for it。 Mrs Chadband�察�no doubt�拭院�

   ^And Mrs Snagsby�察院�Mr Smallweed introduces。 

   ^Husband       a  law´stationer�察   �and   friend   of  my   own�察院   �says  Mr 

Bucket。 ^Love him like a brother� �Now�察�what¨s up�拭院�

   ^Do     you   mean     what    business    have    we   come    upon�拭院    �Mr 

Smallweed asks�察�a little dashed by the suddenness of this turn� �

   ^Ah� �You know what I mean。 Let us hear what it¨s all about in 

presence of Sir Leicester Dedlock�察�Baronet。 Come� 院�

   Mr    Smallweed�察     �beckoning     Mr   Chadband�察     �takes   a  moment¨s 

counsel     with   him    in  a  whisper。    Mr    Chadband�察     �expressing    a 

considerable amount of oil from the pores of his forehead and the 

palms of his hands�察�says aloud�察 �Yes。 You first� 院�and retires to his 

former place。 

   ^I    was   the   client   and    friend   of  Mr    Tulkinghorn�察院     �pipes 

Grandfather   Smallweed�察        �then�察   �I  did   business  with   him。   I  was 

useful to him�察�and he was useful to me。 Krook�察�dead and gone�察�was 

my brother´in´law。 He was own brother to a brimstone magpie! 

leastways      Mrs    Smallweed。      I  come    into   Krook¨s     property。    I 

examined all   his   papers and   all   his   effects。   They  was all   dug   out 

under my eyes。 There was a bundle of letters belonging to a dead´ 

and´gone lodger�察�as was hid away at the back of a shelf in the side 

of   Lady   Jane¨s   bed!his   cat¨s   bed。   He   hid   all   manner   of   things 

away�察�everywheres。 Mr Tulkinghorn wanted ¨em and got ¨em�察�but I 

looked ¨em over first。 I¨m a man of business�察�and I took a squint at 

¨em。 They was letters from the lodger¨s sweetheart�察�and she signed 

Honoria。     Dear   me�察  �that¨s  not   a  common     name�察   �Honoria�察   �is  it�拭�

There¨s no lady in this house that signs Honoria�察�is there�拭�O no�察�I 

don¨t think so� �O no�察�I don¨t think so� �And not in the same hand�察�

perhaps�拭�O no�察�I don¨t think so� 院�

    Here Mr Smallweed�察�seized with a fit of coughing in the midst 

of his triumph�察�breaks   off  to  ejaculate�察   �O�察  �dear  me� �O   Lord�  �I¨m 

shaken all to pieces� 院�

    ^Now�察�when you¨re ready�察院�says   Mr  Bucket�察�after  awaiting  his 

recovery�察      �to  come     to   anything     that   concerns     Sir   Leicester 

Dedlock�察�Baronet�察�here the gentleman sits�察�you know。 ̄ 

    ^Haven¨t      I   come     to   it�察 �Mr    Bucket�拭院     �cries   Grandfather 

Smallweed。 ^Isn¨t the gentleman concerned yet�拭�Not with Captain 

Hawdon and his ever affectionate Honoria�察�and their child into the 

bargain�拭�Come�察�then�察�I want to know where those letters are。 That 

concerns me�察�if it don¨t concern Sir Leicester Dedlock。 I will know 

where   they  are。   I   won¨t   have   ¨em   disappear   so   quietly。   I   handed 

¨em    over    to  my   friend    and   solicitor�察  �Mr   Tulkinghorn�察      �not  to 

anybody else。 ̄ 

    ^Why   he   paid   you   for   them�察  �you   know�察  �and   handsome�察  �too�察院�

says Mr Bucket。 

    ^I don¨t care for that。 I want to know who¨s got ¨em。 And I tell 

you what we want!what we all   here   want�察  �Mr  Bucket。   We   want 

more painstaking  and search´making  into  this   murder。 We   know 

where   the   interest   and   the   motive   was�察  �and   you   have   not   done 

enough。   If   George   the   vagabond   dragoon   had   any   hand   in   it�察  �he 

was only an accomplice�察�and was set on。 You know what I mean as 

well as any man。 ̄ 

    ^Now�察    �I   tell  you   what�察院   �says    Mr   Bucket�察    �instantaneously 

altering his manner�察�coming close to him�察�and communicating an 

extraordinary fascination to the forefinger�察 �I am damned if I am 

going to have my case spoilt�察�or interfered with�察�or anticipated by 

so much as half a second of time�察�by any human being in creation。

You want more painstaking and search´making�拭�You  do�拭 �Do  you 

see this hand�察�and do you think that I don¨t know the right time to 

stretch it out�察�and put it on the arm that fired that shot�拭�

    Such is the dread power of the man�察�and so terribly evident it is 

that    he   makes     no   idle   boast�察  �that   Mr   Smallweed       begins    to 

apologise。 Mr Bucket�察�dismissing his sudden anger�察�checks him。 

    ^The advice I give you is�察�don¨t you trouble your head about the 

murder。 That¨s my affair。 You keep half an eye on the newspapers�察�

and   I   shouldn¨t   wonder   if    you   was   to   read  something   about   it 

before long�察�if you look sharp。 I know my business�察�and that¨s   all 

I¨ve got to say to you on that subject。 Now about those letters。 You 

want to know  who¨s   got  ¨em。   I  don¨t  mind   telling  you。 I   have  got 

¨em。 Is that the packet�拭院�

    Mr Smallweed looks�察�with greedy  eyes�察  �at  the   little bundle   Mr 

Bucket produces from a mysterious part of his coat�察�and identifies 

it as the same。 

    ^What have you got to say next�拭院�asks Mr Bucket。 ^Now�察�don¨t 

open     your   mouth     too  wide�察  �because     you   don¨t   look   handsome 

when you do it。 ̄ 

    ^I want five hundred pound。 ̄ 

    ^No�察�you don¨t�察�you mean fifty�察院�says Mr Bucket�察�humorously。 

    It appears�察�however�察�that Mr Smallweed means five hundred。 

    ^That   is�察  �I   am   deputed   by   Sir   Leicester   Dedlock�察  �Baronet�察  �to 

consider     ��without    admitting     or  promising      anything��    this   bit  of 

business�察院  �says   Mr   Bucket�察  �Sir   Leicester   mechanically   bows   his 

head�察   �and   you   ask   me   to   consider   a   proposal   of   five   hundred 

pounds。   Why�察  �it¨s   an   unreasonable   proposal�   �Two   fifty   would   be 

bad enough�察�but better than that。 Hadn¨t you better say two fifty�拭院�

    Mr Smallweed is quite clear that he had better not。

    ^Then�察院�says Mr Bucket�察 �let¨s hear Mr Chadband。 Lord� �Many 

a   time   I¨ve   heard    my   old   fellow´serjeant     of  that   name�察   �and   a 

moderate man he was in all respects�察�as ever I come across� 院�

    Thus invited�察�Mr Chadband steps forth�察�and�察�after a little sleek 

smiling�察    �and   a  little  oil´grinding    with   the   palms    of  his  hands�察�

delivers himself as follows�此�

    ^My     friends�察  �we   are   now!Rachael         my    wife�察 �and    I!in    the 

mansions of the rich and great。 Why are we now in the mansions 

of   the   rich   and   great�察  �my   friends�拭  �Is   it   because   we   are   invited�拭�

Because we are bidden to feast with them�察�because we are bidden 

to rejoice with them�察�because we are bidden to play the lute with 

them�察�because we are bidden to dance with them�拭�No。 Then why 

are   we   here�察  �my  friends�拭 �Air  we   in   possession   of   a   sinful   secret�察�

and doe we require corn�察�and wine�察�and oil!or�察�what is much the 

same     thing�察  �money!for       the   keeping     thereof�拭   �Probably     so�察 �my 

friends。 ̄ 

    ^You¨re   a   man   of business�察  �you  are�察院  �returns   Mr   Bucket�察  �very 

attentive�察 �and consequently you¨re going on to mention what the 

nature of your secret is。 You are right。 You couldn¨t do better。 ̄ 

    ^Let    us   then�察   �my    brother�察   �in   a  spirit   of  love�察院   �says   Mr 

Chadband�察  �with   a   cunning   eye�察   �proceed   untoe   it。   Rachael�察  �my 

wife�察�advance� 院�

    Mrs   Chadband�察  �more   than   ready�察  �so   advances   as   to   jostle   her 

husband   into   the   background�察  �and   confronts   Mr   Bucket   with   a 

hard frowning smile。 

    ^Since you want to know what we know�察院�says she�察 �I¨ll tell you。 

I helped to bring up Miss Hawdon�察�her Ladyship¨s daughter。 I was 

in   the   service   of  her  Ladyship¨s sister�察  �who  was   very  sensitive   to 

the disgrace her Ladyship brought upon her�察�and gave out�察�even to

her Ladyship�察�that the child was dead!she was   very  nearly  so! 

when she was born。 But she¨s alive�察�and I know her。 ̄ With these 

words�察    �and    a  laugh�察  �and    laying   a   bitter  stress    on   the  word

twenty´pound note�察�or a present of about that figure�拭院�

    Mrs Chadband merely laughs�察�and contemptuously tells him he

    Mrs   Snagsby   is   at   first   prevented�察  �by   tears   and   lamentations�察�

from stating the nature of her game�此�but by degrees it confusedly
