covered with manuscript papers察 and with worn pens察 and a
medley of such tokens。 Touchingly and awfully drawn together察he
and the little mad woman were side by side察and察as it were察alone。
She sat on a chair holding his hand察and none of us went close to
them。
His voice had faded察with the old expression of his face察with his
strength察with his anger察with his resistance to the wrongs that had
at last subdued him。 The faintest shadow of an object full of form
and colour察 is such a picture of it察 as he was of the man from
Shropshire whom we had spoken with before。

He inclined his head to Richard and me察 and spoke to my
Guardian。
^Mr Jarndyce察it is very kind of you to come to see me。 I am not
long to be seen察I think。 I am very glad to take your hand察sir。 You
are a good man察 superior to injustice察 and God knows I honour
you。 ̄
They shook hands earnestly察and my Guardian said some words
of comfort to him。
^It may seem strange to you察 sir察院 returned Gridley察 I should
not have liked to see you察 if this had been the first time of our
meeting。 But察you know察I made a fight for it察you know I stood up
with my single hand against them all察 you know I told them the
truth to the last察and told them what they were察and what they had
done to me察so I don¨t mind your seeing me察this wreck。 ̄
^You have been courageous with them察 many and many a
time察院returned my Guardian。
^Sir察 I have been察院 with a faint smile。 ^I told you what would
come of it察when I ceased to be so察and察see here Look at us look
at us 院 He drew the hand Miss Flite held察 through her arm察 and
brought her something nearer to him。
^This ends it。 Of all my old associations察of all my old pursuits
and hopes察of all the living and the dead world察this one poor soul
alone comes natural to me察and I am fit for。 There is a tie of many
suffering years察between us two察and it is the only tie I ever had on
earth that Chancery has not broken。 ̄
^Accept my blessing察Gridley察院said Miss Flite察in tears。 ^Accept
my blessing 院
^I thought察boastfully察that they never could break my heart察Mr
Jarndyce。 I was resolved that they should not。 I did believe that I

could察and would察charge them with being the mockery they were察
until I died of some bodily disorder。 But I am worn out。 How long I
have been wearing out察I don¨t know察I seemed to break down in
an hour。 I hope they may never come to hear of it。 I hope
everybody here will lead them to believe that I died defying them察
consistently and perseveringly察as I did through so many years。 ̄
Here Mr Bucket察who was sitting in a corner察by the door察good´
naturedly offered such consolation as he could administer。
^Come察 come 院 he said察 from his corner。 ^Don¨t go on in that
way察Mr Gridley。 You are only a little low。 We are all of us a little
low察 sometimes。 I am。 Hold up察 hold up You¨ll lose your temper
with the whole round of ¨em察again and again察and I shall take you
on a score of warrants yet察if I have luck。 ̄
He only shook his head。
^Don¨t shake your head察院said Mr Bucket。 ^Nod it察that¨s what I
want to see you do。 Why察Lord bless your soul察what times we have
had together Haven¨t I seen you in the Fleet over and over again察
for contempt拭 Haven¨t I came into Court twen´ty afternoons察 for
no other purpose than to see you pin the Chancellor like a
bulldog拭 Don¨t you remember察 when you first began to threaten
the lawyers察 and the peace was sworn against you two or three
times a week拭 Ask the little old lady there察 she has been always
present。 Hold up察Mr Gridley察hold up察sir 院
^What are you going to do about him拭院asked George in a low
voice。
^I don¨t know yet察院 said Bucket in the same tone。 Then
resuming his encouragement察he pursued aloud此
^Worn out察Mr Gridley拭After dodging me for all these weeks察
and forcing me to climb the roof here like a Tom Cat察and to come

to see you as a Doctor拭 That ain¨t like being worn out。 I should
think not Now I tell you what you want。 You want excitement察
you know察to keep you up察that¨s what you want。 You¨re used to it察
and you can¨t do without it。 I couldn¨t myself。 Very well察 then察
here¨s this warrant got by Mr Tulkinghorn of Lincoln¨s Inn Fields察
and backed into half´a´dozen counties since。 What do you say to
coming along with me察 upon this warrant察 and having a good
angry argument before the magistrates拭 It¨ll do you good察 it¨ll
freshen you up察and get you into training for another turn at the
Chancellor。 Give in拭 Why I am surprised to hear a man of your
energy talk of giving in。 You mustn¨t do that。 You¨re half the fun of
the fair察in the Court of Chancery。 George察you lend Mr Gridley a
hand察 and let¨s see now whether he won¨t be better up than
down。 ̄
^He is very weak察院said the trooper察in a low voice。
^Is he拭院returned Bucket察anxiously。 ^I only want to rouse him。
I don¨t like to see an old acquaintance giving in like this。 It would
cheer him up more than anything if I could make him a little waxy
with me。 He¨s welcome to drop into me察right and left察if he likes。 I
shall never take advantage of it。 ̄
The roof rang with a scream from Miss Flite察which still rings in
my ears。
^O no察 Gridley 院 she cried察 as he fell heavily and calmly back
from before her。 ^Not without my blessing。 After so many years 院
Then the sun was down察the light had gradually stolen from the
roof察and the shadow had crept upward。 But察to me察the shadow of
that pair察 one living and one dead察 fell heavier on Richard¨s
departure察 than the darkness of the darkest night。 And through

Richard¨s farewell words I heard it echoed。
^Of all my old associations察of all my old pursuits and hopes察of
all the living and the dead world察this one poor soul alone comes
natural to me察 and I am fit for。 There is a tie of many suffering
years between us two察and it is the only tie I ever had on earth that
Chancery has not broken 院
