right to mention them to Rick and Ada察院looking seriously at me察
^you can。 I leave it to your discretion察Esther。 ̄
^I hope察sir察院said I。
^I think you had better call me Guardian察my dear。 ̄
I felt that I was choking again!I taxed myself with it察 Esther察
now察you know you are 院when he feigned to say this slightly察as
if it were a whim察instead of a thoughtful tenderness。 But I gave
the housekeeping keys the least shake in the world as a reminder
to myself察and folding my hands in a still more determined manner
on the basket察looked at him quietly。
^I hope察Guardian察院said I察 that you may not trust too much to
my discretion。 I hope you may not mistake me。 I am afraid it will
be a disappointment to you to know that I am not clever!but it
really is the truth察and you would soon find it out if I had not the
honesty to confess it。 ̄
He did not seem at all disappointed此quite the contrary。 He told
me察 with a smile all over his face察 that he knew me very well
indeed察and that I was quite clever enough for him。
^I hope I may turn out so察院said I察 but I am much afraid of it察
Guardian。 ̄
^You are clever enough to be the good little woman of our lives
here察my dear察院he returned察playfully察 the little old woman of the
Child¨s I don¨t mean Skimpole¨s Rhyme此

You will sweep them so neatly out of our sky察in the course of your
housekeeping察 Esther察 that one of these days察 we shall have to
abandon the Growlery and nail up the door。 ̄
This was the beginning of my being called Old Woman察 and
Little Old Woman察 and Cobweb察 and Mrs Shipton察 and Mother
Hubbard察and Dame Durden察and so many names of that sort察that
my own name soon became quite lost among them。
^However察院said Mr Jarndyce察 to return to our gossip。 Here¨s
Rick察a fine young fellow full of promise。 What¨s to be done with
him拭院
O my goodness察the idea of asking my advice on such a point
^Here he is察Esther察院said Mr Jarndyce察comfortably putting his
hands in his pockets and stretching out his legs。 ^He must have a
profession察he must make some choice for himself。 There will be a
world more Wiglomeration about it察 I suppose察 but it must be
done。 ̄
^More what察Guardian拭院said I。
^More Wiglomeration察院said he。 ^It¨s the only name I know for
the thing。 He is a ward in Chancery察my dear。 Kenge and Carboy
will have something to say about it察 Master Somebody!a sort of
ridiculous Sexton察digging graves for the merits of causes in a back
room at the end of Quality Court察 Chancery Lane!will have
something to say about it察 Counsel will have something to say
about it察 the Chancellor will have something to say about it察 the
Satellites will have something to say about it察they will have to be
handsomely fee¨d察all round察about it察the whole thing will be vastly
ceremonious察wordy察unsatisfactory察and expensive察and I call it察in
general察 Wiglomeration。 How mankind ever came to be afflicted
with Wiglomeration察or for whose sins these young people ever fell

into a pit of it察I don¨t know察so it is。 ̄
He began to rub his head again察 and to hint that he felt the
wind。 But it was a delightful instance of his kindness towards me察
that whether he rubbed his head察or walked about察or did both察his
face was sure to recover its benignant expression as it looked at
mine察 and he was sure to turn comfortable again察 and put his
hands in his pockets and stretch out his legs。
^Perhaps it would be best察 first of all察院 said I察 to ask Mr
Richard what he inclines to himself。 ̄
^Exactly so察院he returned。 ^That¨s what I mean You know察just
accustom yourself to talk it over察with your tact and in your quiet
way察with him and Ada察 and see what you all make of it。 We are
sure to come at the heart of the matter by your means察 little
woman。 ̄
I really was frightened at the thought of the importance I was
attaining察 and the number of things that were being confided to
me。 I had not meant this at all察I had meant that he should speak
to Richard。 But of course I said nothing in reply察 except that I
would do my best察 though I feared I really felt it necessary to
repeat this that he thought me much more sagacious than I was。
At which my guardian only laughed the pleasantest laugh I ever
heard。
^Come察院he said察rising and pushing back his chair。 ^I think we
may have done with the Growlery for one day Only a concluding
word。 Esther察my dear察do you wish to ask me anything拭院
He looked so attentively at me察that I looked attentively at him察
and felt sure I understood him。
^About myself察sir拭院said I。
^Yes。 ̄

^Guardian察院 said I察 venturing to put my hand察 which was
suddenly colder than I could have wished察 in his察 nothing I am
quite sure that if there were anything I ought to know察or had any
need to know察I should not have to ask you to tell it to me。 If my
whole reliance and confidence were not placed in you察I must have
a hard heart indeed。 I have nothing to ask you察 nothing in the
world。 ̄
He drew my hand through his arm察and we went away to look
for Ada。 From that hour I felt quite easy with him察 quite
unreserved察quite content to know no more察quite happy。
We lived察at first察rather a busy life at Bleak House察for we had
to become acquainted with many residents in and out of the
neighbourhood who knew Mr Jarndyce。 It seemed to Ada and me
that everybody knew him察 who wanted to do anything with
anybody else¨s money。 It amazed us when we began to sort his
letters察and to answer some of them for him in the Growlery of a
morning察to find how the great object of the lives of nearly all his
correspondents appeared to be to form themselves into
committees for getting in and laying out money。 The ladies were
as desperate as the gentlemen察 indeed察 I think they were even
more so。 They threw themselves into committees in the most
impassioned manner察 and collected subscriptions with a
vehemence quite extraordinary。 It appeared to us that some of
them must pass their whole lives in dealing out subscription cards
to the whole Post´office Directory!shilling cards察 half´crown
cards察half´sovereign cards察penny cards。 They wanted everything。
They wanted wearing apparel察 they wanted linen rags察 they
wanted money察they wanted coals察they wanted soup察they wante
