leaning forward over the table察pierces what he has got to follow察
directly into Mr Snagsby察with the thumbnail already mentioned。
^It is察院 says Chadband察 the ray of rays察 the sun of suns察 the
moon of moons察the star of stars。 It is the light of Terewth。 ̄
Mr Chadband draws himself up again察and looks triumphantly
at Mr Snagsby察as if he would be glad to know how he feels after
that。
^Of Terewth察院says Mr Chadband察 hitting him again。 ^Say not
to me that it is not the lamp of lamps。 I say to you察it is。 I say to you察
a million of times over察it is。 It is I say to you that I will proclaim it
to you察whether you like it or not察nay察that the less you like it察the
more I will proclaim it to you。 With a speaking´trumpet I say to
you that if you rear yourself against it察you shall fall察you shall be
bruised察 you shall be battered察 you shall be flawed察 you shall be
smashed。 ̄
The present effect of this flight of oratory!much admired for
its general power by Mr Chadband¨s followers!being not only to
make Mr Chadband unpleasantly warm察 but to represent the
innocent Mr Snagsby in the light of a determined enemy to virtue察
with a forehead of brass and a heart of adamant察that unfortunate
tradesman becomes yet more disconcerted察 and is in a very
advanced state of low spirits and false position察 when Mr
Chadband accidentally finishes him。
^My friends察院he resumes察after dabbing his fat head for some
time!and it smokes to such an extent that he seems to light his
pocket´handkerchief at it察which smokes察too察after every dab!^to

improve察let us in a spirit of love inquire what is that Terewth to
which I have alluded。 For察 my young friends察院 suddenly
addressing the ¨prentices and Guster察to their consternation察 if I
am told by the doctor that calomel or castor´oil is good for me察 I
may naturally ask what is calomel察 and what is castor´oil。 I may
wish to be informed of that察 before I dose myself with either or
with both。 Now察 my young friends察 what is this Terewth察 then拭
Firstly in a spirit of love察what is the common sort of Terewth!

─Ah´h 院from Mrs Snagsby。
^Is it suppression拭院
A shiver in the negative from Mrs Snagsby。
^Is it reservation拭院
A shake of the head from Mrs Snagsby!very long and very
tight。
^No察my friends察 it is neither of these。 Neither of these names
belongs to it。 When this young Heathen now among us!who is
now察 my friends察 asleep察 the seal of indifference and perdition
being set upon his eyelids察but do not wake him察for it is right that
I should have to wrestle察 and to combat and to struggle察 and to
conquer察for his sake!when this young hardened Heathen told us
a story of a Cock察and of a Bull察and of a lady察and of a sovereign察

If Mr Snagsby could withstand his little woman¨s look察 as it
enters at his eyes察the windows of his soul察and searches the whole
tenement察 he were other than the man he is。 He cowers and
droops。

^Or察 my juvenile friends察院 says Chadband察 descending to the
level of their comprehension察with a very obtrusive demonstration察
in his greasily meek smile察of coming a long way downstairs for the
purpose察 if the master of this house was to go forth into the city
and there see an eel察and was to come back察and was to call untoe
him the mistress of this house察and was to say察 Sarah察rejoice with
me察for I have seen an elephant would that be Terewth拭院
Mrs Snagsby in tears。
^Or put it察 my juvenile friends察 that he saw an elephant察 and
returning said `Lo察the city is barren察I have seen but an eel察 would
that be Terewth拭院
Mrs Snagsby sobbing loudly。
^Or put it察my juvenile friends察院says Chadband察stimulated by
the sound察 that the unnatural parents of this slumbering
Heathen!for parents he had察 my juvenile friends察 beyond a
doubt!after casting him forth to the wolves and the vultures察and
the wild dogs and the young gazelles察and the serpents察went back
to their dwellings and had their pipes察 and their pots察 and their
flutings and their dancings察 and their malt liquors察 and their
butcher¨s meat and poultry察would that be Terewth 院
Mrs Snagsby replies by delivering herself a prey to spasms察not
an unresisting prey察but a crying and a tearing one察so that Cook¨s
Court re´echoes with her shrieks。 Finally察becoming cataleptic察she
has to be carried up the narrow staircase like a grand piano。 After
unspeakable suffering察 productive of the utmost consternation察
she is pronounced察by expresses from the bedroom察free from pain察
though much exhausted察 in which state of affairs Mr Snagsby察
trampled and crushed in the piano´forte removal察 and extremely
timid and feeble察ventures to come out from behind the door in the

All this time察Jo has been standing on the spot where he woke
up察ever picking his cap察and putting bits of fur in his mouth。 He
spits them out with a remorseful air察 for he feels that it is in his
nature to be an unimprovable reprobate察and that it¨s no good his
trying to keep awake察for he won¨t never know nothink。 Though it
may be察Jo察that there is a history so interesting and affecting even
to minds as near the brutes as thine察recording deeds done on this
earth for common men察that if the Chadbands察removing their own
persons from the light察would but show it thee in simple reverence察
would but leave it unimproved察 would but regard it as being
eloquent enough without their modest aid!it might hold thee
awake察and thou might learn from it yet
Jo never heard of any such book。 Its compilers察 and the
Reverend Chadband察are all one to him!except that he knows the
Reverend Chadband察and would rather run away from him for an
hour than hear him talk for five minutes。 ^It an¨t no good my
waiting here no longer察院thinks Jo。 ^Mr Snagsby an¨t a going to say
nothink to me tonight。 ̄ And downstairs he shuffles。
But downstairs is the charitable Guster察 holding by the hand´
rail of the kitchen stairs察and warding off a fit察 as yet doubtfully察
the same having been induced by Mrs Snagsby¨s screaming。 She
has her own supper of bread and cheese to hand to Jo察with whom
she ventures to interchange a word or so
