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

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

    ^Don¨t shake your head�察院�said Mr Bucket。 ^Nod it�察�that¨s what I

here¨s this warrant got by Mr Tulkinghorn of Lincoln¨s Inn Fields�察�

hand�察    �and   let¨s  see   now    whether     he   won¨t    be   better   up   than

    ^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

shall never take advantage of it。 ̄ 

    The roof rang with a scream from Miss Flite�察�which still rings in 

my ears。

                      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

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

shop´door�察�at any pull of the bell�察�at any entrance of a messenger�察�

    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。
