    ^The    fact  is察 Mr  Smallweed察院     proceeds     George察    that  I  find 

myself in rather an unpleasant state of mind。 It appears to me察sir察

that your friend in the city has been playing tricks。 ̄ 

    ^O   dear   no 院  says   Grandfather      Smallweed。     ^He    never   does 

that 院

    ^Don¨t he拭Well察I am glad to hear it察because I thought it might 

be his doing。 This察you know察I am speaking of。 This letter。 ̄ 

   Grandfather        Smallweed       smiles    in   a   very    ugly   way察   in 

recognition of the letter。 

    ^What does it mean拭院asks Mr George。 

    ^Judy察院says the old man察 have you got the pipe拭Give it to me。 

Did you say what does it mean察my good friend拭院

    ^Aye Now察come察come察you know察Mr Smallweed察院  urges   the 

trooper察     constraining      himself     to   speak     as   smoothly      and 

confidentially as he can察holding the open letter in one hand察and 

resting the broad knuckles of the other on his thigh察 a good lot of 

money   has   passed   between        us察 and   we   are  face   to   face   at   the 

present   moment察  and   are   both   well   aware   of   the   understanding 

there has always been。 I am prepared to do the usual thing which I 

have done regularly察and to keep this matter going。 I never got a 

letter like this from you before察and I have been a little put about 

by   it   this  morning察  because    here¨s   my   friend   Matthew   Bagnet察

who察you know察had none of the money! ̄ 

    ^I don¨t know it察you know察院says the old man察quietly。 

    ^Why察confound you!it察I mean!I tell you so察don¨t I拭院

    ^Oh察yes察you tell me so察院returns Grandfather Smallweed。 ^But 

I don¨t know it。 ̄ 

    ^Well 院says the trooper察swallowing his fire。 ^I know it。 ̄

another      thing 院   And    adds察    but   it  don¨t   matter。    Mr    Bagnet¨s 

situation is all one察whether or no。 ̄ 

    The   unfortunate   George   makes   a   great   effort   to   arrange   the 

affair comfortably察and to propitiate Mr Smallweed by taking him 

upon his own terms。 

    ^That¨s   just   what   I   mean。   As   you   say察  Mr   Smallweed察  here¨s 

Matthew  Bagnet  liable   to   be   fixed   whether   or   no。   Now察  you   see察

that makes his good lady very uneasy in her mind察and me too察for察

whereas I¨m a harum´scarum sort of a good´for´nought察that more 

kicks   than   halfpence   come   natural   to察  why   he¨s   a   steady   family 

man察    don¨t    you   see拭   Now察   Mr   Smallweed察院      says    the   trooper察

gaining confidence as he proceeds in this soldierly mode of doing 

business察 although you and I are good friends enough in a certain 

sort of a way察I am well aware that I can¨t ask you to let my friend 

Bagnet off entirely。 ̄ 

    ^O   dear察  you   are   too   modest。   You   can  ask   me   anything察  Mr 

George。 ̄   There   is   an   Ogreish   kind   of   jocularity   in   Grandfather 

Smallweed today。 ^And you can refuse察you mean察eh拭Or not you 

so much察perhaps察as your friend in the city拭Ha ha ha 院

    ^Ha   ha   ha 院  echoes   Grandfather   Smallweed。   In           such   a  very 

hard     manner察     and    with    eyes   so   particularly     green察   that   Mr 

Bagnet¨s natural gravity is much deepened by  the   contemplation 

of that venerable man。 

    ^Come 院says the sanguine George察 I am glad to find we can be 

pleasant察  because   I   want   to   arrange       this   pleasantly。   Here¨s   my 

friend Bagnet察and here am I。 We¨ll settle the matter on the spot察if 

you  please察  Mr Smallweed察  in   the   usual   way。 And  you¨ll  ease   my 

friend Bagnet¨s mind察and his family¨s mind察a good deal察if you¨ll 

just mention to him what our understanding is。 ̄

    Here   some   shrill   spectre   cries   out   in   a   mocking   manner察   O 

good gracious O 院unless察indeed察it be the sportive Judy察who is 

found to be silent when the startled visitors look round察but whose 

chin     has   received     a  recent    toss察  expressive     of   derision    and 

contempt。 Mr Bagnet¨s gravity becomes yet more profound。 

    ^But I think you asked me察Mr George察院old Smallweed察who all 

this time had the pipe in his hand察is the speaker now察 I think you 

asked me察what did the letter mean拭院

    ^Why察yes察I did察院returns the trooper察in his offhand way此 but I 

don¨t care to know particularly察if it¨s all correct and pleasant。 ̄ 

    Mr    Smallweed察     purposely     balking     himself   in   an  aim    at  the 

trooper¨s   head察  throws   the   pipe   on   the   ground   and   breaks   it   to 

pieces。 

    ^That¨s     what    it  means察   my   dear    friend。   I¨ll  smash    you。   I¨ll 

crumble you。 I¨ll powder you。 Go to the devil 院

    The    two   friends    rise  and   look   at  one   another。    Mr    Bagnet¨s 

gravity has now attained its profoundest point。 

    ^Go   to   the   devil 院  repeats   the   old   man。   ^I¨ll   have   no   more   of 

your      pipe´smoking         and     swaggerings。        What拭      You¨re      an 

independent dragoon察too Go to my lawyer you remember where察

you   have   been   there   before察  and   show   your   independence   now察

street   door察  Judy察  put   these   blusterers   out   Call   in   help   if   they 

don¨t go。 Put ¨em out 院

    He vociferates this so loudly察that Mr Bagnet察laying his hands 

on the shoulders of his comrade察before the latter can recover from 

his amazement察gets him on the outside of the street´door察which is 

instantly   slammed   by   the   triumphant   Judy。   Utterly   confounded察

perfect     abyss   of  gravity察  walks    up   and    down    before    the   little 

parlour window察like a sentry察and looks in every time he passes察

apparently revolving something in his mind。 

    ^Come察Mat 院says Mr George察when he has recovered himself察

^we must try the lawyer。 Now察what do you think of this rascal拭院

    Mr   Bagnet察  stopping   to   take   a   farewell   look   into   the   parlour察

replies察with one shake of his head directed at the interior察 If my 

old girl had been here!I¨d have told him 院Having so discharged 

himself   of   the   subject   of   his   cogitations察  he   falls   into   step察  and

on   his   bell   being   rung察  takes   the   opportunity   of   mentioning   as 

much察     he  brings    no   more    encouraging      message      than
