                                  Bleak House                                 1152 



of    cheerful     raillery    which     Mr    Smallweed       by    no    means 

reciprocated察 and so you chance to find察you know察a paper with 

the signature of Jarndyce to it。 Don¨t you拭院

   Mr     Smallweed       glanced     with   a   troubled     eye   at   us察 and 

grudgingly nodded assent。 

    ^And    coming     to   look  at  the  paper察  at  your   full  leisure  and 

convenience!all   in   good   time察  for   you¨re   not   curious   to   read   it察

and why should you be what do you find it to be but a Will察you 

see。 That¨s the drollery of it察院said Mr Bucket察with the same lively 

air of recalling a joke for the enjoyment of Mr Smallweed察who still 

had the same crestfallen appearance of not enjoying it at all察 what 

do you find it to be but a Will拭院

    ^I  don¨t   know   that   it¨s  good   as   a  will察 or   as  anything  else察院

snarled Smallweed。 

   Mr Bucket eyed the old man for a moment!he had slipped and 

shrunk down in his chair into a mere bundle!as if he were much 

disposed to pounce upon him察nevertheless察he continued to bend 

over him with the same agreeable air察keeping the corner of one of 

his eyes upon us。 

    ^Notwithstanding        which察院   said  Mr    Bucket察    you   get  a  little 

doubtful and uncomfortable in your mind about it察having a   very 

tender mind of your own。 ̄ 

    ^Eh拭   What    do   you   say   I  have   got  of  my   own拭院    asked   Mr 

Smallweed察with his hand to his ear。 

    ^A very tender mind。 ̄ 

    ^Ho Well察go on察院said Mr Smallweed。 

    ^And     as  you¨ve    heard   a   good   deal   mentioned      regarding     a 

celebrated Chancery will case察of the same name察and as you know 

what   a   card   Krook   was   for   buying   all   manner   of   old   pieces   of

furniter察and books察and papers察and what not察and never liking to 

part   with   ¨em察  and   always   a   going   to   teach   himself   to   read察  you 

begin   to   think!and   you       never   was   more      correct   in  your   born 

days!¨Ecod察       if  I  don¨t  look   about    me察   I  may   get   into   trouble 

regarding this will。¨ ̄ 

    ^Now察     mind    how     you   put   it察 Bucket察院    cried   the   old   man 

anxiously察     with   his  hand    at  his   ear。  ^Speak     up察  none    of  your 

brimstone tricks。 Pick me up察I want to hear better。 O Lord察I am 

shaken to bits 院

    Mr Bucket had certainly picked him up at a dart。 However察as 

soon as he could be heard through Mr Smallweed¨s coughing察and 

his vicious ejaculations of ^O my bones O dear I¨ve no breath in 

my body I¨m worse than the chattering察clattering察brimstone pig 

at home 院Mr Bucket proceeded察in the same convivial manner as 

before。 

    ^So察   as  I  happen     to  be   in  the   habit   of  coming     about    your 

premises察you take me into your confidence察don¨t you拭院

    I think it would be impossible to make an admission with more 

ill´will察and a worse grace察than Mr Smallweed displayed when he 

admitted   this察  rendering it  perfectly  evident   that   Mr   Bucket   was 

the   very   last   person    he   would    have   thought   of   taking     into  his 

confidence察if he could by any possibility have kept him out of it。 

    ^And   I   go   into   the   business   with   you察very   pleasant   we   are 

over it察and I confirm you in your well´founded fears察that you will´ 

get´yourself´in´to´a´most precious line if  you  don¨t  come   out  with 

that   there   will察院  said   Mr   Bucket察  emphatically察   and   accordingly 

you arrange with me   that  it  shall be delivered   up   to  this   present 

Mr Jarndyce察on no  conditions。 If  it  should   prove   to  be   valuable察

you trusting yourself to him for your reward察that¨s about where it

is察ain¨t it拭院

    ^That¨s   what   was   agreed察院  Mr   Smallweed   assented察  with   the 

same bad grace。 

    ^In    consequence       of  which察院    said   Mr   Bucket察    dismissing     his 

agreeable manner all at once察and becoming strictly business´like察

^you¨ve   got   that   will   upon   your   person   at   present   time察  and   the 

only thing that remains for you to do is察just to Out with it 院

    Having   given   us   one   glance   out   of   the   watching   corner   of   his 

eye察   and    having    given    his  nose    one    triumphant      rub    with   his 

forefinger察     Mr    Bucket     stood     with   his    eyes   fastened      on   his 

confidential friend察and his hand stretched forth ready to take the 

paper and present it to my Guardian。 It was not produced without 

much      reluctance察     and    many     declarations      on   the   part    of  Mr 

Smallweed that he was a poor industrious man察and that he left it 

to Mr Jarndyce¨s honour not to let him lose by his honesty。 Little 

by    little察 he  very    slowly    took   from    a  breast´pocket       a  stained 

discoloured paper察which was much singed upon the outside察and 

a little burnt at the edges察as if it had long ago been thrown upon a 

fire察  and   hastily   snatched   off   again。   Mr   Bucket   lost   no   time     in 

transferring this paper察with the dexterity of a conjuror察from Mr 

Smallweed        to   Mr   Jarndyce。   As    he   gave   it   to   my   Guardian察   he 

whispered behind his fingers此 

    ^Hadn¨t settled how to make their market of it。 Quarrelled and 

hinted     about     it。  I  laid  out   twenty    pound      upon    it。  First察  the 

avaricious      grandchildren        split  upon     him察  on   account     of   their 

objections  to  his   living  so  unreasonably long察and  then   they  split 

on one another。 Lord there ain¨t one  of  the  family  that  wouldn¨t 

sell the other  for  a   pound   or  two察  except  the  old   lady!and   she¨s 

only    out   of  it  because    she¨s   too   weak    in   her   mind    to  drive   a

bargain。 ̄ 

    ^Mr Bucket察院said my Guardian aloud察 whatever the worth of 

this paper may be to any one察my obligations are great to you察and 

if   it   be   of   any   worth察  I   hold   myself   bound   to   see   Mr   Smallweed 

remunerated accordingly。 ̄ 

    ^Not according to your  merits察  you  know察院  said   Mr  Bucket察  in 

friendly   explanation       to   Mr   Smallweed察   Don¨t   you   be   afraid     of 

that。 According to its value。 ̄ 

    ^That  is   what  I   mean察院  said  my  Guardian。   ^You   may   observe察

Mr Bucket察that I abstain from examining this paper myself。 The 

plain   truth   is察  I   have   forsworn   and   abjured   the   whole   business 

these many years察and my soul is sick of it。 But Miss Summerson 

and I will immediately place the paper in the hands of my solicitor 

in the cause察and its existence shall be made known without delay 

to all other parties interested。 ̄ 

    ^Mr    Jarndyce      can¨t   say   fairer  than    that察  you   understand察院

observed Mr Bucket to his fellow visitor。 ^And it being now made 

clear to you that nobody¨s a´going to be wronged!which must be 

a great relief to your mind!we may
