turned out when the day came on。 As the prospect gradually
revealed itself察and disclosed the scene over which the wind had
wandered in the dark察 like my memory over my life察 I had a
pleasure in discovering the unknown objects that had been around
me in my sleep。 At first they were faintly discernible in the mist察
and above them the later stars still glimmered。 That pale interval
over察the picture began to enlarge and fill up so fast察that察at every
new peep察 I could have found enough to look at for an hour。
Imperceptibly察 my candles became the only incongruous part of
the morning察the dark places in my room all melted away察and the
day shone bright upon a cheerful landscape察prominent in which
the old Abbey Church察with its massive tower察threw a softer train
of shadow on the view than seemed compatible with its rugged
character。 But so from rough outsides I hope I have learnt察
serene and gentle influences often proceed。
Every part of the house was in such order and every one was so
attentive to me察that I had no trouble with my two bunches of keys此
though what with trying to remember the contents of each little
storeroom drawer察and cupboard察and what with making notes on
a slate about jams察 and pickles察 and preserves察 and bottles察 and

glass察 and china察 and a great many other things察 and what with
being generally a methodical察 old´maidenish sort of foolish little
person察I was so busy that I could not believe it was breakfast´time
when I heard the bell ring。 Away I ran察however察and made tea察as
I had already been installed into the responsibility of the teapot察
and then察as they were all rather late察and nobody was down yet察I
thought I would take a peep at the garden and get some
knowledge of that too。 I found it quite a delightful place察in front察
the pretty avenue and drive by which we had approached and
where察 by´the´bye察 we had cut up the gravel so terribly with our
wheels that I asked the gardener to roll it察at the back察the flower´
garden察with my darling at her window up there察throwing it open
to smile out at me察 as if she would have kissed me from that
distance。 Beyond the flower´garden was a kitchen´garden察 and
then a paddock察and then a snug little rick´yard察and then a dear
little farmyard。 As to the House itself察with its three peaks in the
roof察 its various´shaped windows察 some so large察 some so small察
and all so pretty察its trellis´work against the south´front for roses
and honey´suckle察and its homely察comfortable察welcoming look察it
was察 as Ada said察 when she came out to meet me with her arm
through that of its master察 worthy of her cousin John!a bold
thing to say察though he only pinched her dear cheek for it。
Mr Skimpole was as agreeable at breakfast察 as he had been
overnight。 There was honey on the table察 and it led him into a
discourse about Bees。 He had no objection to honey察he said and I
should think he had not察for he seemed to like it察but he protested
against the overweening assumptions of Bees。 He didn¨t at all see
why the busy Bee should be proposed as a model to him察 he
supposed the Bee liked to make honey察 or he wouldn¨t do it!

nobody asked him。 It was not necessary for the Bee to make such
a merit of his tastes。 If every confectioner went buzzing about the
world察 banging against everything that came in his way察 and
egotistically calling upon everybody to take notice that he was
going to his work and must not be interrupted察the world would be
quite an insupportable place。 Then察 after all察 it was a ridiculous
position察to be smoked out of your fortune with brimstone察as soon
as you had made it。 You would have a very mean opinion of a
Manchester man察if he spun cotton for no other purpose。 He must
say he thought a Drone the embodiment of a pleasanter and wiser
idea。 The Drone said察 unaffectedly察 You will excuse me察 I really
cannot attend to the shop I find myself in a world in which there
is so much to see察and so short a time to see it in察that I must take
the liberty of looking about me察and begging to be provided for by
somebody who doesn¨t want to look about him。 ̄ This appeared to
Mr Skimpole to be the Drone philosophy察and he thought it a very
good philosophy!always supposing the Drone to be willing to be
on good terms with the Bee此 which察 so far as he knew察 the easy
fellow always was察 if the consequential creature would only let
him察and not be so conceited about his honey
He pursued this fancy with the lightest foot over a variety of
ground察and made us all merry察though again he seemed to have as
serious a meaning in what he said as he was capable of having。 I
left them still listening to him when I withdrew to attend to my
new duties。 They had occupied me for some time察 and I was
passing through the passages on my return with my basket of keys
on my arm察when Mr Jarndyce called me into a small room next
his bedchamber察 which I found to be in part a little library of
books and papers察and in part quite a little museum of his boots

and shoes察and hat´boxes。
^Sit down察my dear察院said Mr Jarndyce。 ^This察you must know察
is the Growlery。 When I am out of humour察 I come and growl
here。 ̄
^You must be here very seldom察sir察院said I。
^O察you don¨t know me 院he returned。 ^When I am deceived or
disappointed in!the wind察 and it¨s Easterly察 I take refuge here。
The Growlery is the best´used room in the house。 You are not
aware of half my humours yet。 My dear察how you are trembling 院
I could not help it此I tried very hard此but being alone with that
benevolent presence察 and meeting his kind eyes察 and feeling so
happy察and so honoured there察and my heart so full!
I kissed his hand。 I don¨t know what I said察or even that I spoke。
He was disconcerted察and walked to the window此I almost believed
with an intention of jumping out察 until he turned察 and I was
reassured by seeing in his eyes what he had gone there to hide。 He
gently patted me on the head察and I sat down。
^There There 院he said。 ^That¨s over。 Pooh Don¨t be foolish。 ̄
^It shall not happen again察 sir察院 I returned察 but at first it is
difficult ̄!
^Nonsense 院he said察 it¨s easy察easy。 Why not拭I hear of a good
little orphan girl without a protector察and I take it in my head to be
that protector。 She grows up察 and more
