off   his   hat�察   �but  I suppose  he   wasn¨t   over   particular。   No。   What   I 

wanted him for�察�was in connection with keeping this very  matter 

of Lady Dedlock quiet。 He had been making his tongue more free 

than   welcome�察  �as   to  a   small  accidental   service   he   had   been   paid

for by the deceased Mr Tulkinghorn�察�and it wouldn¨t do at any sort 

of price�察�to have him playing those games。 So having warned him 

out of London�察�I made an afternoon of it to warn him to keep out 

of   it   now   he   was   away�察  �and   go   farther   from   it�察  �and   maintain   a 

bright look out that I didn¨t catch him coming back again。 ̄ 

    ^Poor creature� 院�said I。 

    ^Poor enough�察院�assented Mr Bucket�察 �and trouble enough�察�and 

well enough away from London�察�or anywhere else。 I was regularly 

turned      on   my    back    when     I  found    him    taken     up   by   your 

establishment�察�I do assure you。 ̄ 

    I asked him why�拭 �Why�察�my dear�拭院�said Mr Bucket。 ^Naturally 

there was no end to his tongue then。 He might as well have been 

born with a yard and a half of it�察�and a remnant over。 ̄ 

   Although   I   remember   this   conversation   now�察  �my   head   was   in 

confusion at the time�察�and my power of attention hardly did more 

than     enable    me    to   understand       that   he   entered     into   these 

particulars to divert me。 With the same kind intention�察�manifestly�察�

he often spoke to me of indifferent things�察�while his face was busy 

with   the   one   object   that   he   had   in  view。  He   still  pursued    this 

subject as we turned in at the garden gate。 

    ^Ah� 院�said Mr Bucket。 ^Here we are�察�and a nice retired place it 

is。   Puts   a   man   in   mind   of   the   country   house   in   the   Woodpecker 

tapping�察�that was known by the smoke which so gracefully curled。 

They¨re      early   with    the   kitchen    fire�察 �and    that   denotes     good 

servants。     But    what    you¨ve    always    got   to  be   careful    of  with 

servants�察�is�察�who comes to see ¨em�察�you  never  know  what  they¨re 

up    to�察 �if  you   don¨t   know     that。  And    another     thing�察  �my   dear。

that   young   man   in   charge     on   suspicion   of   being   secreted    in   a

   We   were  now  in  front  of  the   house�察  �he   looked   attentively   and 

closely at the gravel for footprints�察�before he raised his eyes to the 

windows。

same     room�察  �when     he¨s  on   a  visit  here�察 �Miss   Summerson�拭院       �he 

inquired�察�glancing at Mr Skimpole¨s usual chamber。 

    ^You know Mr Skimpole� 院�said I。 

    ^What   do   you   call   him   again�拭院  �returned   Mr   Bucket�察  �bending 

down his ear。 ^Skimpole�察�is it�拭�I¨ve often wondered what his name 

might be。 Skimpole。 Not John�察�I should say�察�nor yet Jacob�拭院�

    ^Harold�察院�I told him。 

    ^Harold。   Yes。   He¨s   a   queer   bird   is   Harold�察院�said   Mr   Bucket�察�

eyeing me with great expression。 

    ^He is a singular character�察院�said I。 

    ^No    idea    of  money�察院    �observed     Mr    Bucket。!^He        takes   it 

though� 院�

   I involuntarily returned for answer�察�that I perceived Mr Bucket 

knew him。 

    ^Why�察  �now  I¨ll   tell   you�察  �Miss  Summerson�察院  �he   rejoined。   ^Your 

mind     will  be  all  the  better   for  not   running    on   one   point   too 

continually�察�and I¨ll tell you for a change。 It was him as pointed out 

to me where Toughey was。 I made up my mind�察�that night�察�to come 

to the door and ask for Toughey�察�if that was all�察�but�察�willing to try a 

move or so first if any such was on the board�察�I just pitched up a 

morsel of gravel at that window where I saw a shadow。 As soon as 

Harold opens it and I have had a look at him�察�thinks I�察�you¨re the 

man for me。 So I smoothed him down a bit�察�about not wanting to 

disturb the family after they was gone to bed�察�and about it¨s being

a thing to be regretted that charitable young ladies should harbour 

vagrants�察�and then�察�when I pretty well understood his ways�察�I said�察�

I should consider a fypunnote well bestowed if I could relieve the 

premises of Toughey without  causing any noise   or  trouble。   Then 

says   he�察  �lifting   up   his   eyebrows   in   the   gayest   way�察   �it¨s   no   use 

mentioning   a   fypunnote   to   me�察  �my   friend�察  �because   I¨m   a          mere 

child   in   such   matters�察  �and   have   no   idea   of   money。¨   Of   course   I 

understood what his taking it so easy meant�察�and being now quite 

sure   he   was   the   man   for   me�察  �I   wrapped   the   note   round   a   little 

stone   and   threw   it   up   to   him。   Well�   �He   laughs   and   beams�察  �and 

looks as innocent as you like�察�and says�察 �But I don¨t know the value 

of these things。 What am I to do with this�拭� `Spend it�察�sir�察� says I。 

`But   I   shall   be   taken   in�察�   he   says�察   �they   won¨t   give   me   the   right 

change�察�I shall lose it�察�it¨s no use to me。¨ Lord you never saw such a 

face   as   he   carried   it   with�   �Of   course   he   told   me   where   to   find 

Toughey�察�and I found him。 ̄ 

    I regarded this as very treacherous on the part of Mr Skimpole�察�

towards   my   Guardian�察  �and          as  passing   the    usual    bounds     of   his 

childish innocence。 

    ^Bounds�察�my dear�拭院�returned Mr Bucket。 ^Bounds�拭�Now�察�Miss 

Summerson�察�I¨ll give you a piece of advice that your husband will 

find   useful   when   you   are   happily   married   and   have   got   a   family 

about     you。    Whenever       a  person     says   to   you   that   they    are   as 

innocent as   can  be in all   concerning money�察�look   well   after   your 

own     money�察    �for   they   are  dead    certain    to   collar   it�察 �if  they   can。 

Whenever   a   person   proclaims   to   you   `In   worldly   matters   I¨m   a 

child�察� you consider that that person is only a´crying off from being 

held accountable�察�and that you have got that person¨s number�察�and 

it¨s Number One。 Now�察�I am not a poetical man myself�察�except in a

vocal way when it goes round a company�察�but I¨m a practical one�察�

and   that¨s   my   experience。   So¨s   this   rule。   Fast   and   loose   in   one 

thing。 Fast and loose in everything。 I never knew it fail。 No more 

will you。 Nor no one。 With which caution to the unwary�察�my dear�察�I 

take   the   liberty   of   pulling   this   here   bell�察  �and   so   go   back   to   our 

business。 ̄ 

    I   believe   it   had   not   been   for   a   moment   out   of   his   mind�察  �any 

more   than   it   had   been   out   of   my   mind�察  �or   out   of   his   face。   The 

whole   household   were   amazed   to   see   me�察  �without   any   notice�察  �at 

that time in the morning�察�and so accompanied�察�and their surprise 

was   not  diminished by  my  inquiries。 No  one�察  �however�察  �had   been 

there。 It could not be doubted that this was the truth。 

    ^Then�察�Miss Summerson�察院�said my companion�察 �we can¨t be too 

soon at the cottage where those brickmakers are to be found。 Most 

inquiries there I leave to you�察�if you will be so good as to make ¨em。 

The naturalest way is the best way�察�and the naturalest way is your 

own way。 ̄ 

    We   set   off   again   immediately。   On   arriving   at   the   cottage�察  �we 

found      it  shut   up�察   �and    apparently      deserted�察    �but   one    of   the 

neighbours who knew me�察�and who came out when I was trying to 

make some one hear�察�informed me that the two women and their 

husbands       now    lived   together    in   another    house�察   �made     of  loose 

rough   bricks�察  �which  stood   on   the   margin   of   the   piece   of   ground 

where   the   kilns   were�察  �and   where   the   long   rows   of   bricks   were 

drying。 We lost no time in repairing to this place�察�which was within 

a few hundred yards�察�and as the door stood ajar�察�I pushed it open。 

    There   were   only   three   of   them   sitting   at   breakfast�察  �the   child 

lying asleep on a bed in the corner。 It was Jenny�察�the mother of the 

dead child�察�who was absent。 The other woman rose on seeing me�察�

and   the   men�察  �though   they   were�察  �as   usual�察  �sulky   and   silent�察  �each 

gave me a morose nod of recognition。 A look passed between them 

when Mr Bucket followed me in�察�and   I   was   surprised   to  see   that 

the woman evidently knew him。 

   I   had   asked   leave   to   enter   of   course。   Liz   ��the   only   name   by 

which I knew her�� rose to give me her own chair�察�but I sat down on 

a stool near the fire�察�and Mr Bucket took a corner of the bedstead。

not familiar�察�I became
