up and down steps out of one room into another�察�and where you
come upon more rooms when you think you have seen all there
are�察 �and where there is a bountiful provision of little halls and
passages�察 �and where you find still older�察 �cottage´rooms in
unexpected places�察 �with lattice windows and green growth
pressing through them。 Mine�察�which we entered first�察 �was of this
kind�察�with an up´and´down roof�察�that had more corners in it than I
ever counted afterwards�察�and a chimney ��there was a wood´fire on
the hearth�� paved all around with pure white tiles�察�in every one of
which a bright miniature of the fire was blazing。 Out of this room�察�
you went down two steps into a charming little sitting´room�察�
looking down upon a flower´garden�察 �which room was henceforth
to belong to Ada and me。 Out of this you went up three steps�察�into
Ada¨s bedroom�察 �which had a fine broad window�察 �commanding a

beautiful view ��we saw a great expanse of darkness lying
underneath the stars���察�to which there was a hollow window´seat�察�in
which�察�with a spring´lock�察�three dear Adas might have been lost at
once。 Out of this room�察�you passed into a little gallery�察�with which
the other best rooms ��only two�� communicated�察�and so�察�by a little
staircase of shallow steps�察 �with a number of corner stairs in it�察�
considering its length�察�down into the hall。 But if�察�instead of going
out at Ada¨s door�察�you came back into my room�察�and went out at
the door by which you had entered it�察�and turned up a few crooked
steps that branched off in an unexpected manner from the stairs�察�
you lost yourself in passages�察 �with mangles in them�察 �and three´
cornered tables�察�and a Native´Hindoo chair�察�which was also a sofa�察�
a box�察 �and a bedstead�察 �and looked in every form�察 �something
between a bamboo skeleton and a great bird´cage�察 �and had been
brought from India nobody knew by whom or when。 From these�察�
you came on Richard¨s room�察�which was part library�察�part sitting´
room�察�part bedroom�察�and seemed indeed a comfortable compound
of many rooms。 Out of that�察�you went straight�察�with a little interval
of passage�察�to the plain room where Mr Jarndyce slept�察�all the year
round�察�with his window open�察�his bedstead without any furniture
standing in the middle of the floor for more air�察�and his cold´bath
gaping for him in a smaller room adjoining。 Out of that�察�you came
into another passage�察�where there were backstairs�察�and where you
could hear the horses being rubbed down�察�outside the stable�察�and
being told to Hold up�察 �and Get over�察 �as they slipped about very
much on the uneven stones。 Or you might�察 �if you came out at
another door ��every room had at least two doors���察�go straight down
to the hall again by half´a´dozen steps and a low archway�察�
wondering how you got back there�察�or had ever got out of it。

The furniture�察 �old´fashioned rather than old�察 �like the house�察�
was as pleasantly irregular。 Ada¨s sleeping´room was all flowers!
in chintz and paper�察�in velvet�察�in needlework�察�in the brocade of two
stiff courtly chairs�察�which stood�察�each attended by a little page of a
stool for greater state�察�on either side of the fireplace。 Our sitting´
room was green�察 �and had�察 �framed and glazed�察 �upon the walls�察�
numbers of surprising and surprised birds�察�staring out of pictures
at a real trout in a case�察 �as brown and shining as if it had been
served with gravy�察�at the death of Captain Cook�察�and at the whole
process of preparing tea in China�察�as depicted by Chinese artists。
In my room there were oval engravings of the months!ladies hay´
making�察 �in short waists�察 �and large hats tied under the chin�察 �for
June!smooth´legged noblemen�察 �pointing�察 �with cocked hats�察 �to
village´steeples�察 �for October。 Half´length portraits�察 �in crayons�察�
abounded all through the house�察 �but were so dispersed that I
found the brother of a youthful officer of mine in the china´closet�察�
and the grey old age of my pretty young bride�察�with a flower in her
bodice�察�in the breakfast room。 As substitutes�察�I had four angels�察�of
Queen Anne¨s reign�察�taking a complacent gentleman to heaven�察�in
festoons�察 �with some difficulty�察 �and a composition in needlework�察�
representing fruit�察 �a kettle�察 �and an alphabet。 All the moveables�察�
from the wardrobes to the chairs and tables�察 �hangings�察 �glasses�察�
even to the pincushions and scent´bottles on the dressing´tables�察�
displayed the same quaint variety。 They agreed in nothing but
their perfect neatness�察�their display of the whitest linen�察�and their
storing´up�察�wheresoever the existence of a drawer�察�small or large�察�
rendered it possible�察 �of quantities of rose´leaves and sweet
lavender。 Such�察 �with its illuminated windows�察 �softened here and
there by shadows of curtains�察�shining out upon the starlight night�察�

with its light�察�and warmth�察�and comfort�察�with its hospitable jingle�察�
at a distance�察 �of preparations for dinner�察 �with the face of its
generous master brightening everything we saw�察 �and just wind
enough without to sound a low accompaniment to everything we
heard�察�were our first impressions of Bleak House。
^I am glad you like it�察院�said Mr Jarndyce�察�when he had brought
us round again to Ada¨s sitting´room。 ^It makes no pretensions�察�
but it is a comfortable little place�察�I hope�察�and will be more so with
such bright young looks in it。 You have barely half an hour before
dinner。 There¨s no one here but the finest creature upon earth!a
child。 ̄
^More children�察�Esther� 院�said Ada。
^I don¨t mean literally a child�察院 �pursued Mr Jarndyce�察 �not a
child in years。 He is grown up!he is at least as old as I am!but in
simplicity�察 �and freshness�察 �and enthusiasm�察 �and a fine guileless
inaptitude for all worldly affairs�察�he is a perfect child。 ̄
We felt that he must be very interesting。
^He knows Mrs Jellyby�察院 �said Mr Jarndyce。 ^He is a musical
man�察 �an Amateur�察 �but might have been a Professional。 He is an
Artist�察�too�察�an Amateur�察�but might have been a Professional。 He is
a man of attainments and of captivating manners。 He has been
unfortunate in his affairs�察 �and unfortunate in his pursuits�察 �and
unfortunate in his family�察�but he don¨t care!he¨s a child� 院�
^Did you imply that he has children of his own�察�sir�拭院�inquired
Richard。
^Yes。 Rick� �Half´a´dozen。 More� �Near a dozen�察 �I should think。
But he has never looked after them。 How could he�拭 �He wanted
somebody to look after him。 He is a child�察 �you know� 院 �said Mr
Jarndyce。

^And have the children looked after themselves at all�察 �sir�拭院�
inquired Richard。
^Why�察 �just as you may suppose�察院 �said Mr Jarndyce�此 �his
countenance suddenly falling。 ^It is said that the children of the
very poor are not brought up�察�but dragged up。 Harold Skimpole¨s
children have tumbled up somehow or other。!The wind¨s getting
round again�察�I am afraid。 I feel it rather� 院�
Richard observed that the situation was exposed on a sharp
night。
^It is exposed�察院�said Mr Jarndyce。 ^No doubt that¨s the cause。
Bleak House has an exposed sound。 But you are coming my way。
Come along� 院�
Our luggage having arrived�察 �and being all at hand�察 �I was
dressed in a few minutes�察 �and engaged in putting my worldly
goods away�察 �when a maid ��not the one in attendance upon Ada�察�
but another whom I had not seen�� brought a basket into my room�察�
with two bunches of keys in it�察�all labelled。
^For you�察�miss�察�if you please�察院�said she。
^For me�拭院�said I。
^The housekeeping keys�察�miss。 ̄
I showed my surprise�察�for she added�察�with some little surprise
on her own part�此 �I was told to bring them as soon as you was
alone�察�miss。 Miss Summerson�察�if I don¨t deceive myself�拭院�
^Yes�察院�said I。 ^That is my name。 ̄
^The large bunch is the housekeeping�察 �and the little bunch is
the cellars�察�miss。 Any time you was pleased to appoint tomorrow
morning�察�I was to show you the presses and things they belong to。 ̄
I said I would be ready at half´past six�此�and�察�after she was gone�察�
stood looking at the basket�察 �quite los
