    ^Wi¨   yor   pardon�察  �sir�察院  �said   Stephen   Blackpool�察   �I   ha¨   nowt   to 

sen about it。 ̄ 

    Mr    Bounderby�察      �who   was    always    more    or   less  like  a  Wind�察�

finding something in his way here�察�began to blow at it directly。 

    ^Now�察  �look   here�察  �Harthouse�察院  �said   he�察   �here¨s   a   specimen   of 

¨em。   When   this   man   was   here   once   before�察  �I   warned       this   man 

against the mischievous strangers who are always about!and who 

ought to be hanged wherever they are found!and I told this man 

that he was going in the wrong direction。 Now�察�would you believe 

it�察�that although  they  have   put  this   mark   upon   him�察  �he   is such  a 

slave to them still�察�that he¨s afraid to open his lips about them�拭院�

    ^I sed as I had nowt to sen�察�sir�察�not as I was fearfo o¨ openin¨ my 

lips。 ̄ 

    ^You  said。   Ah� �I  know  what  you   said�察  �more   than   that�察  �I   know 

what you mean�察�you see。 Not always the same thing�察�by the Lord 

Harry� �Quite different things。 You had better tell us at once�察�that 

that fellow Slackbridge is not in the town�察�stirring up the people to 

mutiny�察�and that he is not a regular qualified leader of the people�此�

that is�察�a most confounded scoundrel。 You had better tell us so at 

once�察  �you   can¨t   deceive   me。   You   want   to   tell   us   so。   Why   don¨t 

you�拭院�

    ^I¨m as sooary as yo�察�sir�察�when the people¨s leaders is bad�察院�said 

Stephen�察�shaking his head。 ^They taks such as offers。 Haply ¨tis na¨ 

the sma¨est o¨ their misfortuns when they can get no better。 ̄ 

    The wind began to get boisterous。 

    ^Now�察     �you¨ll   think    this  pretty    well�察  �Harthouse�察院      �said   Mr 

Bounderby。 ^You¨ll think this tolerably strong。 You¨ll say�察�upon my 

soul this is a tidy specimen of what my friends have to deal with�察�

but this is nothing�察�sir� �You shall hear me ask this man a question。

Pray�察  �Mr   Blackpool ̄!wind   springing   up   very   fast!^may   I   take 

the liberty of asking you how it happens that you refused to be in 

this Combination�拭院�

    ^How¨t happens�拭院�

    ^Ah� 院  �said   Mr  Bounderby�察  �with  his   thumbs in   the   arms   of  his 

coat�察�and jerking his head and shutting his eyes in confidence with 

the opposite wall�此 �how it happens。 ̄ 

    ^I¨d liefer  not  coom  to  ¨t�察  �sir�察  �but sin  you  put  th¨   question!an 

not want¨n t¨ be ill´manner¨n!I¨ll answer。 I ha passed a promess。 ̄ 

    ^Not  to  me�察  �you  know�察院�said   Bounderby。   ��Gusty   weather   with 

deceitful calms。 One now prevailing。�� ^O no�察�sir。 Not to yo。 ̄ 

    ^As for me�察�any consideration for me has had just nothing at all 

to do with it�察院�said Bounderby�察�still in confidence with the wall。 ^If 

only   Josiah   Bounderby   of   Coketown   had   been   in   question�察  �you 

would have joined and made no bones of it�拭院�

    ^Why yes�察�sir。 ¨Tis true。 ̄ 

    ^Though  he  knows�察院  �said   Mr  Bounderby�察  �now blowing  a   gale�察�

^that these are a set of rascals and rebels whom transportation is 

too good for� �Now�察�Mr Hart house�察�you have been knocking about 

in the world some time。 Did you ever meet with anything like that 

man out of this blessed country�拭院�And Mr Bounderby pointed him 

out for inspection�察�with an angry finger。 

    ^Nay�察  �ma¨am�察院  �said   Stephen       Blackpool�察   �staunchly   protesting 

against the words that had been used�察�and instinctively addressing 

himself to Louisa�察�after glancing at her  face。 ^Not  rebels�察�nor  yet 

rascals。 Nowt o¨ th¨ kind�察�ma¨am�察�nowt o th¨ kind。 They¨ve not doon 

me a kindness�察�ma¨am�察�as I know and feel。 But�察�there¨s not a dozen 

men amoong ¨em�察�ma¨am!a dozen�拭�Not six!but what believes as 

he has doon his duty by the rest and by himseln。 God forbid as I�察�

    He    spoke     with    the   rugged     earnestness       of  his   place    and 

character!deepened   perhaps   by   a   proud   consciousness   that   he 

was     faithful  to   his  class   under    all  their  mistrust�察   �but   he   fully 

remembered where he was�察�and did not even raise his voice。 

    ^No   ma¨am�察  �no。   They¨re   true   to   one   another�察      �faithfo¨  to   one 

another�察�fectionate to one another�察�e¨en to death。 Be poor amoong

    ^In short�察院�said Mr Bounderby�察 �it¨s because they are so full of 

virtues that they have turned you adrift。 Go through with it while 

you are about it。 Out with it。 ̄ 

    ^How ¨tis�察�ma¨am�察院�resumed Stephen�察�appearing still to find his 

natural refuge in Louisa¨s face�察 �that what is best in us fok�察�seems 

to turn us most  to  trouble   an   misfort¨n an mistake�察  �I  dunno。   But 

¨tis   so。   I   know   ¨tis�察  �as   I   know   the   heavens   is   over   me   ahint   the 

smoke。 We¨re patient too�察�and wants in general to do  right。   An¨   I 

canna think the fawt is aw wi¨ us。 ̄ 

    ^Now�察�my friend�察院�said Mr Bounderby�察�whom he could not have 

exasperated more�察�quite unconscious of it though he was�察�than by 

seeming to appeal to any one else�察 �if you will favour me with your 

attention   for   half   a   minute�察  �I   should   like   to   have   a   word   or   two 

with you。 You said just now�察�that you had nothing to tell us about

further�拭院�

    ^Sir�察�I am sure on ¨t。 ̄ 

    ^Here¨s     a  gentleman     from    London     present�察院   �Mr    Bounderby 

made      a  back´handed       point   at   Mr   James     Harthouse      with   his 

thumb�察 �Parliament gentleman。 I should like him to  hear a   short 

bit   of   dialogue    between      you   and    me�察  �instead     of  taking    the 

substance of it!for I know precious well�察�before´hand�察�what it will 

be�察   �nobody     knows    better    than   I  do�察  �take   notice� �instead       of 

receiving it on trust�察�from your mouth。 ̄ 

    Stephen   bent   his     head   to  the   gentleman      from   London�察    �and 

showed   a   rather   more   troubled   mind   than   usual。   He   turned   his 

eyes   involuntarily   to   his   former   refuge�察  �but   at   a   look   from   that 

quarter ��expressive though instantaneous�� he settled them on Mr 

Bounderby¨s face。 

    ^Now�察�what do you complain of�拭院�asked Mr Bounderby。 

    ^I ha¨ not coom here�察�sir�察院�Stephen reminded him�察 �to complain。 

I coom for that I were sent for。 ̄

people�察�in a general way�察�complain of�拭院�

    Stephen      looked    at  him    with    some    little  irresolution    for  a 

moment�察�and seemed to make up his mind。 

    ^Sir�察  �I   were   never   good   at   showin   o¨t�察  �though   I   ha   had¨n   my 

share   in   feeling   o¨t。   ¨Deed   we   are   in   a   muddle�察  �sir。   Look   round
