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。
