same   intent�察  �and   there   is   more   learned   talk   about   inflammable 

gases     and    phosphuretted        hydrogen      than    the   court    has   ever 

imagined。   Some   of   these   authorities   ��of   course   the   wisest��   hold 

with  indignation  that  the   deceased   had no  business   to  die   in   the 

alleged     manner�察  �and     being   reminded       by   other   authorities     of  a 

certain inquiry into the evidence for such deaths�察�reprinted in the 

sixth volume of the Philosophical Transactions�察�and also of a book 

not    quite    unknown�察      �on   English     Medical     Jurisprudence�察       �and 

likewise of the Italian case of the Countess Cornelia Baudi as set 

forth in detail by one Bianchini�察�prebendary of Verona�察�who wrote 

a scholarly work or so�察�and was occasionally heard of in his time as 

having     gleams     of  reason    in  him�察  �and    also   of  the  testimony     of 

Messrs。   Foder└   and   Mere�察  �two   pestilent   Frenchmen   who  would 

investigate the subject�察�and further�察�of the corroborative testimony 

of   Monsieur      Le   Cat�察 �a  rather    celebrated     French     surgeon     once 

upon   a   time�察  �who   had   the   unpoliteness   to   live   in   a   house   where 

such a case occurred�察�and even to write an account of it�察�still they 

regard the late Mr Krook¨s obstinacy�察�in going out of the world by 

any such by´way�察�as wholly unjustifiable and personally offensive。 

The less the court understands of all this�察�the more the court likes 

it�察  �and   the   greater   enjoyment   it   has   in   the   stock   in   trade   of   the 

Sol¨s Arms。 Then�察�there   comes   the   artist  of  a picture   newspaper�察�

with  a   foreground   and   figures   ready   drawn   for  anything�察  �from   a 

wreck on the Cornish coast to a review in Hyde Park�察�or a meeting 

at   Manchester�察�and            in  Mrs    Perkins¨s      own    room�察    �memorable 

evermore�察�he then and there throws in upon the block�察�Mr Krook¨s 

house�察�as large   as   life�察  �in   fact  considerably larger�察  �making  a  very 

temple of it。 Similarly�察�being permitted to look in at the door of the 

fatal   chamber�察  �he   depicts   that   apartment   as   three   quarters   of   a 

mile   long�察  �by   fifty   yards   high�察  �at   which   the   court   is   particularly 

charmed。 All this time�察�the two gentlemen before   mentioned   pop 

in    and    out   of   every    house�察    �and    assist    at   the   philosophical 

disputations!go   everywhere�察  �and   listen   to   everybody�察�and   yet 

are    always     diving   into   the   Sol¨s   parlour�察   �and    writing    with    the 

ravenous little pens on the tissue´paper。 

    At last come the coroner and his inquiry�察�like as before�察�except 

that  the   coroner  cherishes   this   case as being  out   of   the   common 

way�察  �and   tells   the   gentlemen   of  the   Jury�察  �in   his   private   capacity�察�

that    ^that    would      seem     to  be    an   unlucky      house     next    door�察�

gentlemen�察  �a   destined   house�察  �but   so   we   sometimes   find   it�察  �and 

these   are   mysteries   we   can¨t   account   for� 院  �After   which   the   six´ 

footer comes into action�察�and is much admired。 

    In all these proceedings Mr Guppy has so slight a part�察�except 

when   he   gives   his   evidence�察  �that   he   is   moved   on   like   a   private 

individual�察  �and   can   only   haunt   the   secret   house   on   the   outside�察�

where       he    has    the    mortification       of   seeing     Mr     Smallweed 

padlocking the door。 But before these proceedings draw to a close�察�

that is to say�察  �on   the night  next  after  the   catastrophe�察  �Mr  Guppy 

has a thing to say that must be said to Lady Dedlock。 

    For which reason�察�with a sinking heart�察�and with that hang´dog 

sense   of   guilt   upon   him�察  �which  dread   and   watching�察  �enfolded   in

the   Sol¨s   Arms�察  �have   produced�察  �the   young   man   of   the   name   of 

Guppy       presents    himself     at  the   town    mansion      at  about    seven 

o¨clock in the evening�察�and requests to see her ladyship。 Mercury 

replies that she is going out to dinner�察�don¨t he see the carriage at 

the door�拭�Yes�察�he does see the carriage at the door�察�but he wants 

to see my lady too。 

    Mercury   is   disposed�察  �as   he   will   presently   declare   to   a   fellow 

gentleman       in   waiting�察    �to  pitch   into   the   young    man�察院    �but   his 

instructions   are   positive。   Therefore   he   sulkily   supposes   that   the 

young   man   must   come   up   into   the   library。   There   he   leaves   the 

young man in a large room�察�not overlight�察�while he makes report of 

him。 

    Mr   Guppy   looks   into   the   shade   in   all   directions�察  �discovering 

everywhere a certain charred and   whitened little   heap   of  coal   or 

wood。 Presently he hears a rustling。 Is it !�拭�No�察�it¨s no ghost�察�but 

fair flesh and blood�察�most brilliantly dressed。 

    ^I   have   to   beg   your   ladyship¨s   pardon�察院  �Mr   Guppy   stammers�察�

very downcast。 ^This is an inconvenient time! ̄ 

     ^I   told   you�察  �you   could   come   at   any   time。 ̄   She   takes   a   chair�察�

looking straight at him as on the last occasion。 

    ^Thank your ladyship。 Your ladyship is very affable。 ̄ 

    ^You can sit down。 ̄ There is not much affability in her tone。 

    ^I   don¨t   know�察  �your   ladyship�察  �that   it¨s   worth   while   my   sitting 

down   and   detaining   you�察  �for   I!I   have   not   got   the   letters   that   I 

mentioned when I had the honour of waiting on your ladyship。 ̄ 

    ^Have you come merely to say so�拭院�

    ^Merely   to     say   so�察 �your   ladyship。 ̄     Mr   Guppy     besides     being 

depressed�察       �disappointed�察      �and    uneasy�察     �is  put    at   a   further 

disadvantage by the splendour and beauty of her appearance。 She

knows its influence perfectly�察�has studied it too well to miss a grain 

of its effect on any one。 As she looks at him so steadily and coldly�察�

he    not  only   feels   conscious     that   he  has   no   guide�察  �in  the   least 

perception   of   what   is   really   the   complexion   of   her   thoughts�察  �but 

also   that   he   is   being   every   moment�察  �as   it   were�察  �removed   further 

and further from her。 

    She will not speak it is plain。 So he must。 

    ^In    short�察  �your    ladyship�察院    �says   Mr    Guppy�察    �like   a   meanly 

penitent   thief�察   �the   person   I   was   to   have   had   the   letters   of�察  �has 

come   to   a   sudden   end�察  �and! ̄       He   stops。   Lady   Dedlock       calmly 

finishes the sentence。 

    ^And the letters are destroyed with the person�拭院�

    Mr Guppy would say no�察�if he could!as he is unable to hide。 

    ^I believe so�察�your ladyship。 ̄ 

    If he could see the least sparkle of relief in her face now�拭�No�察�he 

could see no such thing�察�even if that brave outside did not utterly 

put him away�察�and he were not looking beyond it and about it。 

    He falters an awkward excuse or two for his failure。 

    ^Is   this   all   you   have   to   say�拭院  �inquires   Lady   Dedlock�察  �having 

heard him out!or as nearly out as he can stumble。 

    Mr Guppy thinks that¨s all。 

    ^You had better be sure that you  wish  to  say  nothing more   to 

me�察�this being the last time you will have the opportunity。 ̄ 

    Mr   Guppy   is   quite   sure。   And   indeed   he   has   no   such   wish   at 

present�察�by any means。 

    ^That is enough。 I will dispense with excuses。 Good evening to 

you� 院  �and   she   rings   for   Mercury   to   show   the   young   man   of   the 

name of Guppy out。

old   man  of   the   name   of   Tulkinghorn。   And   that   old   man�察  �coming 

with his quiet footstep to the library�察�has his hand at that moment 

on the handle of the door!comes in!and comes face to face with 

the young man as he is leaving the room。 

   One     glance   between     the  old  man    and   the   lady�察 �and   for  an 

instant the blind that is always down flies up。 Suspicion�察�eager and 

sharp�察�looks out。 Another instant�察�close again。 

   ^I    beg   your   pardon�察   �Lady    Dedlock。     I  beg   your   pardon     a 

thousand times。 It is so very unusual to find you here at this hour。 

I supposed the room was empty。 I beg your pardon� 院�

man� 院�

cringingly hopes that Mr Tulkinghorn of the Fields is well。
