was changed察 but something in the familiar beauty of her face
looked different to me。 My Guardian¨s old hopes of her and
Richard arose sorrowfully in my mind察and I said to myself察 she
has been anxious about him察院and I wondered how that love would
end。
When I had come home from Caddy¨s while she was ill察 I had
often found Ada at work察and she had always put her work away察
and I had never known what it was。 Some of it now lay in a drawer
near her察which was not quite closed。 I did not open the drawer察
but I still rather wondered what the work could be察 for it was
evidently nothing for herself。
And I noticed as I kissed my dear察that she lay with one hand
under her pillow so that it was hidden。
How much less amiable I must have been than they thought
me。 How much less amiable than I thought myself察 to be so
preoccupied with my own cheerfulness and contentment察 as to
think that it only rested with me to put my dear girl right察and set
her mind at peace
But I lay down察self´deceived察in that belief。 And I awoke in it

next day察to find that there was still the same shade between me
and my darling。

Enlightened
hen Mr Woodcourt arrived in London察 he went察 that
Wvery same day察to Mr Vholes¨s in Symond¨s Inn。 For he
never once察from the moment when I entreated him to
be a friend to Richard察 neglected or forgot his promise。 He had
told me that he accepted the charge as a sacred trust察and he was
ever true to it in that spirit。
He found Mr Vholes in his office察and informed Mr Vholes of his
agreement with Richard察 that he should call there to learn his
address。
^Just so察sir察院said Mr Vholes。 ^Mr C¨s address is not a hundred
miles from here察sir察Mr C¨s address is not a hundred miles from
here。 Would you take a seat察sir。 ̄
Mr Woodcourt thanked Mr Vholes察but he had no business with
him beyond what he had mentioned。
^Just so察sir。 I believe察sir察院said Mr Vholes察still quietly insisting
on the seat by not giving the address察 that you have influence
with Mr C。 Indeed I am aware that you have。 ̄
^I was not aware of it myself察院returned Mr Woodcourt察 but I
suppose you know best。 ̄
^Sir察院 rejoined Mr Vholes察 self´contained察 as usual察 voice and
all察 it is a part of my professional duty to know best。 It is a part of
my professional duty察to study and to understand a gentleman who
confides his interests to me。 In my professional duty I shall not be
wanting察 sir察 if I know it。 I may察 with the best intentions察 be
Charles Dickens ElecBook Classics
´ Page 949´

wanting in it without knowing it察but not if I know it察sir。 ̄
Mr Woodcourt again mentioned the address。
^Give me leave察 sir察院 said Mr Vholes。 ^Bear with me for a
moment。 Sir察Mr C is playing for a considerable stake察and cannot
play without!need I say what拭院
^Money察I presume拭院
^Sir察院said Mr Vholes察 to be honest with you honesty being my
golden rule察whether I gain by it or lose察and I find that I generally
lose察 money is the word。 Now察 sir察 upon the chances of Mr C¨s
game I express to you no opinion察no opinion。 It might be highly
impolitic in Mr C察after playing so long and so high察to leave off察it
might be the reverse。 I say nothing。 No察 sir察院 said Mr Vholes察
bringing his hand flat down upon his desk察in a positive manner察
^nothing。 ̄
^You seem to forget察院returned Mr Woodcourt察 that I ask you
to say nothing察and have no interest in anything you say。 ̄
^Pardon me察 sir拭院 retorted Mr Vholes察 you do yourself an
injustice。 No察sir Pardon me You shall not!shall not in my office察
if I know it!do yourself an injustice。 You are interested in
anything察 and in everything察 that relates to your friend。 I know
human nature much better察sir察than to admit for an instant that a
gentleman of your appearance is not interested in whatever
concerns his friend。 ̄
^Well察院replied Mr Woodcourt察 that may be。 I am particularly
interested in his address。 ̄
─The number察sir察隠 said Mr Vholes察parenthetically察 娃I believe
I have already mentioned。 If Mr C is to continue to play for this
considerable stake察 sir察 he must have funds。 Understand me
There are funds in hand at present。 I ask for nothing察 there are
Charles Dickens ElecBook Classics
´ Page 950´
Bleak House 950
funds in hand。 But察 for the onward play察 more funds must be
provided察 unless Mr C is to throw away what he has already
ventured!which is wholly and solely a point for his consideration。
This察 sir察 I take the opportunity of stating openly to you察 as the
friend of Mr C。 Without funds察I shall always be happy to appear
and act for Mr C察to the extent of all such costs as are safe to be
allowed out of the estate此not beyond that。 I could not go beyond
that察 sir察 without wronging some one。 I must either wrong my
three dear girls察or my venerable father察who is entirely dependent
on me!in the Vale of Taunton察 or some one。 Whereas察 sir察 my
resolution is call it weakness or folly if you please to wrong no
one。 ̄
Mr Woodcourt rather sternly rejoined that he was glad to hear
it。
^I wish察sir察院said Mr Vholes察 to leave a good name behind me。
Therefore察I take every opportunity of openly stating to a friend of
Mr C察 how Mr C is situated。 As to myself察 sir察 the labourer is
worthy of his hire。 If I undertake to put my shoulder to the wheel察
I do it察and I earn what I get。 I am here for that purpose。 My name
is painted on the door outside察with that object。 ̄
^And Mr Carstone¨s address察Mr Vholes拭院
^Sir察院 returned Mr Vholes察 as I believe I have already
mentioned察it is next door。 On the second story you will find Mr C¨s
apartments。 Mr C desires to be near his professional adviser察and I
am far from objecting察for I court inquiry。 ̄
Upon this察 Mr Woodcourt wished Mr Vholes good day察 and
went in search of Richard察 the change in whose appearance he
began to understand now but too well。
He found him in a dull room察fadedly furnished察much as I had

found him in his barrack´room but a little while before察except that
he was not
