from stealthy movement�察�and when barred helmets are frightfully 

suggestive   of   heads   inside。   But�察  �of   all   the    shadows   in     Chesney 

Wold�察    �the   shadow      in  the   long   drawing´room         upon    my    Lady¨s 

picture is the first to come�察 �the   last  to  be   disturbed。  At  this   hour 

and by this light it changes into threatening hands raised up�察�and 

menacing the handsome face with every breath that stirs。

    ^She   is   not   well�察  �ma¨am�察院  �says   a   groom   in   Mrs   Rouncewell¨s 

audience´chamber。 

    ^My Lady not well�拭�What¨s the matter�拭院�

    ^Why�察�my Lady has been but poorly�察�ma¨am�察�since she was last 

here!I   don¨t   mean   with   the   family�察  �ma¨am�察  �but   when   she   was 

here as a bird of passage!like。 My Lady has not been out much�察�

for her�察�and has kept her room a good deal。 ̄ 

    ^Chesney Wold�察�Thomas�察院�rejoins the housekeeper�察�with proud 

complacency�察 �will set my Lady up� �There is no finer air�察�and no 

healthier soil�察�in the world� 院�

    Thomas   may   have   his   own   personal   opinions   on   this   subject�察�

probably  hints   them�察  �in   his   manner   of   smoothing   his   sleek   head 

from     the  nape    of  his  neck    to  his  temples�察   �but   he  forbears    to 

express them further�察�and retires to the servants¨ hall to regale on 

cold meat´pie and ale。 

    This    groom     is  the  pilot´fish   before    the  nobler    shark。    Next 

evening�察�down come Sir Leicester and my Lady with their largest 

retinue�察�and down come the cousins and others from all the points 

of   the   compass。      Henceforth      for   some    weeks�察    �backward      and 

forward   rush   mysterious   men   with   no   names�察  �who   fly   about   all 

those particular parts of the country on which Doodle is at present 

throwing himself in an auriferous and malty shower�察�but who are 

merely   persons   of   a   restless   disposition   and   never   do   anything 

anywhere。 

    On    these   national    occasions�察   �Sir  Leicester    finds   the   cousins 

useful。 A better man than the Honourable Bob Stables to meet the 

Hunt     at   dinner�察   �there   could    not   possibly    be。   Better    got   up 

gentlemen   than   the   other   cousins�察  �to   ride   over   to   polling´booths 

and hustings here and there�察�and show themselves on the side of

England�察�it would be hard to find。 Volumnia is a little dim�察�but she 

is   of   the   true   descent�察  �and   there   are   many   who   appreciate   her 

sprightly conversation�察�her French conundrums so old as to have 

become   in   the   cycles   of   time    almost   new   again�察    �the   honour   of 

taking  the   fair  Dedlock in   to dinner�察  �or  even   the   privilege   of   her 

hand in the dance。 On these national occasions�察�dancing may be a 

patriotic service�此�and Volumnia is constantly seen hopping about�察�

for the good of an ungrateful and unpensioning country。 

    My Lady takes no great pains to entertain the numerous guests�察�

and�察�being still unwell�察�rarely appears until late in the day。 But�察�at 

all   the   dismal   dinners�察  �leaden   lunches�察  �basilisk   balls�察  �and   other 

melancholy   pageants�察  �her   mere   appearance   is   a   relief。   As   to   Sir 

Leicester�察�he conceives it utterly impossible that anything can be 

wanting�察�in any direction�察�by any one who has the good fortune to 

be received under that roof�察�and in a state of sublime satisfaction�察�

he moves among the company�察�a magnificent refrigerator。 

    Daily   the   cousins   trot   through   dust�察  �and   canter   over   roadside 

turf�察�away to hustings and polling´booths ��with leather gloves and 

hunting´whips   for   the   counties�察  �and   kid   gloves   and   riding´canes 

for   the   boroughs���察    �and    daily   bring   back    reports    on   which    Sir 

Leicester holds forth after dinner。 Daily the restless men who have 

no occupation in life�察�present the appearance of being rather busy。 

Daily�察�Volumnia has a little cousinly talk with Sir Leicester on the 

state    of  the   nation�察   �from    which     Sir  Leicester     is  disposed     to 

conclude that Volumnia is   a  more   reflecting  woman   than   he   had 

thought her。

throw himself off the country in a few days more。 Sir Leicester has 

just   appeared      in  the   long   drawing´room        after   dinner�察   �a  bright 

particular star�察�surrounded by clouds of cousins。 

    ^Volumnia�察院  �replies   Sir   Leicester�察  �who   has   a   list   in   his   hand�察�

^we are doing tolerably。 ̄ 

    ^Only tolerably� 院�

    Although   it   is   summer   weather�察  �Sir   Leicester   always   has   his 

own   particular   fire   in   the   evening。   He   takes   his   usual   screened 

seat     near    it�察 �and   repeats�察    �with   much      firmness     and    a   little 

displeasure�察  �as   who   should   say�察  �I   am   not   a   common        man�察  �and 

when   I   say   tolerably�察  �it   must   not   be   understood      as   a   common 

expression�此 �Volumnia�察�we are doing tolerably。 ̄ 

    ^At least there is no opposition to you�察院�Volumnia asserts with 

confidence。 

    ^No�察  �Volumnia。   This   distracted   country   has   lost   its   senses   in 

many respects�察�I grieve to say�察�but! ̄ 

     ^It is not so bad as that。 I am glad to hear it� 院�

    Volumnia¨s   finishing   the   sentence   restores   her   to   favour。   Sir 

Leicester�察�with a gracious inclination of his head�察�seems to say to 

himself�察      �A    sensible      woman       this�察  �on    the    whole�察     �though 

occasionally precipitate。 ̄ 

    In   fact�察 �as   to  this  question     of  opposition�察    �the  fair  Dedlock¨s 

observation       was   superfluous�此     �Sir   Leicester�察   �on  these    occasions�察�

always delivering in his own candidateship�察�as a kind of handsome 

wholesale   order   to   be   promptly   executed。   Two   other   little   seats 

that   belong   to   him�察  �he   treats   as   retail   orders   of   less   importance�察�

merely sending down the men�察�and signifying to the tradespeople�察�

^You   will   have     the   goodness     to   make    these   materials     into   two 

members of parliament�察�and to send them home when done。 ̄

    ^I regret to say�察�Volumnia�察�that in many places the people have 

shown a bad spirit�察�and that this opposition to the Government has 

been of a most determined and most implacable description。 ̄ 

    ^W´r´retches� 院�says Volumnia。 

    ^Even�察院  �proceeds   Sir   Leicester�察  �glancing   at   the   circumjacent 

cousins on sofas and ottomans�察 �even in many!in fact�察�in most! 

of those places in which the Government has  carried   it  against  a 

faction! ̄   ��Note�察      �by   the  way�察  �that  the   Coodleites     are  always    a 

faction with the Doodleites�察�and that the Doodleites occupy exactly 

that the same position towards the Coodleites。�� ^!Even in them I 

am   shocked�察  �for   the   credit   of   Englishmen�察  �to   be   constrained   to 

inform you that the Party has not triumphed without being put to 

an   enormous   expense。   Hundreds�察院 �says Sir   Leicester�察  �eyeing   the 

cousins      with     increasing      dignity     and    swelling     indignation�察�

^Hundreds of thousands of pounds� 院�

    If   Volumnia   have   a   fault�察  �it   is   the   fault   of   being   a  trifle  too 

innocent�察  �seeing   that   the     innocence   which   would        go   extremely 

well with a sash and tucker�察�is a little out of keeping with the rouge 

and   pearl    necklace。     Howbeit�察  �impelled      by   innocence�察    �she   asks�察�

    ^Volumnia�察院       �remonstrates       Sir   Leicester�察    �with    his   utmost 

severity。 ^Volumnia� 院�

    ^No�察   �no�察  �I  don¨t  mean     what    for�察院  �cries  Volumnia      with    her 

favourite little scream。 ^How stupid I am� �I mean what a pity� 院�

    ^I   am   glad�察院  �returns   Sir   Leicester�察   �that   you   do   mean   what   a 

pity。 ̄ 

   Volumnia        hastens    to  express    her   opinion    that   the  shocking 

people ought to be tried as traitors�察�and made to support the Party。
