          my     dear    girl   brightened�察    �can    never    fade    in   my 

T 

          remembrance。   I   never   see   it�察  �and   I   never   wish   to   see   it�察�

now�察�I have been there only once since�察�but in my memory there is 

a mournful glory shining on the place�察�which will shine forever。 

   Not a day passed�察�without my going there�察�of course。 At  first  I 

found Mr Skimpole there�察�on two or three occasions�察�idly playing 

the piano�察�and talking in his usual vivacious strain。 Now�察  �besides 

my    very   much     mistrusting    the  probability    of  his  being    there 

without making Richard poorer�察�I felt as if there were something 

in   his   careless   gaiety�察  �too   inconsistent   with   what   I   knew   of   the 

depths   of  Ada¨s   life。   I   clearly  perceived�察  �too�察  �that Ada  shared   my 

feelings。 I therefore resolved�察�after much thinking of it�察�to make a 

private visit to Mr Skimpole�察�and try delicately to explain myself。 

My dear girl was the great consideration that made me bold。 

   I   set   off  one  morning�察  �accompanied   by     Charley�察   �for  Somers 

Town。 As I approached the house�察�I was strongly inclined to turn 

back�察   �for  I  felt  what  a  desperate     attempt   it  was   to  make    an 

impression on Mr Skimpole�察�and how extremely likely it was that 

he would signally defeat me。 However�察�I thought that being there�察�

I would go through with it。 I knocked with a trembling hand at Mr 

Skimpole¨s      door!literally     with   a  hand�察   �for  the   knocker    was 

gone!and        after   a   long   parley    gained    admission      from    an 

Irishwoman�察�who was in the area when I knocked�察�breaking up the

    Mr Skimpole�察�lying on the sofa in his room�察�playing the flute a 

little�察�was enchanted to see me。   Now�察  �who  should  receive   me�察 �he 

asked�拭�Who would I prefer for mistress of the ceremonies�拭�Would 

I   have    his   Comedy       daughter�察    �his   Beauty      daughter�察    �or   his 

Sentiment daughter�拭�Or would I have all the daughters at once�察�in 

a perfect nosegay�拭�

    I  replied�察   �half  defeated     already�察   �that   I  wished    to  speak    to 

himself only�察�if he would give me leave。 

    ^My dear Miss Summerson�察�most joyfully� �Of course�察院�he said�察�

bringing   his   chair   near   mine�察  �and   breaking   into   his   fascinating 

smile�察 �of course it¨s not business。 Then it¨s pleasure� 院�

    I said it certainly was not business that I came upon�察�but it was 

not quite a pleasant matter。 

    ^Then�察  �my   dear   Miss   Summerson�察院  �said   he�察  �with   the   frankest 

gaiety�察 �don¨t allude to it。 Why should you allude to anything that 

is  not   a   pleasant    matter�拭   �I   never    do。   And    you   are   a   much 

pleasanter      creature�察   �in   every   point    of  view�察   �than   I。  You    are 

perfectly     pleasant�察   �I  am   imperfectly     pleasant�察   �then�察   �if  I  never 

allude   to   an   unpleasant   matter�察  �how   much   less   should   you�   �So�察�

that¨s disposed of�察�and we will talk of something else。 ̄ 

   Although I was embarrassed�察�I took courage to  intimate   that  I 

still wished to pursue the subject。 

    ^I   should   think it  a mistake�察院  �said   Mr   Skimpole�察  �with   his   airy 

laugh�察 �if I thought Miss Summerson capable of making one。 But I 

don¨t� 院�

    ^Mr Skimpole�察院�said I�察�raising my eyes to his�察 �I have so often 

heard you say that you are unacquainted with the common affairs 

of life! ̄

     ^Meaning our three banking´house friends�察�L�察�S�察�and who¨s the 

junior   partner�拭  �D�拭院  �said   Mr  Skimpole�察  �brightly。   ^Not   an   idea   of 

them� 院�

    ^!That�察�perhaps�察院�I went on�察 �you will excuse my boldness on 

that    account。    I  think   you    ought   most    seriously    to  know     that 

Richard is poorer than he was。 ̄ 

    ^Dear me� 院�said Mr Skimpole。 ^So am I�察�they tell me。 ̄ 

    ^And in very embarrassed circumstances。 ̄ 

    ^Parallel    case   exactly� 院   �said   Mr   Skimpole�察    �with   a  delighted 

countenance。 

    ^This at present naturally causes Ada much secret anxiety�察�and 

as I think she is less anxious when no claims are made upon her 

by visitors�察�and as Richard has one uneasiness always heavy on his 

mind�察  �it  has   occurred   to me   to  take   the   liberty   of   saying   that!if 

you would!not! ̄ I was coming to the point with great difficulty�察�

when he took me by both hands�察�and�察  �with  a   radiant  face   and  in 

the liveliest way�察�anticipated it。 

    ^Not go there�拭�Certainly not�察�my dear  Miss   Summerson�察  �most 

assuredly not。   Why should   I   go  there�拭 �When   I   go  anywhere�察  �I   go 

for pleasure。 I don¨t go anywhere for pain�察�because I was made for 

pleasure。   Pain   comes   to   me   when   it   wants   me。   Now   I   have   had 

very little pleasure at our dear Richard¨s�察�lately�察�and your practical 

sagacity demonstrates why。 Our young friends�察�losing the youthful 

poetry which was once so captivating in them�察�begin to think�察 �this 

is a man who wants pounds。¨ So I am�察�I always want pounds�察�not 

for   myself�察  �but   because     tradespeople     always    want   them     of   me。 

Next�察�our young friends begin to think�察�becoming mercenary�察 �this 

is the man who had pounds�察�who borrowed them�察� which I did。 I 

always   borrow   pounds。   So   our   young   friends�察  �reduced   to   prose

��which   is    much    to   be  regretted���察   �degenerate      in  their  power     of 

imparting pleasure to me。 Why should I go to see them therefore�拭�

Absurd� 院�

    Through the beaming smile with which he regarded me�察�as he 

reasoned      thus�察  �there    now    broke    forth   a  look   of  disinterested 

benevolence quite astonishing。 

    ^Besides�察院�he said�察�pursuing his argument�察�in his tone of light´ 

hearted conviction�察 �if I don¨t go anywhere for pain!which would 

be   a   perversion   of   the   intention   of   my   being�察  �and   a   monstrous 

thing to do!why should I go anywhere to be the cause of pain�拭�If 

I went to see our young friends in their present ill´regulated state 

of mind�察�I should give them pain。 The associations with me would 

be disagreeable。 They might say�察 �this is the man who had pounds�察�

and who can¨t pay pounds�察� which I can¨t�察�of course�察�nothing could 

be    more    out   of  the   question�    �Then�察   �kindness      requires    that   I 

shouldn¨t go near them!and I won¨t。 ̄ 

    He    finished    by  genially    kissing   my   hand�察   �and   thanking     me。 

Nothing      but   Miss   Summerson¨s        fine  tact�察 �he   said�察 �would     have 

found this out for him。 

    I was much disconcerted�察�but I reflected that if the main point 

were     gained�察    �it  mattered      little  how    strangely     he   perverted 

everything  leading  to  it。   I   had  determined   to  mention   something 

else�察�however�察�and I thought I was not to be put off in that。 

    ^Mr Skimpole�察院�said I�察 �I must take the liberty of saying�察�before 

I conclude my visit�察�that I was much surprised to learn�察�on the best 

authority�察�some little time ago�察�that you knew with whom that poor 

boy   left   Bleak   House�察  �and   that   you   accepted   a   present   on   that 

occasion。   I   have   not   mentioned   it   to   my   Guardian�察  �for   I   fear   it 

would   hurt   him   unnecessarily�察  �but   I   may   say   to   you   that   I   was

much surprised。 ̄ 

    ^No�拭    �Really     surprised�察    �my    dear    Miss    Summerson�拭院         �he 

returned�察�inquiringly�察�raising his pleasant eyebrows。 

    ^Greatly surprised。 ̄ 

   He   thought   about   it   for   a   little   while�察  �with  a   highly   agreeable 

and whimsical expression of face�察�then quite gave it up�察�and said�察�

in his most engaging manner�此�

    ^You know what a child I am。 Why surprised�拭院�

    I was reluctant to enter minutely into that question�察�but  as   he 

begged I would�察�for he was really curious to know�察�I   gave   him   to 

understand�察  �in   the   gentlest   words   I   could   use�察  �that   his   conduct 

seemed to involve a disregard of several moral obligations。 He was 

much amused and   interested   when   he   heard   this�察�and   said�察   �No�察�

really�拭院�with ingenuous simplicity。 ^You know I don¨t pretend   to 

be   responsible。   I never  could do  it。   Responsibility   is   a   thing   that 

has   always been above   me!or   below   me�察院  �said   Mr   Skimpole�察   �I 

don¨t even know which�察�but�察�as I understand the way in which my 

dear Miss Summerson ��always remarkable for her  practical   good 

sense and clearness�� puts this case�察�I should imagine it was chiefly 

a question of money�察�do you know�拭院�

    I incautiously gave a qualified assent to this。 

    ^Ah� �Then you see�察院�said Mr Skimpole�察�shaking his head�察 �I am 

hopeless of understanding it。 ̄ 

    I suggested�察�as   I   rose   to  go�察  �that  it  was not  right  to  betray  my 

Guardian¨s confidence for a bribe。
