be governed until young Coodle and young Doodle察now in frocks
and long stockings察 were grown up。 This stupendous national
calamity察 however察 was averted by Lord Coodle¨s making the
timely discovery察that if in the heat of debate he had said that he
scorned and despised the whole ignoble career of Sir Thomas
Doodle察he had merely meant to say that party differences should
never induce him to withhold from it the tribute of his warmest
admiration察while it as opportunely turned out察on the other hand察
that Sir Thomas Doodle had in his own bosom expressly booked
Lord Coodle to go down to posterity as the mirror of virtue and
honour。 Still England has been some weeks in the dismal strait of
having no pilot as was well observed by Sir Leicester Dedlock to
weather the storm察and the marvellous part of the matter is察that
England has not appeared to care very much about it察 but has
gone on eating and drinking and marrying and giving in marriage察
as the old world did in the days before the flood。 But Coodle knew

the danger察 and Doodle knew the danger察 and all their followers
and hangers´on had the clearest possible perception of the danger。
At last Sir Thomas Doodle has not only condescended to come in察
but has done it handsomely察bringing in with him all his nephews察
all his male cousins察and all his brothers´in´law。 So there is hope
for the old ship yet。
Doodle has found that he must throw himself upon the
country!chiefly in the form of sovereigns and beer。 In this
metamorphosed state he is available in a good many places
simultaneously察 and can throw himself upon a considerable
portion of the country at one time。 Britannia being much occupied
in pocketing Doodle in the form of sovereigns察 and swallowing
Doodle in the form of beer察 and in swearing herself black in the
face that she does neither!plainly to the advancement of her
glory and morality!the London season comes to a sudden end察
through all the Doodleites and Coodleites dispersing to assist
Britannia in those religious exercises。
Hence Mrs Rouncewell housekeeper at Chesney Wold foresees察
though no instructions have yet come down察 that the family may
shortly be expected察 together with a pretty large accession of
cousins and others who can in any way assist the great
Constitutional work。 And hence the stately old dame察taking Time
by the forelock察leads him up and down the staircases察and along
the galleries and passages and through the rooms察 to witness
before he grows any older that everything is ready察that floors are
rubbed bright察 carpets spread察 curtains shaken out察 beds puffed
and patted察 still´room and kitchen cleared for action察 all things
prepared as beseems the Dedlock dignity。
This present summer evening察 as the sun goes down察 the

preparations are complete。 Dreary and solemn the old house
looks察 with so many appliances of habitation察 and with no
inhabitants except the pictured forms upon the walls。 So did these
come and go察 a Dedlock in possession might have ruminated
passing along察so did they see this gallery hushed and quiet察as I
see it now察so think察as I think察of the gap that they would make in
this domain when they were gone察so find it察as I find it察difficult to
believe that it could be without them察so pass from my world察as I
pass from theirs察now closing the reverberating door察so leave no
blank to miss them察 and so die。 Through some of the fiery
windows察beautiful from without察and set察at this sunset hour察not
in dull grey stone but in a glorious house of gold察 the light
excluded at the other windows pours in察 rich察 lavish察 overflowing
like the summer plenty in the land。 Then do the frozen Dedlocks
thaw。 Strange movements come upon their features察 as the
shadows of leaves play there。 A dense Justice in a corner is
beguiled into a wink。 A staring Baronet察with a truncheon察gets a
dimple in his chin。 Down into the bosom of a stony shepherdess
there steals a fleck of light and warmth察 that would have done it
good a hundred years ago。 One ancestress of Volumnia察 in high´
heeled shoes察 very like her!casting the shadow of that virgin
event before her full two centuries!shoots out into a halo and
becomes a saint。 A maid of honour of the court of Charles the
Second察with large round eyes and other charms to correspond察
seems to bathe in glowing water察and it ripples as it glows。
But the fire of the sun is dying。 Even now the floor is dusky察and
shadow slowly mounts the walls察bringing the Dedlocks down like
age and death。 And now察 upon my lady¨s picture over the great
chimney´piece察a weird shade falls from some old tree察that turns it

pale察and flutters it察and looks as if a great arm held a veil or hood察
watching an opportunity to draw it over her。 Higher and darker
rises shadow on the wall!now a red gloom on the ceiling!now
the fire is out。
All that prospect察 which from the terrace looked so near察 has
moved solemnly away察 and changed!not the first or the last of
beautiful things that look so near and will so change!into a
distant phantom。 Light mists arise察and the dew falls察and all the
sweet scents in the garden are heavy in the air。 Now察 the woods
settle into great masses as if they were each one profound tree。
And now the moon rises察 to separate them察 and to glimmer here
and there is horizontal lines behind their stems察and to make the
avenue a pavement of light among high cathedral arches
fantastically broken。
Now察the moon is high察and the great house察needing habitation
more than ever察is like a body without life。 Now察it is even awful察
stealing through it察to think of the live people who have slept in the
solitary bedrooms此to say nothing of the dead。 Now is the time for
shadow察when every corner is a cavern察and every downward step
a pit察 when the stained glass is reflected in pale and faded hues
upon the floors察when anything and everything can be made of the
heavy staircase beams excepting their own proper shapes察 when
the armour has dull lights upon it not easily to be distinguished
from stealthy movement察and when barred helmets are frightfully
suggestive of heads inside。 But察 of all the sh
