This fellow approaches as he speaks。 Mr Weevle softly holds up
his finger�察�and draws him into the passage�察 �and closes the street
door。 Then�察 �they go upstairs�察 �Mr Weevle heavily�察 �and Mr Guppy
��for it is he�� very lightly indeed。 When they are shut into the back
room�察�they speak low。
^I thought you had gone to Jericho at least�察�instead of coming
here�察院�says Tony。
^Why�察�I said about ten。 ̄
^You said about ten�察院�Tony repeats。 ^Yes�察�so you did say about
ten。 But�察�according to my count�察�it¨s ten times ten!it¨s a hundred
o¨clock。 I never had such a night in my life� 院�
^What has been the matter�拭院�
^That¨s it� 院�says Tony。 ^Nothing has been the matter。 But�察�here
have I been stewing and fuming in this jolly old crib�察�till I have had
the horrors falling on me as thick as hail。 There¨s a blessed looking
candle� 院 �says Tony�察 �pointing to the heavily burning taper on his
table with a great cabbage head and a long winding´sheet。
^That¨s easily improved�察院 �Mr Guppy observes�察�as he takes the
snuffers in hand。
^Is it�拭院�returned his friend。 ^Not so easily as you think。 It has
been smouldering like that�察�ever since it was lighted。 ̄
^Why�察�what¨s the matter with you�察�Tony�拭院�inquires Mr Guppy�察�
looking at him�察�snuffers in hand�察�as he sits down with his elbow on
the table。
^William Guppy�察院�replies the other�察 �I am in the Downs。 It¨s this
unbearably dull�察 �suicidal room!and old Boguey downstairs�察 �I
suppose。 ̄ Mr Weevle moodily pushes the snuffers´tray from him
with his elbow�察 �leans his head on his hand�察 �puts his feet on the

fender�察 �and looks at the fire。 Mr Guppy�察 �observing him�察 �slightly
tosses his head�察�and sits down on the other side of the table in an
easy attitude。
^Wasn¨t that Snagsby talking to you�察�Tony�拭院�
^Yes�察 �and he!yes�察 �it was Snagsby�察院 �says Mr Weevle�察 �altering
the construction of the sentence。
^On business�拭院�
^No。 No business。 He was only sauntering by and stopped to
prose。 ̄
^I thought it was Snagsby�察院�says Mr Guppy�察 �and thought it as
well that he shouldn¨t see me�察�so I waited till he was gone。 ̄
^There we go again�察�William G。� 院�cries Tony�察�looking up for an
instant。 ^So mysterious and secret� �By George�察�if we were going to
commit a murder�察�we couldn¨t have more mystery about it� 院�
Mr Guppy affects to smile�察 �and with the view of changing the
conversation�察�looks with an admiration�察 �real or pretended�察 �round
the room at the Galaxy gallery of British beauty�察 �terminating his
survey with the portrait of Lady Dedlock over the mantel´shelf�察�in
which she is represented on a terrace�察 �with a pedestal upon the
terrace�察 �and a vase upon the pedestal�察 �and her shawl upon the
vase�察 �and a prodigious piece of fur upon the shawl and her arm
upon the piece of fur�察�and a bracelet on her arm。
^That¨s very like Lady Dedlock�察院 �says Mr Guppy。 ^It¨s a
speaking likeness。 ̄
^I wish it was�察院�growls Tony�察�without changing his position。 ^I
should have some fashionable conversation here�察�then。 ̄
Finding�察�by this time�察�that his friend is not to be wheedled into a
more sociable humour�察 �Mr Guppy puts about upon the ill´used
tack�察�and remonstrates with him。

^Tony�察院�says he�察 �I can make allowances for lowness of spirits�察�
for no man knows what it is when it does come upon a man�察�better
than I do�察�and no man perhaps has a better right to know it�察�than a
man who has an unrequited image printed on his art。 But there
are bounds to these things when an unoffending party is in
question�察�and I will acknowledge to you�察 �Tony�察 �that I don¨t think
your manner on the present occasion is hospitable or quite
gentlemanly。 ̄
^This is strong language�察�William Guppy�察院�returns Mr Weevle。
^Sir�察�it may be�察院�retorts Mr William Guppy�察 �but I feel strongly
when I use it。 ̄
Mr Weevle admits that he has been wrong�察�and begs Mr William
Guppy to think no more about it。 Mr William Guppy�察 �however�察�
having got the advantage�察 �cannot quite release it without a little
more injured remonstrance。
^No� �Dash it�察�Tony�察院�says that gentleman�察 �you really ought to
be careful how you wound the feelings of a man�察 �who has an
unrequited image imprinted on his art�察�and who is not altogether
happy in those chords which vibrate to the tenderest emotions。
You�察�Tony�察�possess in yourself all that is calculated to charm the
eye�察�and allure the taste。 It is not!happily for you�察�perhaps�察�and I
may wish that I could say the same!it is not your character to
hover around one flower。 The ¨ole garden is open to you�察�and your
airy pinions carry you through it。 Still�察�Tony�察�far be it from me�察�I
am sure�察�to wound even your feelings without a cause� 院�
Tony again entreats that the subject may be no longer pursued�察�
saying emphatically�察 �William Guppy�察 �drop it� 院 �Mr Guppy
acquiesces�察�with the reply�察 �I never should have taken it up�察�Tony�察�
of my own accord。 ̄

^And now�察院 �says Tony�察 �stirring the fire�察 �touching this same
bundle of letters。 Isn¨t it an extraordinary thing of Krook to have
appointed twelve o¨clock tonight to hand ¨em over to me�拭院�
^Very。 What did he do it for�拭院�
^What does he do anything for�拭�He don¨t know。 Said�察�today was
his birthday�察 �and he¨d hand ¨em over tonight at twelve o¨clock。
He¨ll have drunk himself blind by that time。 He has been at it all
day。 ̄
^He hasn¨t forgotten the appointment�察�I hope�拭院�
^Forgotten�拭 �Trust him for that。 He never forgets anything。 I
saw him tonight�察 �about eight!helped him to shut up his shop!
and he had got the letters then in his hairy cap。 He pulled it off�察�
and showed ¨em me。 When the shop was closed�察�he took them out
of his cap�察�hung his cap on the chair´back�察�and stood turning them
over before the fire。 I heard him a little while afterwards through
the floor here�察�humming�察�like the wind�察�the only song he knows!
about Bibo�察�and old Charon�察�and Bibo being drunk when he died�察�
or something or other。 He has been as quiet�察 �since�察 �as an old rat
asleep in his hole。 ̄
^And you are to go down at twelve�拭院�
^At twelve。 And�察�as I tell you�察�when you came it seemed to me a
hundred。 ̄
^Tony�察院�says Mr Guppy�察�after considering a little with his legs
crossed�察 �he can¨t read yet�察�can he�拭院�
^Read� �He¨ll never read。 He can make all the letters separately�察�
and he knows most of them separately when he sees them�察�he has
got on that much�察�under me�察�but he can¨t put them together。 He¨s
too old to acquire the knack of it now!and too drunk。 ̄
^Tony�察院 �says Mr Guppy�察 �uncrossing and recrossing his legs�察�

^how do you suppose he spelt out that name of Hawdon�拭院�
^He never spelt it out。 You know what a curious power of eye
he has�察 �and how he has been used to employ himself in copying
things by eye alone。 He imitated it!evidently from the direction of
a letter�察�and asked me what it meant。 ̄
^Tony�察院 �said Mr Guppy�察 �uncrossing and recrossing his legs
again�察 �should you say that the original was a man¨s writing or a
woman¨s�拭院�
^A woman¨s。 Fifty to one a lady¨s!slopes a good deal�察�and the
end of the letter `n�察� long and hasty。 ̄
Mr Guppy has been biting his thumbnail during this dialogue�察�
generally changing the thumb when he has changed the crossed
leg。 As he is going to do so again�察�he happens to look at his coat´
sleeve。 It takes his attention。 He stares at it�察�aghast。
^Why�察�Tony�察�what on earth is going on in this house tonight�拭�Is
there a chimney on fire�拭院�
^Chimney on fire� 院�
^Ah� 院�returns Mr Guppy。 ^See how the soot¨s falling。 See here�察�
on my arm� �See again�察 �on the table here� �Confound the stuff�察 �it
won¨t blow off!smears�察�like black fat� 院�
They look at one another�察�and Tony goes listening to the door�察�
and a little way upstairs�察�and a little way downstairs。 Comes back�察�
and says it¨s all right�察 �and all quiet�察 �and quotes the remark he
lately made to Mr Snagsby�察�about their cooking chops at the Sol¨s
Arms。
^And it was then�察院 �resumes Mr Guppy�察 �still glancing with
remarkable aversion at his coat´sleeve�察 �as they pursue their
conversation before the fire�察�leaning on opposite sides of the
