entertainments。 ^Sooner than which察myself察院says Mrs Perkins察 I
would get my living by selling lucifers。 ̄ Mrs Piper察 as in duty
bound察 is of the same opinion察 holding that a private station is
better than public applause察 and thanking Heaven for her own
and察 by implication察 Mrs Perkins¨s respectability。 By this time察
the pot´boy of the Sol¨s Arms appearing with her supper´pint well
frothed察Mrs Piper accepts that tankard and retires indoors察 first
giving a fair good night to Mrs Perkins察who has had her own pint
in her hand ever since it was fetched from the same hostelry by
young Perkins before he was sent to bed。 Now察there is a sound of

putting up shop´shutters in the court察 and a smell as of the
smoking of pipes察and shooting stars are seen in upper windows察
further indicating retirement to rest。 Now察 too察 the policeman
begins to push at doors察 to try fastenings察 to be suspicious of
bundles察 and to administer his beat察 on the hypothesis that
everyone is either robbing or being robbed。
It is a close night察though the damp cold is searching too察 and
there is a laggard mist a little way up in the air。 It is a fine
steaming night to turn the slaughterhouses察 the unwholesome
trades察 the sewerage察 bad water察 and burial grounds to account察
and give the Registrar of Deaths some extra business。 It may be
something in the air!there is plenty in it!or it may be something
in himself察 that is in fault察 but Mr Weevle察 otherwise Jobling察 is
very ill at ease。 He comes and goes察between his own room and the
open street door察twenty times an hour。 He has been doing so察ever
since it fell dark。 Since the Chancellor shut up his shop察which he
did very early tonight察 Mr Weevle has been down and up察 and
down and up with a cheap tight velvet skull´cap on his head察
making his whiskers look out of all proportion察 oftener than
before。
It is no phenomenon that Mr Snagsby should be ill at ease too察
for he always is so察more or less察under the oppressive influence of
the secret that is upon him。 Impelled by the mystery察of which he
is a partaker察 and yet in which he is not a sharer察 Mr Snagsby
haunts what seems to be its fountain´head!the rag and bottle
shop in the court。 It has an irresistible attraction for him。 Even
now察coming round by the Sol¨s Arms with the intention of passing
down the court察 and out at the Chancery Lane end察 and so
terminating his unpremeditated after´supper stroll of ten minutes

long from his own door and back again察Mr Snagsby approaches。
^What察Mr Weevle拭院says the stationer察stopping to speak。 ^Are
you there拭院
^Ay 院says Weevle。 ^Here I am察Mr Snagsby。 ̄
^Airing yourself察 as I am doing察 before you go to bed拭院 the
stationer inquires。
^Why察there¨s not much air to be got here察and what there is察is
not very freshening察院Weevle answers察glancing up and down the
court。
^Very true察sir。 Don¨t you observe察院 says Mr Snagsby察pausing
to sniff and taste the air a little察 don¨t you observe察 Mr Weevle察
that you¨re!not to put too fine a point upon it!that you¨re rather
greasy here察sir拭院
^Why察I have noticed myself that there is a queer kind of flavour
in the place tonight察院Mr Weevle rejoins。 ^I suppose it¨s chops at
the Sol¨s Arms。 ̄
^Chops察do you think拭Oh Chops察eh拭院Mr Snagsby sniffs and
tastes again。 ^Well察sir察I suppose it is。 But I should say their cook
at the Sol wanted a little looking after。 She has been burning ¨em察
sir And I don¨t think察院 Mr Snagsby sniffs and tastes again察 and
then spits and wipes his mouth察 I don¨t think!not to put too fine
a point upon it!that they were quite fresh察when they were shown
the gridiron。 ̄
^That¨s very likely。 It¨s a tainting sort of weather。 ̄
^It is a tainting sort of weather察院says Mr Snagsby察 and I find it
sinking to the spirits。 ̄
^By George I find it gives me the horrors察院returns Mr Weevle。
^Then察you see察you live in a lonesome way察and in a lonesome
room察 with a black circumstance hanging over it察院 says Mr

Snagsby察 looking in past the other¨s shoulder along the dark
passage察 and then falling back a step to look up at the house。 ^I
couldn¨t live in that room alone察 as you do察 sir。 I should get so
fidgetty and worried of an evening察 sometimes察 that I should be
driven to come to the door察and stand here察sooner than sit there。
But then it¨s very true that you didn¨t see察 in your room察 what I
saw there。 That makes a difference。 ̄
^I know quite enough about it察院returns Tony。
^It¨s not agreeable察 is it拭院 pursues Mr Snagsby察 coughing his
cough of mild persuasion behind his hand。 ^Mr Krook ought to
consider it in the rent。 I hope he does察I am sure。 ̄
^I hope he does察院says Tony。 ^But I doubt it 院
^You find the rent high察 do you察 sir察院 returns the stationer。
^Rents are high about here。 I don¨t know how it is exactly察but the
law seems to put things up in price。 Not察院adds Mr Snagsby察with
his apologetic cough察 that I mean to say a word against the
profession I get my living by。 ̄
Mr Weevle again glances up and down the court察and then looks
at the stationer。 Mr Snagsby察 blankly catching his eye察 looks
upward for a star or so察 and coughs a cough expressive of not
exactly seeing his way out of this conversation。
^It¨s a curious fact察sir察院he observes察slowly rubbing his hands察
^that he should have been! ̄
^Who¨s he拭院interrupts Mr Weevle。
^The deceased察 you know察院 says Mr Snagsby察 twitching his
head and right eyebrow towards the staircase察 and tapping his
acquaintance on the button。
^Ah to be sure 院returns the other察as if he were not overfond of
the subject。 ^I thought we had done with him。 ̄

^I was only going to say察it¨s a curious fact察sir察 that he should
have come and lived here察and been one of my writers察 and then
that you should come and live here察and be one of my writers察too。
Which there is nothing derogatory察 but far from it in the
appellation察院says Mr Snagsby察breaking off with a mistrust that he
may have unpolitely asserted a kind of pr
