very happy。 ̄ 

    ^That is a good fortune察院said I。 ^But察why is it to be mine拭院

    ^My   dear察院  she   returned察   there¨s   suitability   in   it!you   are   so 

busy察    and   so  neat察  and    so  peculiarly     situated   altogether察    that 

there¨s suitability in it察and it will come to pass。   And   nobody察my 

love察will congratulate you more sincerely on such a marriage than 

I shall。 ̄ 

    It  was   curious   that  this   should make   me   uncomfortable察  but   I 

think it did。 I know it did。 It made me for some part of that night 

quite uncomfortable。 I was so ashamed of my folly察that I did not 

like    to   confess    it  even     to  Ada察   and     that   made     me    more 

uncomfortable still。 I would have given anything not to have been 

so    much    in   the  bright    old   lady¨s   confidence察    if  I  could   have 

possibly declined it。 It gave me the most  inconsistent  opinions   of 

her。   At   one   time   I   thought   she   was   a   storyteller察  and   at   another 

time that she was the pink of truth。 Now察I suspected that she was 

very cunning察next moment察I believed her honest Welsh heart to 

be perfectly innocent and simple。 And察after all察what did it matter

to me察and why did it matter to me拭Why could not I察going up to 

bed   with   my   basket   of   keys察  stop   to   sit   down   by   her   fire察 and 

accommodate myself for a little while to her察at least as well as to 

anybody   else察  and   not   trouble   myself   about   the   harmless   things 

she said to me拭Impelled towards her察as I certainly was察for I was 

very   anxious   that   she   should   like   me察  and   was   very   glad   indeed 

that   she   did察  why   should   I   harp   afterwards察  with   actual   distress 

and pain察on every word she said察and weigh it over and over again 

in twenty scales拭Why was it so worrying to me to have her in our 

house察  and   confidential   to  me   every  night察  when   I   yet  felt   that   it 

was   better   and   safer察    somehow察     that   she   should    be   there   than 

anywhere else拭These were perplexities and contradictions that I 

could not account for。 At least察if  I   could!but  I   shall come   to  all 

that by´and´bye察and it is a mere idleness to go on about it now。 

    So察  when   Mrs   Woodcourt   went   away察  I   was   sorry   to   lose   her察

but   was   relieved   too。   And   then   Caddy   Jellyby   came   down察  and 

Caddy   brought   such   a   packet   of   domestic   news察  that   it   gave   us 

abundant occupation。 

    First察Caddy declared and would at first declare nothing  else 

that I was the best adviser that ever was known。 This察my pet said察

was no news at all察and this察I said察of course察was nonsense。 Then 

Caddy told us that  she   was   going  to be   married   in a   month察  and 

that if Ada and I would be her bridesmaids察she was the happiest 

girl in the world。 To be sure察this was news indeed察and I thought 

we never should have done talking about it察we had so much to say 

to Caddy察and Caddy had to much to say to us。 

    It  seemed      that   Caddy¨s     unfortunate      papa    had    got   over   his 

bankruptcy!^gone            through      the   Gazette察院    was    the   expression 

Caddy used察as if it were a tunnel察with the general clemency and

commiseration   of   his   creditors察  and   had   got   rid   of   his   affairs   in 

some blessed manner察without succeeding in understanding them察

and had given up everything  he  possessed   which  was not  worth 

much I should think察to judge from the state of the furniture察and 

had satisfied every one concerned that he could do no more察poor 

man。   So察  he   had   been   honourably   dismissed   to   ^the   office察院       to 

begin   the   world   again。   What   he   did   at   the   office察  I   never   knew此

Caddy said he was a ^Custom´House and General Agent察院and the 

only thing I   ever  understood   about  that  business  was察 that  when 

he wanted money  more   than   usual   he   went  to  the   Docks  to  look 

for it察and hardly ever found it。 

   As   soon   as   her   papa   had   tranquillised   his   mind   by   becoming 

this shorn lamb察and they had removed to a furnished lodging in 

Hatton   Garden   where   I   found   the   children察  when   I   afterwards 

went there察cutting the horsehair out of the seats of the chairs察and 

choking themselves with it察Caddy had brought about  a  meeting 

between him and old Mr Turveydrop察and poor Mr Jellyby察being 

very     humble      and    meek察    had    deferred     to   Mr    Turveydrop¨s 

Deportment        so   submissively察     that   they   had    become     excellent 

friends。 By degrees察old Mr Turveydrop察thus familiarised with the 

idea of his son¨s marriage察had worked up his parental feelings to 

the height of contemplating that event as being near at hand察and 

had given his   gracious   consent  to  the   young  couple commencing 

housekeeping        at   the  Academy       in  Newman       Street察   when    they 

would。 

    ^And your papa察Caddy。 What did he say拭院

    ^O   poor   Pa察院  said   Caddy察   only   cried察  and   said   he   hoped   we 

might get on better than he and Ma had got on。 He didn¨t say so 

before   Prince察 he   only said   so  to  me。   And   he said察   My  poor  girl察

you have not been very well taught how to make a home for your 

husband察but unless you mean with all your heart to strive to do it察

you   had   better   murder   him   than   marry   him!if   you   really   love 

him。¨ ̄ 

    ^And how did you reassure him察Caddy拭院

    ^Why察it was very distressing察you know察to see poor Pa so low察

and hear him say such terrible things察and I couldn¨t help crying 

myself。 But I told him that I did mean it with all my heart察and that 

I hoped our house would be a place for him to come and find some 

comfort in察of an evening察and that I hoped and thought I could be 

a better daughter  to  him   there察  than at  home。   Then   I mentioned 

Peepy¨s coming to stay with me察and then Pa began to cry again察

and said the children were Indians。 ̄ 

    ^Indians察Caddy拭院

    ^Yes察院   said   Caddy。   ^Wild    Indians。   And    Pa  said察院here      she 

began   to   sob察  poor   girl察 not   at   all  like  the  happiest   girl  in  the 

world!^that he was sensible the best thing that could happen to 

them was察their being all Tomahawked together。 ̄ 

   Ada suggested that it was comfortable to know that Mr Jellyby 

did not mean these destructive sentiments。 

    ^No察   of  course    I  know    Pa   wouldn¨t     like  his  family    to  be 

weltering in their blood察院said Caddy察 but he means that they are 

very    unfortunate     in  being    Ma¨s   children察   and   that  he   is  very 

unfortunate in being Ma¨s husband察I am sure that¨s true察though 

it seems unnatural to say so。 ̄ 

   I   asked   Caddy   if   Mrs   Jellyby   knew   that   her   wedding´day   was 

fixed。 

    ^O    you    know    what     Ma    is察 Esther察院   she   returned。     ^It¨s 

impossible to say whether she knows it or not。 She has been told it
