among us�察 �my friends�察院 �and Mr Chadband�察 �untwisting the point
with his dirty thumbnail�察 �bestows an oily smile on Mr Snagsby�察�
signifying that he will throw him an argumentative back!fall
presently if he be not already down�察 �a brother and a boy。 Devoid
of parents�察�devoid of relations�察�devoid of flocks and herds�察�devoid
of gold and silver�察�and of precious stones。 Now�察�my friends�察�why do
I say he is devoid of these possessions�拭 �Why�拭 �Why is he�拭院 �Mr
Chadband states the question as if he were propounding an
entirely new riddle�察�of much ingenuity and merit�察�to Mr Snagsby�察�
and entreating him not to give it up。 Mr Snagsby�察 �greatly
perplexed by the mysterious look he received just now from his
little woman!at about the period when Mr Chadband mentioned
the word parents!is tempted into modestly remarking�察 �I don¨t
know�察�I¨m sure�察�sir。 ̄ On which interruption�察�Mrs Chadband glares�察�
and Mrs Snagsby says�察 �For shame� 院�
^I hear a voice�察院 �says Chadband�察 �is it a still small voice�察 �my
friends�拭�I fear not�察�though I fain would hope so! ̄
�─�Ah´h� 院�from Mrs Snagsby。��
^Which says�察�I don¨t know。 Then I will tell you why。 I say this
brother�察 �present here among us�察 �is devoid of parents�察 �devoid of
relations�察�devoid of flocks and herds�察�devoid of gold�察�of silver�察�and
of precious stones�察�because he is devoid of the light that shines in
upon some of us。 What is that light�拭�What is it�拭�I ask you what is
that light�拭院�

Mr Chadband draws back his head and pauses�察�but Mr Snagsby
is not to be lured on to his destruction again。 Mr Chadband�察�
leaning forward over the table�察�pierces what he has got to follow�察�
directly into Mr Snagsby�察�with the thumbnail already mentioned。
^It is�察院 �says Chadband�察 �the ray of rays�察 �the sun of suns�察 �the
moon of moons�察�the star of stars。 It is the light of Terewth。 ̄
Mr Chadband draws himself up again�察�and looks triumphantly
at Mr Snagsby�察�as if he would be glad to know how he feels after
that。
^Of Terewth�察院�says Mr Chadband�察 �hitting him again。 ^Say not
to me that it is not the lamp of lamps。 I say to you�察�it is。 I say to you�察�
a million of times over�察�it is。 It is� �I say to you that I will proclaim it
to you�察�whether you like it or not�察�nay�察�that the less you like it�察�the
more I will proclaim it to you。 With a speaking´trumpet� �I say to
you that if you rear yourself against it�察�you shall fall�察�you shall be
bruised�察 �you shall be battered�察 �you shall be flawed�察 �you shall be
smashed。 ̄
The present effect of this flight of oratory!much admired for
its general power by Mr Chadband¨s followers!being not only to
make Mr Chadband unpleasantly warm�察 �but to represent the
innocent Mr Snagsby in the light of a determined enemy to virtue�察�
with a forehead of brass and a heart of adamant�察�that unfortunate
tradesman becomes yet more disconcerted�察 �and is in a very
advanced state of low spirits and false position�察 �when Mr
Chadband accidentally finishes him。
^My friends�察院�he resumes�察�after dabbing his fat head for some
time!and it smokes to such an extent that he seems to light his
pocket´handkerchief at it�察�which smokes�察�too�察�after every dab!^to
pursue the subject we are endeavouring with our lowly gifts to

improve�察�let us in a spirit of love inquire what is that Terewth to
which I have alluded。 For�察 �my young friends�察院 �suddenly
addressing the ¨prentices and Guster�察�to their consternation�察 �if I
am told by the doctor that calomel or castor´oil is good for me�察 �I
may naturally ask what is calomel�察 �and what is castor´oil。 I may
wish to be informed of that�察 �before I dose myself with either or
with both。 Now�察 �my young friends�察 �what is this Terewth�察 �then�拭�
Firstly ��in a spirit of love���察�what is the common sort of Terewth!
the working clothes!the every´day wear�察�my young friends�拭�Is it
deception�拭院�
�─�Ah´h� 院�from Mrs Snagsby。��
^Is it suppression�拭院�
��A shiver in the negative from Mrs Snagsby。��
^Is it reservation�拭院�
��A shake of the head from Mrs Snagsby!very long and very
tight。��
^No�察�my friends�察 �it is neither of these。 Neither of these names
belongs to it。 When this young Heathen now among us!who is
now�察 �my friends�察 �asleep�察 �the seal of indifference and perdition
being set upon his eyelids�察�but do not wake him�察�for it is right that
I should have to wrestle�察 �and to combat and to struggle�察 �and to
conquer�察�for his sake!when this young hardened Heathen told us
a story of a Cock�察�and of a Bull�察�and of a lady�察�and of a sovereign�察�
was that the Terewth�拭�No。 Or�察�if it was partly�察�was it wholly�察�and
entirely�拭�No�察�my friends�察�no� 院�
If Mr Snagsby could withstand his little woman¨s look�察 �as it
enters at his eyes�察�the windows of his soul�察�and searches the whole
tenement�察 �he were other than the man he is。 He cowers and
droops。

^Or�察 �my juvenile friends�察院 �says Chadband�察 �descending to the
level of their comprehension�察�with a very obtrusive demonstration�察�
in his greasily meek smile�察�of coming a long way downstairs for the
purpose�察 �if the master of this house was to go forth into the city
and there see an eel�察�and was to come back�察�and was to call untoe
him the mistress of this house�察�and was to say�察 �Sarah�察�rejoice with
me�察�for I have seen an elephant� � would that be Terewth�拭院�
Mrs Snagsby in tears。
^Or put it�察 �my juvenile friends�察 �that he saw an elephant�察 �and
returning said `Lo�察�the city is barren�察�I have seen but an eel�察� would
that be Terewth�拭院�
Mrs Snagsby sobbing loudly。
^Or put it�察�my juvenile friends�察院�says Chadband�察�stimulated by
the sound�察 �that the unnatural parents of this slumbering
Heathen!for parents he had�察 �my juvenile friends�察 �beyond a
doubt!after casting him forth to the wolves and the vultures�察�and
the wild dogs and the young gazelles�察�and the serpents�察�went back
to their dwellings and had their pipes�察 �and their pots�察 �and their
flutings and their dancings�察 �and their malt liquors�察 �and their
butcher¨s meat and poultry�察�would that be Terewth� 院�
Mrs Snagsby replies by delivering herself a prey to spasms�察�not
an unresisting prey�察�but a crying and a tearing one�察�so that Cook¨s
Court re´echoes with her shrieks。 Finally�察�becoming cataleptic�察�she
has to be carried up the narrow staircase like a grand piano。 After
unspeakable suffering�察 �productive of the utmost consternation�察�
she is pronounced�察�by expresses from the bedroom�察�free from pain�察�
though much exhausted�察 �in which state of affairs Mr Snagsby�察�
trampled and crushed in the piano´forte removal�察 �and extremely
timid and feeble�察�ventures to come out from behind the door in the

drawing´room。
All this time�察�Jo has been standing on the spot where he woke
up�察�ever picking his cap�察�and putting bits of fur in his mouth。 He
spits them out with a remorseful air�察 �for he feels that it is in his
nature to be an unimprovable reprobate�察�and that it¨s no good his
trying to keep awake�察�for he won¨t never know nothink。 Though it
may be�察�Jo�察�that there is a history so interesting and affecting even
to minds as near the brutes as thine�察�recording deeds done on this
earth for common men�察�that if the Chadbands�察�removing their own
persons from the light�察�would but show it thee in simple reverence�察�
would but leave it unimproved�察 �would but regard it as being
eloquent enough without their modest aid!it might hold thee
awake�察�and thou might learn from it yet� �
Jo never heard of any such book。 Its compilers�察 �and the
Reverend Chadband�察�are all one to him!except that he knows the
Reverend Chadband�察�and would rather run away from him for an
hour than hear him talk for five minutes。 ^It an¨t no good my
waiting here no longer�察院�thinks Jo。 ^Mr Snagsby an¨t a going to say
nothink to me tonight。 ̄ And downstairs he shuffles。
But downstairs is the charitable Guster�察 �holding by the hand´
rail of the kitchen stairs�察�and warding off a fit�察 �as yet doubtfully�察�
the same having been induced by Mrs Snagsby¨s screaming。 She
has her own supper of bread and che
