the middle´aged man out at elbows察 I shall be back presently。 ̄
Very rarely tells him anything more explicit。
Mr Tulkinghorn goes察as the crow came!not quite so straight察

It is somewhere about five or six o¨clock in the afternoon察and a
balmy fragrance of warm tea hovers in Cook¨s Court。 It hovers
about Snagsby¨s door。 The hours are early there察 dinner at half´
past one察and supper at half´past nine。 Mr Snagsby was about to
descend into the subterranean regions to take tea察when he looked
out of his door just now察and saw the crow who was out late。
^Master at home拭院
Guster is minding the shop察 for the ¨prentices take tea in the
kitchen察with Mr and Mrs Snagsby察consequently察the robemaker¨s
two daughters察 combing their curls at the two glasses in the two
second´floor windows of the opposite house察 are not driving the
two ¨prentices to distraction察 as they fondly suppose察 but are
merely awakening the unprofitable admiration of Guster察 whose
hair won¨t grow察 and never would察and察 it is confidently thought察
never will。
^Master at home拭院says Mr Tulkinghorn。
Master is at home察 and Guster will fetch him。 Guster
disappears察 glad to get out of the shop察 which she regards with
mingled dread and veneration察 as a store house of awful
implements of the great torture of the law此 a place not to be
entered after the gas is turned off。
Mr Snagsby appears此greasy察warm察herbaceous察 and chewing。
Bolts a bit of bread and butter。 Says察 Bless my soul察 sir Mr
Tulkinghorn 院
^I want half a word with you察Snagsby。 ̄
^Certainly察 sir Dear me察 sir察 why didn¨t you send your young
man round for me拭 Pray walk into the back shop察 sir。 ̄ Snagsby
has brightened in a moment。

counting´house察 and copying´office。 Mr Tulkinghorn sits察 facing
round察on a stool at the desk。
^Jarndyce and Jarndyce察Snagsby。 ̄
^Yes察sir。 ̄ Mr Snagsby turns up the gas察and coughs behind his
hand察modestly anticipating profit。 Mr Snagsby察as a timid man察is
accustomed to cough with a variety of expressions察and so to save
words。
^You copied some affidavits in that cause for me lately。 ̄
^Yes察sir察we did。 ̄
^There was one of them察院 says Mr Tulkinghorn察 carelessly
feeling!tight察unopenable Oyster of the old school in the wrong
coat pocket察 the handwriting of which is peculiar察 and I rather
like。 As I happened to be passing察and thought I had it about me察I
looked in to ask you!but I haven¨t got it。 No matter察 any other
time will do!Ah here it is I looked in to ask you who copied
this拭院
^Who copied this察sir拭院says Mr Snagsby察taking it察laying it flat
on the desk察and separating all the sheets at once with a twirl and
a twist of the left hand peculiar to law´stationers。 ^We gave this
out察sir。 We were giving out rather a large quantity of work just at
that time。 I can tell you in a moment who copied it察 sir察 by
referring to my Book。 ̄
Mr Snagsby takes his Book down from the safe察makes another
bolt of the bit of bread and butter which seemed to have stopped
short察 eyes the affidavit aside察 and brings his right forefinger
travelling down a page of the Book。 ^Jewby!Packer!Jarndyce。 ̄
^Jarndyce Here we are察sir察院says Mr Snagsby。 ^To be sure I
might have remembered it。 This was given out察sir察to a Writer who
lodges just over on the opposite side of the lane。 ̄

Mr Tulkinghorn has seen the entry察 found it before the Law´
stationer察read it while the forefinger was coming down the hill。
^What do you call him拭Nemo拭院says Mr Tulkinghorn。
^Nemo察 sir。 Here it is。 Forty´two folio。 Given out on the
Wednesday night察 at eight o¨clock察 brought in on the Thursday
morning at half after nine。 ̄
^Nemo 院repeats Mr Tulkinghorn。 ^Nemo is Latin for no one。 ̄
^It must be English for some one察 sir察 I think察院 Mr Snagsby
submits察with his deferential cough。 ^It is a person¨s name。 Here it
is察you see察sir Forty´two folio。 Given out Wednesday night察eight
o¨clock察brought in察Thursday morning察half after nine。 ̄
The tail of Mr Snagsby¨s eye becomes conscious of the head of
Mrs Snagsby looking in at the shop´door to know what he means
by deserting his tea。 Mr Snagsby addresses an explanatory cough
to Mrs Snagsby察as who should say察 My dear察a customer 院
^Half after nine察 sir察院 repeats Mr Snagsby。 ^Our law´writers察
who live by job´work察 are a queer lot察 and this may not be his
name察but it¨s the name he goes by。 I remember now察sir察that he
gives it in a written advertisement he sticks up down at the Rule
Office察 and the King¨s Bench Office察 and the Judges¨ Chambers察
and so forth。 You know the kind of document察 sir!wanting
employ拭院
Mr Tulkinghorn glances through the little window at the back
of Coavins¨s察the sheriff¨s officer¨s察where lights shine in Coavins¨s
windows。 Coavins¨s coffee´room is at the back察and the shadows of
several gentlemen under a cloud loom cloudily upon the blinds。
Mr Snagsby takes the opportunity of slightly turning his head察to
glance over his shoulder at his little woman察 and to make
apologetic motions with his mouth to this effect此
