ridiculous figure�察  �and   he does   and  he   will   again。   And   therefore   I

    It   seemed   to   escape   his   consideration   that   Mrs   Skimpole   and 

the   daughters   remained   behind   to   encounter   the   baker�察  �but   this 

was   so   old   a   story   to   all   of   them   that   it   had   become   a   matter   of 

course。 He took leave of his family with a tenderness as airy  and 

graceful as any other aspect in which he showed himself�察�and rode 

away with us in perfect harmony of mind。 We had an opportunity 

of  seeing  through  some   open  doors�察  �as   we   went   downstairs�察  �that 

his own apartment was a palace to the rest of the house。 

    I   could   have   no   anticipation�察  �and   I   had   none�察  �that   something

but listen to him and wonder  at  him�察 �nor  was I   alone in   this�察  �for 

Ada yielded to the same fascination。 As to my Guardian�察�the wind�察�

which   had   threatened   to   become   fixed   in   the   east   when   we   left 

Somers Town�察�veered completely round�察�before we were a couple 

of miles from it。 

    Whether       of  questionable       childishness      or  not�察  �in  any    other 

matters�察    �Mr    Skimpole      had   a  child¨s    enjoyment      of  change     and 

bright  weather。   In   no  way  wearied by  his   sallies   on   the   road�察  �he 

was in the drawing´room before any of us�察�and I heard him at the 

piano     while    I  was   yet  looking     after  my    housekeeping�察      �singing 

refrains of barcaroles and drinking songs�察�Italian and German�察�by 

the score。 

    We were all assembled shortly before dinner�察�and he was still at 

the   piano   idly   picking   out   in   his   luxurious   way   little   strains   of 

music�察  �and   talking  between   whiles   of   finishing   some   sketches   of 

the   ruined   old   Verulam   wall�察  �tomorrow�察  �which   he   had   begun   a 

year or two ago and had got tired of�察�when a card was brought in�察�

    The visitor was in the room while it was yet turning round with 

me�察  �and   before   I   had   the   power   to   stir。   If   I   had   had   it�察  �I   should 

have   hurried   away。   I   had   not   even   the   presence   of   mind�察  �in   my 

giddiness�察�to retire to Ada in the window�察�or to see the window�察�or 

to   know     where     it  was。  I  heard    my    name�察   �and    found    that   my 

Guardian was presenting me�察�before I could move to a chair。

     ^You do me the honour�察�Sir Leicester。 ̄ 

    ^Thank you!of calling here on my road from Lincolnshire�察  �to 

express   my   regret   that   any   cause   of   complaint�察  �however   strong�察�

that  I   may  have   against  a   gentleman  who!who  is   known   to   you 

and   has   been   your   host�察  �and   to   whom   therefore   I   will   make   no 

further   reference�察     �should     have   prevented      you�察  �still   more  ladies 

under   your   escort   and   charge�察  �from   seeing   whatever   little   there 

may be to gratify a polite and refined taste�察�at my house�察�Chesney 

Wold。 ̄ 

    ^You   are   exceedingly  obliging�察  �Sir  Leicester�察  �and   on   behalf   of 

those   ladies   ��who   are   present��   and   for   myself�察  �I   thank   you   very 

much。 ̄ 

    ^It   is   possible�察  �Mr   Jarndyce�察  �that   the   gentleman   to   whom�察  �for 

the    reasons     I  have    mentioned      I  refrain    from    making      further 

allusion!it is possible�察�Mr Jarndyce�察�that the gentleman may have 

done   me   the   honour  so  far   to   misapprehend   my   character�察  �as   to 

induce   you  to  believe   that   you   would   not   have   been   received   by 

my   local   establishment   in   Lincolnshire   with   that   urbanity�察  �that 

courtesy�察  �which   its   members   are   instructed   to   show   to   all   ladies 

and gentlemen who present themselves at that house。 I merely beg 

to observe�察�sir�察�that the fact is the reverse。 ̄ 

    My Guardian delicately dismissed this remark without making 

any verbal answer。 

    ^It   has   given   me   pain�察  �Mr   Jarndyce�察院  �Sir   Leicester   weightily 

proceeded。   ^I   assure   you�察  �sir�察  �it   has   given!Me!pain!to   learn 

from the housekeeper at Chesney Wold�察�that a gentleman who was 

in your company in that part of the county�察�and who would appear 

to   possess     a  cultivated     taste   for   the   Fine   Arts�察  �was    likewise 

deterred�察�by some such cause�察�from examining the family pictures

with   that   leisure�察  �that   attention�察  �that   care�察  �which   he   might   have 

desired     to   bestow   upon    them�察  �and    which   some     of  them    might 

possibly   have   repaid。 ̄   Here   he   produced   a   card�察  �and   read�察  �with 

much      gravity    and   a   little  trouble�察  �through     his   eyeglass�察    �Mr

pardon�察�Skimpole。 ̄

surprised。 

    ^Oh� 院    �exclaimed      Sir   Leicester�察    �I   am    happy    to   meet    Mr 

Skimpole�察  �and   to  have   the   opportunity  of  tendering  my   personal 

regrets。 I hope�察�sir�察�that when you again find yourself in my part of 

the county�察�you will be under no similar sense of restraint。 ̄ 

    ^You are very obliging�察�Sir Leicester Dedlock。 So encouraged�察�I 

shall certainly give myself the pleasure and advantage of another 

visit   to  your    beautiful    house。    The    owners     of   such   places    as 

Chesney Wold�察院�said Mr Skimpole�察�with his usual happy and easy 

air�察 �are public benefactors。 They are good enough to maintain a 

number of delightful objects for the admiration and pleasure of us 

poor   men�察  �and   not   to   reap   all   the   admiration   and   pleasure   that 

they yield�察�is to be ungrateful to our benefactors。 ̄ 

    Sir Leicester seemed   to  approve   of  this   sentiment  highly。   ^An 

artist�察�sir�拭院�

    ^No�察院  �returned   Mr   Skimpole。   ^A   perfectly   idle   man。   A   mere 

amateur。 ̄ 

    Sir Leicester seemed to approve of this even more。 He hoped he 

might   have   the   good   fortune   to   be     at   Chesney   Wold   when      Mr 

Skimpole       next    came     down     into    Lincolnshire。      Mr    Skimpole 

professed himself much flattered and honoured。

who�察�as he may have observed�察�is an old and attached retainer of 

the family! ̄ 

    �─�That is�察�when I walked through the house the other day�察�on 

the occasion of my going down to visit Miss Summerson and Miss 

Clare�察院�Mr Skimpole airily explained to us。��

there�察�was Mr Jarndyce。 ̄ Sir Leicester bowed to the bearer of the

have professed my regret。 That this should have  occurred   to  any 

gentleman�察     �Mr    Jarndyce�察   �but   especially    a  gentleman     formerly 

known      to   Lady    Dedlock�察    �and   indeed    claiming     some    distant
