the same having been induced by Mrs Snagsby¨s screaming。 She
has her own supper of bread and cheese to hand to Jo�察�with whom
she ventures to interchange a word or so�察�for the first time。

Jo stops in the middle of a bite�察 �and looks petrified。 For this
orphan charge of the Christian Saint whose shrine was at Tooting�察�
has patted him on the shoulder�察�and it is the first time in his life
that any decent hand has been so laid upon him。
^I never know¨d nothink about ¨em�察院�says Jo。
^No more didn¨t I of mine�察院 �cries Guster。 She is repressing
symptoms favourable to the fit�察�when she seems to take alarm at
something�察�and vanishes down the stairs。
^Jo�察院�whispers the law´stationer softly�察�as the boy lingers on the
step。
^Here I am�察�Mr Snagsby。 ̄
^I didn¨t know you were gone!there¨s another half´crown�察�Jo。
It was quite right of you to say nothing about the lady the other
night when we were out together。 It would breed trouble。 You
can¨t be too quiet�察�Jo。 ̄
^I am fly�察�master� 院�
And so�察�good night。
A ghostly shade�察 �frilled and night´capped�察 �follows the law´
stationer to the room he came from�察 �and glides higher up。 And
henceforth he begins�察�go where he will�察�to be attended by another
shadow than his own�察 �hardly less constant than his own�察 �hardly
less quiet than his own。 And into whatsoever atmosphere of
secrecy his own shadow may pass�察�let all concerned in the secrecy
beware� �For the watchful Mrs Snagsby is there too!bone of his
bone�察�flesh of his flesh�察�shadow of his shadow。

intry morning�察 �looking with dull eyes and sallow face
Wupon the neighbourhood of Leicester Square�察 �finds its
inhabitants unwilling to get out of bed。 Many of them
are not early risers at the brightest of times�察�being birds of night
who roost when the sun is high�察�and are wide awake and keen for
prey when the stars shine out。 Behind dingy blind and curtain�察�in
upper story and garret�察�skulking more or less under false names�察�
false hair�察�false titles�察�false jewellery�察�and false histories�察 �a colony
of brigands lie in their first sleep。 Gentlemen of the green baize
road who could discourse�察 �from personal experience�察 �of foreign
galleys�察 �and home treadmills�察 �spies of strong governments that
eternally quake with weakness and miserable fear�察 �broken
traitors�察�cowards�察�bullies�察�gamesters�察�shufflers�察�swindlers�察�and false
witnesses�察 �some not unmarked by the branding´iron�察 �beneath
their dirty braid�察�all with more cruelty in them than was in Nero�察�
and more crime than is in Newgate。 For�察�howsoever bad the devil
can be in fustian or smock´frock ��and he can be very bad in both��
he is a more designing�察 �callous�察 �and intolerable devil when he
sticks a pin in his shirt´front�察 �calls himself a gentleman�察 �backs a
card or colour�察�plays a game or so of billiards�察 �and knows a little
about bills and promissory notes�察�than in any other form he wears。
And in such form Mr Bucket shall find him�察 �when he will�察�
pervading the tributary channels of Leicester Square。
But the wintry morning wants him not and wakes him not。 It

wakes Mr George of the Shooting Gallery�察�and his Familiar。 They
arise�察�roll up and stow away their mattresses。 Mr George�察 �having
shaved himself before a looking´glass of minute proportions�察�then
marches out�察�bare´headed and bare´chested�察 �to the Pump�察 �in the
little yard�察�and anon comes back shining with yellow soap�察�friction�察�
drifting rain�察�and exceedingly cold water。 As he rubs himself upon
a large jack´towel�察�blowing like a military sort of diver just come
up�此 �his crisp hair curling tighter and tighter on his sunburnt
temples�察�the more he rubs it�察�so that it looks as if it never could be
loosened by any less coercive instrument than an iron rake or a
curry´comb!as he rubs�察 �and puffs�察 �and polishes�察 �and blows�察�
turning his head from side to side�察 �the more conveniently to
excoriate his throat�察�and standing with his body well bent forward�察�
to keep the wet from his martial legs!Phil�察�on his knees lighting a
fire�察 �looks round as if it were enough washing for him to see all
that done�察 �and sufficient renovation�察 �for one day�察 �to take in the
superfluous health his master throws off。
When Mr George is dry�察�he goes to work to brush his head with
two hard brushes at once�察 �to that unmerciful degree that Phil�察�
shouldering his way round the gallery in the act of sweeping it�察�
winks with sympathy。 This chafing over�察 �the ornamental part of
Mr George¨s toilette is soon performed。 He fills his pipe�察�lights it�察�
and marches up and down smoking�察�as his custom is�察�while Phil�察�
raising a powerful odour of hot rolls and coffee�察 �prepares
breakfast。 He smokes gravely�察�and marches in slow time。 Perhaps
this morning¨s pipe is devoted to the memory of Gridley in his
grave。
^And so�察 �Phil�察院 �says George of the Shooting Gallery�察 �after
several turns in silence�察 �you were dreaming of the country last

night�拭院�
Phil�察 �by the bye�察 �said as much in a tone of surprise�察 �as he
scrambled out of bed。
^Yes�察�guv¨ner。 ̄
^What was it like�拭院�
^I hardly know what it was like�察 �guv¨ner�察院 �says Phil�察�
considering。
^How did you know it was the country�拭院�
^On accounts of the grass�察�I think。 And the swans upon it�察院�says
Phil�察�after further consideration。
^What were the swans doing on the grass�拭院�
^They was a eating of it�察�I expect�察院�says Phil。
The master resumes his march�察 �and the man resumes his
preparation of breakfast。 It is not necessarily a lengthened
preparation�察 �being limited to the setting forth of very simple
breakfast requisites for two�察�and the broiling of a rasher of bacon
at the fire in the rusty grate�察 �but as Phil has to sidle round a
considerable part of the gallery for every object he wants�察 �and
never brings two objects at once�察 �it takes time under the
circumstances。 At length the breakfast is ready。 Phil announcing
it�察�Mr George knocks the ashes out of his pipe on the hob�察�stands
his pipe itself in the chimney corner�察�and sits down to the meal。
When he has helped himself�察 �Phil follows suit�察 �sitting at the
extreme end of the little oblong table�察�and taking his plate on his
knees。 Either in humility�察 �or to hide his blackened hands�察 �or
because it is his natural manner of eating。
^The country�察院�says Mr George�察�plying his knife and fork�察 �why�察�
I suppose you never clapped your eyes on the country�察�Phil�拭院�
^I see the marshes once�察院 �says Phil�察 �contentedly eating his

breakfast。
^What marshes�拭院�
^The marshes�察�commander�察院�returns Phil。
^Where are they�拭院�
^I don¨t know where they are�察院 �says Phil�察 �but I see ¨em�察�

Governor and Commander are interchangeable terms with
Phil�察�expressive of the same respect and deference�察�and applicable
to nobody but Mr George。
^I was born in the country�察�Phil。 ̄
^Was you indeed�察�commander�拭院�
^Yes。 And bred there。 ̄ Phil elevated his one eyebrow�察�and�察�after
respectfully staring at his master to express interest�察 �swallows a
great gulp of coffee�察�still staring at him。
^There¨s not a bird¨s note that I don¨t know�察院�says Mr George。
^Not many an English leaf or berry that I couldn¨t name。 Not
many a tree that I couldn¨t climb yet�察�if I was put to it。 I was a real
country boy once。 My good mother lived in the country。 ̄
