^I never had a secret of my own察sir。 I can¨t charge my memory
with ever having once attempted to deceive my little woman on
my own account察since she named the day。 I wouldn¨t have done it察
sir。 Not to put too fine a point upon it察 I couldn¨t have done it察 I
durstn¨t have done it。 Whereas察 and nevertheless察 I find myself
wrapped round with secrecy and mystery察till my life is a burden
to me。 ̄
His visitor professes his regret to hear it察and asks him does he
remember Jo拭 Mr Snagsby answers with a suppressed groan。 O
don¨t he
^You couldn¨t name an individual human being!except
myself!that my little woman is more set and determined against
than Jo察院says Mr Snagsby。
Allan asks why拭
^Why拭院repeats Mr Snagsby察in his desperation clutching at the
clump of hair at the back of his bald head察 How should I know
why拭But you are a single person察sir察and may you long be spared
to ask a married person such a question 院
With this beneficent wish察 Mr Snagsby coughs a cough of
dismal resignation察 and submits himself to hear what the visitor
has to communicate。
^There again 院says Mr Snagsby察who察between the earnestness
of his feelings察 and the suppressed tones of his voice察 is
discoloured in the face。 ^At it again察in a new direction A certain
person charges me察in the solemnest way察not to talk of Jo to any
one察even my little woman。 Then comes another certain person察in

the person of yourself察and charges me察in an equally solemn way察
not to mention Jo to that other certain person above all other
persons。 Why察this is a private asylum Why察not to put too fine a
point upon it察this is Bedlam察sir 院says Mr Snagsby。
But it is better than he expected察after all察being no explosion of
the mine below him察 or deepening of the pit into which he has
fallen。 And being tender´hearted察and affected by the account he
hears of Jo¨s condition察 he readily engages to ^look round察院 as
early in the evening as he can manage it quietly。 He looks round
very quietly察when the evening comes察but it may turn out that Mrs
Snagsby is as quiet a manager as he。
Jo is very glad to see his old friend察and says察when they are left
alone察 that he takes it uncommon kind as Mr Sangsby should
come so far out of his way on accounts of sich as him。 Mr Snagsby察
touched by the spectacle before him察 immediately lays upon the
table half´a´crown此 that magic balsam of his for all kinds of
wounds。
^And how do you find yourself察 my poor lad拭院 inquires the
stationer察with his cough of sympathy。
^I am in luck察Mr Sangsby察I am察院returns Jo察 and don¨t want
for nothink。 I¨m more cumfbler nor you can¨t think。 Mr Sangsby
I¨m wery sorry that I done it察but I didn¨t go fur to do it察sir。 ̄
The stationer softly lays down another half´crown察and asks him
what it is that he is sorry for having done拭
^Mr Sangsby察院says Jo察 I went and giv a illness to the lady as
wos and yit as warn¨t the t¨other lady察and none of ¨em never says
nothink to me for having done it察 on accounts of their being ser
good and my having been s¨ unfortnet。 The lady come herself and
see me yesday察and she ses察 Ah Jo she ses。 `We thought we¨d lost

you察 Jo she ses。 And she sits down a´smilin so quiet察 and don¨t
pass a word nor yit a look upon me for having done it察she don¨t察
and I turns agin the wall察I doos察Mr Sangsby。 And Mr Jarnders察I
see him a´forced to turn away his own self。 And Mr Woodcot察 he
come fur to give me somethink fur to ease me察 wot he¨s allus a´
doin on day and night察and wen he come a´bendin over me and a´
speakin up so bold察I see his tears a´fallin察Mr Sangsby。 ̄
The softened stationer deposits another half´crown on the
table。 Nothing less than a repetition of that infallible remedy will
relieve his feelings。
^Wot I wos a´thinkin on察 Mr Sangsby察院 proceeds Jo察 wos察 as
you was able to write wery large察p¨raps拭院
^Yes察Jo察please God察院returns the stationer。
^Uncommon precious large察p¨raps拭院says Jo察with eagerness。
^Yes察my poor boy。 ̄
Jo laughs with pleasure。 ^Wot I wos a´thinkin on then察 Mr
Sangsby察wos察that when I was moved on as fur as ever I could go
and couldn¨t be moved no furder察whether you might be so good
p¨raps察 as to write out察 wery large so that any one could see it
anywheres察as that I wos wery truly hearty sorry that I done it and
that I never went fur to do it察 and that though I didn¨t know
nothink at all察I knowd as Mr Woodcot once cried over it and wos
allus grieved over it察and that I hoped as he¨d be able to forgive me
in his mind。 If the writin could be made to say it wery large察 he
might。 ̄
^It shall say it察Jo。 Very large。 ̄
Jo laughs again。 ^Thankee察 Mr Sangsby。 Its wery kind of you察
sir察and it makes me more cumfbler nor I was afore。 ̄
The meek little stationer察with a broken and unfinished cough察

slips down his fourth half´crown!he has never been so close to a
case requiring so many!and is fain to depart。 And Jo察 and he察
upon this little earth察shall meet no more。 No more。
For the cart so hard to draw察is near its journey¨s end察and drags
over stony ground。 All round the clock察 it labours up the broken
steeps察shattered and worn。 Not many times can the sun rise察and
behold it still upon its weary road。
Phil Squod察with his smoky gunpowder visage察at once acts as
nurse and works as armourer at his little table in a corner察 often
looking round察and saying with a nod of his green baize cap察and
an encouraging elevation of his one eyebrow察 Hold up察 my boy
Hold up 院 There察 too察 is Mr Jarndyce many a time察 and Allan
Woodcourt almost always察 both thinking察 much察 how strangely
Fate has entangled this rough outcast in the web of very different
lives。 There too察 the trooper is a frequent visitor此 filling the
doorway with his athletic figure察 and察 from his superfluity of life
and strength察 seeming to shed down temporary vigour upon Jo察
who never fails to speak more robustly in answer to his cheerful
words。
Jo is in a sleep or in a stupor today察 and Allan Woodcourt察
newly arrived察stands by him察looking down upon his wasted form。
After a while察he softly seats himself upon the bedside with his face
towards him!just as he sat in the law´writer¨s room!and touches
his chest and heart。 The cart had very nearly given up察but labours
on a little more。
The trooper stands in the door
