   Mr Guppy nods。 

    ^Why察     I   wouldn¨t     pass    another      night    there察   for   any 

consideration that you could offer me察院says Mr Weevle haggardly 

staring。 

    ^Do you mean it察though察Tony拭院

    ^Mean it Do I look as if I mean it拭I feel as if I do察I know that察院

says Mr Weevle察with a very genuine shudder。 

    ^Then     the   possibility   or   probability!for      such    it  must    be 

considered!of your never being disturbed in possession of those 

effects察lately belonging to a lone old man who seemed to have no 

relation in the world察and the certainty of your being able to find 

out what he really had got stored up there察don¨t weigh with you at 

all against last night察Tony察if I understand you拭院says Mr Guppy察

biting his thumb with the appetite of vexation。 

    ^Certainly not。 Talk in that cool way of a fellow¨s living there拭院

cries Mr Weevle察indignantly。 ^Go and live there yourself。 ̄ 

    ^O I察Tony 院says Mr Guppy察soothing him。 ^I have never lived 

there察and couldn¨t get a lodging there now察whereas you have got 

one。 ̄

   While   they  are   so conversing察  a   hackney´coach  drives   into  the

for   the   coach    stops    almost    at  their   feet察 are   the  venerable      Mr 

Smallweed          and      Mrs     Smallweed察        accompanied          by     their 

granddaughter Judy。 An air of haste and excitement pervades the 

party察    and    as   the   tall   hat   surmounting        Mr    Smallweed        the 

younger   alights察  Mr   Smallweed   the   elder   pokes   his   head   out   of 

window察and bawls to Mr Guppy察 How de do察sir How de do 院

    ^What   do   Chick   and   his   family   want   here   at   this   time   of   the 

morning察I wonder 院says Mr Guppy察nodding to his familiar。 

    ^My dear sir察院cries Grandfather Smallweed察 would you do me 

a   favour拭 Would   you   and   your   friend   be   so   very   obleeging   as   to 

carry   me   into   the   public´house   in   the   court察  while   Bart   and   his 

sister  bring  their  grandmother  along拭 Would   you  do an   old   man

    Mr     Guppy     looks    at   his   friend察  repeating      inquiringly察     the 

public´house        in   the   court拭院    And     they    prepare      to  bear     the 

venerable burden to the Sol¨s Arms。 

    ^There¨s your fare 院says the Patriarch to the coachman with a 

fierce   grin察  and   shaking   his   incapable   fist   at   him。   ^Ask   me   for   a 

penny more察  and   I¨ll   have   my lawful   revenge   upon   you。   My  dear 

young men察be easy with me察if you please。 Allow me to catch you

    It is well that the Sol is not far off察for Mr Weevle presents   an 

apoplectic   appearance   before   half   the   distance   is   accomplished。 

With   no   worse   aggravation   of   his   symptoms察  however察  than   the 

utterance      of   divers   croaking      sounds察   expressive      of  obstructive 

respiration察      he   fulfils   his   share     of   the   porterage察     and     the 

benevolent   old   gentleman   is   deposited   by   his   own   desire   in   the

from an armchair。 ^O dear me O my bones and back O my aches

    This    little   apostrophe   to  Mrs    Smallweed      is  occasioned     by   a 

propensity   on   the   part   of   that   unlucky   old   lady察  whenever   she 

finds   herself   on   her  feet察  to  amble   about察  and   ^set ̄   to   inanimate 

objects察   accompanying        herself   with   a  chattering    noise察  as  in  a 

witch dance。 A nervous affection has probably as much to do with 

these   demonstrations察  as   any   imbecile   intention   in   the   poor   old 

woman察but on the present occasion they are so particularly lively 

in connection with the Windsor armchair察fellow to that in which 

Mr   Smallweed   is   seated察     that   she   only  quite   desists   when     her 

grandchildren have held her down in it此her lord in the meanwhile 

bestowing upon her察with great volubility察the endearing epithet of 

^a pigheaded Jackdaw察院repeated a surprising number of times。 

    ^My      dear    sir察院  Grandfather        Smallweed       then     proceeds察

addressing Mr Guppy察 there has been a calamity here。 Have you 

heard of it察either of you拭院

    ^Heard of it察sir Why察we discovered it。 ̄ 

    ^You discovered it。 You two discovered it Bart察they discovered 

it 院

    The   two   discoverers   stare   at   the   Smallweeds察  who   return   the 

compliment。 

    ^My dear friends察院whines Grandfather Smallweed察putting out 

both his hands察 I owe you a thousand thanks for discharging the 

melancholy   office      of   discovering   the   ashes    of  Mrs   Smallweed¨s 

brother。 ̄

    ^Mrs   Smallweed¨s   brother察  my   dear   friend!her   only   relation。 

We were not on terms察which is to be deplored now察but he never 

would be on terms。 He was not fond   of  us。   He   was   eccentric!he 

was   very   eccentric。   Unless   he   has   left   a   will   which   is   not   at   all

protected。   I   have   come   down察院  repeats   Grandfather   Smallweed察

hooking  the  air   towards   him   with   all   his   ten   fingers   at   once察   to 

look after the property。 ̄ 

    ^I   think察  Small察院  says   the   disconsolate   Mr   Guppy察   you   might 

have mentioned that the old man was your uncle。 ̄

me to be the same察院returns that old bird察with a secretly glistening 

eye。 ^Besides察I wasn¨t proud of him。 ̄

was or not察院says Judy。 Also with a secretly glistening eye。

don¨t know why I should introduce him察I am sure 院

    ^No察    he    never     communicated          with    us!which        is   to   be 

deplored察院the old gentleman strikes in察 but I have come to look 

after the property!to look over the papers察and to  look after  the
