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

    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

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�

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。

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
