    ^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

    Sir   Leicester察    deeming      it  time   to  dismiss    the   officer察  here 

majestically  interposes   with  the   words察   Very   good。   Thank   you 院

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。

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。 ̄

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。
