^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。
^Now let us see�察院 �says Mr Tulkinghorn�察 �tapping his chin with
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
again。 ̄
^And again�察院 �says Mademoiselle�察 �with more tight and angry
nods。 ^And yet again。 And yet again。 And many times again。 In
effect�察�for ever� 院�
^And not only here�察 �but you will go to Mr Snagsby¨s�察 �too�察�
perhaps�拭 �That visit not succeeding either�察 �you will go again
perhaps�拭院�
^And again�察院 �repeats Mademoiselle�察 �cataleptic with
determination。 ^And yet again。 And yet again。 And many times
again。 In effect�察�for ever� 院�
^Very well。 Now Mademoiselle Hortense�察 �let me recommend
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。
^You will not�察�eh�拭院�

^No�察�I will not� 院�
^So much the poorer you�察�so much the richer I� �Look�察�mistress�察�
this is the key of my wine´cellar。 It is a large key�察�but the keys of
prisons are larger。 In this city�察 �there are houses of correction
��where the treadmills are�察�for women�� the gates of which are very
strong and heavy�察�and no doubt the keys too。 I am afraid a lady of
your spirit and activity would find it an inconvenience to have one
of those keys turned upon her for any length of time。 What do you
think�拭院�
^I think�察院 �Mademoiselle replies�察 �without any action�察 �and in a
clear obliging voice�察 �that you are a miserable wretch。 ̄
^Probably�察院�returns Mr Tulkinghorn�察�quietly blowing his nose。
^But I don¨t ask what you think of myself�察�I ask what you think of
the prison。 ̄
^Nothing。 What does it matter to me�拭院�
^Why it matters this much�察 �mistress�察院 �says the lawyer�察�
deliberately putting away his handkerchief�察�and adjusting his
