alone察 until other settlers came to join him察 or察 whether the
traditional title is a comprehensive name for a retreat cut off from
honest company and put out of the pale of hope察perhaps nobody
knows。 Certainly察Jo don¨t know。
^For I don¨t察院says Jo察 I don¨t know nothink。 ̄
It must be a strange state to be like Jo To shuffle through the
streets察unfamiliar with the shapes察and in utter darkness as to the
meaning察 of those mysterious symbols察 so abundant over the
shops察and at the corners of streets察and on the doors察and in the
windows To see people read察and to see people write察and to see

the postmen deliver letters察 and not to have the least idea of all
that language!to be察to every scrap of it察stone blind and dumb It
must be very puzzling to see the good company going to the
churches on Sundays察with their books in their hands察and to think
for perhaps Jo does think察at odd times what does it all mean察and
if it means anything to anybody察 how comes it that it means
nothing to me拭 To be hustled察 and jostled察 and moved on察 and
really to feel that it would appear to be perfectly true that I have
no business察here察or there察or anywhere察and yet to be perplexed
by the consideration that I am here察somehow察too察and everybody
overlooked me until I became the creature that I am It must be a
strange state察not merely to be told that I am scarcely human as in
the case of my offering myself for a witness察 but to feel it of my
own knowledge all my life To see the horses察dogs察and cattle察go
by me察and to know that in ignorance I belong to them察and not to
the superior beings in my shape察 whose delicacy I offend Jo¨s
ideas of a Criminal Trial察 or a Judge察 or a Bishop察 or a
Government察or that inestimable jewel to him if he only knew it
the Constitution察 should be strange His whole material and
immaterial life is wonderfully strange察 his death察 the strangest
thing of all。
Jo comes out of Tom´all´Alone¨s察 meeting the tardy morning
which is always late in getting down there察and munches his dirty
bit of bread as he comes along。 His way lying through many
streets察 and the houses not yet being open察 he sits down to
breakfast on the doorstep of the Society for the Propagation of the
Gospel in Foreign Parts察and gives it a brush when he has finished察
as an acknowledgment of the accommodation。 He admires the size
of the edifice察 and wonders what it¨s all about。 He has no idea察

poor wretch察 of the spiritual destitution of a coral reef in the
Pacific察 or what it costs to look up the precious souls among the
cocoa´nuts and bread´fruit。
He goes to his crossing察and begins to lay it out for the day。 The
town awakes察 the great tee´totum is set up for its daily spin and
whirl察all that unaccountable reading and writing察which has been
suspended for a few hours察recommences。 Jo察and the other lower
animals察get on in the unintelligible mess as they can。 It is market´
day。 The blinded oxen察 over´goaded察 over´driven察 never´guided察
run into wrong places and are beaten out察 and plunge察 red´eyed
and foaming察 at stone walls察 and often sorely hurt the innocent察
and often sorely hurt themselves。 Very like Jo and his order察very察
very like
A band of music comes and plays。 Jo listens to it。 So does a
dog!a drover¨s dog察 waiting for his master outside a butcher¨s
shop察and evidently thinking about those sheep he has had upon
his mind for some hours察and is happily rid of。 He seems perplexed
respecting three or four察can¨t remember where he left them察looks
up and down the street察 as half expecting to see them astray察
suddenly pricks up his ears and remembers all about it。 A
thoroughly vagabond dog察accustomed to low company and public´
houses察a terrific dog to sheep察ready at a whistle to scamper over
their backs察and tear out mouthfuls of their wool察but an educated察
improved察 developed dog察 who has been taught his duties and
knows how to discharge them。 He and Jo listen to the music察
probably with much the same amount of animal satisfaction察
likewise察 as to awakened association察 aspiration察 or regret察
melancholy or joyful reference to things beyond the senses察 they
are probably upon a par。 But察otherwise察how far above the human

listener is the brute
Turn that dog¨s descendants wild察 like Jo察 and in a very few
years they will so degenerate that they will lose even their bark!
but not their bite。
The day changes as it wears itself away察and becomes dark and
drizzly。 Jo fights it out察 at his crossing察 among the mud and
wheels察 the horses察 whips察 and umbrellas察 and gets but a scanty
sum to pay for the unsavoury shelter of Tom´all´Alone¨s。 Twilight
comes on察gas begins to start up in the shops察the lamplighter察with
his ladder察 runs along the margin of the pavement。 A wretched
evening is beginning to close in。
In his chambers察Mr Tulkinghorn sits meditating an application
to the nearest magistrate tomorrow morning for a warrant。
Gridley察a disappointed suitor察has been here today察and has been
alarming。 We are not to be put in bodily fear察 and that ill´
conditioned fellow shall be held to bail again。 From the ceiling察
foreshortened Allegory察 in the person of one impossible Roman
upside down察points with the arm of Samson out of joint察and an
odd one察 obtrusively toward the window。 Why should Mr
Tulkinghorn察for such no reason察look out of window拭Is the hand
not always pointing there拭So he does not look out of window。
And if he did察what would it be to see a woman going by拭There
are women enough in the world察 Mr Tulkinghorn thinks!too
many察they are at the bottom of all that goes wrong in it察though察
for the matter of that察 they create business for lawyers。 What
would it be to see a woman going by察even though she were going
secretly拭 They are all secret。 Mr Tulkinghorn knows that察 very
well。
But they are not all like the woman who now leaves him and his

manner察there is something exceedingly inconsistent。 She should
