according to what I see。 ̄ Then he hoarsely whispered Charley。 ^If 

she ain¨t the t¨other one察she ain¨t the forrenner。 Is there three  of 

¨em then拭院

    Charley looked at me a little frightened。 I felt half frightened at 

myself when the boy glared on me so。 

    But    he  turned     and   followed    when     I  beckoned      to  him察  and 

finding that he acknowledged that influence in me察I led the way 

straight  home。   It   was   not   far察  only   at   the   summit   of   the   hill。   We 

passed     but   one    man。    I  doubted     if  we  should     have   got   home 

without      assistance察    the   boy¨s    steps    were    so    uncertain     and 

tremulous。   He   made   no   complaint察  however察  and   was   strangely 

unconcerned about himself察if I may say so strange a thing。 

    Leaving him in the hall for a moment察shrunk into a corner of 

the    window´seat察     and    staring    with   an   indifference     that   could 

scarcely   be   called   wonder察  at   the   comfort   and   brightness   about 

him察I went into the drawing´room to speak to my Guardian。 There 

I   found   Mr   Skimpole察  who   had   come   down   by   the   coach察  as   he 

frequently did without notice察and never bringing any clothes with 

him察but always borrowing everything he wanted。 

    They     came    out   with    me   directly察  to  look    at  the   boy。   The 

servants     had   gathered     in  the   hall察 too察 and   he   shivered    in  the 

window´seat   with   Charley   standing   by   him察  like   some   wounded

animal that had been found in a ditch。 

    ^This is a sorrowful case察院said my Guardian察after asking him a 

question or two察and touching him察and examining his eyes。 ^What 

do you say察Harold拭院

    ^You had better turn him out察院said Mr Skimpole。 

    ^What do you mean拭院inquired my Guardian察almost sternly。 

    ^My dear Jarndyce察院said Mr Skimpole察 you know what I am此I 

am     a  child。   Be    cross    to  me察   if  I  deserve    it。  But   I  have    a 

constitutional objection to this sort of thing。 I always had察when I 

was   a medical   man。   He¨s not  safe察  you  know。   There¨s a   very  bad 

sort of fever about him。 ̄ 

    Mr Skimpole had retreated from the hall to  the   drawing´room 

again察and said   this in   his   airy  way察  seated   on   the   music´stool as 

we stood by。 

    ^You¨ll   say  it¨s childish察院 observed   Mr   Skimpole察  looking   gaily 

at   us。   ^Well察  I   dare   say   it   may   be察  but   I   am   a   child察  and   I   never 

pretend   to  be anything   else。   If   you   put   him   out   in   the   road察  you 

only put him where he was before。 He will be no worse off than he 

was察  you   know。   Even   make   him   better   off察  if   you   like。   Give   him 

sixpence察      or    five   shillings察    or   five    pound      ten!you        are 

arithmeticians察and I am not!and get rid of him 院

    ^And what is he to do then拭院asked my Guardian。 

    ^Upon my life察院said Mr Skimpole察shrugging his shoulders with 

his engaging smile察 I have not the least idea what he is to do then。 

But I have no doubt he¨ll do it。 ̄ 

    ^Now察    is  it  not  a  horrible    reflection察院   said  my    Guardian察    to 

whom   I   had   hastily   explained   the   unavailing   efforts   of   the   two 

women察 is it not a horrible reflection察院walking up and down and 

rumpling his hair察 that if this wretched creature were a convicted

prisoner察his hospital would be wide open to him察and he would be 

as well taken care of as any sick boy in the kingdom。 ̄ 

    ^My dear Jarndyce察院returned Mr Skimpole察 you¨ll pardon the 

simplicity of the question察coming as it does from a creature who is 

perfectly simple in worldly  matters!but察  why  isn¨t  he  a   prisoner 

then拭院

    My    Guardian      stopped    and    looked    at  him   with   a  whimsical 

mixture of amusement and indignation in his face。 

    ^Our   young   friend   is   not   to   be  suspected     of   any  delicacy察  I 

should   imagine察院  said   Mr   Skimpole察  unabashed   and   candid。   ^It 

seems to me that it would be wiser察as well as in a certain kind of 

way more respectable察if he showed some misdirected energy that 

got him into prison。 There would be more of an adventurous spirit 

in it察and consequently more of a certain sort of poetry。 ̄ 

    ^I believe察院returned my Guardian察resuming his  uneasy  walk察

^that there is not such another child on earth as yourself。 ̄ 

    ^Do you really拭院said Mr Skimpole察 I dare say But察I confess I 

don¨t see why our young friend察in his degree察should not seek to 

invest himself with such poetry as is open to him。 He is no doubt 

born   with   an   appetite!probably察  when   he   is   in   a   safer   state   of 

health察   he   has   an  excellent    appetite。    Very   well。   At  our   young 

friend¨s   natural   dinner   hour察  most   likely   about   noon察  our   young 

friend   says   in   effect   to   society察   I   am   hungry察  will   you   have   the 

goodness to produce your spoon察and feed me拭 Society察which has 

taken upon itself the general arrangement of the whole system of 

spoons察and professes to have a spoon for our young friend察does 

not produce that spoon察and our young friend察therefore察says `You 

really must excuse me if I seize it。¨ Now察this appears to me a case 

of misdirected energy察which has a certain amount of reason in it察

and   a   certain   amount   of   romance察  and   I   don¨t   know   but   what   I 

should be more interested in our young friend察as an illustration of 

such a case察than merely as a poor vagabond!which any one can 

be。 ̄ 

    ^In the meantime察院I ventured to observe察 he is getting worse。 ̄ 

    ^In    the  meantime察院      said   Mr   Skimpole      cheerfully察    as   Miss 

Summerson察with her practical good sense察observes察he is getting 

worse。   Therefore   I   recommend   your   turning   him   out   before   he 

gets still worse。 ̄ 

    The   amiable   face   with   which   he   said   it察  I   think   I   shall   never 

forget。 

    ^Of   course察  little   woman察院  observed   my   Guardian察  turning   to 

me察 I can ensure   his admission into  the   proper  place by  merely 

going there to enforce it察though it¨s a bad state of things when察in 

his condition察that is necessary。 But it¨s growing late察and is a very 

bad night察and the boy is worn out already。 There is a bed in the 

wholesome loft´room by the stable察we had better keep him there 

till morning察when he can be wrapped up and   removed。   We¨ll   do 

that。 ̄ 

    ^O 院  said   Mr   Skimpole察  with   his   hands   upon   the   keys   of   the 

piano察   as   we   moved     away。   ^Are    you   going   back    to  our   young 

friend拭院

    ^Yes察院said my Guardian。 

    ^How   I    envy   you   your   constitution察    Jarndyce 院     returned   Mr 

Skimpole察with playful admiration。 ^You don¨t mind these things察

neither   does   Miss   Summerson。   You   are   ready   at   all   times   to   go 

anywhere察and do anything。 Such is Will I have no Will at all!and 

no Won¨t!simply Can¨t。 ̄ 

    ^You can¨t recommend anything  for  the   boy察  I suppose拭院said
