yourself。   I¨m   a´going   to   tell   you   what   I   want   you   for。   There   has 

been a murder in Lincoln¨s Inn Fields!gentleman of the name of 

Tulkinghorn。 He was shot last night。 I want you for that。 ̄ 

    The trooper sinks upon a seat behind him察and great drops start 

out upon his forehead察and a deadly pallor overspreads his face。 

    ^Bucket It¨s not possible that Mr Tulkinghorn has been killed 

and that you suspect me拭院

    ^George察院returns Mr Bucket察keeping his forefinger  going察   it 

is certainly possible察because it¨s the case。 This deed was done last 

night at ten o¨clock。 Now察you know where you were last night at 

ten o¨clock察and you¨ll be able to prove it no doubt。 ̄ 

    ^Last    night   Last   night拭院   repeats    the   trooper察   thoughtfully。 

Then   it   flashes   upon   him。   ^Why察  great   Heaven察  I   was   there   last 

night 院

    ^So I have understood察George察院returns Mr Bucket察with great 

deliberation。   ^So   I   have   understood。   Likewise   you¨ve   been   very 

often there。 You¨ve been seen hanging about the place察and you¨ve 

been     heard    more    than   once    in  a  wrangle     with   him察   and   it¨s 

possible!I don¨t say it¨s certainly so察mind you察but it¨s possible! 

that he may have been heard to call you a threatening察murdering察

dangerous fellow。 ̄ 

    The trooper gasps as if he would admit it all察if he could speak。

    ^Now察George察院continues Mr Bucket察putting his hat upon the 

table察  with   an   air   of   business   rather   in   the   upholstery   way   than 

otherwise察   My   wish   is察  as   it   has   been   all   the   evening察  to   make 

things     pleasant。    I  tell  you  plainly    there¨s   a  reward     out察 of  a 

hundred guineas察offered by Sir Leicester Dedlock察Baronet。 You 

and me have always been pleasant together察but I have got a duty 

to discharge察and if that hundred guineas is to be made察it may as 

well be made by me as by another man。 On all of which accounts察I 

should hope it was clear to you that I must have you察and that I¨m 

damned if I don¨t have you。 Am I to call in any assistance察or is the 

trick done拭院

    Mr George has recovered himself察and stands up like a soldier。 

^Come察院he says察 I am ready。 ̄ 

    ^George察院     continues      Mr    Bucket察     wait    a   bit 院  With    his 

upholsterer manner察as if the trooper were a window  to  be   fitted 

up察he takes from his pocket a pair of handcuffs。 ^This is a serious 

charge察George察and such is my duty。 ̄ 

    The trooper flushes angrily察and hesitates a moment察but holds 

out  his   two  hands察clasped   together察  and says察   There   Put   them 

on 院

    Mr Bucket adjusts them in a moment。 ^How do you find them拭

Are they comfortable拭If not察say so察for I wish to make things as 

pleasant as is consistent with my duty察and I¨ve got another pair in 

my     pocket。 ̄    This    remark     he   offers   like   a  most    respectable 

tradesman察anxious to execute an order neatly and to the perfect 

satisfaction   of   his   customer。   ^They¨ll   do   as   they   are拭  Very   well 

Now察you see George察院he takes a cloak from a corner察and begins 

adjusting     it  about   the   trooper¨s    neck察   I  was    mindful    of  your 

feelings   when   I   come   out察  and   brought   this   on   purpose。   There

Who¨s the wiser拭院

    ^Only I察院returns the trooper察 but as I know it察do me one more 

good turn察and pull my hat over my eyes。 ̄ 

    ^Really察though Do you mean it拭Ain¨t it a pity拭It looks so。 ̄ 

    ^I can¨t look chance men in the face with these things on察院Mr 

George      hurriedly     replies。   ^Do    for   God¨s    sake察   pull   my    hat 

forward。 ̄ 

    So   strongly   entreated察  Mr   Bucket   complies察  puts   his   own   hat 

on察and conducts his prize into the streets察  the   trooper  marching 

on   as   steadily  as   usual察  though   with   his   head   less   erect察  and   Mr 

Bucket steering him with his elbow over the crossings and up the 

turnings。

                           Esther¨s Narrative 



     t happened that when I came home from Deal察I found a note 

     from     Caddy    Jellyby    as  we   always   continued     to  call  her察

I 

     informing me that her health察which had been for some time 

very   delicate察  was   worse察  and   that  she   would   be   more   glad   than 

she could tell me   if  I  would   go  to  see   her。   It  was  a note   of  a   few 

lines察written from the couch on which she lay察and inclosed to me 

in another from her husband察in which he seconded her entreaty 

with    much    solicitude。    Caddy    was   now    the   mother察   and   I  the 

godmother察of such a poor little baby!such a tiny old´faced mite察

with a countenance that seemed to be scarcely anything but cap´ 

border察    and   a  little  lean察 long´fingered    hand察   always    clenched 

under its chin。 It would lie in this attitude all day察with its bright 

specks of eyes open察wondering as I used to imagine how it came 

to be so small and weak。 Whenever it was moved it cried察but at all 

other    times    it  was  so   patient察  that  the   sole  desire   of  its  life 

appeared   to   be察  to   lie   quiet   and   think。   It   had   curious   little   dark 

veins in its face察and curious little dark marks under its eyes察like 

faint remembrances of poor Caddy¨s inky days察and altogether察to 

those who were not used to it察it was quite a piteous little sight。 

   But    it  was   enough    for  Caddy     that  she   was   used   to  it。  The 

projects    with   which   she   beguiled    her   illness察 for  little  Esther¨s 

education察and little Esther¨s marriage察and even for her own old 

age察  as   the   grandmother   of   little   Esther¨s   little   Esthers察  were   so 

prettily expressive of devotion to this pride of her life察that I should

be     tempted      to   recall    some     of    them察    but    for   the    timely 

remembrance that I am getting on irregularly as it is。 

    To   return   to   the   letter。   Caddy   had    a   superstition    about   me察

which  had been strengthening in   her mind   ever   since   that  night 

long ago察when she had lain asleep with her head in my lap。 She 

almost!I   think   I   must   say   quite!believed   that   I   did   her   good 

whenever I was near her。 Now察although this was such a fancy of 

the affectionate girl¨s that I am almost ashamed to mention it察still 

it   might    have    all  the  force    of  a  fact  when     she   was    really   ill。 

Therefore   I   set   off   to   Caddy察  with   my   Guardian¨s   consent察  post´ 

haste察and she and Prince made so much of me察that there never 

was anything like it。 

    Next day I went again to sit with her察and next day I went again。 

It was a very easy journey察for I had only to rise a little earlier in 

the morning察and keep my accounts察and attend to  housekeeping 

matters   before   leaving   home。   But   when   I   had   made   thes
