    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

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
