertaining the very same opinion of him which
he himself had expressed of himself in much stronger terms to me。
But察 it was certainly the case。 I observed察 with great regret察 that
from this hour he never was as free and open with Mr Jarndyce as
he had been before。 He had every reason given him to be so察but
he was not察and察solely on his side察an estrangement began to arise
between them。
In the business of preparation and equipment he soon lost
himself察and even his grief at parting from Ada察who remained in
Hertfordshire察while he察Mr Jarndyce察and I went up to London for
a week。 He remembered her by fits and starts察even with bursts of
tears察 and at such times would confide to me the heaviest self´
reproaches。 But察in a few minutes he would recklessly conjure up
some undefinable means by which they were both to be made rich
and happy for ever察and would become as gay as possible。
It was a busy time察 and I trotted about with him all day long察
buying a variety of things察of which he stood in need。 Of the things
he would have bought察if he had been left to his own ways察 I say
nothing。 He was perfectly confidential with me察and often talked so
sensibly and feelingly about his faults and his vigorous resolutions察
and dwelt so much upon the encouragement he derived from
these conversations察 that I could never have been tired if I had
tried。

There used察in that week察to come backward and forward to our
lodging察to fence with Richard察a person who had formerly been a
cavalry soldier察 he was a fine bluff´looking man察 of a frank free
bearing察 with whom Richard had practised for some months。 I
heard so much about him察 not only from Richard察 but from my
Guardian too察that I was purposely in the room察with my work察one
morning after breakfast when he came。
^Good morning察Mr George察院said my Guardian察who happened
to be alone with me。 ^Mr Carstone will be here directly。
Meanwhile察Miss Summerson is very happy to see you察I know。 Sit
down。 ̄
He sat down察 a little disconcerted by my presence察 I thought察
and察without looking at me察drew his heavy sunburnt hand across
and across his upper lip。
^You are as punctual as the sun察院said Mr Jarndyce。
^Military time察sir察院he replied。 ^Force of habit。 A mere habit in
me察sir。 I am not at all business´like。 ̄
^Yet you have a large establishment察 too察 I am told拭院 said Mr
Jarndyce。
^Not much of a one察sir。 I keep a shooting gallery察but not much
of a one。 ̄
^And what kind of a shot察 and what kind of a swordsman察 do
you make of Mr Carstone拭院said my Guardian。
^Pretty good察sir察院he replied察folding his arms upon his broad
chest察and looking very large。 ^If Mr Carstone was to give his full
mind to it察he would come out very good。 ̄
^But he don¨t察I suppose拭院said my Guardian。
^He did at first察 sir察 but not afterwards。 Not his full mind。
Perhaps he has something else upon it!some young lady察

perhaps。 ̄ His bright dark eyes glanced at me for the first time。
^He has not me upon his mind察I assure you察Mr George察院said I察
laughing察 though you seem to suspect me。 ̄
He reddened a little through his brown察 and made me a
trooper¨s bow。 ^No offence察I hope察miss。 I am one of the Roughs。 ̄
^Not at all察院said I。 ^I take it as a compliment。 ̄
If he had not looked at me before察he looked at me now察in three
or four quick successive glances。 ^I beg your pardon察sir察院he said
to my Guardian察with a manly kind of diffidence察 but you did me
the honour to mention the young lady¨s name! ̄
^Miss Summerson。 ̄
^Miss Summerson察院he repeated察and looked at me again。
^Do you know the name拭院I asked。
^No察miss。 To my knowledge察I never heard it。 I thought I had
seen you somewhere。 ̄
^I think not察院I returned察raising my head from my work to look
at him察 and there was something so genuine in his speech and
manner察 that I was glad of the opportunity。 ^I remember faces
very well。 ̄
^So do I察miss 院he returned察meeting my look with the fulness
of his dark eyes and broad forehead。 ^Humph What set me off察
now察upon that 院
His once more reddening through his brown察 and being
disconcerted by his efforts to remember the association察 brought
my Guardian to his relief。
^Have you many pupils察Mr George拭院
^They vary in their number察sir。 Mostly察they¨re but a small lot
to live by。 ̄
^And what classes of chance people come to practise at your

gallery拭院
^All sorts察 sir。 Natives and foreigners。 From gentlemen to
¨prentices。 I have had French women come察before now察and show
themselves dabs at pistol´shooting。 Mad people out of number察of
course!but they go everywhere察where the doors stand open。 ̄
^People don¨t come with grudges and schemes of finishing their
practice with live targets察I hope拭院said my Guardian察smiling。
^Not much of that察sir察though that has happened。 Mostly they
come for skill!or idleness。 Six of one察 and half a dozen of the
other。 I beg your pardon察院said Mr George察 sitting stiffly upright察
and squaring an elbow on each knee察 but I believe you¨re a
Chancery suitor察if I have heard correct拭院
^I am sorry to say I am。 ̄
^I have had one of your compatriots in my time察sir。 ̄
^A Chancery suitor拭院returned my Guardian。 ^How was that拭院
^Why察the man was so badgered察and worried察and tortured察by
being knocked about from post to pillar察and from pillar to post察院
said Mr George察 that he got out of sorts。 I don¨t believe he had
any idea of taking aim at anybody察but he was in that condition of
resentment and violence察 that he would come and pay for fifty
shots察and fire away till he was red hot。 One day I said to him when
there was nobody by察and he had been talking to me angrily about
his wrongs察 If this practice is a safety´valve察 comrade察 well and
good察but I don¨t altogether like your being so bent upon it察in your
present
