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

dwelling´house with an unlawful purpose。 ̄
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
