I scarcely doubted察he was so very clear about it himself。 

    ^I   covet   nothing察院  said   Mr   Skimpole察  in   the   same   light   way。 

^Possession        is  nothing      to  me。    Here     is  my    friend    Jarndyce¨s 

excellent house。 I feel obliged to him for possessing it。 I can sketch 

it察  and   alter   it。  I  can   set   it   to   music。   When  I   am   here察  I   have 

sufficient     possession      of  it察 and    have    neither    trouble察   cost察  nor 

responsibility。   My   steward¨s   name察  in   short察  is   Jarndyce察  and   he 

can¨t cheat me。 We have been mentioning Mrs Jellyby。 There is a 

bright´eyed        woman察     of   a  strong     will  and    immense        power     of 

business´detail察  who   throws   herself   into   objects   with   surprising 

ardour I don¨t regret that I have not a strong will and an immense 

power       of  business´detail察       to  throw     myself      into   objects     with 

surprising       ardour。      I  can     admire      her    without      envy。    I   can 

sympathise with the objects。 I can dream of them。 I can lie down 

on   the   grass!in   fine   weather!and   float   along   an   African   river察

embracing all   the   natives   I meet察  as   sensible  of   the   deep   silence察

and      sketching       the    dense      overhanging        tropical      growth      as 

accurately察  as if  I   were   there。   I   don¨t know  that  it¨s   of any  direct 

use my doing so察but it¨s all I can do察and I do it thoroughly。 Then察

for   Heaven¨s     sake察  having     Harold    Skimpole察    a  confiding     child察

petitioning you察the world察an agglomeration of practical people of 

business habits察to let him live and admire the human family察do it 

somehow   or   other察      like  good   souls察  and   suffer   him    to  ride  his 

rocking´horse 院

    It was plain enough that Mr Jarndyce had not been neglectful 

of   the  adjuration。     Mr   Skimpole¨s      general    position    there   would 

have   rendered   it   so察  without   the   addition   of   what   he   presently 

said。 

    ^It¨s   only  you察  the   generous   creatures察  whom   I   envy察院  said   Mr 

Skimpole察      addressing      us察 his   new    friends察   in  an    impersonal 

manner。 ^I envy you your power of doing what you do。 It is what I 

should revel in察myself。 I don¨t feel any vulgar gratitude to you。   I 

almost feel as if you ought to be grateful to me察for giving you the 

opportunity of enjoying the luxury of generosity。 I know you like it。 

For anything I can tell察I may have come into the world expressly 

for the purpose of increasing your stock of happiness。 I may have 

been born to be a benefactor to you察by sometimes giving you an 

opportunity of assisting me in my little perplexities。 Why should I 

regret my incapacity for details and worldly affairs察when it leads 

to such pleasant consequences拭I don¨t regret it therefore。 ̄ 

    Of   all   his   playful   speeches   playful察  yet   always   fully   meaning 

what they expressed none seemed to be more to  the   taste   of   Mr 

Jarndyce   than   this。   I   had   often   new   temptations察  afterwards察  to 

wonder whether it was really singular察or only singular to me察that 

he察who was probably the most grateful of mankind upon the least 

occasion察should so desire to escape the gratitude of others。 

    We    were    all  enchanted。      I  felt  it  a  merited     tribute   to   the 

engaging qualities of Ada and Richard察that Mr  Skimpole察  seeing

them   for   the   first   time察  should   be   so   unreserved察  and   should   lay 

himself     out   to   be   exquisitely     agreeable。     They    and    especially 

Richard       were     naturally      pleased     for    similar    reasons察     and 

considered it no common  privilege   to be   so  freely  confided   in by 

such an attractive man。 The more we listened察the more gaily Mr 

Skimpole talked。 And what with his fine hilarious manner察and his 

engaging   candour察  and   his   genial   way   of   lightly   tossing   his   own 

weaknesses about察as if he had said察 I am a child察you know You 

are    designing   people      compared       with   me察院   。he  really   made     me 

consider   myself   in   that   light察   but   I¨m   gay   and   innocent察  forget 

your   worldly   arts   and   play   with   me 院the   effect   was   absolutely 

dazzling。 

    He was so full of feeling too察and had such a delicate sentiment 

for what was beautiful or tender察that he could have won a heart 

by that alone。 In the evening察when I was preparing to make tea察

and Ada was touching the piano in the adjoining room察and softly 

humming a tune to her cousin Richard察which they had happened 

to   mention察  he   came   and   sat   down   on   the   sofa   near   me察  and   so 

spoke of Ada that I almost loved him。 

    ^She is like the morning察院he said。 ^With that golden hair察those 

blue    eyes察  and   that   fresh   bloom     on   her   cheeks    she   is  like  the 

summer morning。 The birds   here   will   mistake   her  for  it。   We   will 

not   call   such   a   lovely   young   creature   as   that察  who   is   a   joy   to   all 

mankind察an orphan。 She is the child of the universe。 ̄ 

    Mr   Jarndyce察  I   found察  was   standing   near   us察  with   his   hands 

behind him察and an attentive smile upon his face。 

    ^The     universe察院    he   observed察     makes      rather    an   indifferent 

parent察I am afraid。 ̄ 

    ^O I don¨t know 院cried Mr Skimpole察buoyantly。

    ^I think I do know 院said Mr Jarndyce。 

    ^Well 院cried Mr Skimpole察 you know the world which in your 

sense is the universe察and I know nothing of it察so you shall have 

your    way。    But   if  I  had  mine察院   glancing    at  the   cousins察    there 

should be no brambles of sordid realities in such a path as that。 It 

should be strewn with roses察it should lie through bowers察where 

there was no spring察autumn察nor winter察but  perpetual summer。 

Age    or   change    should    never    wither    it。  The   base   word    money 

should never be breathed near it 院

    Mr Jarndyce patted him on the head with a smile察as if he had 

been really a child察and passing a step or two on察and stopping a 

moment察  glanced   at   the   young   cousins。   His   look   was   thoughtful察

but had a benignant expression in it which I often how often。 saw 

again此  which   has   been   long   engraven   on   my   heart。   The   room   in 

which they were察communicating with that in which he stood察was 

only lighted by the fire。 Ada sat at the piano察Richard stood beside 

her察bending down。 Upon the wall their shadows blended together察

surrounded by strange forms察not without a ghostly motion caught 

from the unsteady fire察though  reflected   from motionless   objects。 

Ada  touched   the   notes   so  softly察  and   sang   so   low察  that   the   wind察

sighing away to the distant hills察was as audible as the music。 The 

mystery of the future察and the little clue afforded to it by the voice 

of the present察seemed expressed in the whole picture。 

    But  it  is   not   to   recall   this   fancy察  well   as   I   remember   it察  that   I 

recall the scene。 First察I was not quite uncons
