^Very well察Volumnia察院returns Sir Leicester。 ^Then you cannot

^Sir Leicester Dedlock察Baronet察I have no objections to telling
this lady察 with your leave and among ourselves察 that I look upon
the case as pretty well complete。 It is a beautiful case!a beautiful
case!and what little is wanting to complete it察I expect to be able
to supply in a few hours。 ̄
^I am very glad indeed to hear it察院says Sir Leicester。 ^Highly
creditable to you。 ̄
^Sir Leicester Dedlock察 Baronet察院 returns Mr Bucket察 very
seriously察 I hope it may at one and the same time do me credit察
and prove satisfactory to all。 When I depict it as a beautiful case察
you see察 miss察院 Mr Bucket goes on察 glancing gravely at Sir
Leicester察 I mean from my point of view。 As considered from
other points of view察 such cases will always involve more or less
unpleasantness。 Very strange things comes to our knowledge in
families察 miss察 bless your heart察 what you would think to be
phenomenons察quite。 ̄
Volumnia察with her innocent little scream察supposes so。
^Aye察 and even in gen´teel families察 in high families察 in great
families察院 says Mr Bucket察 again gravely eyeing Sir Leicester
aside。 ^I have had the honour of being employed in high families
before察 and you have no idea!come察 I¨ll go so far as to say not
even you have any idea察sir察院this to the debilitated cousin察 what
games goes on 院
The cousin察who has been casting sofa´pillows on his head察in a
prostration of boredom察 yawns察 Vayli ̄!being the used´up for
^very likely。 ̄
Sir Leicester察 deeming it time to dismiss the officer察 here
majestically interposes with the words察 Very good。 Thank you 院
and also with a wave of his hand察implying not only that there is an

end of the discourse察but that if high families fall into low habits
they must take the consequences。 ^You will not forget察officer察院he
adds察 with condescension察 that I am at your disposal when you
please。 ̄
Mr Bucket still grave inquires if tomorrow morning察 now察
would suit察in case he should be as for¨ard as he expects to be拭Sir
Leicester replies察 All times are alike to me。 ̄ Mr Bucket makes his
three bows察and is withdrawing察when a forgotten point occurs to
him。
^Might I ask察 by the bye察院 he says察 in a low voice察 cautiously
returning察 who posted the Reward´bill on the staircase。 ̄
^I ordered it to be put up there察院replies Sir Leicester。
^Would it be considered a liberty察 Sir Leicester Dedlock察
Baronet察if I was to ask you why拭院
^Not at all。 I chose it as a conspicuous part of the house。 I think
it cannot be too prominently kept before the whole establishment。
I wish my people to be impressed with the enormity of the crime察
the determination to punish it察and the hopelessness of escape。 At
the same time察 officer察 if you in your better knowledge of the
subject see any objection! ̄ Mr Bucket sees none now察 the bill
having been put up察had better not be taken down。 Repeating his
three bows he withdraws此 closing the door on Volumnia¨s little
scream察 which is a preliminary to her remarking that that
charmingly horrible person is a perfect Blue Chamber。
In his fondness for society察and his adaptability to all grades察Mr
Bucket is presently standing before the hall´fire!bright and warm
on the early winter night!admiring Mercury。
^Why察you¨re six foot two察I suppose拭院says Mr Bucket。
^Three察院says Mercury。

^Are you so much拭 But then察 you see察 you¨re broad in
proportion察 and don¨t look it。 You¨re not one of the weak´legged
ones察 you ain¨t。 Was you ever modelled now拭院 Mr Bucket asks察
conveying the expression of an artist into the turn of his eye and
head。
Mercury never was modelled。
^Then you ought to be察 you know察院 says Mr Bucket察 and a
friend of mine that you¨ll hear of one day as a Royal Academy
Sculptor察would stand something handsome to make a drawing of
your proportions for the marble。 My Lady¨s out察ain¨t she拭院
^Out to dinner。 ̄
^Goes out pretty well every day察don¨t she拭院
^Yes。 ̄
^Not to be wondered at 院says Mr Bucket。 ^Such a fine woman
as her察so handsome and so graceful and so elegant察is like a fresh
lemon on a dinner´table察ornamental wherever she goes。 Was your
father in the same way of life as yourself拭院
Answer in the negative。
^Mine was察院says Mr Bucket。 ^My father was first a page察then a
footman察then a butler察then a steward察then an inn´keeper。 Lived
universally respected察and died lamented。 Said with his last breath
that he considered service the most honourable part of his career察
and so it was。 I¨ve a brother in service察and a brother´in´law。 My
Lady a good temper拭院
Mercury replies察 As good as you can expect。 ̄
^Ah 院says Mr Bucket察 a little spoilt拭A little capricious拭Lord
What can you anticipate when they¨re so handsome as that拭And
we like ¨em all the better for it察don¨t we拭院

blossom small´clothes察stretches his symmetrical silk legs with the
air of a man of gallantry察and can¨t deny it。 Come the roll of wheels
and a violent ringing at the bell。 ^Talk of the angels察院 says Mr
Bucket。 ^Here she is 院
The doors are thrown open察 and she passes through the hall。
Still very pale察she is dressed in slight mourning察 and wears two
beautiful bracelets。 Either their beauty察or the beauty of her arms察
is particularly attractive to Mr Bucket。 He looks at them with an
eager eye察 and rattles something in his pocket!halfpence
perhaps。
Noticing him at his distance察she turns an inquiring look on the
other Mercury who has brought her home。
^Mr Bucket察my Lady。 ̄
Mr Bucket makes a leg察and comes forward察passing his familiar
demon over the region of his mouth。
^Are you waiting to see Sir Leicester拭院
^No察my Lady察I¨ve seen him 院
^Have you anything to say to me拭院
^Not just at present察my Lady。 ̄
^Have you made any new discoveries拭院
^A few察my Lady。 ̄
This is merely in passing。 She scarcely makes a stop察 and
sweeps upstairs alone。 Mr Bucket察moving t
