through a chain of fits察with short intervals between察of which she 

has pathetically availed herself by consuming them in entreaties to 

Mrs Snagsby not to give her warning ^when she quite comes to察院

the stones察and go to bed。 Hence察Mr Snagsby察at last hearing the 

cock at the little dairy in Cursitor Street go into that disinterested 

ecstacy   of    his   on  the   subject   of   daylight察   says察  drawing     a  long 

breath察though the most patient of men察 I thought you was dead察I 

am sure 院

    What question this enthusiastic fowl supposes   he   settles   when 

he strains himself to such an extent察or why he should thus crow 

so   men   crow   on   various   triumphant   public   occasions察  however 

about   what   cannot   be   of   any   moment   to   him察  is   his   affair。   It   is 

enough that daylight comes察morning comes察noon comes。 

    Then   the   active   and   intelligent察  who  has   got  into  the   morning 

papers   as   such察  comes   with   his   pauper   company   to   Mr   Krook¨s察

and   bears   off   the   body   of   our   dear   brother   here   departed察  to   a 

hemmed´in          churchyard察       pestiferous       and     obscene察      whence 

malignant   diseases   are   communicated   to   the   bodies   of   our   dear 

brothers      and    sisters   who     have    not   departed察    while     our   dear 

brothers and sisters who hang about official back´stairs!would to 

Heaven   they had  departed are   very  complacent and   agreeable。 

Into   a   beastly   scrap   of   ground   which   a   Turk   would   reject   as   a 

savage   abomination察  and   a   Caffre   would   shudder   at察  they   bring 

our dear brother here departed察to receive Christian burial。 

    With   houses   looking   on察  on   every   side察  save   where   a   reeking 

little   tunnel   of   a   court   gives   access   to   the   iron   gate!with   every 

villany     of  life  in  action    close   on    death察   and    every    poisonous 

element of death in action close on life!here察they lower our dear 

brother   down   a   foot   or   two此  here察  sow   him   in   corruption察  to   be 

raised in corruption此an avenging ghost at many a sick´bedside此a 

shameful testimony to future ages察how civilisation and barbarism 

walked this boastful island together。

    Come night察come darkness察for  you  cannot  come   too  soon察  or 

stay too long察by such a place as this Come察straggling lights into 

the windows of the ugly houses察and you who do iniquity therein察

do it at least with this dread scene  shut  out  Come察  flame   of  gas察

burning so sullenly above the iron gate察on which the poisoned air 

deposits its witch´ointment slimy to the touch It is   well   that  you 

should call to every passer´by察 Look here 院

    With   the   night察  comes   a   slouching   figure   through   the   tunnel´ 

court察  to   the   outside   of   the   iron   gate。   It   holds   the   gate   with   its 

hands察and looks in between the bars察stands looking in察for a little 

while。 

    It then察with an old broom it carries察softly sweeps the step察and 

makes the archway clean。 It does so察very busily and trimly察looks 

in again察a little while察and so departs。 

    Jo察is it thou拭Well察well Though a rejected witness察who ^can¨t 

exactly say ̄ what will be done to him in greater hands than men¨s察

thou   art   not   quite   in   outer   darkness。   There   is   something   like   a 

distant ray of light in thy muttered reason for this此

      t  has    left  off  raining    down     in   Lincolnshire察     at  last察 and 

IChesney           Wold     has   taken    heart。   Mrs   Rouncewell       is  full  of 

      hospitable   cares察  for   Sir   Leicester   and   my   Lady   are   coming 

home   from   Paris。   The   fashionable   intelligence   has   found   it   out察

and  communicates  the   glad   tidings   to   benighted   England。   It   has 

also     found     out察   that    they    will   entertain      a   brilliant    and 

distinguished circle of the └lite of the beau monde the fashionable 

intelligence is weak in English察but a giant´refreshed in French察at 

the ancient and hospitable family seat in Lincolnshire。 

    For the greater honour of the brilliant and distinguished circle察

and   of   Chesney   Wold   into   the   bargain察  the   broken   arch   of       the 

bridge in the park is mended察and the water察now retired within its 

proper limits and again spanned gracefully察makes a figure in the 

prospect from the house。 The clear cold sunshine glances into the 

brittle woods察and approvingly beholds the sharp wind scattering 

the   leaves   and drying   the   moss。   It   glides   over   the   park   after   the 

moving      shadows      of   the   clouds察   and   chases     them察   and    never 

catches them察all day。 It looks in at the windows察and touches the 

ancestral     portraits    with   bars    and   patches     of  brightness察    never 

contemplated   by   the   painters。   Athwart   the   picture   of   my   Lady察

over   the   great   chimney´piece察  it   throws   a   broad   bend´sinister   of 

light   that   strikes   down   crookedly   into   the   hearth察  and   seems   to 

rend it。 

    Through the same cold sunshine察and the same sharp wind察my

bare´backed horses察and two Centaurs with glazed hats察jackboots察

gloomy Cathedral of our Lady察to say a word or two at the base of a 

pillar察  within    flare   of  a  rusty    little  gridiron´full    of  gusty    little
