    ^I don¨t know what Mademoiselle Hortense may want or mean�察�

unless she is mad�察院�says the lawyer。 

    ^Even     if  she   was�察  �you    know     sir�察院 �Mr   Snagsby      pleads�察    �it 

wouldn¨t be a consolation to have some weapon or another in the 

form of a foreign dagger�察�planted in the family。 ̄ 

    ^No�察院  �says   the   other。   ^Well�察  �well�   �This   shall   be   stopped。   I   am 

sorry you have been inconvenienced。 If she comes again�察�send her 

here。 ̄

    Mr Snagsby�察�with much bowing and short apologetic coughing�察�

takes his leave�察�lightened in heart。 Mr Tulkinghorn goes upstairs�察�

saying to himself�察 �These women were created to give trouble�察�the 

whole   earth   over。   The   Mistress   not   being   enough   to   deal   with�察�

here¨s the maid now� �But I will be short with this jade at least� 院�

    So  saying  he   unlocks   his door�察  �gropes   his   way   into   his   murky 

rooms�察�lights his candles�察�and looks about him。 It is too dark to see 

much   of   allegory   overhead   there�察  �but   that   importunate   Roman�察�

who is for ever toppling out of the clouds and pointing�察�is at his old 

work   pretty   distinctly。   Not   honouring   him   with   much   attention�察�

Mr    Tulkinghorn       takes    a  small   key   from    his   pocket�察   �unlocks    a 

drawer   in   which   there   is   another   key�察  �which   unlocks   a   chest   in 

which there is another�察�and so comes to the cellar´key�察�with which 

he   prepares   to   descend   to   the   regions   of   old   wine。   He   is   going 

towards the door with a candle in his hand�察�when a knock comes。 

    ^Who¨s this�拭�Ay�察�ay�察  �mistress�察�it¨s   you�察  �is   it�拭 �You   appear at  a 

good   time。   I   have   just   been   hearing   of   you。   Now�   �What   do   you 

want�拭院�

    He stands the   candle   on   the   chimney´piece in   the   clerk¨s   hall�察�

and taps his dry cheek with the key�察�as he addresses these words 

of welcome to Mademoiselle Hortense。 That feline personage�察�with 

her   lips   tightly   shut�察  �and   her   eyes   looking   out   at   him   sideways�察�

softly closes the door before replying。 

    ^I have had great deal of trouble to find you�察�sir。 ̄ 

    ^Have you� 院�

    ^I have been here very often�察�sir。 It has always been said to me�察�

he is not at home�察  �he   is engage�察  �he is   this and   that�察  �he   is   not  for 

you。 ̄ 

    ^Quite right�察�and quite true。 ̄

    ^Not true。 Lies� 院�

   At times�察�there is a suddenness in the manner of Mademoiselle 

Hortense so like a bodily spring  upon   the   subject  of  it�察  �that  such 

subject involuntarily starts and   falls   back。   It  is  Mr  Tulkinghorn¨s 

case    at  present�察  �though    Mademoiselle       Hortense�察   �with   her   eyes 

almost   shut   up   ��but   still   looking   out   sideways���察 �is  only   smiling 

contemptuously and shaking her head。 

    ^Now�察�mistress�察院�says the lawyer�察�tapping the key hastily upon 

the chimney´piece。 ^If you have anything to say�察�say it�察�say it。 ̄ 

    ^Sir�察  �you   have   not   use  me    well。  You   have   been    mean    and 

shabby。 ̄ 

    ^Mean and   shabby�察  �eh�拭院  �returns   the  lawyer�察  �rubbing  his   nose 

with the key。 

    ^Yes。 What is it that I tell you�拭�You know you have。 You have 

attrapped   me!catched   me!to            give   you  information�察    �you   have 

asked me to show you the dress of mine my Lady must have wore 

that   night�察  �you   have   prayed   me   to   come   in   it   here   to   meet   that 

boy!Say�       �Is  it  not�拭院  �Mademoiselle       Hortense      makes    another 

spring。 

    ^You are a vixen�察�a vixen� 院�Mr Tulkinghorn seems to meditate�察�

as he looks distrustfully at her�察�then he replies�察 �Well�察�wench�察�well。 

I paid you。 ̄ 

    ^You     paid    me� 院   �she   repeats�察   �with    fierce   disdain。    ^Two 

sovereign� �I have not change them�察�I ref´use them�察�I des´pise them�察�

I throw them from me� 院�Which she literally does�察�taking them out 

of her bosom as she speaks�察�and flinging them with such violence 

on the floor�察�that they jerk up again into the light before they roll 

away   into   corners�察  �and   slowly   settle   down   there    after   spinning 

vehemently。

    ^Now� 院�says Mademoiselle Hortense�察�darkening her large eyes 

again。 ^You have paid me�拭�Eh�察�my God�察�O yes� 院�

   Mr     Tulkinghorn       rubs   his   head    with    the   key�察  �while    she 

entertains herself with a sarcastic laugh。 

    ^You must be rich�察�my fair friend�察院�he composedly observes�察 �to 

throw money about in that way� 院�

    ^I  am   rich�察院  �she   returns�察   �I   am   very   rich   in   hate。   I   hate   my 

Lady�察�of all my heart。 You know that。 ̄ 

    ^Know it�拭�How should I know it�拭院�

    ^Because you have known it perfectly�察�before you prayed me to 

give you that information。 Because you have known perfectly that 

I   was   en´r´r´r´raged� 院  �It   appears   impossible   for   Mademoiselle   to 

roll the letter r sufficiently in this word�察�notwithstanding that she 

assists   her   energetic   delivery�察  �by   clenching   both   her   hands�察  �and 

setting all her teeth。 

    ^Oh� �I knew that�察�did I�拭院�says Mr Tulkinghorn�察�examining the 

wards of the key。 

    ^Yes�察�without doubt。 I am not blind。 You have made sure of me 

because      you    knew     that。   You    had    reason�     �I  det´est    her。 ̄ 

Mademoiselle        Hortense     folds   her   arms�察  �and    throws    this   last 

remark at him over one of her shoulders。 

    ^Having       said    this�察  �have     you     anything      else    to   say�察�

Mademoiselle�拭院�

    ^I am not yet placed。 Place me well。 Find me a good condition� �

If  you  cannot�察  �or  do  not  choose  to  do  that�察  �employ me   to   pursue 

her�察�to chase her�察�to disgrace and to dishonour her。 I will help you 

well�察�and with a good will。 It is what you do。 Do I not know that�拭院�

    ^You appear to know a good deal�察院�Mr Tulkinghorn retorts。 

    ^Do I not�拭�Is it that I am so weak as to believe�察�like a child�察�that

I come here in that dress to receive that boy�察�only to decide a little 

bet�察�a wager�拭�Eh my God�察�O yes� 院�In this reply�察�down to the word 

^wager ̄      inclusive�察   �Mademoiselle       has   been   ironically    polite   and 

tender�察    �then�察  �has   suddenly     dashed     into  the   bitterest   and    most 

defiant   scorn�察  �with   her   black   eyes   in   one   and   the   same   moment 

very nearly shut�察�and staringly wide open。

the    key�察  �and   looking     imperturbably       at  her�察   �how     this  matter 

stands。 ̄ 

    ^Ha� �Let us see�察院�Mademoiselle assents�察  �with  many angry  and 

tight nods of her head。 

    ^You come here to make a remarkably modest demand�察�which 

you   have   just   stated�察  �and   it   not   being   conceded�察  �you   will   come

you  to  take   the   candle   and   pick   up   that   money   of   yours。   I   think 

you will find it behind the clerk¨s partition in the corner yonder。 ̄ 

    She  merely  throws   a   laugh  over  her   shoulder�察  �and   stands   her 

ground with folded arms。
