kissed me。 In short察she had such a  natural察captivating察  winning 

manner察that in a few minutes we were sitting in the window´seat察

with   the   light   of   the   fire   upon   us察  talking   together察  as   free   and 

happy as could be。 

    What a load off my mind It was so delightful to know that she 

could   confide   in   me察  and   like   me   It   was   so   good   of   her察  and   so 

encouraging to me 

    The young gentleman was her distant cousin察she told me察and 

his   name   Richard   Carstone。   He   was   a   handsome   youth察  with   an 

ingenuous   face察  and   a   most   engaging   laugh察  and   after   she        had 

called him up to where we sat察he stood by us察in the light of the

fire too察talking gaily察like a light´hearted boy。 He was very young察

not   more   than   nineteen   then察  if   quite   so   much察  but   nearly   two 

years older than she was。 They were both orphans察and what was 

very   unexpected   and   curious   to   me   had   never   met   before   that 

day。   Our  all   three   coming   together   for   the   first   time察  in   such   an 

unusual place察was a   thing  to  talk about察  and  we   talked about  it察

and the fire察which had left off roaring察winked its red eyes at us! 

as Richard said!like a drowsy old Chancery lion。 

    We conversed in a low tone察because   a   full´dressed   gentleman 

in a bag wig察frequently came in and out察and when he did so察we 

could   hear  a   drawling   sound   in   the   distance察  which   he   said   was 

one of the counsel in our case addressing the Lord Chancellor。 He 

told   Mr  Kenge   that   the   Chancellor   would   be   up   in   five   minutes察

and presently we heard a bustle and a tread of feet察and Mr Kenge 

said   that   the   court   had   risen察  and   his   lordship   was   in   the   next 

room。 

    The gentleman in the bag wig opened the door almost directly察

and requested Mr Kenge to come in。 Upon that察we all went into 

the next room察Mr Kenge first察with my darling!it is so natural to 

me now察that I can¨t help writing it察and there察plainly dressed in 

black察and sitting in an armchair at a table near the fire察  was   his 

lordship察    whose     robe察   trimmed      with   beautiful     gold   lace察  was 

thrown   upon   another   chair。   He   gave   us   a   searching   look   as   we 

entered察but his manner was both courtly and kind。 

    The   gentleman   in   the   bag   wig   laid   bundles   of   papers   on   his 

lordship¨s table察and his lordship silently selected one察and turned 

over the leaves。 

    ^Miss Clare察院said the Lord Chancellor。 ^Miss Ada Clare拭院

    Mr   Kenge   presented   her察  and   his   lordship   begged   her   to   sit

down near him。 That he admired her察and was interested by her察

even   I   could   see   in   a   moment。   It   touched   me察  that   the   home   of 

such a beautiful young creature should be represented by that dry 

official place。 The Lord High Chancellor察at his best察appeared so 

poor a substitute for the love and pride of parents。 

   ^The     Jarndyce     in  question察院   said  the   Lord   Chancellor察    still 

turning over leaves察 is Jarndyce of Bleak House。 ̄ 

   ^Jarndyce of Bleak House察my lord察院said Mr Kenge。 

   ^A dreary name察院said the Lord Chancellor。 

   ^But not a dreary place察at present察my lord察院said Mr Kenge。 

   ^And Bleak House察院said his lordship察 is in! ̄ 

   ^Hertfordshire察my lord。 ̄ 

   ^Mr     Jarndyce     of   Bleak    House    is  not   married拭院     said  his 

lordship。 

   ^He is not察my lord察院said Mr Kenge。 

   A pause。 

   ^Young       Mr   Richard     Carstone     is  present拭院   said   the   Lord 

Chancellor察glancing towards him。 

   Richard bowed and stepped forward。 

   ^Hum 院said the Lord Chancellor察turning over more leaves。 

   ^Mr Jarndyce of Bleak House察my lord察院Mr Kenge observed in 

a low voice察 if I may venture to remind your lordship察provides a 

suitable companion for! ̄ 

   ^For Mr Richard Carstone拭院I thought but I am not quite sure 

I heard his lordship say察in an equally low voice察and with a smile。 

   ^For Miss Ada Clare。 This is the young lady。 Miss Summerson。 ̄ 

His   lordship   gave   me   an   indulgent   look察  and   acknowledged   my 

curtsey very graciously。 

   ^Miss   Summerson   is   not   related   to   any   party   in   the   cause察  I

    ^No察my lord。 ̄ 

    Mr  Kenge   leant   over   before   it   was   quite   said察  and   whispered。 

His lordship察with his eyes upon his papers察listened察nodded twice 

or  thrice察  turned   over  more   leaves察and   did not  look   towards   me 

again察until we were going away。 

    Mr Kenge now retired察and Richard with him察to where I was察

near the door察  leaving my  pet  it  is so  natural   to  me   that again   I 

can¨t   help   it。   sitting   near   the   Lord   Chancellor察  with   whom   his 

lordship spoke a little apart察asking her察as she told me afterwards察

whether she had well reflected on the proposed arrangement察and 

if she thought she would be happy under the roof of Mr Jarndyce 

of   Bleak    House察    and   why    she   thought     so拭  Presently     he   rose 

courteously察and released her察and then he spoke for a minute or 

two     with    Richard     Carstone察     not   seated察   but    standing察    and 

altogether with more ease and less ceremony!as if he still knew察

though he was Lord Chancellor察how to go straight to the candour 

of a boy。 

    ^Very well 院said his lordship aloud。 ^I shall make the order。 Mr 

Jarndyce of Bleak House has chosen察so far as I may judge察院and 

this   was   when   he looked at  me察   a   very   good   companion   for   the 

young   lady察  and     the   arrangement   altogether   seems         the   best   of 

which the circumstances admit。 ̄ 

    He   dismissed   us   pleasantly察  and   we   all   went   out察  very   much 

obliged   to   him   for   being   so   affable   and   polite察  by   which   he   had 

certainly lost no dignity察but seemed to us to have gained some。 

    When we got under the colonnade察Mr Kenge remembered that 

he must go back for a moment to ask a question察and left us in the 

fog察with the Lord Chancellor¨s carriage and   servants   waiting  for

him to come out。 

    ^Well 院said Richard Carstone察   that¨s   over  And  where   do  we 

go next察Miss Summerson拭院

    ^No 院said she。 ^Don¨t you拭院

    ^Not at all 院said I。 

    We   looked   at   one   another察  half  laughing  at   our   being   like   the 

children      in  the   wood察   when     a  curious     little  old  woman      in  a 

squeezed   bonnet察  and   carrying   a   reticule察  came   curtseying   and 

smiling up to us察with an air of great ceremony。
