quite at your service。 ̄ 

    We understood from what followed that Mr Skimpole was to be 

left   until   the   morning   to   occupy   the   two   places   which   had   been 

already paid for。 As Ada and I were both in low spirits concerning 

Richard�察�and very sorry so to part with him�察�we made it as plain as 

we politely could that we should leave Mr Skimpole to the Dedlock 

Arms�察�and retire when the night´travellers were gone。 

    Richard¨s   high   spirits   carrying   everything   before   them�察  �we   all 

went out together to the top of the hill above the village�察�where he 

had   ordered   a   gig   to   wait�察  �and   where   we   found   a   man    with   a 

lantern   standing   at   the   head   of   gaunt   pale   horse   that   had   been 

harnessed to it。 

    I never shall forget those two seated side by side in the lantern¨s 

light�察�Richard all flush and fire and laughter�察�with the reins in his 

hand�察    �Mr    Vholes�察   �quite    still�察 �black´gloved�察    �and   buttoned      up�察�

looking at him as if he were looking at his prey and charming it。 I 

have   before   me   the   whole   picture   of   the   warm   dark   night�察  �the 

summer lightning�察�the dusty track of road closed in by hedgerows 

and high trees�察�the gaunt pale horse with his ears pricked up�察�and 

the driving away at speed to Jarndyce and Jarndyce。 

    My dear girl told me�察�that night�察�how Richard¨s being thereafter 

prosperous   or   ruined�察  �befriended   or   deserted�察  �could   only   make 

this   difference   to   her�察  �that   the  more    he  needed   love     from   one 

unchanging   heart�察      �the   more    love   that   unchanging      heart   would 

have     to  give  him�察   �how   he   thought    of  her   through     his  present 

errors�察�and she would think of him at all times�察�never of herself�察�if 

she could devote herself to him�此�never of her own delights�察�if she 

could minister to his。 

    And she kept her word�拭�

    I looked along the road before me�察�where the distance already 

shortens   and   the   journey¨s   end   is   growing   visible�察  �and�察  �true   and 

good above the dead sea of the Chancery suits�察�and all the ashey 

fruit it casts ashore�察�I think I see my darling。

                                A Struggle 



             hen our time came for returning to Bleak House again�察�

Wwe were punctual to the day�察�and were received with an 

             overpowering        welcome。     I  was   perfectly    restored    to 

health and strength�察�and finding my housekeeping keys laid ready 

for me in my room�察�rang myself in as if I had been a new year�察�with 

a merry little peal。 ^Once more�察�duty�察�duty�察�Esther�察院�said I�察 �and if 

you     are  not   overjoyed     to   do   it�察 �more   than    cheerfully    and 

contentedly�察  �through   anything   and   everything�察  �you   ought   to   be。 

That¨s all I have to say to you�察�my dear� 院�

    The   first  few  mornings   were   mornings   of   so   much   bustle   and 

business�察�devoted to such  settlements  of  accounts�察�such  repeated 

journeys   to   and   fro  between   the   Growlery   and   all   other   parts   of 

the   house�察  �so  many  rearrangements   of drawers   and presses�察  �and 

such     a  general    new    beginning     altogether�察   �that  I  had    not  a 

moment¨s leisure。 But when these arrangements were completed�察�

and    everything     was   in  order�察 �I  paid  a  visit  of  a  few  hours    to 

London�察�which something in the letter I had destroyed at Chesney 

Wold had induced me to decide upon in my own mind。 

    I made Caddy Jellyby!her maiden name was so natural to me 

that I always called her by it!the pretext for this visit�察�and wrote 

her a note previously�察�asking the favour of her company on a little 

business   expedition。   Leaving   home   very   early   in   the   morning�察  �I 

got to London by stage´coach in such good time�察�that I walked to 

Newman Street with the day before me。

    Caddy�察  �who   had   not   seen   me   since   her   wedding   day�察  �was   so 

glad   and   so  affectionate   that   I   was   half  inclined   to   fear   I   should 

make her husband jealous。 But he was�察�in his way�察�just as bad!I 

mean as good�察�and in short it was the old story�察�and nobody would 

leave me any possibility of doing anything meritorious。 

    The elder Mr Turveydrop was in bed�察�I found�察�and Caddy was 

milling   his   chocolate�察  �which   a   melancholy   little   boy   who   was   an 

apprentice!it  seemed  such a   curious   thing   to   be   apprenticed   to 

the trade of dancing!was waiting to carry upstairs。 Her father´in´ 

law was extremely kind and considerate�察�Caddy told me�察�and they 

lived    most    happily    together。    ��When     she   spoke     of  their   living 

together�察�she meant that the old gentleman had all the good things 

and   all   the   good   lodging�察  �while   she   and   her   husband   had   what 

they   could   get�察  �and   were   poked   into   two   corner   rooms   over   the 

Mews。�� ^And how is your mama�察�Caddy�拭院�said I。 

    ^Why�察�I hear of her�察�Esther�察院�replied Caddy�察 �through Pa�察�but I 

see very little of her。 We are good friends�察�I am glad to say�察�but Ma 

thinks there is something absurd in my having married a dancing´ 

master�察�and she is rather afraid of its extending to her。 ̄ 

    It struck me that if Mrs Jellyby had discharged her own natural 

duties     and   obligations�察    �before    she   swept    the   horizon     with   a 

telescope     in   search    of  others�察  �she   would    have    taken    the   best 

precautions against becoming absurd�察�but I need scarcely observe 

that I kept this to myself。 

    ^And your papa�察�Caddy�拭院�

    ^He   comes   here   every   evening�察院  �returned   Caddy�察   �and   is   so 

fond of sitting in the corner there�察�that it¨s a treat to see him。 ̄ 

    Looking      at  the  corner�察   �I  plainly   perceived     the   mark    of  Mr 

Jellyby¨s head against the wall。 It was consolatory to know that he

had found such a resting´place for it。 

    ^And you�察�Caddy�察院�said I�察 �you are always busy�察�I¨ll be bound�拭院�

    ^Well�察�my dear�察院�returned Caddy�察 �I am indeed�察�for to tell you a 

grand     secret�察  �I  am   qualifying    myself    to  give   lessons。    Prince¨s 

health is not strong and I want to be able to assist him。 What with 

schools�察�and classes here�察�and private pupils�察�and the apprentices�察�

he really has too much to do�察�poor fellow� 院�

    The   notion   of   the   apprentices   was   still   so   odd   to   me�察  �that   I 

asked Caddy�察�if there were many of them�拭�

    ^Four�察院�said Caddy。 ^One indoor�察�and three out。 They are very 

good     children�察   �only   when     they   get   together    they  will    play! 

children´like!instead of attending to their work。 So the little boy 

you saw just now waltzes by himself in the empty kitchen�察�and we 

distribute the others as well as we can。 ̄ 

    ^That is only for their steps�察�of course�拭院�said I。 

    ^Only for their steps�察院�said Caddy。 ^In that way they practise so 

many   hours   at   a   time�察  �whatever   steps   they   happen   to   be   upon。 

They dance in the academy�察�and at this time of year we do Figures 

at five every morning。 ̄ 

    ^Why�察�what a laborious life� 院�I exclaimed。 

    ^I   assure   you�察  �my   dear�察院  �returned   Caddy�察  �smiling�察   �when   the 

outdoor apprentices ring us up in the morning ��the bell rings into 

our room�察�not to disturb old Mr Turveydrop���察�and when I put up 

the   window�察  �and   see   them   standing   on   the   doorstep   with   their 

little  pumps      under    their  arms�察   �I  am   actually   reminded      of  the 

Sweeps。 ̄ 

   All this presented the art to me in a   singular  light�察  �to  be   sure。 

Caddy   enjoyed   the   effect   of   her   communication�察  �and   cheerfully 

recounted the particulars of her own studies。

    ^You see�察�my dear�察�to save expense�察�I ought to know something 

of  the   Piano�察�and   I   ought  to  know  something   of   the   Kit   too�察  �and 

consequently  I   have   to  practise   those   two  instruments   as   well  as 

the details of our profession。 If Ma   had been like   anybody  else�察�I 

might     have    had   some    little  musical    knowledge       to  begin   upon。 

However�察�I hadn¨t any�察�and that part of the work is�察�at first�察�a little 

discouraging�察�I must allow。 But I have a very good ear�察�and I am 

used to drudgery!I have to thank Ma for that�察�at all events!and 

where   there¨s   a   will   there¨s   a   way�察  �you   know�察  �Esther�察  �the   world 

over。 ̄   Saying  these   words�察  �Caddy   laughingly   sat   down   at   a   little 

jingling square piano�察�and really rattled off a quadrille with great 

spirit。   Then   she   good´humouredly   and
