would   get   my   living   by   selling   lucifers。 ̄     Mrs    Piper�察  �as   in   duty 

bound�察  �is   of   the   same   opinion�察  �holding   that   a   private   station   is 

better   than   public   applause�察  �and   thanking   Heaven   for   her   own

the pot´boy of the Sol¨s Arms appearing with her supper´pint well 

frothed�察�Mrs Piper  accepts   that  tankard   and   retires indoors�察  �first 

giving a fair good night to Mrs Perkins�察�who has had her own pint

young Perkins before he was sent to bed。 Now�察�there is a sound of

putting     up    shop´shutters      in   the   court�察  �and    a  smell    as  of   the 

smoking of pipes�察�and shooting stars are seen in upper  windows�察�

further     indicating     retirement      to  rest。  Now�察    �too�察 �the   policeman 

begins     to  push    at   doors�察  �to  try  fastenings�察    �to  be   suspicious     of 

bundles�察     �and    to   administer      his  beat�察   �on   the   hypothesis      that 

everyone is either robbing or being robbed。 

    It is a close night�察�though the damp cold is searching  too�察  �and 

there     is  a  laggard    mist   a  little  way   up   in   the  air。  It  is  a  fine 

steaming       night   to   turn   the   slaughterhouses�察       �the   unwholesome 

trades�察  �the   sewerage�察  �bad   water�察  �and   burial   grounds   to   account�察�

and  give   the   Registrar  of  Deaths   some   extra   business。   It   may   be 

something in the air!there is plenty in it!or it may be something 

in   himself�察  �that   is   in   fault�察  �but   Mr   Weevle�察  �otherwise   Jobling�察  �is 

very ill at ease。 He comes and goes�察�between his own room and the 

open street door�察�twenty times an hour。 He has been doing so�察�ever 

since it fell dark。 Since the Chancellor shut up his shop�察�which he 

did   very   early   tonight�察  �Mr   Weevle   has   been   down   and   up�察  �and 

down   and   up   ��with   a   cheap   tight   velvet   skull´cap   on   his   head�察�

making       his  whiskers      look   out   of  all  proportion���察     �oftener    than 

before。 

    It is no phenomenon that Mr Snagsby should be ill at ease too�察�

for he always is so�察�more or less�察�under the oppressive influence of 

the secret that is upon him。 Impelled by the mystery�察�of which he 

is   a   partaker�察  �and   yet   in   which   he   is   not   a   sharer�察  �Mr   Snagsby 

haunts   what   seems   to   be   its   fountain´head!the   rag   and   bottle 

shop   in   the   court。   It   has   an   irresistible   attraction   for   him。   Even 

now�察�coming round by the Sol¨s Arms with the intention of passing 

down      the   court�察   �and   out   at   the   Chancery      Lane     end�察  �and    so 

terminating his unpremeditated after´supper stroll of ten minutes

long from his own door and back again�察�Mr Snagsby approaches。 

    ^What�察�Mr Weevle�拭院�says the stationer�察�stopping to speak。 ^Are 

you there�拭院�

    ^Ay� 院�says Weevle。 ^Here I am�察�Mr Snagsby。 ̄ 

    ^Airing   yourself�察  �as   I   am   doing�察  �before   you   go   to   bed�拭院 �the 

stationer inquires。 

    ^Why�察�there¨s not much air to be got here�察�and what there is�察�is 

not very freshening�察院�Weevle answers�察�glancing up and down the 

court。 

    ^Very true�察�sir。 Don¨t  you  observe�察院  �says   Mr Snagsby�察�pausing 

to  sniff   and   taste   the   air  a   little�察   �don¨t   you   observe�察  �Mr   Weevle�察�

that you¨re!not to put too fine a point upon it!that you¨re rather 

greasy here�察�sir�拭院�

    ^Why�察�I have noticed myself that there is a queer kind of flavour 

in the place tonight�察院�Mr Weevle   rejoins。   ^I  suppose   it¨s chops at 

the Sol¨s Arms。 ̄ 

    ^Chops�察�do you think�拭�Oh� �Chops�察�eh�拭院�Mr Snagsby sniffs and 

tastes again。 ^Well�察�sir�察�I suppose it is。 But I should say their cook 

at the Sol wanted a little looking after。 She has been burning ¨em�察�

sir�   �And   I   don¨t   think�察院  �Mr   Snagsby   sniffs   and   tastes   again�察  �and 

then spits and wipes his mouth�察 �I don¨t think!not to put too fine 

a point upon it!that they were quite fresh�察�when they were shown 

the gridiron。 ̄ 

    ^That¨s very likely。 It¨s a tainting sort of weather。 ̄ 

    ^It is a tainting sort of weather�察院�says Mr Snagsby�察 �and I find it 

sinking to the spirits。 ̄ 

    ^By George� �I find it gives me the horrors�察院�returns Mr Weevle。 

    ^Then�察�you see�察�you live in a lonesome way�察�and in a lonesome 

room�察    �with    a  black    circumstance      hanging      over   it�察院 �says   Mr

Snagsby�察      �looking    in  past   the   other¨s    shoulder     along    the   dark 

passage�察  �and  then   falling back a   step   to   look   up   at   the   house。   ^I 

couldn¨t   live   in   that   room   alone�察  �as   you   do�察  �sir。   I   should   get   so 

fidgetty   and   worried   of   an   evening�察  �sometimes�察  �that   I   should   be 

driven to come to the door�察�and stand here�察�sooner than sit there。 

But  then   it¨s   very   true   that   you   didn¨t   see�察  �in   your   room�察  �what I 

saw there。 That makes a difference。 ̄ 

    ^I know quite enough about it�察院�returns Tony。 

    ^It¨s   not   agreeable�察  �is   it�拭院  �pursues   Mr   Snagsby�察  �coughing   his 

cough   of   mild   persuasion   behind   his   hand。   ^Mr   Krook   ought   to 

consider it in the rent。 I hope he does�察�I am sure。 ̄ 

    ^I hope he does�察院�says Tony。 ^But I doubt it� 院�

    ^You   find     the  rent   high�察  �do   you�察  �sir�察院 �returns    the   stationer。 

^Rents are high about here。 I don¨t know how it is exactly�察�but the 

law seems to put things up in price。 Not�察院�adds Mr Snagsby�察�with 

his   apologetic     cough�察     �that   I  mean    to  say   a  word     against    the 

profession I get my living by。 ̄ 

    Mr Weevle again glances up and down the court�察�and then looks 

at   the   stationer。    Mr    Snagsby�察    �blankly     catching     his  eye�察  �looks 

upward   for   a   star   or   so�察  �and   coughs   a   cough   expressive   of   not 

exactly seeing his way out of this conversation。 

    ^It¨s a curious fact�察�sir�察院�he observes�察�slowly rubbing his hands�察�

^that he should have been! ̄ 

    ^Who¨s he�拭院�interrupts Mr Weevle。 

    ^The     deceased�察    �you   know�察院    �says   Mr    Snagsby�察    �twitching     his 

head   and   right   eyebrow   towards   the   staircase�察  �and   tapping   his 

acquaintance on the button。 

    ^Ah to be sure� 院�returns the other�察�as if he were not overfond of 

the subject。 ^I thought we had done with him。 ̄

    ^I was only going to say�察�it¨s a curious fact�察�sir�察  �that  he  should 

have come and lived here�察�and been one of my writers�察  �and  then 

that you should come and live here�察�and be one of my writers�察�too。 

Which      there    is   nothing     derogatory�察     �but   far   from    it  in   the 

appellation�察院�says Mr Snagsby�察�breaking off with a mistrust that he 

may     have    unpolitely     asserted    a  kind    of  proprietorship       in  Mr 

Weevle�察      �because     I  have    known      writers    that   have    gone    into 

Brewers¨       houses     and     done    really    very    respectable      indeed。 

Eminently   respectable�察  �sir�察院  �adds   Mr   Snagsby�察  �with   a   misgiving 

that he had not improved the matter。 

    ^It¨s a curious coincidence�察�as you say�察院�answers   Weevle�察  �once 

more glancing up and down the court。 

    ^Seems a Fate in it�察�don¨t there�拭院�suggests the stationer。 

    ^There does。 ̄ 

    ^Just so�察院�observes the stationer�察�with his   confirmatory  cough。 

^Quite   a Fate   in it。   Quite   a   Fate。   Well�察  �Mr   Weevle�察  �I   am   afraid   I 

must  bid   you  good   night�察院  �Mr   Snagsby   speaks   as   if   it  made   him 

desolate to go�察�though he has been casting about for any means of 

escape   ever  since   he   stopped   to   speak�察   �my   little   woman   will   be 

looking for me�察�else。 Good night�察�sir� 院�

    If  Mr    Snagsby      hastens    home     to  save   his   little  woman      the 

trouble  of  looking  for  him�察  �he might  set   his   mind   at   rest   on   that 

score。 His little woman has had her eye upon him round the Sol¨s 

Arms      all  this  time�察  �and    now    glides    after  him    with    a  pocket 

handkerchief  wrapped   over  her  head�察  �honouring  Mr  Weevle   and 

his doorway with a very searching glance as she goes past。 

    ^You¨ll know me again�察�ma¨am�察�at all events�察院�says Mr Weevle to 

himself�察     �and     I  can¨t   compliment        you    on   your    appearance�察�
