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
Charles Dickens ElecBook Classics
´ Page 986´

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!

zample。 Thinks more interest¨s wanted!get man hanged

doubt!zample!far better hang wrong fler than no fler。
^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
