table of his察 so covered with papers察 which was never disturbed。
Sometimes I would come upon him察 lingering at the door of Mr
Vholes¨s office。 Sometimes I would meet him in the
neighbourhood察 lounging about察 and biting his nails。 I often met
him wandering in Lincoln¨s Inn察near the place where I had first
seen him察O how different察how different
That the money Ada brought him was melting away with the
candles I used to see burning after dark in Mr Vholes¨s office察 I
knew very well。 It was not a large amount in the beginning察he had
married in debt察and I could not fail to understand察by this time察
what was meant by Mr Vholes¨s shoulder being at the wheel!as I
still heard it was。 My dear made the best of housekeepers察 and
tried hard to save察but I knew that they were getting poorer and
poorer every day。
She shone in the miserable corner like a beautiful star。 She
adorned and graced it so察that it became another place。 Paler than
she had been at home察 and a little quieter than I had thought
natural when she was yet so cheerful and hopeful察her face was so
unshadowed察that I half believed she was blinded by her love for
Richard to his ruinous career。
I went one day to dine with them察 while I was under this
impression。 As I turned into Symond¨s Inn察I met little Miss Flite
coming out。 She had been to make a stately call upon the wards in
Jarndyce察 as she still called them察 and had derived the highest
gratification from that ceremony。 Ada had already told me that she
called every Monday at five o¨clock察with one little extra white bow

in her bonnet察which never appeared there at any other time察and
with her largest reticule of documents on her arm。
^My dear 院she began。 ^So delighted How do you do So glad
to see you。 And are you going to visit our interesting Jarndyce
wards拭 To be sure Our beauty is at home察my dear察and will be
charmed to see you。 ̄
^Then Richard has not come in yet拭院said I。 ^I am glad of that察
for I was afraid of being a little late。 ̄
^No he is not come in察院returned Miss Flite。 ^He has had a long
day in court。 I left him there察with Vholes。 You don¨t like Vholes察I
hope拭Don¨t like Vholes。 Dan´gerous man 院
^I am afraid you see Richard oftener than ever now拭院said I。
^My dearest察院returned Miss Flite察 daily and hourly。 You know
what I told you of the attraction on the Chancellor¨s table拭 My
dear察 next to myself he is the most constant suitor in court。 He
begins quite to amuse our little party。 Ve´ry friendly little party察
are we not拭院
It was miserable to hear this from her poor mad lips察though it
was no surprise。
^In short察my valued friend察院pursued Miss Flite察advancing her
lips to my ear察with an air of equal patronage and mystery察 I must
tell you a secret。 I have made him my executor。 Nominated察
constituted察and appointed him。 In my will。 Ye´es。 ̄
^Indeed拭院said I。
^Ye´es察院repeated Miss Flite察in her most genteel accents察 my
executor察 administrator察 and assign。 Our Chancery phrases察 my
love。 I have reflected that if I should wear out察he will be able to
watch that judgment。 Being so very regular in his attendance。 ̄
It made me sigh to think of him。

^I did at one time mean察院said Miss Flite察echoing the sigh察 to
nominate察constitute察and appoint poor Gridley。 Also very regular察
my charming girl。 I assure you察most exemplary But he wore out察
poor man察 so I have appointed his successor。 Don¨t mention it。
This is in confidence。 ̄
She carefully opened her reticule a little way察and showed me a
folded piece of paper inside察 as the appointment of which she
spoke。
^Another secret察 my dear。 I have added to my collection of
birds。 ̄
^Really察Miss Flite拭院said I察knowing how it pleased her to have
her confidence received with an appearance of interest。
She nodded several times察 and her face became overcast and
gloomy。 ^Two more。 I call them the wards in Jarndyce。 They are
caged up with all the others。 With Hope察Joy察Youth察Peace察Rest察
Life察 Dust察 Ashes察 Waste察 Want察 Ruin察 Despair察 Madness察 Death察

The poor soul kissed me察with the most troubled look I had ever
seen in her察 and went her way。 Her manner of running over the
names of her birds察 as if she were afraid of hearing them even
from her own lips察quite chilled me。
This was not a cheering preparation for my visit察 and I could
have dispensed with the company of Mr Vholes察 when Richard
who arrived within a minute or two after me brought him to
share our dinner。 Although it was a very plain one察 Ada and
Richard were for some minutes both out of the room together察
helping to get ready what we were to eat and drink。 Mr Vholes
took that opportunity of holding a little conversation in a low voice

with me。 He came to the window where I was sitting察and began
upon Symond¨s Inn。
^A dull place察Miss Summerson察for a life that is not an official
one察院said Mr Vholes察smearing the glass with his black glove察 to
make it clearer for me。
^There is not much to see here察院said I。
^Nor to hear察 miss察院 returned Mr Vholes。 ^A little music does
occasionally stray in察but we are not musical in the law察and soon
eject it。 I hope Mr Jarndyce is as well as his friends could wish
him拭院
I thanked Mr Vholes察and said he was quite well。
^I have not the pleasure to be admitted among the number of
his friends myself察院 said Mr Vholes察 and I am aware that the
gentlemen of our profession are sometimes regarded in such
quarters with an unfavourable eye。 Our plain course察 however察
under good report and evil report察and all kinds of prejudice察。we
are the victims of prejudice is to have everything openly carried
on。 How do you find Mr C looking察Miss Summerson拭院
^He looks very ill。 Dreadfully anxious。 ̄
^Just so察院said Mr Vholes。
He stood behind me察with his long black figure reaching nearly
to the ceiling of those low rooms察feeling the pimples on his face as
if they were ornaments察 and speaking inwardly and evenly as
though there were not a human passion or emotion in his nature。
^Mr Woodcourt is in attendance upon Mr C察 I believe拭院 he
resumed。
^Mr Woodcourt is his disinterested friend察院I answered。
