head察 and tomorrow night that boy will be here察 and tomorrow
night Mrs Snagsby will have her eye upon him and upon some one
else察and O you may walk a long while in your secret ways says
Mrs Snagsby察 with haughtiness and scorn察 but you can¨t blind
ME
Mrs Snagsby sounds no timbrel in anybody¨s ears察 but holds
her purpose quietly察and keeps her counsel。 Tomorrow comes察the
savoury preparations for the Oil Trade come察the evening comes。
Comes察Mr Snagsby in his black coat察come察the Chadbands察come
when the gorging vessel is replete察the ¨prentices and Guster察to
be edified察comes察at last察with his slouching head察and his shuffle

backward察and his shuffle forward察and his shuffle to the right察and
his shuffle to the left察 and his bit of fur cap in his muddy hand察
which he picks as if it were some mangy bird he had caught察and
was plucking before eating raw察 Jo察 the very察 very tough subject
Mr Chadband is to improve。
Mrs Snagsby screws a watchful glance on Jo察as he is brought
into the little drawing´room by Guster。 He looks at Mr Snagsby the
moment he comes in。 Aha Why does he look at Mr Snagsby拭Mr
Snagsby looks at him。 Why should he do that察 but that Mrs
Snagsby sees it all拭Why else should that look pass between them察
why else should Mr Snagsby be confused察 and cough a signal
cough behind his hand拭It is as clear as crystal that Mr Snagsby is
that boy¨s father。
^Peace察my friends察院says Chadband察rising and wiping the oily
exudations from his reverend visage。 ^Peace be with us My
friends察 why with us拭 Because察院 with his fat smile察 it cannot be
against us察because it must be for us察because it is not hardening察
because it is softening察 because it does not make war like the
hawk察 but comes home untoe us like the dove。 Therefore察 my
friends察peace be with us My human boy察come forward 院
Stretching forth his flabby paw察Mr Chadband lays the same on
Jo¨s arm察and considers where to station him。 Jo察very doubtful of
his reverend friend¨s intentions察 and not at all clear but that
something practical and painful is going to be done to him察
mutters察 You let me alone。 I never said nothink to you。 You let me
alone。 ̄
^No察my young friend察院says Chadband察smoothly察 I will not let
you alone。 And why拭Because I am a harvest´labourer察because I
am a toiler and a moiler察because you are delivered over untoe me察

and are become as a precious instrument in my hands。 My friends察
may I so employ this instrument as to use it toe your advantage察
toe your profit察 toe your gain察 toe your welfare察 toe your
enrichment My young friend察sit upon this stool。 ̄
Jo察 apparently possessed by an impression that the reverend
gentleman wants to cut his hair察shields his head with both arms察
and is got into the required position with great difficulty察 and
every possible manifestation of reluctance。
When he is at last adjusted like a lay´figure察 Mr Chadband察
retiring behind the table察holds up his bear¨s´paw察and says察 My
friends 院 This is the signal for a general settlement of the
audience。 The ¨prentices giggle internally察and nudge each other。
Guster falls into a staring and vacant state察 compounded of a
stunned admiration of Mr Chadband and pity for the friendless
outcast whose condition touches her nearly。 Mrs Snagsby silently
lays trains of gunpowder。 Mrs Chadband composes herself grimly
by the fire察 and warms her knees此 finding that sensation
favourable to the reception of eloquence。
It happens that Mr Chadband has a pulpit habit of fixing some
member of his congregation with his eye察 and fatly arguing his
points with that particular person察 who is understood to be
expected to be moved to an occasional grunt察groan察gasp察or other
audible expression of inward working察which expression of inward
working察being echoed by some elderly lady in the next pew察and
so communicated察like a game of forfeits察 through a circle of the
more fermentable sinners present察 serves the purpose of
parliamentary cheering察and gets Mr Chadband¨s steam up。 From
mere force of habit察 Mr Chadband in saying ^my friends 院 has
rested his eye on Mr Snagsby察 and proceeds to make that ill´

starred stationer察 already sufficiently confused察 the immediate
recipient of his discourse。
^We have here among us察 my friends察院 says Chadband察 a
Gentile and a Heathen察a dweller in the tents of Tom´all´Alone¨s察
and a mover´on upon the surface of the earth。 We have here
among us察 my friends察院 and Mr Chadband察 untwisting the point
with his dirty thumbnail察 bestows an oily smile on Mr Snagsby察
signifying that he will throw him an argumentative back!fall
presently if he be not already down察 a brother and a boy。 Devoid
of parents察devoid of relations察devoid of flocks and herds察devoid
of gold and silver察and of precious stones。 Now察my friends察why do
I say he is devoid of these possessions拭 Why拭 Why is he拭院 Mr
Chadband states the question as if he were propounding an
entirely new riddle察of much ingenuity and merit察to Mr Snagsby察
and entreating him not to give it up。 Mr Snagsby察 greatly
perplexed by the mysterious look he received just now from his
little woman!at about the period when Mr Chadband mentioned
the word parents!is tempted into modestly remarking察 I don¨t
know察I¨m sure察sir。 ̄ On which interruption察Mrs Chadband glares察
and Mrs Snagsby says察 For shame 院
^I hear a voice察院 says Chadband察 is it a still small voice察 my
friends拭I fear not察though I fain would hope so! ̄
─Ah´h 院from Mrs Snagsby。
^Which says察I don¨t know。 Then I will tell you why。 I say this
brother察 present here among us察 is devoid of parents察 devoid of
relations察devoid of flocks and herds察devoid of gold察of silver察and
of precious stones察because he is devoid of the light that shines in
upon some of us。 What is that light拭What is it拭I ask you what is
that light拭院

Mr Chadband draws back his head and pauses察but Mr Snagsby
is not to be lured on to his destruction again。 Mr Chadband察
leaning forward over the table察pierces what he has got to follow察
directly int
