These sufficing察however察to inform the visitor that Miss Flite and
her birds are domiciled with a Mrs Blinder察 in Bell Yard察 he
repairs to that neighbouring place察 where Miss Flite who rises
early that she may be punctual at the Divan of justice held by her
excellent friend the Chancellor comes running downstairs察 with
tears of welcome and with open arms。
^My dear physician 院 cries Miss Flite。 ^My meritorious察
distinguished察 honourable officer 院 She uses some odd
expressions察but is as cordial and full of heart as sanity itself can
be!more so than it often is。 Allan察 very patient with her察 waits
until she has no more raptures to express察 then points out Jo察
trembling in a doorway察and tells her how he comes there。
^Where can I lodge him hereabouts for the present拭 Now you
have a fund of knowledge and good sense察and can advise me。 ̄
Miss Flite察 mighty proud of the compliment察 sets herself to
consider察but it is long before a bright thought occurs to her。 Mrs
Blinder is entirely let察 and she herself occupies poor Gridley¨s
room。 ^Gridley 院exclaims Miss Flite察clapping her hands察 after a
twentieth repetition of this remark。 ^Gridley To be sure of
course My dear physician General George will help us out。 ̄
It is hopeless to ask for any information about General George察
and would be察 though Miss Flite had not already run upstairs to
put on her pinched bonnet and her poor little shawl察 and to arm

herself with her reticule of documents。 But as she informs her
physician察in her disjointed manner察on coming down in full array察
that General George察whom she often calls upon察knows her dear
Fitz´Jarndyce察and takes a great interest in all connected with her察
Allan is induced to think that they may be in the right way。 So he
tells Jo察for his encouragement察that this walking about will soon
be over now察and they repair to the General¨s。 Fortunately it is not
far。
From the exterior of George¨s Shooting Gallery察 and the long
entry察and the bare perspective beyond it察Allan Woodcourt augurs
well。 He also descries promise in the figure of Mr George himself察
striding towards them in his morning exercise with his pipe in his
mouth察 no stock on察 and his muscular arms察 developed by
broadsword and dumbbell察weightily asserting themselves through
his light shirt´sleeves。
^Your servant察 sir察院 says Mr George with a military salute。
Good´humouredly smiling all over his broad forehead up into his
crisp hair察he then defers to Miss Flite察as察 with great stateliness察
and at some length she performs the courtly ceremony of
presentation。 He winds it up with another ^Your servant察sir 院and
another salute。
^Excuse me察sir。 A sailor I believe拭院says Mr George。
^I am proud to find I have the air of one察院returns Allan察 But I
am only a sea´going doctor。 ̄
^Indeed察 sir I should have thought you was a regular blue´
jacket察myself。 ̄
Allan hopes Mr George will forgive his intrusion the more
readily on that account察and particularly that he will not lay aside
his pipe察which察in his politeness察he has testified some intention of

doing。 ^You are very good察sir察院 returns the trooper。 ^As I know察
by experience察that it¨s not disagreeable to Miss Flite察and since it¨s
equally agreeable to yourself! ̄ and finishes the sentence by
putting it between his lips again。 Allan proceeds to tell him all he
knows about Jo察unto which the trooper listens with a grave face。
^And that¨s the lad察 sir察 is it拭院 he inquires察 looking along the
entry to where Jo stands staring up at the great letters on the
whitewashed front察which have no meaning in his eyes。
^That¨s he察院says Allan。 ^And察Mr George察I am in this difficulty
about him。 I am unwilling to place him a hospital察even if I could
procure him immediate admission察 because I foresee that he
would not stay there many hours察 if he could be so much as got
there。 The same objection applies to a workhouse察supposing I had
the patience to be evaded and shirked察 and handed about from
post to pillar in trying to get him into one!which is a system that I
don¨t take kindly to。 ̄
^No man does察sir察院returns Mr George。
^I am convinced that he would not remain in either place察
because he is possessed by an extraordinary terror of this person
who ordered him to keep out of the way察 in his ignorance察 he
believes this person to be everywhere察 and cognisant of
everything。 ̄
^I ask your pardon察 sir察院 says Mr George。 ^But you have not
mentioned that party¨s name。 Is it a secret察sir拭院
^The boy makes it one。 But the name is Bucket。 ̄
^Bucket the Detective察sir拭院
^The same man。 ̄
^The man is known to me察 sir察院 returns the trooper察 after
blowing out a cloud of smoke察and squaring his chest察 and the boy

is so far correct that he undoubtedly is a!rum customer。 ̄ Mr
George smokes with a profound meaning after this察 and surveys
Miss Flite in silence。
^Now察 I wish Mr Jarndyce and Miss Summerson at least to
know that this Jo察 who tells so strange a story察 has reappeared察
and to have it in their power to speak with him察 if they should
desire to do so。 Therefore I want to get him察 for the present
moment察into any poor lodging kept by decent people察 where he
would be admitted。 Decent people and Jo察Mr George察院says Allan察
following the direction of the trooper¨s eyes along the entry察 have
not been much acquainted察 as you see。 Hence the difficulty。 Do
you happen to know any one in this neighbourhood察 who would
receive him for a while察on my paying for him beforehand拭院
As he puts the question察he becomes aware of a dirty´faced little
man察 standing at the trooper¨s elbow察 and looking up察 with an
oddly twisted figure and countenance察 into the trooper¨s face。
After a few more puffs at his pipe察the trooper looks down askant
at the little man察and the little man winks up at the trooper。
^Well sir察院 says Mr George察 I can assure you that I would
willingly be knocked on the head at any time察if it would be at all
agreeable to Miss Summerson察 and consequently I esteem it a
privilege to do that young lady any service察however small。 We are
naturally in the vagabond way here察sir察both myself and Phil。 You
see what the
