when      I  was   just  beginning     to   arrange    and    comprehend       the 

occurrences of the night察and really to believe that they were not a 

dream。   Leaving   the   carriage   at   the   posting´house察  and   ordering

fresh horses to be ready察my companion gave me his arm察and we 

went towards home。 

    ^As this is your regular abode察Miss Summerson察 you  see察院  he 

observed察 I should like to know whether you¨ve been asked for by 

any stranger answering the description察  or  whether  Mr  Jarndyce 

has。 I don¨t much expect it察but it might be。 ̄ 

   As   we   ascended   the   hill察  he   looked   about   him   with   a  sharp 

eye!the   day   was      now   breaking!and        reminded     me    that   I  had 

come down it one night察as I had reason for remembering察with my 

little servant and poor Jo此whom he called Toughey。 

   I wondered how he knew that。 

    ^When      you   passed   a  man    upon    the   road察  just  yonder察  you 

know察院said Mr Bucket。 

   Yes察I remembered that too察very well。 

    ^That was me察院said Mr Bucket。 

    Seeing my surprise察he went on此 

    ^I   drove   down   in   a   gig   that   afternoon察  to   look   after   that   boy。 

You might have heard my wheels when you came out to look after 

him yourself察for I was aware of you and your little maid going up察

when   I   was   walking   the   horse   down。   Making   an   inquiry   or   two 

about him in the town察I soon heard what company he was in察and 

was    coming     among     the   brick´fields    to  look   for  him察  when     I 

observed you bringing him home here。 ̄ 

    ^Had he committed any crime拭院I asked。 

    ^None was charged against him察院said Mr Bucket察coolly lifting 

off   his   hat察   but  I suppose  he   wasn¨t   over   particular。   No。   What   I 

wanted him for察was in connection with keeping this very  matter 

of Lady Dedlock quiet。 He had been making his tongue more free 

than   welcome察  as   to  a   small  accidental   service   he   had   been   paid

for by the deceased Mr Tulkinghorn察and it wouldn¨t do at any sort 

of price察to have him playing those games。 So having warned him 

out of London察I made an afternoon of it to warn him to keep out 

of   it   now   he   was   away察  and   go   farther   from   it察  and   maintain   a 

bright look out that I didn¨t catch him coming back again。 ̄ 

    ^Poor creature 院said I。 

    ^Poor enough察院assented Mr Bucket察 and trouble enough察and 

well enough away from London察or anywhere else。 I was regularly 

turned      on   my    back    when     I  found    him    taken     up   by   your 

establishment察I do assure you。 ̄ 

    I asked him why拭 Why察my dear拭院said Mr Bucket。 ^Naturally 

there was no end to his tongue then。 He might as well have been 

born with a yard and a half of it察and a remnant over。 ̄ 

   Although   I   remember   this   conversation   now察  my   head   was   in 

confusion at the time察and my power of attention hardly did more 

than     enable    me    to   understand       that   he   entered     into   these 

particulars to divert me。 With the same kind intention察manifestly察

he often spoke to me of indifferent things察while his face was busy 

with   the   one   object   that   he   had   in  view。  He   still  pursued    this 

subject as we turned in at the garden gate。 

    ^Ah 院said Mr Bucket。 ^Here we are察and a nice retired place it 

is。   Puts   a   man   in   mind   of   the   country   house   in   the   Woodpecker 

tapping察that was known by the smoke which so gracefully curled。 

They¨re      early   with    the   kitchen    fire察 and    that   denotes     good 

servants。     But    what    you¨ve    always    got   to  be   careful    of  with 

servants察is察who comes to see ¨em察you  never  know  what  they¨re 

up    to察 if  you   don¨t   know     that。  And    another     thing察  my   dear。 

Whenever you find a young man behind the kitchen door察you give 

that   young   man   in   charge     on   suspicion   of   being   secreted    in   a

   We   were  now  in  front  of  the   house察  he   looked   attentively   and 

closely at the gravel for footprints察before he raised his eyes to the 

windows。 

    ^Do    you   generally    put  that   elderly   young    gentleman     in  the 

same     room察  when     he¨s  on   a  visit  here察 Miss   Summerson拭院       he 

inquired察glancing at Mr Skimpole¨s usual chamber。 

    ^You know Mr Skimpole 院said I。 

    ^What   do   you   call   him   again拭院  returned   Mr   Bucket察  bending 

down his ear。 ^Skimpole察is it拭I¨ve often wondered what his name 

might be。 Skimpole。 Not John察I should say察nor yet Jacob拭院

    ^Harold察院I told him。 

    ^Harold。   Yes。   He¨s   a   queer   bird   is   Harold察院said   Mr   Bucket察

eyeing me with great expression。 

    ^He is a singular character察院said I。 

    ^No    idea    of  money察院    observed     Mr    Bucket。!^He        takes   it 

though 院

   I involuntarily returned for answer察that I perceived Mr Bucket 

knew him。 

    ^Why察  now  I¨ll   tell   you察  Miss  Summerson察院  he   rejoined。   ^Your 

mind     will  be  all  the  better   for  not   running    on   one   point   too 

continually察and I¨ll tell you for a change。 It was him as pointed out 

to me where Toughey was。 I made up my mind察that night察to come 

to the door and ask for Toughey察if that was all察but察willing to try a 

move or so first if any such was on the board察I just pitched up a 

morsel of gravel at that window where I saw a shadow。 As soon as 

Harold opens it and I have had a look at him察thinks I察you¨re the 

man for me。 So I smoothed him down a bit察about not wanting to 

disturb the family after they was gone to bed察and about it¨s being

a thing to be regretted that charitable young ladies should harbour 

vagrants察and then察when I pretty well understood his ways察I said察

I should consider a fypunnote well bestowed if I could relieve the 

premises of Toughey without  causing any noise   or  trouble。   Then 

says   he察  lifting   up   his   eyebrows   in   the   gayest   way察   it¨s   no   use 

mentioning   a   fypunnote   to   me察  my   friend察  because   I¨m   a          mere 

child   in   such   matters察  and   have   no   idea   of   money。¨   Of   course   I 

understood what his taking it so easy meant察and being now quite 

sure   he   was   the   man   for   me察  I   wrapped   the   note   round   a   little 

stone   and   threw   it   up   to   him。   Well   He   laughs   and   beams察  and 

looks as innocent as you like察and says察 But I don¨t know the value 

of these things。 What am I to do with this拭 `Spend it察sir察 says I。 

`But   I   shall   be   taken   in察   he   says察   they   won¨t   give   me   the   right 

change察I shall lose it察it¨s no use to me。¨ Lord you never saw such a 

face   as   he   carried   it   with   Of   course   he   told   me   where   to   find 

Toughey察and I found him。 ̄ 

    I regarded this as very treacherous on the part of Mr Skimpole察
