an object�察�but I have an object now!or it has me!and it is too late
to discuss it。 Take me as I am�察�and make the best of me。 ̄
^A bargain�察院 �said Mr Woodcourt。 ^Do as much by me in
return。 ̄
^Oh� �You�察院�returned Richard�察 �you can pursue your art for its
own sake�察 �and can put your hand upon the plough�察 �and never
turn�察�and can strike a purpose out of anything。 You�察�and I�察�are very
different creatures。 ̄
He spoke regretfully�察�and lapsed for a moment into his weary
condition。
^Well�察 �well� 院 �he cried�察 �shaking it off�察 �everything has an end。
We shall see� �So you will take me as I am�察 �and make the best of
me�拭院�
^Ay� �indeed I will。 ̄ They shook hands upon it laughingly�察�but in
deep earnestness。 I can answer�察�for one of them�察�with my heart of
hearts。
^You come as a godsend�察院 �said Richard�察 �for I have seen
nobody here yet but Vholes。 Woodcourt�察 �there is one subject I
should like to mention�察�for once and for all�察�in the beginning of our
treaty。 You can hardly make the best of me if I don¨t。 You know�察�I
dare say�察�that I have an attachment to my cousin Ada�拭院�
Mr Woodcourt replied that I had hinted as much to him。
^Now pray�察院 �returned Richard�察 �don¨t think me a heap of
selfishness。 Don¨t suppose that I am splitting my head and half
breaking my heart over this miserable Chancery suit�察�for my own
rights and interests alone。 Ada¨s are bound up with mine�察 �they
can¨t be separated�察�Vholes works for both of us。 Do think of that� 院�
He was so very solicitous on this head�察�that Mr Woodcourt gave
him the strongest assurances that he did him no injustice。

^You see�察院�said Richard�察�with something pathetic in his manner
of lingering on the point�察�though it was offhand and unstudied�察 �to
an upright fellow like you�察�bringing a friendly face like yours here�察�
I cannot bear the thought of appearing selfish and mean。 I want to
see Ada righted�察 �Woodcourt�察 �as well as myself�察 �I want to do my
utmost to right her�察�as well as myself�察�I venture what I can scrape
together to extricate her�察 �as well as myself。 Do�察 �I beseech you�察�
think of that� 院�
Afterwards�察 �when Mr Woodcourt came to reflect on what had
passed�察 �he was so very much impressed by the strength of
Richard¨s anxiety on this point�察�that in telling me generally of his
first visit to Symond¨s Inn�察�he particularly dwelt upon it。 It revived
a fear I had had before�察�that my dear girl¨s little property would be
absorbed by Mr Vholes�察�and that Richard¨s justification to himself
would be sincerely this。 It was just as I began to take care of
Caddy�察�that the interview took place�察�and I now return to the time
when Caddy had recovered�察�and the shade was still between me
and my darling。
I proposed to Ada�察 �that morning�察 �that we should go and see
Richard。 It a little surprised me to find that she hesitated�察�and was
not so radiantly willing as I had expected。
^My dear�察院 �said I�察 �you have not had any difference with
Richard since I have been so much away�拭院�
^No�察�Esther。 ̄
^Not heard of him perhaps�拭院�said I。
^Yes�察�I have heard of him�察院�said Ada。
Such tears in her eyes�察 �and such love in her face。 I could not
make my darling out。 Should I go to Richard¨s by myself�察�I said�拭�
No�察�Ada thought I had better not go by myself。 Would she go with

me�拭 �Yes�察 �Ada thought she had better go with me。 Should we go
now�拭�Yes�察�let us go now。 Well�察�I could not understand my darling�察�
with the tears in her eyes and the love in her face� �
We were soon equipped�察 �and went out。 It was a sombre day�察�
and drops of chill rain fell at intervals。 It was one of those
colourless days when everything looks heavy and harsh。 The
houses frowned at us�察�the dust rose at us�察 �the smoke swooped at
us�察�nothing made any compromise about itself�察�or wore a softened
aspect。 I fancied my beautiful girl quite out of place in the rugged
streets�察�and I thought there were more funerals passing along the
dismal pavements�察�than I had ever seen before。
We had first to find out Symond¨s Inn。 We were going to inquire
in a shop�察�when Ada said she thought it was near Chancery Lane。
^We are not likely to be far out�察�my love�察�if we go in that direction�察院�
said I。 So to Chancery Lane we went�察�and there�察�sure enough�察�we
saw it written up。 Symond¨s Inn。
We had next to find out the number。 ^Or Mr Vholes¨s office will
do�察院 �I recollected�察 �for Mr Vholes¨s office is next door。 ̄ Upon
which Ada said�察�perhaps that was Mr Vholes¨s office in the corner
there。 And it really was。
Then came the question�察�which of the two next doors�拭�I was for
going to the one�察�and my darling was for going to the other�察 �and
my darling was right again。 So�察 �up we went to the second story�察�
where we came to Richard¨s name in great white letters on a
hearse´like panel。
I should have knocked�察 �but Ada said perhaps we had better
turn the handle and go in。 Thus we came to Richard�察�poring over a
table covered with dusty bundles of papers which seemed to me
like dusty mirrors reflecting his own mind。 Wherever I looked�察 �I

saw the ominous words that ran in it�察 �repeated。 Jarndyce and
Jarndyce。
He received us very affectionately�察�and we sat down。 ^If you had
come a little earlier�察院�he said�察 �you would have found Woodcourt
here。 There never was such a good fellow as Woodcourt is。 He
finds time to look in between whiles�察�when anybody else with half
his work to do would be thinking about not being able to come。
And he is so cheery�察 �so fresh�察 �so sensible�察 �so earnest�察 �so!
everything that I am not�察 �that the place brightens whenever he
comes�察�and darkens whenever he goes again。 ̄
^God bless him�察院�I thought�察 �for his truth to me� 院�
^He is not so sanguine�察 �Ada�察院 �continued Richard�察 �casting his
dejected look over the bundles of papers�察 �as Vholes and I are
usually�察�but he is only an outsider�察�and is not in the mysteries。 We
have gone into them�察�and he has not。 He can¨t be expected to know
much of such a labyrinth。 ̄
As his look wandered over the papers again�察�and he passed his
two hands over his head�察�I noticed how sunken and how large his
eyes appeared�察�how dry his lips were�察�and how his fingernails were
all bitten away。
^Is this a healthy place to live in�察�Richard�察�do you think�拭院�said I。
^Why�察 �my dear Minerva�察院 �answered Richard�察 �with his old gay
laugh�察 �it is neither a rural nor a cheerful place�察�and when the sun
shines here�察 �you may lay a pretty heavy wager that it is shining
brightly in an open spot。 But it¨s well enough for the time。 It¨s near
the offices�察�and near Vholes。 ̄
^Perhaps�察院�I hinted�察 �a change from both! ̄
^!Might do me good�拭院 �said Richard�察 �forcing a laugh as he
finished the sentence。 ^I shouldn¨t wonder� �But it can only come

in one way now!in one of two ways�察 �I should rather say。 Either
the suit must be ended�察 �Esther�察 �or the suitor。 But it shall be the
suit�察�the suit�察�my dear girl� 院�
These latter words were addressed to Ada�察 �who was sitting
nearest to him。 Her face being turned away from me and towards
him�察�I could not see it。
^We are doing very well�察院 �pursued Richard。 ^Vholes will tell
you so。 We are really spinning along。 Ask Vholes。 We are giving
them no rest。 Vholes knows all their windings and turnings�察 �and
we are upon them everywhere。 We have astonished them already。
We shall rouse up that nest of sleepers�察�mark my words� 院�
His hopefulness had long been more painful to me than his
despondency�察 �it was so unlike hopefulness�察 �had something so
fierce in its determination to be it�察�was so hungry and eager�察�and
yet so conscious of being forced and unsustainable�察 �that it had
long touched me to the heart。 But the commentary upon it now
indelibly written in his handsome face�察 �made it far more
distressing than it used to be。
