entertainments。 ^Sooner than which�察�myself�察院�says Mrs Perkins�察 �I
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
��and�察 �by implication�察 �Mrs Perkins¨s�� respectability。 By this time�察�
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
in her hand ever since it was fetched from the same hostelry by
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
Charles Dickens ElecBook Classics

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�
whoever you are�察�with your head tied up in a bundle。 Is this fellow

This fellow approaches as he speaks。 Mr Weevle softly holds up
his finger�察�and dra
