respectable practitioners�察 �sir�察 �can but put our shoulders to the
wheel。 We do it�察�sir。 At least�察�I do it myself�察�and I wish to think well
of my professional brethren�察 �one and all。 You are sensible of an
obligation not to refer to me�察�miss�察�in communicating with Mr C。�拭院�
I said I would be careful not to do it。
^Just so�察�miss。 Good morning。 Mr Jarndyce�察�good morning�察�sir。 ̄
Mr Vholes put his dead glove�察�which scarcely seemed to have any
hand in it�察�on my fingers�察�and then on my Guardian¨s fingers�察�and
took his long thin shadow away。 I thought of it on the outside of
the coach�察 �passing over all the sunny landscape between us and
London�察�chilling the seed in the ground as it glided along。
Of course it became necessary to tell Ada where I was going�察�
and why I was going�察 �and of course she was anxious and
distressed。 But she was too true to Richard to say anything but
words of pity and words of excuse�察 �and in a more loving spirit
still!my dear�察�devoted girl� �she wrote him a long letter of which
I took charge。
Charley was to be my travelling companion�察�though I am sure I
wanted none�察 �and would willingly have left her at home。 We all
went to London that afternoon�察�and finding two places in the mail�察�
secured them。 At our usual bedtime�察 �Charley and I were rolling
away seaward�察�with the Kentish letters。
It was a night¨s journey in those coach times�察 �but we had the

mail to ourselves�察�and did not find the night very tedious。 It passed
with me as I suppose it would with most people under such
circumstances。 At one while my journey looked hopeful�察 �and at
another hopeless。 Now I thought that I should do some good�察�and
now I wondered how I could ever have supposed so。 Now it
seemed one of the most reasonable things in the world that I
should have come�察�and now one of the most unreasonable。 In what
state I should find Richard�察�what I should say to him�察�and what he
would say to me�察�occupied my mind by turns with these two states
of feeling�察�and the wheels seemed to play one tune ��to which the
burden of my Guardian¨s letter set itself�� over and over again all
night。
At last we came into the narrow streets of Deal�察 �and very
gloomy they were�察�upon a raw misty morning。 The long flat beach�察�
with its little irregular houses�察�wooden and brick�察�and its litter of
capstans�察�and great boats�察�and sheds�察�and bare upright poles with
tackle and blocks�察�and loose gravelly waste places overgrown with
grass and weeds�察�wore as dull an appearance as any place I ever
saw。 The sea was heaving under a thick white fog�察 �and nothing
else was moving but a few early ropemakers�察 �who�察 �with the yarn
twisted round their bodies�察�looked as if�察�tired of their present state
of existence�察�they were spinning themselves into cordage。
But when we got into a warm room in an excellent hotel�察�and
sat down�察�comfortably washed and dressed�察�to an early breakfast
��for it was too late to think of going to bed���察 �Deal began to look
more cheerful。 Our little room was like a ship¨s cabin�察 �and that
delighted Charley very much。 Then the fog began to rise like a
curtain�察�and numbers of ships that we had had no idea were near�察�
appeared。 I don¨t know how many sail the waiter told us were then

lying in the Downs。 Some of these vessels were of grand size�此�one
was a large Indiaman just come home�此 �and when the sun shone
through the clouds�察�making silvery pools in the dark sea�察�the way
in which these ships brightened�察 �and shadowed�察 �and changed�察�
amid a bustle of boats putting off from the shore to them and from
them to the shore�察 �and a general life and motion in themselves�察�
and everything around them�察�was most beautiful。
The large Indiaman was our great attraction�察�because she had
come into the Downs in the night。 She was surrounded by boats�察�
and we said how glad the people on board of her must be to come
ashore。 Charley was curious too�察�about the voyage�察�and about the
heat in India�察�and the serpents and the tigers�察�and as she picked
up such information much faster than grammar�察�I told her what I
knew on those points。 I told her�察�too�察�how people in such voyages
were sometimes wrecked and cast on rocks�察 �where they were
saved by the intrepidity and humanity of one man。 And Charley
asking how that could be�察�I told her how we knew at home of such
a case。
I had thought of sending Richard a note�察�saying I was there�察�but
it seemed so much better to go to him without preparation。 As he
lived in barracks�察�I was a little doubtful whether this was feasible�察�
but we went out to reconnoitre。 Peeping in at the gate of the
barrack´yard�察 �we found everything very quiet at that time in the
morning�察�and I asked a serjeant standing on the guardhouse steps�察�
where he lived。 He sent a man before to show me�察 �who went up
some bare stairs�察�and knocked with his knuckles at a door and left
us。
^Now then� 院�cried Richard from within。 So I left Charley in the
little passage�察 �and going on to the half´open door�察 �said�察 �Can I

come in�察�Richard�拭�It¨s only Dame Durden。 ̄
He was writing at a table�察�with a great confusion of clothes�察�tin
cases�察 �books�察 �boots�察 �brushes�察 �and portmanteaus strewn all about
the floor。 He was only half´dressed!in plain clothes�察 �I observed�察�
not in uniform!and his hair was unbrushed�察 �and he looked as
wild as his room。 All this I saw after he had heartily welcomed me�察�
and I was seated near him�察�for he started upon hearing my voice�察�
and caught me in his arms in a moment。 Dear Richard� �He was
ever the same to me。 Down to!ah�察�poor�察�poor fellow� �to the end�察�
he never received me but with something of his old merry boyish
manner。
^Good Heaven�察 �my dear little woman�察院 �said he�察 �how do you
come here。 Who could have thought of seeing you� �Nothing the
matter�拭�Ada is well�拭院�
^Quite well。 Lovelier than ever�察�Richard� 院�
^Ah� 院�he said�察�leaning back in his chair。 ^My poor cousin� �I was
writing to you�察�Esther。 ̄
So worn and haggard as he looked�察 �even in the fulness of his
handsome youth�察 �leaning back in his chair�察 �and crushing the
closely written sheet of paper in his hand� �
^Have you been at the trouble of writing all that�察�and am I not
to read it after all�拭院�I asked。
^Oh my dear�察院�he returned�察�with a hopeless gesture。 ^You may
read it in the whole room。 It is all over here。 ̄
I mildly entreated him not to be despondent。 I told him that I
had heard by chance of his being in difficulty�察 �and had come to
consult with him what could best be done。
^Like you�察�Esther�察�but useless�察�and so not like you� 院�said he with
a melancholy smile。 ^I am away on leave this day!should have

been gone in another hour!and that is to smooth it over�察�for my
selling out。 Well� �Let bygones be bygones。 So this calling follows
the rest。 I only want to have been in the church�察�to have made the
round of all the professions。 ̄
^Richard�察院�I urged�察 �it is not so hopeless as that�拭院�
^Esther�察院�he returned�察 �it is indeed。 I am just so near disgrace
as that those who are put in authority over me ��as the catechism
goes�� would far rather be without me than with me。 And they are
right。 Apart from debts and duns�察 �and all such drawbacks�察 �I am
not fit even for this employment。 I have no care�察�no mind�察�no heart�察�
no soul�察�but for one thing。 Why�察�if this bubble hadn¨t broken now�察院�
he said�察 �tearing the letter he had written into fragments�察 �and
moodily casting them away�察 �by driblets�察 �how could I have gone
abroad�拭�I must have been ordered abroad�察�but how could I have
gone。 How could I�察 �with my experience of that thing�察 �trust even
Vholes unless I was at his back� 院�
I suppose he knew by my face what I was about to say�察�but he
caught the hand I had laid upon his arm�察�and touched my own lips
with it to prevent me from going on。
^No�察 �Dame Durden� �Two subjects I forbid!must forbid。 The
first is John Jarndyce。 The second�察 �you know what。 Call it
madness�察�and I tell you I can¨t help it now�察�and can¨t be sane。 But
it is no such thing
