brought her something nearer to him。
^This ends it。 Of all my old associations�察�of all my old pursuits
and hopes�察�of all the living and the dead world�察�this one poor soul
alone comes natural to me�察�and I am fit for。 There is a tie of many
suffering years�察�between us two�察�and it is the only tie I ever had on
earth that Chancery has not broken。 ̄
^Accept my blessing�察�Gridley�察院�said Miss Flite�察�in tears。 ^Accept
my blessing� 院�
^I thought�察�boastfully�察�that they never could break my heart�察�Mr
Jarndyce。 I was resolved that they should not。 I did believe that I

could�察�and would�察�charge them with being the mockery they were�察�
until I died of some bodily disorder。 But I am worn out。 How long I
have been wearing out�察�I don¨t know�察�I seemed to break down in
an hour。 I hope they may never come to hear of it。 I hope
everybody here will lead them to believe that I died defying them�察�
consistently and perseveringly�察�as I did through so many years。 ̄
Here Mr Bucket�察�who was sitting in a corner�察�by the door�察�good´
naturedly offered such consolation as he could administer。
^Come�察 �come� 院 �he said�察 �from his corner。 ^Don¨t go on in that
way�察�Mr Gridley。 You are only a little low。 We are all of us a little
low�察 �sometimes。 I am。 Hold up�察 �hold up� �You¨ll lose your temper
with the whole round of ¨em�察�again and again�察�and I shall take you
on a score of warrants yet�察�if I have luck。 ̄
He only shook his head。
^Don¨t shake your head�察院�said Mr Bucket。 ^Nod it�察�that¨s what I
want to see you do。 Why�察�Lord bless your soul�察�what times we have
had together� �Haven¨t I seen you in the Fleet over and over again�察�
for contempt�拭 �Haven¨t I came into Court twen´ty afternoons�察 �for
no other purpose than to see you pin the Chancellor like a
bulldog�拭 �Don¨t you remember�察 �when you first began to threaten
the lawyers�察 �and the peace was sworn against you two or three
times a week�拭 �Ask the little old lady there�察 �she has been always
present。 Hold up�察�Mr Gridley�察�hold up�察�sir� 院�
^What are you going to do about him�拭院�asked George in a low
voice。
^I don¨t know yet�察院 �said Bucket in the same tone。 Then
resuming his encouragement�察�he pursued aloud�此�
^Worn out�察�Mr Gridley�拭�After dodging me for all these weeks�察�
and forcing me to climb the roof here like a Tom Cat�察�and to come

to see you as a Doctor�拭 �That ain¨t like being worn out。 I should
think not� �Now I tell you what you want。 You want excitement�察�
you know�察�to keep you up�察�that¨s what you want。 You¨re used to it�察�
and you can¨t do without it。 I couldn¨t myself。 Very well�察 �then�察�
here¨s this warrant got by Mr Tulkinghorn of Lincoln¨s Inn Fields�察�
and backed into half´a´dozen counties since。 What do you say to
coming along with me�察 �upon this warrant�察 �and having a good
angry argument before the magistrates�拭 �It¨ll do you good�察 �it¨ll
freshen you up�察�and get you into training for another turn at the
Chancellor。 Give in�拭 �Why I am surprised to hear a man of your
energy talk of giving in。 You mustn¨t do that。 You¨re half the fun of
the fair�察�in the Court of Chancery。 George�察�you lend Mr Gridley a
hand�察 �and let¨s see now whether he won¨t be better up than
down。 ̄
^He is very weak�察院�said the trooper�察�in a low voice。
^Is he�拭院�returned Bucket�察�anxiously。 ^I only want to rouse him。
I don¨t like to see an old acquaintance giving in like this。 It would
cheer him up more than anything if I could make him a little waxy
with me。 He¨s welcome to drop into me�察�right and left�察�if he likes。 I
shall never take advantage of it。 ̄
The roof rang with a scream from Miss Flite�察�which still rings in
my ears。
^O no�察 �Gridley� 院 �she cried�察 �as he fell heavily and calmly back
from before her。 ^Not without my blessing。 After so many years� 院�
Then the sun was down�察�the light had gradually stolen from the
roof�察�and the shadow had crept upward。 But�察�to me�察�the shadow of
that pair�察 �one living and one dead�察 �fell heavier on Richard¨s
departure�察 �than the darkness of the darkest night。 And through

Richard¨s farewell words I heard it echoed。
^Of all my old associations�察�of all my old pursuits and hopes�察�of

Chapter 25
Mrs Snagsby Sees It All
here is disquietude in Cook¨s Court�察�Cursitor Street。 Black
suspicion hides in that peaceful region。 The mass of
T
Cook¨s Courtiers are in their usual state of mind�察�no better
and no worse�察�but�察 �Mr Snagsby is changed�察 �and his little woman
knows it。
For�察 �Tom´all´Alone¨s and Lincoln¨s Inn Fields persist in
harnessing themselves�察 �a pair of ungovernable coursers�察 �to the
chariot of Mr Snagsby¨s imagination�察�and Mr Bucket drives�察 �and
the passengers are Jo and Mr Tulkinghorn�察 �and the complete
equipage whirls through the Law Stationery business at wild
speed�察�all round the clock。 Even in the little front kitchen where
the family meals are taken�察�it rattles away at a smoking pace from
the dinner table�察�when Mr Snagsby pauses in carving the first slice
of the leg of mutton baked with potatoes�察�and stares at the kitchen
wall。
Mr Snagsby can not make out what it is that he has had to do
with。 Something is wrong�察�somewhere�察�but what something�察�what
may come of it�察�to whom�察�when�察�and from which unthought´of and
unheard´of quarter�察 �is the puzzle of his life。 His remote
impressions of the robes and coronets�察�the stars and garters�察�that
sparkle through the surface´dust of Mr Tulkinghorn¨s chambers�察�
his veneration for the mysteries presided over by that best and
closest of his customers�察�whom all the Inns of Court�察�and Chancery
Lane�察 �and all the legal neighbourhood agree to hold in awe�察 �his

remembrance of Detective Mr Bucket with his forefinger�察�and his
confidential manner impossible to be evaded or declined�察�
persuade him that he is a party to some dangerous secret�察�without
knowing what it is。 And it is the fearful peculiarity of this
condition�察�that�察�at any hour of his daily life�察�at any opening of the
shop´door�察�at any pull of the bell�察�at any entrance of a messenger�察�
or any delivery of a letter�察 �the secret may take air and fire�察�
explode�察�and blow up!Mr Bucket only knows whom。
For which reason�察 �whenever a man unknown comes into the
shop ��as many men unknown do���察�and says�察 �Is Mr Snagsby in�拭院�
or words to that innocent effect�察�Mr Snagsby¨s heart knocks hard
at his guilty breast。 He undergoes so much from such inquiries�察�
that when they are made by boys he revenges himself by flipping
at their ears over the counter�察 �and asking the young dogs what
they meant by it�察 �and why they can¨t speak out at once�拭 �More
impracticable men and boys persist in walking into Mr Snagsby¨s
sleep�察 �and terrifying him with unaccountable questions�察 �so that
often�察 �when the cock at the little dairy in Cursitor Street breaks
out in his usual absurd way about the morning�察�Mr Snagsby finds
himself in a crisis of nightmare�察�with his little woman shaking him�察�
and saying�察 �What¨s the matter with the man� 院�
The little woman herself is not the least item in his difficulty。 To
know that he is always keeping a secret from her�察 �that he has�察�
under all circumstances�察�to conceal and hold fast a tender double
tooth�察�which her sharpness is ever ready to twist out of his head�察�
gives Mr Snagsby�察�in her dentistical presence�察�much of the air of a
dog who has a reservation from his master�察�and will look anywhere
rather than meet his eye。
These various signs and tokens�察 �marked by the little woman�察�
