                                  Bleak House                                 1152 



of    cheerful     raillery    which     Mr    Smallweed       by    no    means 

reciprocated�察 �and so you chance to find�察�you know�察�a paper with 

the signature of Jarndyce to it。 Don¨t you�拭院�

   Mr     Smallweed       glanced     with   a   troubled     eye   at   us�察 �and 

grudgingly nodded assent。 

    ^And    coming     to   look  at  the  paper�察  �at  your   full  leisure  and 

convenience!all   in   good   time�察  �for   you¨re   not   curious   to   read   it�察�

and why should you be� �what do you find it to be but a Will�察�you 

see。 That¨s the drollery of it�察院�said Mr Bucket�察�with the same lively 

air of recalling a joke for the enjoyment of Mr Smallweed�察�who still 

had the same crestfallen appearance of not enjoying it at all�察 �what 

do you find it to be but a Will�拭院�

    ^I  don¨t   know   that   it¨s  good   as   a  will�察 �or   as  anything  else�察院�

snarled Smallweed。 

   Mr Bucket eyed the old man for a moment!he had slipped and 

shrunk down in his chair into a mere bundle!as if he were much 

disposed to pounce upon him�察�nevertheless�察�he continued to bend 

over him with the same agreeable air�察�keeping the corner of one of 

his eyes upon us。 

    ^Notwithstanding        which�察院   �said  Mr    Bucket�察    �you   get  a  little 

doubtful and uncomfortable in your mind about it�察�having a   very 

tender mind of your own。 ̄ 

    ^Eh�拭   �What    do   you   say   I  have   got  of  my   own�拭院    �asked   Mr 

Smallweed�察�with his hand to his ear。 

    ^A very tender mind。 ̄ 

    ^Ho� �Well�察�go on�察院�said Mr Smallweed。 

    ^And     as  you¨ve    heard   a   good   deal   mentioned      regarding     a 

celebrated Chancery will case�察�of the same name�察�and as you know 

what   a   card   Krook   was   for   buying   all   manner   of   old   pieces   of

furniter�察�and books�察�and papers�察�and what not�察�and never liking to 

part   with   ¨em�察  �and   always   a   going   to   teach   himself   to   read�察  �you 

begin   to   think!and   you       never   was   more      correct   in  your   born 

days!¨Ecod�察       �if  I  don¨t  look   about    me�察   �I  may   get   into   trouble 

regarding this will。¨ ̄ 

    ^Now�察     �mind    how     you   put   it�察 �Bucket�察院    �cried   the   old   man 

anxiously�察     �with   his  hand    at  his   ear。  ^Speak     up�察  �none    of  your 

brimstone tricks。 Pick me up�察�I want to hear better。 O Lord�察�I am 

shaken to bits� 院�

    Mr Bucket had certainly picked him up at a dart。 However�察�as 

soon as he could be heard through Mr Smallweed¨s coughing�察�and 

his vicious ejaculations of ^O my bones� �O dear� �I¨ve no breath in 

my body� �I¨m worse than the chattering�察�clattering�察�brimstone pig 

at home� 院�Mr Bucket proceeded�察�in the same convivial manner as 

before。 

    ^So�察   �as  I  happen     to  be   in  the   habit   of  coming     about    your 

premises�察�you take me into your confidence�察�don¨t you�拭院�

    I think it would be impossible to make an admission with more 

ill´will�察�and a worse grace�察�than Mr Smallweed displayed when he 

admitted   this�察  �rendering it  perfectly  evident   that   Mr   Bucket   was 

the   very   last   person    he   would    have   thought   of   taking     into  his 

confidence�察�if he could by any possibility have kept him out of it。 

    ^And   I   go   into   the   business   with   you�察�very   pleasant   we   are 

over it�察�and I confirm you in your well´founded fears�察�that you will´ 

get´yourself´in´to´a´most precious line if  you  don¨t  come   out  with 

that   there   will�察院  �said   Mr   Bucket�察  �emphatically�察   �and   accordingly 

you arrange with me   that  it  shall be delivered   up   to  this   present 

Mr Jarndyce�察�on no  conditions。 If  it  should   prove   to  be   valuable�察�

you trusting yourself to him for your reward�察�that¨s about where it

is�察�ain¨t it�拭院�

    ^That¨s   what   was   agreed�察院  �Mr   Smallweed   assented�察  �with   the 

same bad grace。 

    ^In    consequence       of  which�察院    �said   Mr   Bucket�察    �dismissing     his 

agreeable manner all at once�察�and becoming strictly business´like�察�

^you¨ve   got   that   will   upon   your   person   at   present   time�察  �and   the 

only thing that remains for you to do is�察�just to Out with it� 院�

    Having   given   us   one   glance   out   of   the   watching   corner   of   his 

eye�察   �and    having    given    his  nose    one    triumphant      rub    with   his 

forefinger�察     �Mr    Bucket     stood     with   his    eyes   fastened      on   his 

confidential friend�察�and his hand stretched forth ready to take the 

paper and present it to my Guardian。 It was not produced without 

much      reluctance�察     �and    many     declarations      on   the   part    of  Mr 

Smallweed that he was a poor industrious man�察�and that he left it 

to Mr Jarndyce¨s honour not to let him lose by his honesty。 Little 

by    little�察 �he  very    slowly    took   from    a  breast´pocket       a  stained 

discoloured paper�察�which was much singed upon the outside�察�and 

a little burnt at the edges�察�as if it had long ago been thrown upon a 

fire�察  �and   hastily   snatched   off   again。   Mr   Bucket   lost   no   time     in 

transferring this paper�察�with the dexterity of a conjuror�察�from Mr 

Smallweed        to   Mr   Jarndyce。   As    he   gave   it   to   my   Guardian�察   �he 

whispered behind his fingers�此� 

    ^Hadn¨t settled how to make their market of it。 Quarrelled and 

hinted     about     it。  I  laid  out   twenty    pound      upon    it。  First�察  �the 

avaricious      grandchildren        split  upon     him�察  �on   account     of   their 

objections  to  his   living  so  unreasonably long�察�and  then   they  split 

on one another。 Lord� �there ain¨t one  of  the  family  that  wouldn¨t 

sell the other  for  a   pound   or  two�察  �except  the  old   lady!and   she¨s 

only    out   of  it  because    she¨s   too   weak    in   her   mind    to  drive   a

bargain。 ̄ 

    ^Mr Bucket�察院�said my Guardian aloud�察 �whatever the worth of 

this paper may be to any one�察�my obligations are great to you�察�and 

if   it   be   of   any   worth�察  �I   hold   myself   bound   to   see   Mr   Smallweed 

remunerated accordingly。 ̄ 

    ^Not according to your  merits�察  �you  know�察院  �said   Mr  Bucket�察  �in 

friendly   explanation       to   Mr   Smallweed�察   �Don¨t   you   be   afraid     of 

that。 According to its value。 ̄ 

    ^That  is   what  I   mean�察院  �said  my  Guardian。   ^You   may   observe�察�

Mr Bucket�察�that I abstain from examining this paper myself。 The 

plain   truth   is�察  �I   have   forsworn   and   abjured   the   whole   business 

these many years�察�and my soul is sick of it。 But Miss Summerson 

and I will immediately place the paper in the hands of my solicitor 

in the cause�察�and its existence shall be made known without delay 

to all other parties interested。 ̄ 

    ^Mr    Jarndyce      can¨t   say   fairer  than    that�察  �you   understand�察院�

observed Mr Bucket to his fellow visitor。 ^And it being now made 

clear to you that nobody¨s a´going to be wronged!which must be 

a great relief to your mind!we may proceed with the ceremony of 

chairing you home again。 ̄ 

    He   unbolted   the   door�察  �called   in   the   bearers�察  �wished   us   good 

morning�察�and with a look full of meaning�察�and a crook of his finger 

at parting�察�went his way。 

    We went our way too�察�which was to Lincoln¨s Inn�察�as quickly as 

possible。 Mr Kenge was disengaged�察�and we found him at his table 

in   his   dusty   room�察  �with   the   inexpressive´looking   books�察  �and   the 

piles of papers。 Chairs having been placed for us by Mr Guppy�察�Mr 

Kenge      expressed     the   surprise    and    gratification    he   felt  at  the 

unusual   sight   of   Mr   Jarndyce   in   his   office。   He   turned   over   his

double   eyeglass   as   he   spoke�察  �and   was   more   Conversation   Kenge 

than ever。 

    ^I   hope�察院  �said   Mr   Kenge�察    �that   the  genial   influence    of  Miss 

Summerson�察院�he bowed to me�察 �may have induced Mr Jarndyce�察院�

he bowed to him�察 �to forego some little of his animosity towards a 

Cause   and   towards   a   Court   which   are!shall   I   say�察  �which   take 

their place in the stately vista of the pillars of our profession�拭院�

    ^I  am   inclined    to   think�察院 �returned     my   Guardian�察     �that   Miss 

Summerson has seen too much of the effects of the Court and the 

Cause to exert any influence in their favour。 Nevertheless�察�they are 

a part of the occasion of my being here。 Mr Kenge�察�before I lay this 

paper on your desk and have done with it�察�let me tell   you  how  it 

has come into my hands。 ̄ 

    He did so shortly and distinctly。 

    ^It   could   not�察 �sir�察院 �said  Mr    Kenge�察    �have    been   stated   more 

plainly and to the purpose�察�if it had been a case at law。 ̄
