question or two�察�and touching him�察�and examining his eyes。 ^What 

do you say�察�Harold�拭院�

    ^You had better turn him out�察院�said Mr Skimpole。 

    ^What do you mean�拭院�inquired my Guardian�察�almost sternly。 

    ^My dear Jarndyce�察院�said Mr Skimpole�察 �you know what I am�此�I 

am     a  child。   Be    cross    to  me�察   �if  I  deserve    it。  But   I  have    a 

constitutional objection to this sort of thing。 I always had�察�when I 

was   a medical   man。   He¨s not  safe�察  �you  know。   There¨s a   very  bad 

sort of fever about him。 ̄ 

    Mr Skimpole had retreated from the hall to  the   drawing´room 

again�察�and said   this in   his   airy  way�察  �seated   on   the   music´stool as 

we stood by。 

    ^You¨ll   say  it¨s childish�察院 �observed   Mr   Skimpole�察  �looking   gaily 

at   us。   ^Well�察  �I   dare   say   it   may   be�察  �but   I   am   a   child�察  �and   I   never 

pretend   to  be anything   else。   If   you   put   him   out   in   the   road�察  �you 

only put him where he was before。 He will be no worse off than he 

was�察  �you   know。   Even   make   him   better   off�察  �if   you   like。   Give   him 

sixpence�察      �or    five   shillings�察    �or   five    pound      ten!you        are 

arithmeticians�察�and I am not!and get rid of him� 院�

    ^And what is he to do then�拭院�asked my Guardian。 

    ^Upon my life�察院�said Mr Skimpole�察�shrugging his shoulders with 

his engaging smile�察 �I have not the least idea what he is to do then。 

But I have no doubt he¨ll do it。 ̄ 

    ^Now�察    �is  it  not  a  horrible    reflection�察院   �said  my    Guardian�察    �to 

whom   I   had   hastily   explained   the   unavailing   efforts   of   the   two 

women�察 �is it not a horrible reflection�察院�walking up and down and 

rumpling his hair�察 �that if this wretched creature were a convicted

prisoner�察�his hospital would be wide open to him�察�and he would be 

as well taken care of as any sick boy in the kingdom。 ̄ 

    ^My dear Jarndyce�察院�returned Mr Skimpole�察 �you¨ll pardon the 

simplicity of the question�察�coming as it does from a creature who is 

perfectly simple in worldly  matters!but�察  �why  isn¨t  he  a   prisoner 

then�拭院�

    My    Guardian      stopped    and    looked    at  him   with   a  whimsical 

mixture of amusement and indignation in his face。 

    ^Our   young   friend   is   not   to   be  suspected     of   any  delicacy�察  �I 

should   imagine�察院  �said   Mr   Skimpole�察  �unabashed   and   candid。   ^It 

seems to me that it would be wiser�察�as well as in a certain kind of 

way more respectable�察�if he showed some misdirected energy that 

got him into prison。 There would be more of an adventurous spirit 

in it�察�and consequently more of a certain sort of poetry。 ̄ 

    ^I believe�察院�returned my Guardian�察�resuming his  uneasy  walk�察�

^that there is not such another child on earth as yourself。 ̄ 

    ^Do you really�拭院�said Mr Skimpole�察 �I dare say� �But�察�I confess I 

don¨t see why our young friend�察�in his degree�察�should not seek to 

invest himself with such poetry as is open to him。 He is no doubt 

born   with   an   appetite!probably�察  �when   he   is   in   a   safer   state   of 

health�察   �he   has   an  excellent    appetite。    Very   well。   At  our   young 

friend¨s   natural   dinner   hour�察  �most   likely   about   noon�察  �our   young 

friend   says   in   effect   to   society�察   �I   am   hungry�察  �will   you   have   the 

goodness to produce your spoon�察�and feed me�拭� Society�察�which has 

taken upon itself the general arrangement of the whole system of 

spoons�察�and professes to have a spoon for our young friend�察�does 

not produce that spoon�察�and our young friend�察�therefore�察�says `You 

really must excuse me if I seize it。¨ Now�察�this appears to me a case 

of misdirected energy�察�which has a certain amount of reason in it�察�

and   a   certain   amount   of   romance�察  �and   I   don¨t   know   but   what   I 

should be more interested in our young friend�察�as an illustration of 

such a case�察�than merely as a poor vagabond!which any one can 

be。 ̄ 

    ^In the meantime�察院�I ventured to observe�察 �he is getting worse。 ̄ 

    ^In    the  meantime�察院      �said   Mr   Skimpole      cheerfully�察    �as   Miss 

Summerson�察�with her practical good sense�察�observes�察�he is getting 

worse。   Therefore   I   recommend   your   turning   him   out   before   he 

gets still worse。 ̄ 

    The   amiable   face   with   which   he   said   it�察  �I   think   I   shall   never 

forget。 

    ^Of   course�察  �little   woman�察院  �observed   my   Guardian�察  �turning   to 

me�察 �I can ensure   his admission into  the   proper  place by  merely 

going there to enforce it�察�though it¨s a bad state of things when�察�in 

his condition�察�that is necessary。 But it¨s growing late�察�and is a very 

bad night�察�and the boy is worn out already。 There is a bed in the 

wholesome loft´room by the stable�察�we had better keep him there 

till morning�察�when he can be wrapped up and   removed。   We¨ll   do 

that。 ̄ 

    ^O� 院  �said   Mr   Skimpole�察  �with   his   hands   upon   the   keys   of   the 

piano�察   �as   we   moved     away。   ^Are    you   going   back    to  our   young 

friend�拭院�

    ^Yes�察院�said my Guardian。 

    ^How   I    envy   you   your   constitution�察    �Jarndyce� 院     �returned   Mr 

Skimpole�察�with playful admiration。 ^You don¨t mind these things�察�

neither   does   Miss   Summerson。   You   are   ready   at   all   times   to   go 

anywhere�察�and do anything。 Such is Will� �I have no Will at all!and 

no Won¨t!simply Can¨t。 ̄ 

    ^You can¨t recommend anything  for  the   boy�察  �I suppose�拭院�said

my   Guardian�察  �looking   back   over   his   shoulder�察  �half   angrily�察  �only 

half   angrily�察   �for   he  never   seemed      to   consider   Mr   Skimpole        an 

accountable being。 

    ^My dear Jarndyce�察�I   observed   a bottle   of  cooling medicine  in 

his   pocket�察  �and   it¨s   impossible   for   him   to   do   better   than   take   it。 

You can tell them to sprinkle a little vinegar about the place where 

he   sleeps�察  �and   to   keep   it   moderately   cool�察  �and   him   moderately 

warm。       But     it¨s   mere      impertinence        in    me     to   offer    any 

recommendation。 Miss Summerson has such a knowledge of detail 

and     such   a   capacity    for  the   administration        of  detail�察 �that   she 

knows all about it。 ̄ 

    We     went    back    into   the  hall�察  �and   explained      to  Jo   what    we 

proposed to do�察�which Charley explained to him again�察�and which 

he   received   with   the   languid   unconcern   I   had   already   noticed�察�

wearily  looking  on  at  what   was   done�察  �as   if   it   were   for   somebody 

else。 The servants compassionating his miserable state�察�and being 

very anxious to help�察�we soon got the loft´room ready�察�and some of 

the   men   about   the   house   carried   him   across   the   wet   yard�察  �well 

wrapped   up。   It   was   pleasant   to   observe   how   kind   they   were   to 

him�察  �and   how  there  appeared   to  be   a   general   impression   among 

them that frequently calling him ^Old Chap�察院�was likely to revive 

his   spirits。   Charley   directed   the   operations�察  �and   went   to   and   fro 

between   the   loft´room   and   the   house   with   such   little   stimulants 

and   comforts       as  we   thought     it  safe  to  give   him。    My   Guardian 

himself saw him before he was left for the night�察�and reported to 

me�察  �when   he   returned   to   the   Growlery   to   write   a   letter   on   the 

boy¨s behalf�察�which a messenger was charged to deliver at daylight 

in the morning�察�that he seemed easier�察�and inclined to sleep。 They 

had fastened his door on the outside�察�he said�察�in case of his being

without being heard。 

    Ada being in our room with a cold�察�Mr Skimpole was left alone 

all   this   time�察  �and   entertained      himself    by   playing    snatches      of 

pathetic   airs�察  �and   sometimes   singing   to   them   ��as   we   heard   at   a 

distance�� with great expression and feeling。 When we rejoined him 

in the drawing´room he said he would give us a little ballad�察�which 

had   come   into   his   head�察   �apropos   of   our   young   friend�察院  �and   he 

sang one about a Peasant boy�察�
