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
