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。 ̄
^You are welcome to it察院 rejoins his friend察 and!ugh you
may make yourself at home in it。 ̄
^Then you really and truly at this point察院says Mr Guppy察 give
up the whole thing察if I understand you察Tony拭院
^You never察院 returns Tony察 with a most convincing
steadfastness察 said a truer word in all your life。 I do 院
While they are so conversing察 a hackney´coach drives into the
square察 on the box of which vehicle a very tall hat makes itself
manifest to the public。 Inside the coach察and consequently not so

manifest to the multitude察though sufficiently so to the two friends察
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
that good turn察sir拭院
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
round the neck。 I won¨t squeeze you tighter than I can help。 O
Lord O dear me O my bones 院
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

parlour of the Sol¨s Arms。
^O Lord 院gasps Mr Smallweed察looking about him察breathless察
from an armchair。 ^O dear me O my bones and back O my aches
and pains Sit down察 you dancing察 prancing察 shambling察
scrambling poll parrot Sit down 院
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。 ̄

^Eh拭院says Mr Guppy。
^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
likely I shall take out letters of administration。 I have come down
to look after the property察 it must be sealed up察 it must be
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。 ̄
^You two were so close about him that I thought you would like
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。 ̄
^Besides which察 it was nothing to you察 you know察 whether he
was or not察院says Judy。 Also with a secretly glistening eye。
^He never saw me in his life察to know me察院observed Small察 I
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
property。 We shall make good our t
