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

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
