^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。 ̄
Mr Smallweed replies with excellent temper察 Ah that¨s quite

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
will you拭Come察my dear friend察there¨s a chance for you。 Open the
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
Mr George awhile stands looking at the knocker。 Mr Bagnet察in a

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
marches off with the trooper察shoulder to shoulder。
When they present themselves in Lincoln¨s Inn Fields察 Mr
Tulkinghorn is engaged察and not to be seen。 He is nor at all willing
to see them此for when they have waited a full hour察and the clerk察
on his bell being rung察 takes the opportunity of mentioning as
much察 he brings no more encouraging message than
