and   discussing   it察  during   the   whole   journey。   What   was   to   ensue 

when we found her察and what could compensate us for this loss of 

time察  were   questions   also   that   I   could   not   possibly   dismiss察  my 

mind     was    quite   tortured    by   long   dwelling     on   such   reflections察

when we stopped。 

    We stopped in a high´street察where there was a coach´stand。 My 

companion paid our two drivers察who were as completely covered 

with splashes as if they had been dragged along the roads like the 

carriage itself察and giving them some brief direction where to take 

it察lifted me out of it察and into a hackney´coach he had chosen from 

the rest。 

    ^Why察my dear察院he said察as he did this。 ^How wet you are 院

    I had not been conscious of it。 But the melted snow had found 

its   way   into   the   carriage察  and   I   had   got   out   two   or   three   times 

when a   fallen   horse   was   plunging  and   had   to  be   got  up察and   the 

wet had penetrated my dress。 I assured him it was no matter察but 

the   driver察  who   knew   him察  would   not   be   dissuaded   by   me   from 

running      down     the   street   to  his  stable察  whence      he   brought     an 

armful   of  clean dry  straw。   They  shook   it   out   and   strewed   it   well 

about me察and I found it warm and comfortable。 

    ^Now察     my   dear察院   said   Mr   Bucket察    with    his  head    in   at  the 

window   after   I   was   shut   up。   ^We¨re   going   to   mark   this   person 

down。   It   may   take   a   little   time察  but   you   don¨t   mind   that。   You¨re 

pretty sure that I¨ve got a motive。 Ain¨t you拭院

    I little thought what it was!little thought in how short a time I 

should      understand       it  better察  but    I  assured     him     that   I  had 

confidence in him。 

    ^So you may have察my dear察院he returned。 ^And I tell you what 

If  you  only  repose   half   as   much  confidence   in   me   as   I   repose   in

you察after what I¨ve experienced of you察that¨ll do。 Lord you¨re no 

trouble     at  all。  I  never   see   a  young     woman      in  any   station   of 

society!and   I¨ve   seen   many   elevated   ones   too!conduct   herself 

like you have conducted yourself察since you was called out of your 

bed。   You¨re   a   pattern察  you   know察  that¨s   what   you   are察院  said   Mr 

Bucket warmly察 you¨re a pattern。 ̄ 

    I   told   him   I   was   very   glad察  as   indeed   I   was察  to   have   been   no 

hindrance to him察and that I hoped I should be none now。 

    ^My dear察院he returned察 when a young lady is as mild as she¨s 

game察and as game as she¨s mild察that¨s all I ask察and more than I 

expect。 She then becomes a Queen察and that¨s about what you are 

yourself。 ̄ 

    With   these   encouraging   words!they   really   were   encouraging 

to me under those lonely and anxious circumstances!he got upon 

the box察and we once more drove away。 Where we drove察I neither 

knew then察nor have ever known  since察but  we   appeared  to  seek 

out  the   narrowest  and   worst   streets   in   London。   Whenever   I   saw 

him directing the driver察I was prepared for our descending into a 

deeper complication of such streets察and we never failed to do so。 

    Sometimes we emerged upon a wider thoroughfare察or came to 

a    larger   building    than    the   generality察   well   lighted。    Then    we 

stopped   at   offices   like   those   we   had   visited   when   we   began   our 

journey察and I saw him in consultation with others。 Sometimes he 

would      get   down    by   an   archway察     or  at  a   street   corner察   and 

mysteriously show the light of his little lantern。 This would attract 

similar lights from various dark quarters察like so many insects察and 

a   fresh   consultation   would   be   held。   By   degrees   we   appeared   to 

contract     our   search    within    narrower      and   easier   limits。   Single 

police officers on duty could now tell Mr Bucket what he wanted

to  know察  and   point  to  him   where  to   go。   At   last   we   stopped   for   a 

rather     long   conversation      between     him    and    one   of  these   men察

which  I   supposed   to   be   satisfactory   from   his   manner   of  nodding 

from   time   to  time。   When   it   was   finished   he   came   to   me察  looking 

very busy and very attentive。 

    ^Now察Miss Summerson察院he said to me察 you won¨t be alarmed 

whatever comes off察I know。 It¨s not necessary for me to give you 

any   further   caution察  than   to   tell   you   that   we   have   marked   this 

person down察and that you may be of use to me before I know  it 

myself。   I   don¨t  like   to   ask   such  a   thing察  my   dear察  but   would   you 

walk a little way拭院

    Of course I got out directly察and took his arm。 

    ^It ain¨t so  easy  to  keep   your  feet察院  said   Mr  Bucket察   but  take 

time。 ̄ 

    Although   I   looked   about   me   confusedly   and   hurriedly察  as   we 

crossed a street察I thought I knew the place。 

    ^Are we in Holborn拭院I asked him。 

    ^Yes察院said Mr Bucket。 ^Do you know this turning拭院

    ^It looks like Chancery Lane。 ̄ 

    ^And was christened so察my dear察院said Mr Bucket。 

    We turned down it察and as we went察shuffling through the sleet察

I heard the clock strike half´past five。 We passed on in silence察and 

as   quickly    as   we   could   with    such   a  foothold察   when     some    one 

coming towards us on the narrow pavement察wrapped in a cloak察

stopped and stood aside to give me room。 In the   same   moment  I 

heard   an   exclamation        of  wonder察  and     my   own   name察    from    Mr 

Woodcourt。 I knew his voice very well。 

    It   was   so   unexpected察  and     so!I    don¨t   know   what   to   call   it察

whether   pleasant   or   painful!to   come   upon   it   after   my   feverish

wandering journey察and in the midst of the night察that I could not 

keep back the tears from my eyes。 It was like hearing his voice in a 

strange country。 

    ^My dear Miss Summerson察that you should be out at this hour察

and   in   such   weather 院  He   had   heard   from   my   Guardian   of   my 

having been called away on some uncommon business察and said so 

to dispense with any explanation。 I told him that we had but just 

left a coach察and were going!but then I was obliged to look at my 

companion。 

    ^Why察you see察Mr Woodcourt察院he had caught the name   from 

me察   we   are   a´going   at   present   into   the   next   street。!Inspector 

Bucket。 ̄ 

   Mr Woodcourt察disregarding my  remonstrances察  had  hurriedly 

taken   off   his   cloak察  and   was   putting  it   about   me。   ^That¨s   a   good 

move察too察院said Mr Bucket察assisting察 a very good move。 ̄ 

    ^May I go with you拭院said Mr Woodcourt。 I don¨t know whether 

to me or my companion。 

    ^Why察    lord 院  exclaimed     Mr    Bucket察   taking   the   answer     on 

himself。 ^Of course you may。 ̄ 

   It  was   all said   in   a  moment察  and  they  took   me   between   them察

wrapped in a cloak。 

    ^I   have   just   left   Richard察院  said   Mr   Woodcourt。   ^I   have   been 

sitting with him since ten o¨clock
