by   Quebec   and   Malta   to   do   justice   to   the   pork   and   greens�察  �over 

which Mrs Bagnet�察�like a military chaplain�察�says a short grace。 In 

the distribution of these comestibles�察�as in every other household

proceeds   to   satisfy   her   own   hunger�察  �which   is   in   a   healthy   state。 

The kit of the mess�察�if the table furniture may be so denominated�察�

is chiefly composed of utensils of horn and tin�察�that have done duty 

in    several    parts    of   the   world。     Young      Woolwich¨s       knife�察  �in

appetite   of  that  young  musician�察  �is   mentioned   as   having   gone   in 

various hands the complete round of foreign service。 

    The dinner done�察�Mrs Bagnet�察�assisted by the younger branches 

��who polish their own cups and platters�察�knives and forks���察�makes 

all the dinner garniture shine as brightly as before�察�and puts it all 

away�察�first sweeping the hearth to the end that Mr Bagnet and the 

visitor  may  not be   retarded in   the   smoking  of   their   pipes。   These 

household cares involve much pattening and counter´pattening in 

the   back   yard�察�and   considerable   use  of  a   pail�察  �which   is   finally   so 

happy as to assist in the ablutions of Mrs Bagnet herself。 That old 

girl   reappearing   by´and´by�察  �quite   fresh�察  �and   sitting   down   to   her 

needlework�察�then and only then!the greens being only then to be 

considered       as  entirely    off  her   mind!Mr       Bagnet     requests     the 

trooper to state his case。 

    This    Mr    George     does    with   great    discretion�察   �appearing      to 

address himself to Mr Bagnet�察�but having an eye solely on the old 

girl   all  the  time�察  �as  Bagnet     has   himself。   She�察  �equally    discreet�察�

busies     herself   with   her   needlework。      The    case   fully  stated�察  �Mr 

Bagnet      resorts   to  his  standard     artifice   for  the  maintenance       of

Tell him what it is。 ̄ 

    It is�察�that he cannot have too little to do with people who are too 

deep     for  him�察  �and    cannot    be   too  careful    of  interference     with

nothing   in   the   dark�察  �to   be   a   party   to   nothing   under´handed   or 

mysterious�察  �and   never   to   put   his   foot   where   he   cannot   see   the 

ground。      This�察   �in  effect�察  �is  Mr    Bagnet¨s     opinion�察    �as   delivered 

through      the   old   girl�察 �and   it  so  relieves    Mr   George¨s     mind�察    �by 

confirming   his      own     opinion    and    banishing     his   doubts�察   �that   he 

composes        himself    to   smoke     another     pipe   on    that   exceptional 

occasion�察�and to have a talk over old times with the whole Bagnet 

family�察�according to their various ranges of experience。 

    Through these means it comes to pass that Mr George does not 

again     rise   to  his  full  height    in   that   parlour    until   the   time    is 

drawing  on   when   the   bassoon   and   fife   are   expected   by   a   British 

public at the theatre�察�and as it takes time even then for Mr George�察�

in   his   domestic   character   of   Bluffy�察  �to   take   leave   to   Quebec   and 

Malta�察  �and   insinuate   a   sponsorial   shilling   into   the   pocket   of   his 

godson�察�with felicitations on his success in life�察�it is dark when Mr 

George again turns his face towards Lincoln¨s Inn Fields。 

    ^A family home�察院�he ruminates�察�as he marches along�察 �however 

small it is�察�makes a man like me look lonely。 But it¨s well I never 

made that evolution of matrimony。 I shouldn¨t have been fit for it。 

I¨m   such a   vagabond   still�察  �even   at  my   present   time   of   life�察  �that   I 

couldn¨t  hold   to  the   gallery  a month   together�察  �if   it   was   a   regular 

pursuit�察�or if I didn¨t camp there�察�gypsy fashion。 Come� �I disgrace 

nobody   and   cumber   nobody�此  �that¨s   something。   I   have   not   done 

that�察�for many a long year� 院�

    So he whistles it off�察�and marches on。 

    Arrived       in    Lincoln¨s       Inn     Fields�察    �and      mounting        Mr 

Tulkinghorn¨s         stair�察 �he   finds    the   outer    door    closed�察   �and    the

doors�察�and the staircase being dark besides�察�he is yet fumbling and

groping about�察�hoping to discover a bell handle or to open the door 

for himself�察�when Mr Tulkinghorn comes up the stairs ��quietly�察�of 

course���察�and angrily asks�此�

    ^Who is that�拭�What are you doing there�拭院�

    ^And     couldn¨t    George�察   �the   serjeant�察   �see  that   my    door   was 

locked�拭院�

    ^Why�察�no�察�sir�察�I couldn¨t。 At any rate�察�I didn¨t�察院�says the trooper�察�

rather nettled。 

    ^Have you changed your mind�拭�or are you in the same mind�拭院�

Mr Tulkinghorn demands。 But he knows well enough at a glance。 

    ^In the same mind�察�sir。 ̄ 

    ^I   thought   so。   That¨s   sufficient。   You   can   go。   So�察  �you   are   the 

man�察院  �says   Mr   Tulkinghorn�察  �opening   his   door   with   the   key�察   �in 

whose hiding´place Mr Gridley was found�拭院�

    ^Yes�察  �I  am   the   man�察院  �says   the   trooper�察  �stopping   two   or   three 

stairs down。 ^What then�察�sir�拭院�

    ^What then�拭�I don¨t like your  associates。   You  should  not  have 

seen the inside of my door this morning�察�if I had thought of your 

being   that   man。   Gridley�拭  �A   threatening�察  �murderous�察  �dangerous 

fellow。 ̄ 

   With these words�察�spoken in an unusually high tone for him�察�the 

lawyer goes into his rooms�察�and shuts the door with a thundering 

noise。 

    Mr   George   takes   this   dismissal   in   great   dudgeon�察  �the   greater�察�

because a clerk coming up the stairs   has   heard  the   last  words   of 

all�察 �and    evidently    applies   them    to  him。   ^A   pretty   character     to 

bear�察院�the trooper growls with a hasty oath�察�as he strides upstairs。

a lamp。 This so intensifies his dudgeon�察�that for five minutes he is 

in an ill´humour。   But  he   whistles   that  off�察  �like   the   rest   of   it�察  �and 

marches home to the Shooting Gallery。
