    He vociferates this so loudly�察�that Mr Bagnet�察�laying his hands 

on the shoulders of his comrade�察�before the latter can recover from 

his amazement�察�gets him on the outside of the street´door�察�which is 

instantly   slammed   by   the   triumphant   Judy。   Utterly   confounded�察�

perfect     abyss   of  gravity�察  �walks    up   and    down    before    the   little 

parlour window�察�like a sentry�察�and looks in every time he passes�察�

apparently revolving something in his mind。 

    ^Come�察�Mat� 院�says Mr George�察�when he has recovered himself�察�

^we must try the lawyer。 Now�察�what do you think of this rascal�拭院�

    Mr   Bagnet�察  �stopping   to   take   a   farewell   look   into   the   parlour�察�

replies�察�with one shake of his head directed at the interior�察 �If my 

old girl had been here!I¨d have told him� 院�Having so discharged 

himself   of   the   subject   of   his   cogitations�察  �he   falls   into   step�察  �and 

marches off with the trooper�察�shoulder to shoulder。 

   When       they   present    themselves      in  Lincoln¨s     Inn   Fields�察  �Mr 

Tulkinghorn is engaged�察�and not to be seen。 He is nor at all willing 

to see them�此�for when they have waited a full hour�察�and the clerk�察�

on   his   bell   being   rung�察  �takes   the   opportunity   of   mentioning   as 

much�察     �he  brings    no   more    encouraging      message      than   that   Mr 

Tulkinghorn has nothing to say to them�察�they had better not wait。 

They  do  wait�察  �however   with   the   perseverance   of   military   tactics�察�

and at last the bell rings again and the client in possession comes 

out of Mr Tulkinghorn¨s room。 

    The     client   is  a   handsome       old   lady�察  �no    other    than    Mrs 

Rouncewell�察�housekeeper at Chesney Wold。 She comes out of the 

sanctuary   with   a   fair   old´fashioned   curtsey�察  �and   softly   shuts   the 

door。 She is treated with some distinction there�察�for the clerk steps 

out of his pew to show her through the outer office�察�and to let her 

out。   The    old  lady   is  thanking     him   for  his  attention�察   �when    she 

observes the comrades in waiting。

George   not   turning   round   from   the   almanack   over   the   fireplace�察�

Mr Bagnet takes upon himself to reply�察 �Yes�察�ma¨am。 Formerly。 ̄ 

    ^I thought so。 I was sure of it。 My  heart  warms�察  �gentlemen�察�at 

the sight of you。 It always does at the sight of such。 God bless you�察�

gentlemen� �You¨ll excuse an old woman�察�but I had a son once who 

went for a soldier。 A fine handsome youth he was�察�and good in his 

bold    way�察   �though    some    people    did   disparage     him    to  his  poor 

mother。   I   ask   your   pardon   for   troubling   you�察  �sir。   God   bless   you�察�

gentlemen� 院�

    ^Same to you�察�ma¨am� 院�returns Mr Bagnet�察�with right good will。 

    There is something very touching in the earnestness of the old 

lady¨s voice�察�and in the   tremble  that  goes   through  the   quaint  old 

figure。 But Mr George is so occupied with the almanack over the 

fireplace   ��calculating   the   coming   months   by   it�察  �perhaps���察  �that   he 

does   not   look   round   until   she   has    gone   away�察   �and   the   door   is 

closed upon her。 

    ^George�察院�Mr Bagnet gruffly whispers�察�when he does turn from 

the   almanack   at   last。   ^Don¨t   be   cast   down�    �Why   soldiers�察  �why! 

should we be melancholy boys�拭� Cheer up�察�my hearty� 院�

    The   clerk   having   now   again   gone   in   to   say   that   they   are   still 

there�察   �and    Mr   Tulkinghorn       being    heard    to  return    with   some 

irascibility�察 �Let ¨em come in then� 院�they pass into the great room 

with the painted ceiling�察�and find him standing before the fire。 

    ^Now you men�察�what do you want�拭�Serjeant�察�I told you the last 

time I saw you that I don¨t desire your company here。 ̄ 

    Serjeant replies!dashed   within   the   last  few  minutes   as   to  his 

usual manner of speech�察�and even as to his usual carriage!that he 

has   received   this   letter�察  �has been   to  Mr  Smallweed   about   it�察  �and 

has been referred there。

    ^I have nothing to say to you�察院�rejoins Mr Tulkinghorn。 ^If you 

get into debt�察�you must pay your debts�察�or take the consequences。 

You have no occasion to come here to learn that�察�I suppose�拭院�

    Serjeant is sorry to say that he is not prepared with the money。 

    ^Very  well�  �then   the   other  man!this   man�察  �if   this   is   he!must 

pay it for you。 ̄ 

    Serjeant is sorry to add that the other man is not prepared with 

the money either。 

    ^Very   well�   �Then   you   must   pay   it   between   you�察  �or   you   must 

both be sued for it�察�and both suffer。 You have had the money and 

must     refund    it。  You   are   not  to  pocket    other    people¨s    pounds�察�

shillings�察�and pence�察�and escape scot free。 ̄ 

    The   lawyer   sits   down   in   his   easy   chair   and   stirs   the   fire。   Mr 

George hopes he will have the goodness to!^I tell you�察�Serjeant�察�I 

have nothing to say to you。 I don¨t like your associates�察�and don¨t 

want you here。 This matter is not at all in my course of  practice�察�

and   is   not   in   my   office。   Mr   Smallweed   is   good   enough   to   offer 

these   affairs   to me�察  �but   they   are   not   in   my   way。   You   must   go   to 

Melchisedech¨s in Clifford¨s Inn。 ̄ 

    ^I   must   make   an   apology   to   you�察  �sir�察院  �says  Mr   George�察     �for 

pressing myself upon you with so little encouragement!which is 

almost as unpleasant to me as it can be to you�察�but would you let 

me say a private word to you�拭院�

    Mr Tulkinghorn rises with his hands in his pockets�察�and walks 

into one of the window recesses。 ^Now� �I have no time to waste。 ̄ 

In the midst of his perfect assumption of indifference�察�he directs a 

sharp look at the trooper�察�taking care to stand with his own back 

to the light�察�and to have the other with his face towards it。

party     implicated      in   this   unfortunate      affair!nominally�察       �only 

nominally!and          my    sole  object    is  to  prevent     his  getting    into 

trouble on my account。 He is a most respectable man with a wife 

and family�察�formerly in the Royal Artillery! ̄

Artillery   establishment!officers�察  �men�察  �tumbrils�察  �wagons�察  �horses�察�

guns�察�and ammunition。 ̄ 

    ^`Tis likely�察�sir。 But I care a good deal for Bagnet and his wife 

and family being injured on my account。 And if I could bring them 

through   this   matter�察  �I   should   have   no   help   for   it   but   to   give   up 

without any other consideration�察�what you wanted of me the other 

day。 ̄ 

    ^Have you got it here�拭院�

    ^I have got it here�察�sir。 ̄ 

    ^Serjeant�察院�the lawyer proceeds in his dry passionless manner�察�

far more hopeless in dealing with than any amount of vehemence�察�

^make up your mind while I speak to you�察�for this is final。 After I 

have     finished   speaking     I  have   closed    the  subject�察   �and   I  won¨t 

reopen   it。   Understand   that。   You   can   leave   here�察  �for   a   few   days�察�

what you say you have brought here�察�if you choose�察�you can take it 

away at once�察�if you choose。 In case you choose to leave it here�察�I 

can  do  this   for   you!I   can   replace   this   matter   on   its   old   footing�察�

and  I   can   go  so  far  besides   as   to   give   you   a   written   undertaking 

that this man Bagnet shall never be troubled in any way until you 

have been proceeded against to the utmost!that your means shall 

be exhausted before the creditor looks to his。 This is in fact all but 

freeing him。 Have you decided�拭院�

    The trooper puts his hand into his breast�察�and answers   with  a 

long breath�察 �I must do it�察�sir。 ̄

    So   Mr   Tulkinghorn�察  �putting   on   his   spectacles�察  �sits   down   and 

writes   the   undertaking�察      �which   he    slowly   reads     and   explains    to
