often enough�此�and when she is told it�察�she only gives me a placid 

look�察�as if I was I don¨t know what!a steeple in the distance�察院�said 

Caddy�察  �with  a   sudden   idea�察   �and   then   she   shakes   her   head�察  �and 

says `O Caddy�察�Caddy�察�what a teaze you are� � and goes on with the 

Borrioboola letters。 ̄ 

    ^And about your wardrobe�察�Caddy�拭院�said I。 For she was under 

no restraint with us。 

    ^Well�察�my dear Esther�察院�she returned�察�drying her eyes�察 �I must 

do  the   best  I   can�察  �and   trust   to   my   dear   Prince   never   to   have   an 

unkind      remembrance        of  my   coming   so   shabbily   to   him。   If  the 

question concerned an outfit for Borrioboola�察�Ma would know all 

about it�察�and would be quite excited。 Being what it is�察�she neither 

knows nor cares。 ̄ 

    Caddy     was    not   at  all  deficient   in  natural    affection   for   her 

mother�察    �but   mentioned      this  with   tears�察  �as  an   undeniable     fact�此�

which I am afraid it was。 We were so sorry for the poor dear girl�察�

and  found so  much  to admire   in   the   good   disposition   which   had 

survived under such discouragement�察�that we both at once ��I mean 

Ada and I�� proposed a little scheme�察�that made her perfectly joyful。 

This was�察�her staying with us for three weeks�察�my staying with her 

for    one�察  �and    our   all  three    contriving     and   cutting    out�察  �and 

repairing�察  �and   sewing�察  �and   saving�察  �and   doing   the   very   best   we 

could think of�察�to make the most of her stock。 My Guardian being 

as pleased with the idea as Caddy was�察�we took her home next day 

to arrange the matter�察�and brought her out again in triumph�察�with 

her boxes�察�and all the purchases   that  could be   squeezed   out  of  a 

ten´pound       note�察  �which    Mr   Jellyby    had   found    in   the  Docks     I 

suppose�察�but which he at all events gave her。 What my Guardian 

would not have given her�察�if we had encouraged him�察�it would be

difficult to say�察�but we thought it right to compound for no  more 

than      her    wedding´dress        and     bonnet。     He    agreed      to   this 

compromise�察  �and   if   Caddy   had   ever   been   happy   in   her   life�察  �she 

was happy when we sat down to work。 

    She was clumsy enough with her needle�察�poor girl�察�and pricked 

her fingers as much as she had been used to ink them。 She could 

not  help   reddening a   little�察  �now  and  then�察  �partly  with   the   smart�察�

and partly with vexation at being able to do no better�此�but she soon 

got over that�察�and began to improve rapidly。 So�察�day after day�察�she�察�

and my darling�察�and my little maid Charley�察�and a milliner out of 

the town�察�and I�察�sat hard at work�察�as pleasantly as possible。 

    Over     and    above    this�察  �Caddy     was    very   anxious     ^to   learn 

housekeeping�察院�as she said。 Now�察�Mercy upon us� �the idea of her 

learning housekeeping of a person of my vast experience was such 

a   joke�察  �that   I   laughed�察  �and   coloured   up�察  �and   fell   into   a   comical 

confusion   when   she   proposed   it。   However�察  �I   said�察   �Caddy�察  �I   am 

sure you are very welcome to learn anything that you can learn of 

me�察�my dear�察院�and I showed her all my books and methods�察�and all 

my fidgety ways。 You would have supposed that I was showing her 

some wonderful inventions   by  her  study  of  them�察  �and  if  you  had 

seen   her�察  �whenever   I   jingled   my   housekeeping   keys�察  �get   up   and 

attend me�察�certainly you might have thought that there never was 

a   greater   impostor   than      I�察 �with   a   blinder  follower   than    Caddy 

Jellyby。 

    So�察   �what    with   working      and    housekeeping�察      �and   lessons     to 

Charley�察�and backgammon in the evening with my Guardian�察�and 

duets   with   Ada�察  �the   three   weeks   slipped   fast   away。   Then   I   went 

home with Caddy�察�to see what could be done there�察�and Ada and 

Charley remained behind�察�to take care of my Guardian。

    When I say I went  home  with  Caddy�察  �I   mean   to  the   furnished 

lodging   in   Hatton     Garden。   We      went   to   Newman       Street   two   or 

three    times�察   �where    preparations      were    in  progress     too�察  �a  good 

many�察     �I   observed�察    �for   enchancing       the    comforts     of   old   Mr 

Turveydrop�察�and a few for putting the newly married couple away 

cheaply at the top of the house�察�but our great point was   to  make 

the   furnished   lodging   decent   for   the   wedding   breakfast�察  �and   to 

imbue      Mrs    Jellyby    beforehand       with   some     faint   sense    of  the 

occasion。 

    The latter was the more difficult thing of the two�察�because Mrs 

Jellyby and an unwholesome boy occupied the front  sitting´room 

��the   back   one   was   a   mere   closet���察  �and   it   was   littered   down   with 

waste     paper    and   Borrioboolan       documents�察     �as   an  untidy    stable 

might     be    littered   with   straw。    Mrs    Jellyby    sat   there    all  day�察�

drinking       strong    coffee�察   �dictating     and    holding      Borrioboolan 

interviews by appointment。 The unwholesome boy�察�who seemed to 

me   to   be   going   into   a   decline�察  �took   his   meals   out   of   the   house。 

When Mr Jellyby came home�察�he usually groaned and went down 

into   the   kitchen。   There   he   got   something   to   eat�察  �if   the   servant 

would give him anything�察�and then feeling that he was in the way�察�

went  out  and   walked about  Hatton Garden   in   the   wet。   The   poor 

children scrambled up and tumbled down the house�察�as they had 

always been accustomed to do。 

    The     production      of   these    devoted     little   sacrifices�察  �in   any 

presentable condition�察�being quite out of the question at a week¨s 

notice�察�I proposed to Caddy that we should make them as happy as 

we   could�察  �on   her   marriage   morning�察  �in   the   attic   where   they   all 

slept�察�and should confine our greatest efforts to her mama and her 

mama¨s       room�察    �and   a   clean    breakfast。    In   truth�察   �Mrs    Jellyby

required   a   good   deal   of   attention�察  �the   lattice´work   up   her   back 

having widened considerably since I first knew her�察�and her hair 

looking like the mane of a dustman¨s horse。 

    Thinking   that   the   display   of   Caddy¨s   wardrobe   would   be   the 

best   means   of   approaching   the   subject�察  �I   invited   Mrs   Jellyby   to 

come   and   look   at   it   spread   out   on   Caddy¨s   bed�察  �in   the   evening�察�

after the unwholesome boy was gone。 

    ^My   dear   Miss   Summerson�察院  �said   she�察  �rising   from   her   desk�察�

with   her   usual   sweetness   of   temper�察   �these   are   really   ridiculous 

preparations�察      �though     your    assisting     them    is  a   proof    of  your 

kindness。 There is something so inexpressibly absurd to me�察�in the 

idea of Caddy being married� �O Caddy�察�you silly�察�silly�察�silly puss� 院�

    She came upstairs with  us notwithstanding�察�and   looked at  the 

clothes     in  her   customary       far´off  manner。      They    suggested      one 

distinct idea to her�察�for she said�察�with her placid smile�察�and shaking 

her head�察 �My good Miss Summerson�察�at half  the  cost�察  �this   weak 

child might have been equipped for Africa� 院�

    On our going downstairs again�察�Mrs Jellyby asked me whether 

this     troublesome        business     was     really    to   take     place    next 

Wednesday�拭�And on my replying yes�察�she said�察 �Will my room be 

required�察�my dear Miss Summerson�拭�For it¨s quite impossible that 

I can put my papers away。 ̄ 

    I   took   the   liberty   of   saying   that   the   room   would   certainly   be 

wanted�察     �and    that    I  thought     we    must    put    the   papers     away 

somewhere。   ^Well�察�my  dear  Miss Summerson�察院 �said   Mrs   Jellyby�察�

^you know best�察�I dare say。 But  by  obliging  me  to  employ  a   boy�察�

Caddy has   embarrassed   me   to  that  extent�察  �overwhelmed  as I   am 

with   public   business�察  �that   I   don¨t   know   which   way   to   turn。   We 

have   a   Ramification   meeting�察  �too�察  �on   Wednesday   afternoon�察  �and

the inconvenience is very serious。 ̄ 

    ^It is not likely to occur again�察院�said I�察�smiling。 ^Caddy will be 

married but once�察�probably。 ̄ 

    ^That¨s     true�察院  �Mrs   Jellyby    replied�察   �that¨s    true�察 �my    dear。   I 

suppose we must make the best of it� 院�

    The next question was�察�how Mrs Jellyby should be dressed on 

the    occasion。    I  thought    it  very   curious    to  see   her   looking    on 

serenely   from   her   writing´table�察  �while   Caddy   and   I   discussed   it�察�

occasionally shaking her head at us with a half´reproachful smile�察�

like a superior spirit who could just bear with our trifling。
