    The     fair  Volumnia察     not   quite    unconscious       perhaps     of   the 

humanising        influence    of  her   charms察    pauses     in  the   writing   of 

cocked´hat notes察and meditatively adjusts the pearl necklace。 Mr 

Bucket prices that decoration in his mind察and thinks it as likely as 

not that Volumnia is writing poetry。 

    ^If   I   have   not察院  pursues   Sir   Leicester察   in   the   most   emphatic 

manner察adjured you察officer察to exercise your utmost skill in this 

atrocious       case察   I  particularly      desire     to   take    the    present 

opportunity   of   rectifying   any   omission   I   may   have   made。   Let   no 

expense be a   consideration。  I   am   prepared   to   defray  all   charges。 

You can incur none察in pursuit of the object you have undertaken察

that I shall hesitate for a moment to bear。 ̄ 

    Mr Bucket made Sir Leicester¨s bow again察as a response to this 

liberality。 

    ^My   mind察院  Sir   Leicester   adds察  with   generous   warmth察           has 

not察  as may be   easily  supposed察  recovered   its   tone   since   the   late 

diabolical occurrence。 It is not likely ever to recover its tone。 But it 

is   full  of  indignation      tonight察   after   undergoing      the   ordeal    of 

consigning       to  the  tomb    the   remains     of  a  faithful察 a   zealous察  a 

devoted adherent。 ̄ 

    Sir Leicester¨s voice trembles察and his grey hair stirs upon his

head。 Tears are in his eyes察the best part of his nature is aroused。 

    ^I declare察院he says察 I solemnly declare察that until this crime is 

discovered察and察in the course of justice察punished察I almost feel as 

if there were a stain upon my name。 A gentleman who has devoted 

a large portion of his life to me察a gentleman who has devoted the 

last day of his life to me察a gentleman who has constantly sat at my 

table and slept under my roof察goes from my house to his own察and 

is   struck down   within  an   hour  of  his   leaving  my   house。   I   cannot 

say but that he may have been followed from my house察watched 

at my house察even first marked because of his association with my 

house!which may have suggested his possessing greater wealth察

and being altogether of greater importance than his own retiring 

demeanour would have indicated。 If I cannot察with my means察and 

my influence察and my position察bring all the perpetrators of such a 

crime     to  light察 I  fail  in  the   assertion    of  my    respect    for  that 

gentleman¨s memory察and of my fidelity towards one who was ever 

faithful to me。 ̄ 

   While      he   makes     this  protestation     with   great    emotion     and 

earnestness察looking round the room as if he  were  addressing  an 

assembly察Mr Bucket glances at him with an observant gravity in 

which there might be察but for the audacity of the thought察a touch 

of compassion。 

    ^The   ceremony   of   today察院  continues   Sir   Leicester察   strikingly 

illustrative of the respect in which my deceased friend察院he lays a 

stress on the word察for death levels all   distinctions察   was  held  by 

the   flower   of   the   land察  has察  I   say察  aggravated   the   shock   I   have 

received   from   this most   horrible   and   audacious   crime。   If  it   were 

my brother who had committed it察I would not spare him。 ̄ 

    Mr Bucket looks very grave。 Volumnia remarks of the deceased

that he was the trustiest and dearest person 

    ^You   must   feel   it   as   a   deprivation   to   you察  miss察院 replies   Mr 

Bucket察     soothingly察     no    doubt。     He    was    calculated     to   be   a 

deprivation察I¨m sure he was。 ̄ 

    Volumnia   gives   Mr   Bucket   to   understand察  in   reply察        that   her 

sensitive mind is fully made up never to get the better of it as long 

as she lives察that her nerves are unstrung forever察and that she has 

not the least expectation of smiling again。 Meanwhile she folds up 

a cocked´hat for that redoubtable old general at Bath察descriptive 

of her melancholy condition。 

    ^It   gives    a  start   to   a  delicate     female察院    says   Mr    Bucket察

sympathetically察 but it¨ll wear off。 ̄ 

    Volumnia wishes of all things to know what is doing拭Whether 

they are going to convict察or whatever it is察that dreadful soldier拭

Whether he had any accomplices察or whatever the thing is   called 

in the law拭And a great deal more to the like artless purpose。 

    ^Why   you   see察  miss察院  returns   Mr   Bucket察  bringing   the   finger 

into persuasive   action!and   such is   his   natural   gallantry察  that  he 

had almost said察my dear察 it ain¨t easy to answer those questions 

at   the   present    moment。      Not   at  the   present   moment。       I¨ve  kept 

myself   on   this   case察  Sir   Leicester   Dedlock察  Baronet察院  whom   Mr 

Bucket      takes   into   the  conversation      in  right   of  his  importance察

^morning察noon察and night。 But for a glass or two of sherry察I don¨t 

think I could have had my mind so much upon the stretch as it has 

been。 I could answer your questions察miss察but duty forbids it。 Sir 

Leicester   Dedlock察  Baronet察  will   very   soon   be   made   acquainted 

with all that has been traced。 And I hope that he may find it察院Mr 

Bucket again looks grave察 to his satisfaction。 ̄ 

    The   debilitated   cousin   only   hopes   some   fler¨ll   be   executed!

    ^You     know     life察 you   know察   sir察院  says   Mr    Bucket察    with   a 

complimentary twinkle of his eye and crook of his finger察 and you 

can confirm what I¨ve mentioned to this lady。 You don¨t want to be 

told察that察from information I have received察I have gone to work。 

You¨re   up   to   what   a   lady   can¨t   be   expected   to   be   up   to。   Lord 

especially     in   your   elevated    station    of  society察  miss察院   says   Mr 

Bucket察quite reddening at another narrow escape from my dear。 

    ^The   officer察  Volumnia察院  observes   Sir   Leicester察   is   faithful   to 

his duty察and perfectly right。 ̄ 

    Mr    Bucket      murmurs察      Glad     to  have    the   honour      of  your 

approbation察Sir Leicester Dedlock察Baronet。 ̄ 

    ^In   fact察  Volumnia察院  proceeds   Sir   Leicester察   it   is   not   holding 

up    a   good    model    for   imitation察   to  ask   the   officer   any    such 

questions as you have put to him。 He is the best judge of his own 

responsibility察     he  acts   upon    his  responsibility。    And    it  does   not 

become us察who assist in making the laws察to impede or interfere 

with those who carry them into execution。 Or察院says Sir Leicester察

somewhat sternly察for Volumnia was going to cut in before he had 

rounded his sentence察 or who vindicate their outraged majesty。 ̄ 

    Volumnia with all humility explains that she has not merely the 

plea of curiosity to urge in common   with  the  giddy  youth  of  her 

sex   in   general察  but   that   she   is   perfectly   dying   with   regret   and 

interest for the darling man whose loss
