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

    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。
