nocturnal      examinations        of  Mr    Snagsby¨s      pockets�察    �to  secret 

perusals of Mr Snagsby¨s letters�察�to private researches in the Day

windows�察  �listenings   behind   doors�察  �and   a   general   putting   of   this 

and that together by the wrong end。 

    Mrs    Snagsby     is  so  perpetually     on   the  alert�察 �that   the  house 

becomes ghostly with creaking boards and rustling garments。 The 

¨prentices     think   somebody      may    have    been   murdered       there�察 �in 

bygone times。 Guster holds certain loose atoms of an idea ��picked

orphans���察     �that   there   is  buried    money      underneath      the   cellar�察�

guarded by an old man with a white beard�察�who cannot get out for 

seven      thousand      years�察  �because      he   said   the    Lord¨s    Prayer 

backwards。

herself。 ^Who was that lady!that creature�拭�And who is that boy�拭院�

Now�察�Nimrod being as dead as the mighty hunter whose name Mrs 

Snagsby  has   appropriated�察  �and   the   lady being   unproducible�察  �she 

directs her mental eye�察�for the present�察�with redoubled   vigilance�察�

to the boy。 ^And who�察院�quoth Mrs Snagsby�察�for the thousand and

seized with an inspiration。
