end of the discourse�察�but that if high families fall into low habits
they must take the consequences。 ^You will not forget�察�officer�察院�he
adds�察 �with condescension�察 �that I am at your disposal when you
please。 ̄
Mr Bucket ��still grave�� inquires if tomorrow morning�察 �now�察�
would suit�察�in case he should be as for¨ard as he expects to be�拭�Sir
Leicester replies�察 �All times are alike to me。 ̄ Mr Bucket makes his
three bows�察�and is withdrawing�察�when a forgotten point occurs to
him。
^Might I ask�察 �by the bye�察院 �he says�察 �in a low voice�察 �cautiously
returning�察 �who posted the Reward´bill on the staircase。 ̄
^I ordered it to be put up there�察院�replies Sir Leicester。
^Would it be considered a liberty�察 �Sir Leicester Dedlock�察�
Baronet�察�if I was to ask you why�拭院�
^Not at all。 I chose it as a conspicuous part of the house。 I think
it cannot be too prominently kept before the whole establishment。
I wish my people to be impressed with the enormity of the crime�察�
the determination to punish it�察�and the hopelessness of escape。 At
the same time�察 �officer�察 �if you in your better knowledge of the
subject see any objection! ̄ Mr Bucket sees none now�察 �the bill
having been put up�察�had better not be taken down。 Repeating his
three bows he withdraws�此 �closing the door on Volumnia¨s little
scream�察 �which is a preliminary to her remarking that that
charmingly horrible person is a perfect Blue Chamber。
In his fondness for society�察�and his adaptability to all grades�察�Mr
Bucket is presently standing before the hall´fire!bright and warm
on the early winter night!admiring Mercury。
^Why�察�you¨re six foot two�察�I suppose�拭院�says Mr Bucket。
^Three�察院�says Mercury。

^Are you so much�拭 �But then�察 �you see�察 �you¨re broad in
proportion�察 �and don¨t look it。 You¨re not one of the weak´legged
ones�察 �you ain¨t。 Was you ever modelled now�拭院 �Mr Bucket asks�察�
conveying the expression of an artist into the turn of his eye and
head。
Mercury never was modelled。
^Then you ought to be�察 �you know�察院 �says Mr Bucket�察 �and a
friend of mine that you¨ll hear of one day as a Royal Academy
Sculptor�察�would stand something handsome to make a drawing of
your proportions for the marble。 My Lady¨s out�察�ain¨t she�拭院�
^Out to dinner。 ̄
^Goes out pretty well every day�察�don¨t she�拭院�
^Yes。 ̄
^Not to be wondered at� 院�says Mr Bucket。 ^Such a fine woman
as her�察�so handsome and so graceful and so elegant�察�is like a fresh
lemon on a dinner´table�察�ornamental wherever she goes。 Was your
father in the same way of life as yourself�拭院�
Answer in the negative。
^Mine was�察院�says Mr Bucket。 ^My father was first a page�察�then a
footman�察�then a butler�察�then a steward�察�then an inn´keeper。 Lived
universally respected�察�and died lamented。 Said with his last breath
that he considered service the most honourable part of his career�察�
and so it was。 I¨ve a brother in service�察�and a brother´in´law。 My
Lady a good temper�拭院�
Mercury replies�察 �As good as you can expect。 ̄
^Ah� 院�says Mr Bucket�察 �a little spoilt�拭�A little capricious�拭�Lord� �
What can you anticipate when they¨re so handsome as that�拭�And
we like ¨em all the better for it�察�don¨t we�拭院�

blossom small´clothes�察�stretches his symmetrical silk legs with the
air of a man of gallantry�察�and can¨t deny it。 Come the roll of wheels
and a violent ringing at the bell。 ^Talk of the angels�察院 �says Mr
Bucket。 ^Here she is� 院�
The doors are thrown open�察 �and she passes through the hall。
Still very pale�察�she is dressed in slight mourning�察 �and wears two
beautiful bracelets。 Either their beauty�察�or the beauty of her arms�察�
is particularly attractive to Mr Bucket。 He looks at them with an
eager eye�察 �and rattles something in his pocket!halfpence
perhaps。
Noticing him at his distance�察�she turns an inquiring look on the
other Mercury who has brought her home。
^Mr Bucket�察�my Lady。 ̄
Mr Bucket makes a leg�察�and comes forward�察�passing his familiar
demon over the region of his mouth。
^Are you waiting to see Sir Leicester�拭院�
^No�察�my Lady�察�I¨ve seen him� 院�
^Have you anything to say to me�拭院�
^Not just at present�察�my Lady。 ̄
^Have you made any new discoveries�拭院�
^A few�察�my Lady。 ̄
This is merely in passing。 She scarcely makes a stop�察 �and
sweeps upstairs alone。 Mr Bucket�察�moving towards the staircase´
foot�察�watches her as she goes up the steps the old man came down
to his grave�察 �past murderous groups of statuary�察 �repeated with
their shadowy weapons on the wall�察 �past the printed bill�察 �which
she looks at going by�察�out of view。
^She¨s a lovely woman�察 �too�察 �she really is�察院 �says Mr Bucket�察�
coming back to Mercury。 ^Don¨t look quite healthy�察�though。 ̄
Charles Dickens ElecBook Classics

Is not quite healthy�察�Mercury informs him。 Suffers much from
headaches。
Really�拭 �That¨s a pity� �Walking�察 �Mr Bucket would recommend
for that。 Well�察�she tries walking�察�Mercury rejoins。 Walks sometimes
for two hours�察�when she has them bad。 By night�察�too。
^Are you sure you¨re quite so much as six foot three�拭院�asks Mr
Bucket�察 �begging your pardon for interrupting you a moment�拭院�
Not a doubt about it。
^You¨re so well put together that I shouldn¨t have thought it。
But the household troops�察 �though considered fine men�察 �are built
so straggling。!Walks by night�察 �does she�拭 �When it¨s moonlight�察�
though�拭院�
O yes。 When it¨s moonlight� �Of course。 O�察 �of course� �
Conversational and acquiescent on both sides。
^I suppose you ain¨t in the habit of walking�察�yourself�拭院�says Mr
Bucket。 ^Not much time for it�察�I should say�拭院�
Besides which�察�Mercury don¨t like it。 Prefers carriage exercise。
^To be sure�察院�says Mr Bucket。 ^That makes a difference。 Now I
think of it�察院 �says Mr Bucket�察 �warming his hands�察 �and looking
pleasantly at the blaze�察 �she went out walking�察 �the very night of
this business。 ̄
^To be sure she did� �I let her into the garden over the way。 ̄
^And left her there。 Certainly you did。 I saw you doing it。 ̄
^I didn¨t see you�察院�says Mercury。
^I was rather in a hurry�察院�returns Mr Bucket�察 �for I was going to
visit a aunt of mine that lives at Chelsea!next door but two to the
old original Bun House!ninety year old the old lady is�察 �a single
woman�察�and got a little property。 Yes�察�I chanced to be passing at
the time。 Let¨s see。 What time might it be�拭�It wasn¨t ten。 ̄

^Half´past nine。 ̄
^You¨re right。 So it was。 And if I don¨t deceive myself�察�my Lady
was muffled in a loose black mantle�察�with a deep fringe to it�拭院�
^Of course she was。 ̄
Of course she was。 Mr Bucket must return to a little work he
has to get on with upstairs�察�but he must shake hands with Mercury
in acknowledgment of his agreeable conversation�察 �and will he!
this is all he asks!will he�察�when he has a leisure half´hour�察�think
of bestowing it on that Royal Academy Sculptor�察�for the advantage
of both parties�拭�
