suppose that you  attend  me   for  nothing。   I   am   overwhelming  you 

with   money!in   my   expansive   intentions!if   you   only   knew   it 院

And really he said he meant it to that degree察that he thought it 

much the same as doing it。 If he had had those bits of metal or thin 

paper to which mankind attached so much importance察  to  put  in 

the doctor¨s hand察he  would   have put  them   in   the doctor¨s   hand。 

Not having them察he substituted the will for the deed。 Very well If 

he   really   meant   it!if   his   will  were    genuine     and   real此 which   it 

was!it      appeared      to  him    that   it  was   the   same     as  coin察  and 

cancelled the obligation。

    ^It   may   be察  partly察 because     I  know    nothing     of  the  value   of 

money察院     said   Mr   Skimpole察     but    I  often  feel  this。  It  seems    so 

reasonable My butcher says to me察he wants that little bill。 It¨s a 

part of the pleasant unconscious poetry of the man¨s nature察that 

he always calls it a `little¨ bill!to make the payment appear easy to 

both of us。 I reply to the butcher察My  good   friend察  if  you  knew  it 

you are paid。 You haven¨t had the trouble of coming to ask for the 

little bill。 You are paid。 I mean it。 ̄ 

    ^But察suppose察院said my Guardian察laughing察 he had meant the 

meat in the bill察instead of providing it 院

    ^My dear Jarndyce察院  he   returned察   you  surprise   me。  You  take 

the butcher¨s position。 A butcher I once dealt with察occupied that 

very    ground。     Says    he察  Sir察 why    did   you    eat  spring    lamb    at 

eighteen´pence a pound拭 `Why did I eat spring lamb at eighteen´ 

pence a pound察my honest friend拭院said I察naturally amazed by the 

question。 `I like spring lamb  This was so far convincing。 `Well察sir察

`says he察 I wish I had meant the   lamb as   you  mean   the money 院

`My good fellow察 said I察 pray let us reason like intellectual beings。 

How could that be拭It was impossible。 You had got the lamb察and I 

have     not   got  the   money。     You    couldn¨t    really   mean     the  lamb 

without   sending   it   in察   whereas     I  can察 and   do察  really  mean     the 

money without paying it  He had not a word。 There was an end of 

the subject。 ̄ 

    ^Did he take no legal proceedings拭院inquired my Guardian。 

    ^Yes察  he   took   legal   proceedings察院  said   Mr   Skimpole。   ^But察  in 

that察he was influenced by passion察not by reason。 Passion reminds 

me     of  Boythorn。     He   writes    me    that  you    and   the   ladies   have 

promised him a short visit at his bachelor´house in Lincolnshire。 ̄ 

    ^He is a great favourite with my girls察院said Mr Jarndyce察 and I

have promised for them。 ̄ 

    ^Nature      forgot    to  shade     him    off察 I   think拭院   observed      Mr 

Skimpole to Ada and me。 ^A little too boisterous!like the sea拭A 

little   too   vehement!like   a   bull察  who   has   made   up   his   mind   to 

consider   every   colour   scarlet拭  But察  I   grant   a   sledge´hammering 

sort of merit in him 院

    I   should   have   been   surprised   if   those   two   could   have   thought 

very    highly    of  one    another察   Mr    Boythorn      attaching     so   much 

importance   to  many  things察  and   Mr   Skimpole   caring   so  little   for 

anything。   Besides   which察  I   had   noticed   Mr   Boythorn   more   than 

once on the point of breaking out into some strong opinion察when 

Mr   Skimpole   was   referred   to。   Of   course   I   merely   joined   Ada   in 

saying that we had been greatly pleased with him。 

    ^He   has   invited   me察院  said   Mr   Skimpole察   and   if   a   child   may 

trust himself in such hands此which the present child is encouraged 

to   do察  with   the   united   tenderness   of   two   angels   to   guard   him此  I 

shall go。 He proposes to frank me down and back again。 I suppose 

it will cost money拭Shillings perhaps拭 Or  pounds拭Or  something 

of   that   sort拭  By   the   bye。   Coavinses。    You   remember   our   friend 

Coavinses察Miss Summerson拭院

    He asked me察as   the   subject  arose   in   his  mind察 in  his   graceful 

light´hearted manner察and without the least embarrassment。 

    ^O yes 院said I。 

    ^Coavinses       has  been    arrested    by   the   great   Bailiff察院 said   Mr 

Skimpole。 ^He will never do violence to the sunshine any more。 ̄ 

    It quite shocked me to hear it察for察I had already recalled察with 

anything but a serious association察the image of the man sitting on 

the sofa that night察wiping his head。 

    ^His successor informed me of it yesterday察院said Mr Skimpole。

^His successor is in my house now!in possession察I think he calls 

it。 He came yesterday察on my blue´eyed daughter¨s birthday。 I put 

it   to   him察   This   is   unreasonable   and   inconvenient。   If   you   had   a 

blue´eyed   daughter   you   wouldn¨t   like  me   to   come察  uninvited察  on 

her birthday拭 But察he stayed。 ̄ 

    Mr    Skimpole     laughed     at  the   pleasant    absurdity察   and    lightly 

touched the piano by which he was seated。 

    ^And   he   told   me察院  he   said察  playing   little   chords   where   I   shall 

put    full  stops察   That    Coavinses      had    left。  Three    children。    No 

mother。     And   that    Coavinses¨     profession。    Being    unpopular。      The 

rising Coavinses。 Were at a considerable disadvantage。 ̄ 

    Mr Jarndyce got up察rubbing his head察and began to walk about。 

Mr  Skimpole   played   the   melody   of   one   of   Ada¨s   favourite   songs。 

Ada   and   I   both   looked   at   Mr   Jarndyce察  thinking   that   we   knew 

what was passing in his mind。 

    After    walking察   and    stopping察   and    several    times    leaving    off 

rubbing his head察and beginning again察my Guardian put his hand 

upon   the   keys   and   stopped   Mr   Skimpole¨s   playing。   ^I   don¨t   like 

this察Skimpole察院he said thoughtfully。 

    Mr   Skimpole察  who   had   quite   forgotten   the   subject察  looked   up 

surprised。 

    ^The     man    was    necessary察院    pursued      my   Guardian察     walking 

backward and forward in the very short space between the piano 

and the end of the room察and rubbing his hair up from the back of 

his head as if a high east wind had blown it into that form。 ^If we 

make such men necessary by our faults and follies察or by our want 

of worldly knowledge察or by our misfortunes察we must not revenge 

ourselves      upon    them。     There    was    no   harm     in  his   trade。   He 

maintained his children。 One would like to know more about this。 ̄

    ^O Coavinses拭院cried Mr Skimpole察at length perceiving what 

he   meant。   ^Nothing   easier。   A   walk   to   Coavinses¨     headquarters察

and you can know what you will。 ̄ 

   Mr     Jarndyce    nodded     to  us察 who    were   only   waiting    for  the 

signal。 ^Come We will walk that way察my dears。 Why not that way察

as   soon   as   another 院  We   were   quickly   ready察  and   w
