    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。 ̄

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

Wupon   the  neighbourhood   of  Leicester  Square�察  �finds  its 

              inhabitants   unwilling   to   get   out   of   bed。   Many   of   them

prey when the stars shine out。 Behind dingy blind and curtain�察�in

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

galleys�察  �and   home   treadmills�察  �spies      of  strong   governments        that

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。

    ^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。

    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。

respectfully   staring  at   his   master   to   express   interest�察  �swallows   a 

great gulp of coffee�察�still staring at him。

many a tree that I couldn¨t climb yet�察�if I was put to it。 I was a real
