what you¨ve got to do is to take care of Sir Leicester Dedlock�察�
Baronet�察�and you won¨t do that by crying。 As to your son�察�he¨s all
right�察�I tell you�察�and he sends his loving duty�察 �and hoping you¨re
the same。 He¨s discharged honourable�察 �that¨s about what he is�察�
with no more imputation on his character than there is on yours�察�
and yours is a tidy one�察�I¨ll bet a pound。 You may trust me�察 �for I
took your son。 He conducted himself in a game way�察�too�察 �on that
occasion�察 �and he¨s a fine´made man�察 �and you¨re a fine´made old
lady�察 �and you¨re a mother and son�察 �the pair of you�察 �as might be
showed for models in a caravan。 Sir Leicester Dedlock�察 �Baronet�察�
what you¨ve trusted to me�察�I¨ll go through with。 Don¨t you be afraid
of my turning out of my way�察�right or left�察�or taking a sleep�察�or a
wash�察 �or a shave�察 �till I have found what I go in search of。 Say
everything as is kind and forgiving on your part�拭 �Sir Leicester
Dedlock�察�Baronet�察�I will。 And I wish you better�察 �and these family
affairs smoothed over!as�察�Lord� �many other family affairs equally
has been�察�and equally will be�察�to the end of time。 ̄
With this peroration�察�Mr Bucket�察�buttoned up�察�goes quietly out�察�
looking steadily before him as if he were already piercing the night
in quest of the fugitive。
His first step is to take himself to Lady Dedlock¨s rooms�察 �and
look all over them for any trifling indication that may help him。
The rooms are in darkness now�察�and to see Mr Bucket with a wax´
light in his hand�察 �holding it above his head�察 �and taking a sharp
mental inventory of the many delicate objects so curiously at
variance with himself�察 �would be to see a sight�察�which nobody
does see�察�as he is particular to lock himself in。
^A spicy boudoir this�察院�says Mr Bucket�察�who feels in a manner
furbished up in his French by the blow of the morning。 ^Must

have cost a sight of money。 Rum articles to cut away from�察�these�察�
she must have been hard put to it� 院�
Opening and shutting table´drawers�察 �and looking into caskets
and jewel´cases�察 �he sees the reflection of himself in various
mirrors�察�and moralises thereon。
^One might suppose I was a moving in the fashionable circles�察�
and getting myself up for Almack¨s�察院�says Mr Bucket。 ^I begin to
think I must be a swell in the Guards�察�without knowing it。 ̄
Ever looking about�察 �he has opened a dainty little chest in an
inner drawer。 His great hand�察 �turning over some gloves which it
can scarcely feel�察�they are so light and soft within it�察�comes upon a
white handkerchief。
^Hum� �Let¨s have a look at you�察院�says Mr Bucket�察�putting down
the light。 ^What should you be kept by yourself for�拭 �What¨s your
motive�拭 �Are you her Ladyship¨s property�察 �or somebody else¨s�拭�
You¨ve got a mark upon you�察�somewheres or another�察�I suppose�拭院�
He finds it as he speaks�察 �Esther Summerson。 ̄
^Oh� 院 �says Mr Bucket�察 �pausing with his finger at his ear。
^Come�察�I¨ll take you。 ̄
He completes his observations as quietly and carefully as he has
carried them on�察 �leaves everything else precisely as he found it�察�
glides away after some five minutes in all�察 �and passes into the
street。 With a glance upward at the dimly lighted windows of Sir
Leicester¨s room�察�he sets off�察�full swing�察�to the nearest coach´stand�察�
picks out the horse for his money�察�and directs to be driven to the
Shooting Gallery。 Mr Bucket does not claim to be a scientific judge
of horses�察�but he lays out a little money on the principal events in
that line�察 �and generally sums up his knowledge of the subject in
the remark�察�that when he see a horse as can go�察�he knows him。

His knowledge is not at fault in the present instance。 Clattering
over the stones at a dangerous pace�察�yet thoughtfully bringing his
keen eyes to bear on every slinking creature whom he passes in
the midnight streets�察 �and even on the lights in upper windows
where people are going or gone to bed�察�and on all the turnings that
he rattles by�察�and alike on the heavy sky�察�and on the earth where
the snow lies thin!for something may present itself to assist him�察�
anywhere!he dashes to his destination at such a speed�察�that when
he stops�察�the horse half smothers him in a cloud of steam。
^Unbear him half a moment to freshen him up�察 �and I¨ll be
back。 ̄
He runs up the long wooden entry�察 �and finds the trooper
smoking his pipe。
^I thought I should�察�George�察�after what you have gone through�察�
my lad。 I haven¨t a word to spare。 Now�察 �honour� �All to save a
woman。 Miss Summerson that was here when Gridley died!that
was the name�察�I know!all right� �where does she live�拭院�
The trooper has just come from there and gives him the address
near Oxford´street。
^You won¨t repent it�察�George。 Good night� 院�
He is off again with an impression of having seen Phil sitting by
the frosty fire�察 �staring at him open´mouthed�察 �and gallops away
again�察�and gets out in a cloud of steam again。
Mr Jarndyce�察�the only person up in the house�察 �is just going to
bed�察�rises from his book�察�on hearing the rapid ringing at the bell�察�
and comes down to the door in his dressing´gown。
^Don¨t be alarmed�察�sir。 ̄ In a moment his visitor is confidential
with him in the hall�察�has shut the door�察�and stands with his hand
upon the lock。 ^I¨ve had the pleasure of seeing you before。

Inspector Bucket。 Look at that handkerchief�察 �sir�察 �Miss Esther
Summerson¨s。 Found it myself put away in a drawer of Lady
Dedlock¨s�察�quarter of an hour ago。 Not a moment to lose。 Matter of
life or death。 You know Lady Dedlock�拭院�
^Yes。 ̄
^There has been a discovery there�察 �today。 Family affairs have
come out。 Sir Leicester Dedlock�察�Baronet�察�has had a fit!apoplexy
or paralysis!and couldn¨t be brought to�察 �and precious time has
been lost。 Lady Dedlock disappeared this afternoon�察 �and left a
letter for him that looks bad。 Run your eye over it。 Here it is� 院�
Mr Jarndyce having read it�察�asks him what he thinks�拭�
^I don¨t know。 It looks like suicide。 Anyways there¨s more and
more danger�察 �every minute�察 �of its drawing to that。 I¨d give a
hundred pound an hour to have got the start of the present time。
Now�察 �Mr Jarndyce�察 �I am employed by Sir Leicester Dedlock�察�
Baronet�察�to follow her and find her!to save her�察�and take her his
forgiveness。 I have money and full power�察 �but I want something
else。 I want Miss Summerson。 ̄
Mr Jarndyce in a troubled voice�察�repeats ^Miss Summerson�拭院�
^Now�察 �Mr Jarndyce�察院�Mr Bucket has read his face with the
greatest attention all along!^I speak to you as a gentleman of a
humane heart�察 �and under such pressing circumstances as don¨t
often happen。 If ever delay was dangerous�察 �it¨s dangerous now�察�
and if ever you couldn¨t afterwards forgive yourself for causing it�察�
this is the time。 Eight or ten hours�察�worth�察�as I tell you�察�a hundred
pound a´piece at least�察 �have been lost since Lady Dedlock
disappeared。 I am charged to find her。 I am Inspector Bucket。
Besides all the rest that¨s heavy on her�察�she has upon her�察�as she
believes�察 �suspicion of murder。 If I follow her alone�察 �she�察�being in

ignorance of what Sir Leicester Dedlock�察 �Baronet�察 �has
communicated to me�察�may be driven to desperation。 But if I follow
her in company with a young lady�察�answering to the description of
a young lady that she has a tenderness for!I ask no question�察�and
I say no more than that!she will give me credit for being friendly。
Let me come up with her�察�and he able to have the hold upon her of
putting that young lady for¨ard�察�and I¨ll save her and prevail with
her if she is alive。 Let me come up with her alone !a harder
matter!and I¨ll do my best�察�but I don¨t answer for what the best
may be。 Time flies�察 �it¨s getting on for one o¨clock。 When one
strikes�察 �there¨s another hour gone�察 �and it¨s worth a thousand
pound now�察�instead of a hundred。 ̄
This is all true�察�and the pressing nature of the case cannot he
questioned。 Mr Jarndyce begs him to remain
