for it。 Mrs Chadband察no doubt拭院

   ^And Mrs Snagsby察院Mr Smallweed introduces。 

   ^Husband       a  law´stationer察   and   friend   of  my   own察院   says  Mr 

Bucket。 ^Love him like a brother Now察what¨s up拭院

   ^Do     you   mean     what    business    have    we   come    upon拭院    Mr 

Smallweed asks察a little dashed by the suddenness of this turn 

   ^Ah You know what I mean。 Let us hear what it¨s all about in 

presence of Sir Leicester Dedlock察Baronet。 Come 院

   Mr    Smallweed察     beckoning     Mr   Chadband察     takes   a  moment¨s 

counsel     with   him    in  a  whisper。    Mr    Chadband察     expressing    a 

considerable amount of oil from the pores of his forehead and the 

palms of his hands察says aloud察 Yes。 You first 院and retires to his 

former place。 

   ^I    was   the   client   and    friend   of  Mr    Tulkinghorn察院     pipes 

Grandfather   Smallweed察        then察   I  did   business  with   him。   I  was 

useful to him察and he was useful to me。 Krook察dead and gone察was 

my brother´in´law。 He was own brother to a brimstone magpie! 

leastways      Mrs    Smallweed。      I  come    into   Krook¨s     property。    I 

examined all   his   papers and   all   his   effects。   They  was all   dug   out 

under my eyes。 There was a bundle of letters belonging to a dead´ 

and´gone lodger察as was hid away at the back of a shelf in the side 

of   Lady   Jane¨s   bed!his   cat¨s   bed。   He   hid   all   manner   of   things 

away察everywheres。 Mr Tulkinghorn wanted ¨em and got ¨em察but I 

looked ¨em over first。 I¨m a man of business察and I took a squint at 

¨em。 They was letters from the lodger¨s sweetheart察and she signed 

Honoria。     Dear   me察  that¨s  not   a  common     name察   Honoria察   is  it拭

There¨s no lady in this house that signs Honoria察is there拭O no察I 

don¨t think so O no察I don¨t think so And not in the same hand察

perhaps拭O no察I don¨t think so 院

    Here Mr Smallweed察seized with a fit of coughing in the midst 

of his triumph察breaks   off  to  ejaculate察   O察  dear  me O   Lord  I¨m 

shaken all to pieces 院

    ^Now察when you¨re ready察院says   Mr  Bucket察after  awaiting  his 

recovery察      to  come     to   anything     that   concerns     Sir   Leicester 

Dedlock察Baronet察here the gentleman sits察you know。 ̄ 

    ^Haven¨t      I   come     to   it察 Mr    Bucket拭院     cries   Grandfather 

Smallweed。 ^Isn¨t the gentleman concerned yet拭Not with Captain 

Hawdon and his ever affectionate Honoria察and their child into the 

bargain拭Come察then察I want to know where those letters are。 That 

concerns me察if it don¨t concern Sir Leicester Dedlock。 I will know 

where   they  are。   I   won¨t   have   ¨em   disappear   so   quietly。   I   handed 

¨em    over    to  my   friend    and   solicitor察  Mr   Tulkinghorn察      not  to 

anybody else。 ̄ 

    ^Why   he   paid   you   for   them察  you   know察  and   handsome察  too察院

says Mr Bucket。 

    ^I don¨t care for that。 I want to know who¨s got ¨em。 And I tell 

you what we want!what we all   here   want察  Mr  Bucket。   We   want 

more painstaking  and search´making  into  this   murder。 We   know 

where   the   interest   and   the   motive   was察  and   you   have   not   done 

enough。   If   George   the   vagabond   dragoon   had   any   hand   in   it察  he 

was only an accomplice察and was set on。 You know what I mean as 

well as any man。 ̄ 

    ^Now察    I   tell  you   what察院   says    Mr   Bucket察    instantaneously 

altering his manner察coming close to him察and communicating an 

extraordinary fascination to the forefinger察 I am damned if I am 

going to have my case spoilt察or interfered with察or anticipated by 

so much as half a second of time察by any human being in creation。

You want more painstaking and search´making拭You  do拭 Do  you 

see this hand察and do you think that I don¨t know the right time to 

stretch it out察and put it on the arm that fired that shot拭

    Such is the dread power of the man察and so terribly evident it is 

that    he   makes     no   idle   boast察  that   Mr   Smallweed       begins    to 

apologise。 Mr Bucket察dismissing his sudden anger察checks him。 

    ^The advice I give you is察don¨t you trouble your head about the 

murder。 That¨s my affair。 You keep half an eye on the newspapers察

and   I   shouldn¨t   wonder   if    you   was   to   read  something   about   it 

before long察if you look sharp。 I know my business察and that¨s   all 

I¨ve got to say to you on that subject。 Now about those letters。 You 

want to know  who¨s   got  ¨em。   I  don¨t  mind   telling  you。 I   have  got 

¨em。 Is that the packet拭院

    Mr Smallweed looks察with greedy  eyes察  at  the   little bundle   Mr 

Bucket produces from a mysterious part of his coat察and identifies 

it as the same。 

    ^What have you got to say next拭院asks Mr Bucket。 ^Now察don¨t 

open     your   mouth     too  wide察  because     you   don¨t   look   handsome 

when you do it。 ̄ 

    ^I want five hundred pound。 ̄ 

    ^No察you don¨t察you mean fifty察院says Mr Bucket察humorously。 

    It appears察however察that Mr Smallweed means five hundred。 

    ^That   is察  I   am   deputed   by   Sir   Leicester   Dedlock察  Baronet察  to 

consider     without    admitting     or  promising      anything    this   bit  of 

business察院  says   Mr   Bucket察  Sir   Leicester   mechanically   bows   his 

head察   and   you   ask   me   to   consider   a   proposal   of   five   hundred 

pounds。   Why察  it¨s   an   unreasonable   proposal   Two   fifty   would   be 

bad enough察but better than that。 Hadn¨t you better say two fifty拭院

    Mr Smallweed is quite clear that he had better not。

    ^Then察院says Mr Bucket察 let¨s hear Mr Chadband。 Lord Many 

a   time   I¨ve   heard    my   old   fellow´serjeant     of  that   name察   and   a 

moderate man he was in all respects察as ever I come across 院

    Thus invited察Mr Chadband steps forth察and察after a little sleek 

smiling察    and   a  little  oil´grinding    with   the   palms    of  his  hands察

delivers himself as follows此

    ^My     friends察  we   are   now!Rachael         my    wife察 and    I!in    the 

mansions of the rich and great。 Why are we now in the mansions 

of   the   rich   and   great察  my   friends拭  Is   it   because   we   are   invited拭

Because we are bidden to feast with them察because we are bidden 

to rejoice with them察because we are bidden to play the lute with 

them察because we are bidden to dance with them拭No。 Then why 

are   we   here察  my  friends拭 Air  we   in   possession   of   a   sinful   secret察

and doe we require corn察and wine察and oil!or察what is much the 

same     thing察  money!for       the   keeping     thereof拭   Probably     so察 my 

friends。 ̄ 

    ^You¨re   a   man   of business察  you  are察院  returns   Mr   Bucket察  very 

attentive察 and consequently you¨re going on to mention what the 

nature of your secret is。 You are right。 You couldn¨t do better。 ̄ 

    ^Let    us   then察   my    brother察   in   a  spirit   of  love察院   says   Mr 

Chadband察  with   a   cunning   eye察   proceed   untoe   it。   Rachael察  my 

wife察advance 院

    Mrs   Chadband察  more   than   ready察  so   advances   as   t
