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。 ̄
^Did you ever know
