instrument�察     �on   occasions     of  ceremony�察    �he   lubricates    such    thin 

locks as remain to him after his life of severe study�察�Mr Bucket lays 

in a breakfast of two mutton chops as a foundation to work upon�察�

together with tea�察�eggs�察�toast�察�and marmalade�察�on a corresponding 

scale。    Having     much    enjoyed     these   strengthening       matters�察   �and 

having      held   subtle    conference      with    his   familiar    demon�察     �he 

confidently      instructs    Mercury      ^just   to  mention     quietly    to  Sir 

Leicester Dedlock�察�Baronet�察�that whenever he¨s ready for me�察�I¨m 

ready     for  him。 ̄    A   gracious    message      being    returned�察   �that   Sir 

Leicester   will   expedite   his   dressing   and   join   Mr   Bucket   in      the 

library within ten minutes�察�Mr Bucket repairs   to  that  apartment�察�

and stands before the fire�察�with his   finger  on   his   chin�察 �looking  at 

the blazing coals。 

    Thoughtful Mr Bucket is�察�as a man may be�察�with weighty work 

to do�察�but  composed�察�sure�察  �confident。   From   the   expression   of  his 

face�察  �he  might  be  a   famous   whist´player   for   a   large   stake!say   a 

hundred   guineas  certain!with  the   game   in   his   hand�察�but   with   a 

high   reputation   involved   in   his   playing   his   hand   out   to   the   last 

card�察�in a masterly way。 Not in the least anxious or disturbed is Mr 

Bucket when Sir Leicester appears�察�but he eyes the baronet aside 

as he comes slowly to his easy chair�察�with that observant gravity of

audacity of the idea�察�a touch of compassion。

later    than    my    usual   hour    this   morning。      I  am    not   well。   The 

agitation�察�and the indignation from which I have recently suffered�察�

have been too much for me。 I am subject to!gout�察院�Sir Leicester 

was going to say indisposition�察�and would have said it to anybody 

else�察  �but   Mr    Bucket     palpably    knows     all  about    it�察  �and    recent 

circumstances have brought it on。 ̄ 

    As   he   takes   his   seat   with   some   difficulty�察  �and   with   an   air   of 

pain�察  �Mr   Bucket   draws   a   little   nearer�察  �standing   with   one   of   his 

large hands on the library table。 

    ^I   am   not   aware�察  �officer�察院  �Sir   Leicester   observes�察  �raising   his 

eyes   to   his   face�察   �whether   you   wish   us   to   be   alone�察  �but   that   is 

entirely     as  you   please。    If  you   do�察 �well   and    good。   If  not�察  �Miss 

Dedlock would be interested! ̄ 

     ^Why�察    �Sir  Leicester     Dedlock�察    �Baronet�察院    �returns    Mr    Bucket�察�

with his head persuasively on one side�察�and his forefinger pendant

You will presently see that we can¨t be too private。 A lady�察�under 

any     circumstances�察      �and    especially    in   Miss   Dedlock¨s      elevated 

station     of  society�察  �can¨t   but   be  agreeable      to  me�察  �but   speaking 

without a view to myself�察�I will take the liberty of assuring you that 

I know we can¨t be too private。 ̄

evening�察�that I wanted but a very little to complete this case。 I have 

now completed it�察�and collected proof against the person who did 

this crime。 ̄

    ^No�察�Sir Leicester Dedlock�察�not the soldier。 ̄ 

    Sir   Leicester   looks    astounded�察     �and   inquires�察   �Is   the  man    in

shock�察  �when it  must  come�察�boldly  and steadily。   A   gentleman   can 

make up his mind to stand up against almost any blow。 Why�察�take

elbows�察�sits looking at him with a stony face。

preparing  you�察  �let   me   beg   of   you   not   to   trouble   your   mind   for   a 

moment�察�as to anything having come to my knowledge。 I know so 

much   about   so   many   characters�察  �high   and   low�察  �that   a   piece   of 

information   more   or   less�察  �don¨t   signify   a   straw。   I   don¨t   suppose

all�察  �any    possible     move     whatever      ��provided     it¨s  in   a   wrong

Therefore�察  �what   I   say   to   you�察  �Sir   Leicester   Dedlock�察  �Baronet�察  �is�察�

don¨t you go and let yourself be put out of the way�察�because of my 

knowing anything of your family affairs。 ̄ 

    ^I thank you for your preparation�察院�returns Sir Leicester�察�after 

a silence�察�without moving hand�察�foot�察�or feature�察 �which I hope is 

not necessary�察�though I give it credit for being well intended。 Be so

shadow       of  his   figure!^also       to  take    a  seat�察  �if  you    have    no

    None     at  all。  Mr   Bucket     brings    a  chair�察  �and   diminishes      his 

shadow。      ^Now�察    �Sir   Leicester   Dedlock�察    �Baronet�察    �with   this  short 

preface I come to the point。 Lady Dedlock! ̄ 

    Sir   Leicester     raises   himself    in   his  seat�察  �and   stares    at  him 

fiercely。 Mr Bucket brings the finger into play as an emollient。

her Ladyship is�察�she¨s universally admired�察院�says Mr Bucket。
