like a superior spirit who could just bear with our trifling。
The state in which her dresses were�察 �and the extraordinary
confusion in which she kept them�察 �added not a little to our
difficulty�察�but at length we devised something not very unlike what
a common´place mother might wear on such an occasion。 The
abstracted manner in which Mrs Jellyby would deliver herself up
to having this attire tried on by the dressmaker�察�and the sweetness
with which she would then observe to me how sorry she was that I
had not turned my thoughts to Africa�察 �were consistent with the
rest of her behaviour。
The lodging was rather confined as to space�察�but I fancied that
if Mrs Jellyby¨s household had been the only lodgers in Saint
Paul¨s or Saint Peter¨s�察�the sole advantage they would have found
in the size of the building would have been its affording a great
deal of room to be dirty in。 I believe that nothing belonging to the
family�察�which it had been possible to break�察�was unbroken at the
time of those preparations for Caddy¨s marriage�察 �that nothing
which it had been possible to spoil in any way�察�was unspoilt�察�and
that no domestic object which was capable of collecting dirt�察�form
a dear child¨s knee to the door´plate�察�was without as much dirt as

could well accumulate upon it。
Poor Mr Jellyby�察�who very seldom spoke�察�and almost always sat
when he was at home with his head against the wall�察 �became
interested when he saw that Caddy and I were attempting to
establish some order among all this waste and ruin�察 �and took off
his coat to help。 But such wonderful things came tumbling out of
the closets when they were opened!bits of mouldy pie�察 �sour
bottles�察�Mrs Jellyby¨s caps�察�letters�察�tea�察�forks�察�odd boots and shoes
of children�察 �firewood�察 �wafers�察 �saucepan´lids�察 �damp sugar in odds
and ends of paper bags�察�footstools�察�black´lead brushes�察�bread�察�Mrs
Jellyby¨s bonnets�察 �books with butter sticking to the binding�察�
guttered candle´ends put out by being turned upside down in
broken candlesticks�察�nutshells�察�heads and tails of shrimps�察�dinner´
mats�察 �gloves�察 �coffee´grounds�察 �umbrellas!that he looked
frightened�察 �and left off again。 But he came in regularly every
evening�察�and sat without his coat�察�with his head against the wall�察�
as though he would have helped us�察�if he had known how。
^Poor Pa� 院�said Caddy to me�察�on the night before the great day�察�
when we really had got things a little to rights。 ^It seems unkind to
leave him�察 �Esther�察 �but what could I do if I stayed� �Since I first
knew you�察 �I have tidied and tidied over and over again�察 �but it¨s
useless。 Ma and Africa�察 �together�察 �upset the whole house directly。
We never have a servant who don¨t drink。 Ma¨s ruinous to
everything。 ̄
Mr Jellyby could not hear what she said�察 �but he seemed very
low indeed�察�and shed tears�察�I thought。
^My heart aches for him�察�that it does� 院�sobbed Caddy。 ^I can¨t
help thinking�察�tonight�察�Esther�察�how dearly I hope to be happy with
Prince�察�and how dearly Pa hoped�察�I dare say�察�to be happy with Ma。

What a disappointed life� 院�
^My dear Caddy� 院 �said Mr Jellyby�察 �looking slowly round from
the wall。 It was the first time�察�I think�察�I ever heard him say three
words together。
^Yes�察 �Pa�察院 �cried Caddy�察 �going to him and embracing him
affectionately。
^My dear Caddy�察院�said Mr Jellyby。 ^Never have! ̄
^Not Prince�察�Pa�拭院�faltered Caddy。 ^Not have Prince�拭院�
^Yes�察 �my dear�察院 �said Mr Jellyby。 ^Have him�察 �certainly。 But�察�
never have! ̄
I mentioned�察�in my account of our first visit in Thavies Inn�察�that
Richard described Mr Jellyby as frequently opening his mouth
after dinner without saying anything。 It was a habit of his。 He
opened his mouth now�察�a great many times�察�and shook his head in
a melancholy manner。
^What do you wish me not to have�拭�Don¨t have what�察�dear Pa�拭院�
asked Caddy�察�coaxing him�察�with her arms round his neck。
^Never have a mission�察�my dear child。 ̄
Mr Jellyby groaned�察 �and laid his head against the wall again�察�
and this was the only time I ever heard him make any approach to
expressing his sentiments on the Borrioboolan question。 I suppose
he had been more talkative and lively�察 �once�察 �but he seemed to
have been completely exhausted long before I knew him。
I thought Mrs Jellyby never would have left off serenely looking
over her papers�察 �and drinking coffee�察 �that night。 It was twelve
o¨clock before we could obtain possession of the room�察 �and the
clearance it required then�察�was so discouraging�察�that Caddy�察 �who
was almost tired out�察�sat down in the middle of the dust and cried。
But she soon cheered up�察 �and we did wonders with it before we

went to bed。
In the morning it looked�察 �by the aid of a few flowers and a
quantity of soap and water�察 �and a little arrangement�察 �quite gay。
The plain breakfast made a cheerful show�察 �and Caddy was
perfectly charming。 But when my darling came�察�I thought!and I
think now!that I never had seen such a dear face as my beautiful
pet¨s。
We made a little feast for the children upstairs�察 �and we put
Peepy at the head of the table�察�and we showed them Caddy in her
bridal dress�察 �and they clapped their hands and hurrahed�察 �and
Caddy cried to think that she was going away from them�察 �and
hugged them over and over again�察�until we brought Prince up to
fetch her away!when�察 �I am sorry to say�察 �Peepy bit him。 Then�察�
there was old Mr Turveydrop downstairs�察�in a state of Deportment
not to be expressed�察 �benignly blessing Caddy�察 �and giving my
Guardian to understand�察 �that his son¨s happiness was his own
parental work�察 �and that he sacrificed personal considerations to
insure it。 ^My dear sir�察院�said Mr Turveydrop�察 �these young people
will live with me�察 �my house is large enough for their
accommodation�察�and they shall not want the shelter of my roof。 I
could have wished�察�you will understand the allusion�察�Mr Jarndyce�察�
for you remember my illustrious patron the Prince Regent!I
could have wished that my son had married into a family where
there was more Deportment�察�but the will of Heaven be done� 院�
Mr and Mrs Pardiggle were of the party!Mr Pardiggle�察 �an
obstinate´looking man with a large waistcoat and stubbly hair�察�
who was always talking in a loud bass voice about his mite�察�or Mrs
Pardiggle¨s mite�察�or their five boys¨ mites。 Mr Quale�察�with his hair
brushed back as usual�察 �and his knobs of temples shining very

much�察�was also there�察�not in the character of a disappointed lover�察�
but as the Accepted of a young!at least�察 �an unmarried!lady�察 �a
Miss Wisk�察�who was also there。 Miss Wisk¨s mission�察�my Guardian
said�察 �was to show the world that woman¨s mission was man¨s
mission�察 �and that the only genuine mission�察 �of both man and
woman�察 �was to be always moving declaratory resolutions about
things in general at public meetings。 The guests were few�察 �but
were�察 �as one might expect at Mrs Jellyby¨s�察 �all devoted to public
objects only。 Besides those I have mentioned�察 �there was an
extremely dirty lady�察 �with her bonnet all awry�察 �and the ticketed
price of her dress still sticking on it�察�whose neglected home�察�Caddy
told me�察�was like a filthy wilderness�察�but whose church was like a
fancy fair。 A very contentious gentleman�察 �who said it was his
mission to be everybody¨s brother�察 �but who appeared to be on
terms of coolness with the whole of his large family�察�completed the
party。
A party having less in common with such an occasion�察 �could
hardly have been got together by any ingenuity。 Such a mean
mission as the domestic mission�察 �was the very last thing to be
endured among them�察�indeed�察�Miss Wisk informed us�察�with great
indignation�察 �before we sat down to br
