    ^But how do you and your neighbour get on about the disputed 

right of way拭院said Mr Jarndyce。 ^You are not free from the toils 

of the law yourself拭院

    ^The fellow has brought actions against me for  trespass察  and   I 

have     brought     actions    against   him    for  trespass察院    returned     Mr 

Boythorn。   ^By  Heaven察  he   is   the   proudest   fellow   breathing。   It   is 

morally impossible that his name can be Sir Leicester。 It must be 

Sir Lucifer。 ̄ 

    ^Complimentary          to  our  distant    relation 院  said   my    Guardian 

laughingly察to Ada and Richard。 

    ^I would beg Miss Clare¨s pardon and   Mr  Carstone¨s   pardon察院

resumed our visitor察 if I were not reassured by seeing in the fair 

face   of   the   lady察  and   the   smile   of   the   gentleman察  that   it   is   quite 

unnecessary察       and   that   they    keep    their   distant    relation    at  a 

comfortable distance。 ̄ 

    ^Or he keeps us察院suggested Richard。 

    ^By my soul 院exclaimed Mr Boythorn察suddenly firing another 

volley察 that fellow is and his father was察and his grandfather was察

the   most  stiff´necked察arrogant察  imbecile察pig´headed察  numbskull察

Leicester      Dedlock察    Baronet察    presents     his   compliments        to  Mr 

Lawrence Boythorn察and has   to  call   his   attention  to  the   fact  that 

the green pathway by the old parsonage´house察now the property 

of Mr Lawrence Boythorn察is Sir Leicester¨s right of way。 Being in 

fact a portion of the park of Chesney Wold察and that Sir Leicester 

finds it convenient to close up the same。¨ I write to the fellow察 Mr 

Lawrence       Boythorn      presents     his  compliments       to  Sir   Leicester 

Dedlock察Baronet察and has to call his attention to the fact that he 

totally   denies   the   whole   of   Sir   Leicester   Dedlock¨s   positions   on 

every possible subject察and has to add察in reference to  closing  up 

the    pathway察    that   he   will   be  glad    to  see   the   man    who    may 

undertake   to   do   it。¨   The   fellow   sends   a   most   abandoned   villain 

with  one   eye察  to  construct  a   gateway。   I   play   upon   that   execrable 

scoundrel with a fire´engine察until the breath is nearly driven out 

of his body。 The fellow erects a gate in  the   night。   I   chop it  down 

and burn it in the morning。 He sends his myrmidons to come over 

the fence察and pass and repass。 I catch them in humane mantraps察

fire   split   peas   at   their   legs察 play   upon   them   with   the  engine!

    To hear him say all   this   with  unimaginable   energy察  one   might 

have thought him the angriest of mankind。 To see him察at the very

softly   smoothing   its   feathers   with   his   forefinger察  one   might   have 

thought   him   the   gentlest。   To   hear   him   laugh察  and   see   the   broad 

good nature of his face then察one might have supposed that he had 

not a care in the world察or a dispute察or a dislike察but that his whole 

existence was a summer joke。

Though I willingly confess察院here he softened in a moment察 that 

Lady     Dedlock     is  the  most    accomplished      lady   in  the   world察  to

Lincolnshire察I of course have not yet been in town察and I thought 

some letters might have been sent down here。 I dare say they will 

report progress tomorrow morning。 ̄ 

    I saw him so often察in the course of the evening察which passed 

very   pleasantly察  contemplate   Richard   and   Ada   with   an       interest 

and a satisfaction that made his fine face remarkably agreeable as 

he sat at a little distance   from   the   piano listening  to  the   music! 

and he had small occasion to tell us that he was passionately fond 

of music察for his face showed it!that I asked my Guardian察as we 

sat   at   the   backgammon   board察  whether   Mr   Boythorn         had   ever 

been married。

    ^Why察Guardian察院I explained察not without reddening a little at 

hazarding what was in my thoughts察 there is something so tender 

in his manner察after all察and he is so very courtly and gentle to us察

    Mr Jarndyce directed his eyes to where he was sitting察as I have 

just described him。 

    I said no more。

married察once。 Long ago。 And once。 ̄

    ^No!but she died to him。 That time has had its influence on all
