    ^Sir    Leicester      Dedlock察    Baronet察     I  mentioned        yesterday 

evening察that I wanted but a very little to complete this case。 I have 

now completed it察and collected proof against the person who did 

this crime。 ̄ 

    ^Against the soldier拭院

    ^No察Sir Leicester Dedlock察not the soldier。 ̄ 

    Sir   Leicester   looks    astounded察     and   inquires察   Is   the  man    in 

custody拭院

    Mr Bucket tells him察after a pause察 It was a woman。 ̄ 

    Sir    Leicester     leans    back     in   his   chair察  and     breathlessly 

ejaculates察 Good Heaven 院

    ^Now察    Sir   Leicester    Dedlock察    Baronet察院     Mr   Bucket     begins察

standing over him with one hand spread out on the library table察

and the forefinger of the other in impressive use察 it¨s my duty to 

prepare you for a train of circumstances that may察and I go so far 

as   to   say   that   will察  give   you   a   shock。   But   Sir   Leicester   Dedlock察

Baronet察  you   are   a   gentleman察  and   I   know   what   a   gentleman   is察

and    what    a  gentleman      is  capable    of。  A  gentleman      can   bear   a 

shock察  when it  must  come察boldly  and steadily。   A   gentleman   can 

make up his mind to stand up against almost any blow。 Why察take 

yourself察  Sir   Leicester   Dedlock察  Baronet。   If   there¨s   a   blow   to   be 

inflicted    on   you察  you   naturally     think   of  your   family。    You    ask 

yourself察  how   would   all   them   ancestors   of   yours察  away   to   Julius 

Caesar!not to go beyond him at present!have borne that blow察

you remember scores of them that would have borne it well察and 

you   bear   it   well   on   their   accounts察  and   to   maintain   the   family

credit。   That¨s   the   way  you  argue察  and   that¨s   the   way  you  act察Sir 

Leicester Dedlock察Baronet。 ̄ 

    Sir   Leicester察    leaning    back    in  his   chair察  and    grasping     the 

elbows察sits looking at him with a stony face。 

    ^Now察     Sir  Leicester     Dedlock察院     proceeds     Mr    Bucket察     thus 

preparing  you察  let   me   beg   of   you   not   to   trouble   your   mind   for   a 

moment察as to anything having come to my knowledge。 I know so 

much   about   so   many   characters察  high   and   low察  that   a   piece   of 

information   more   or   less察  don¨t   signify   a   straw。   I   don¨t   suppose 

there¨s a move on the board that would surprise me察and as to this 

or that move having taken place察why my knowing it is no odds at 

all察  any    possible     move     whatever      provided     it¨s  in   a   wrong 

direction   being      a  probable     move    according     to  my    experience。 

Therefore察  what   I   say   to   you察  Sir   Leicester   Dedlock察  Baronet察  is察

don¨t you go and let yourself be put out of the way察because of my 

knowing anything of your family affairs。 ̄ 

    ^I thank you for your preparation察院returns Sir Leicester察after 

a silence察without moving hand察foot察or feature察 which I hope is 

not necessary察though I give it credit for being well intended。 Be so 

good   as   to   go   on。   Also! ̄   Sir   Leicester   seems   to   shrink   in   the 

shadow       of  his   figure!^also       to  take    a  seat察  if  you    have    no 

objection。 ̄ 

    None     at  all。  Mr   Bucket     brings    a  chair察  and   diminishes      his 

shadow。      ^Now察    Sir   Leicester   Dedlock察    Baronet察    with   this  short 

preface I come to the point。 Lady Dedlock! ̄ 

    Sir   Leicester     raises   himself    in   his  seat察  and   stares    at  him 

fiercely。 Mr Bucket brings the finger into play as an emollient。 

    ^Lady Dedlock察you see察she¨s universally admired。 That¨s what 

her Ladyship is察she¨s universally admired察院says Mr Bucket。

   Mr Bucket shakes his relentless head。

What I have got to say察is about her Ladyship。 She is the pivot it all 

turns on。 ̄

lip察   you   know   your   duty。   Do   your   duty察 but   be  careful   not   to

   Glancing   at   the   angry   eyes   which   now   avoid   him察  and   at   the 

angry figure trembling from head to foot察yet striving to be still察Mr 

Bucket     feels   his  way   with   his   forefinger察  and   in  a  low   voice 

proceeds。 

    ^Sir Leicester Dedlock察Baronet察it becomes my duty to tell you 

that the deceased Mr Tulkinghorn long entertained mistrusts and 

suspicions of Lady Dedlock。 ̄

patience察shakes his head。 

    ^Sir Leicester Dedlock察the deceased Mr Tulkinghorn was deep 

and close察and what he fully had in his mind in the very beginning察

I can¨t quite take upon myself to say。 But I know from his lips察that 

he    long    ago    suspected     Lady     Dedlock      of  having     discovered察

through   the   sight   of   some   handwriting!in   this   very   house察  and 

when      you   yourself察   Sir   Leicester     Dedlock察    were    present!the

lover   before   you   courted   her察  and   who   ought   to   have   been   her 

husband察院  Mr   Bucket   stops察  and   deliberately   repeats察   ought   to 

have been her husband察not a doubt about it。 I know from his lips察

that   when   that   person   soon   afterwards   died察  he   suspected   Lady 

Dedlock      of  visiting    his  wretched      lodging察   and    his  wretcheder 

grave察  alone   and   in   secret。   I   know   from   my   own   inquiries察  and 

through my eyes and ears察that Lady Dedlock did make such visit察

in   the   dress   of   her   own   maid察  for   the   deceased   Mr   Tulkinghorn 

employed       me    to  reckon    up   her   Ladyship!if       you¨ll   excuse    my
