plainly and to the purpose�察�if it had been a case at law。 ̄
^Did you ever know English law�察�or equity either�察�plain and to
the purpose�拭院�said my Guardian。
^O fie� 院�said Mr Kenge。
At first he had not seemed to attach much importance to the
paper�察�but when he saw it he appeared more interested�察�and when
he had opened and read a little of it through his eyeglass�察 �he
became amazed。 ^Mr Jarndyce�察院�he said�察�looking off it�察 �you have
perused this�拭院�
^Not I� 院�returned my Guardian。
^But my dear sir�察院�said Mr Kenge�察 �it is a Will of later date than
any in the suit。 It appears to be all in the Testator¨s handwriting。 It
is duly executed and attested。 And even if intended to be
cancelled�察 �as might possibly be supposed to be denoted by these

marks of fire�察�it is not cancelled。 Here it is�察�a perfect instrument� 院�
^Well� 院�said my Guardian。 ^What is that to me�拭院�
^Mr Guppy� 院 �cried Mr Kenge�察 �raising his voice。!^I beg your
pardon�察�Mr Jarndyce。 ̄
^Sir。 ̄
^Mr Vholes of Symond¨s Inn。 My compliments。 Jarndyce and
Jarndyce。 Glad to speak with him。 ̄
Mr Guppy disappeared。
^You ask me what is this to you�察 �Mr Jarndyce。 If you had
perused this document�察�you would have seen that it reduces your
interest considerably�察�though still leaving it a very handsome one�察�
still leaving it a very handsome one�察院 �said Mr Kenge�察 �waving his
hand persuasively and blandly。 ^You would further have seen�察�
that the interests of Mr Richard Carstone�察�and of Miss Ada Clare�察�
now Mrs Richard Carstone�察�are very materially advanced by it。 ̄
^Kenge�察院 �said my Guardian�察 �if all the flourishing wealth that
the suit brought into this vile court of Chancery could fall to my
two young cousins�察�I should be well contented。 But do you ask me
to believe that any good is to come of Jarndyce and Jarndyce�拭院�
^O really�察�Mr Jarndyce� �Prejudice�察�prejudice。 My dear sir�察�this is
a very great country�察�a very great country。 Its system of equity is a
very great system�察�a very great system。 Really�察�really� 院�
My Guardian said no more�察 �and Mr Vholes arrived。 He was
modestly impressed by Mr Kenge¨s professional eminence。
^How do you do�察�Mr Vholes�拭�Will you be so good as to take a
chair here by me�察�and look over this paper�拭院�
Mr Vholes did as he was asked�察 �and seemed to read it every
word。 He was not excited by it�察�but he was not excited by anything。
When he had well examined it�察 �he retired with Mr Kenge into a

window�察�and shading his mouth with his black glove�察�spoke to him
at some length。 I was not surprised to observe Mr Kenge inclined
to dispute what he said before he had said much�察�for I knew that
no two people ever did agree about anything in Jarndyce and
Jarndyce。 But he seemed to get the better of Mr Kenge�察�too�察�in a
conversation that sounded as if it were almost composed of the
words�察 �Receiver´General�察院 �Accountant´General�察院 �Report�察院�
^Estate�察院�and ^Costs。 ̄ When they had finished�察�they came back to
Mr Kenge¨s table�察�and spoke aloud。
^Well� �But this is a very remarkable document�察 �Mr Vholes�拭院�
said Mr Kenge。
Mr Vholes said�察 �Very much so。 ̄
^And a very important document�察�Mr Vholes�拭院�said Mr Kenge。
Again Mr Vholes said�察 �Very much so。 ̄ ^And as you say�察 �Mr
Vholes�察�when the Cause is in the paper next Term�察�this document
will be an unexpected and interesting feature in it�察院 �said Mr
Kenge�察�looking loftily at my Guardian。
Mr Vholes was gratified�察 �as a smaller practitioner striving to
keep respectable�察 �to be confirmed in any opinion of his own by
such an authority。
^And when�察院�asked my Guardian�察 �rising after a pause�察 �during
which Mr Kenge had rattled his money�察�and Mr Vholes had picked
his pimples�察 �when is next Term�拭院�
^Next Term�察�Mr Jarndyce�察�will be next month�察院�said Mr Kenge。
^Of course we shall at once proceed to do what is necessary with
this document�察�and to collect the necessary evidence concerning it�察�
and of course you will receive our usual notification of the Cause
being in the paper。 ̄
^To which I shall pay�察�of course�察�my usual attention。 ̄

^Still bent�察 �my dear sir�察院 �said Mr Kenge�察 �showing us through
the the outer office to the door�察 �still bent�察�even with your enlarged
mind�察 �on echoing a popular prejudice�拭 �We are a prosperous
community�察�Mr Jarndyce�察�a very prosperous community。 We are a
great country�察�Mr Jarndyce�察�we are a very great country。 This is a
great system�察�Mr Jarndyce�察�and would you wish a great country to
have a little system�拭�Now�察�really�察�really� 院�
He said this at the stair´head�察�gently moving his right hand as if
it were a silver trowel�察 �with which to spread the cement of his
words on the structure of the system�察 �and consolidate it for a
thousand ages。

Steel And Iron
eorge¨s shooting´gallery is to let�察�and the stock is sold off�察�
and George himself is at Chesney Wold�察�attending on Sir
G
Leicester in his rides�察�and riding very near his bridle´rein�察�
because of the uncertain hand with which he guides his horse。 But
not today is George so occupied。 He is journeying today into the
iron country farther north�察�to look about him。
As he comes into the iron country farther north�察 �such fresh
green woods as those of Chesney Wold are left behind�察 �and coal´
pits and ashes�察 �high chimneys and red bricks�察 �blighted verdure�察�
scorching fires�察 �and a heavy never lightening cloud of smoke�察�
become the features of the scenery。 Among such objects rides the
trooper�察�looking about him�察�and always looking for something he
has come to find。
At last�察�on the black canal bridge of a busy town�察�with a clang of
iron in it�察�and more fires and more smoke than he has seen yet�察�the
trooper�察 �swart with the dust of the coal roads�察 �checks his horse�察�
and asks the workman does he know the name of Rouncewell
thereabouts�拭院�
^Why�察 �master�察院 �quoth the workman�察 �do I know my own
name�拭院�
^¨Tis so well known here�察�is it�察�comrade�拭院�asked the trooper。
^Rouncewells�拭�Ah� �you¨re right。 ̄
^And where might he be now�拭院�asks the trooper�察�with a glance
before him。

^The bank�察 �the factory�察 �or the house�拭院 �the workman wants to
know。
^Hum� �Rouncewells is so great apparently�察院 �mutters the
trooper�察�stroking his chin�察 �that I have as good as half a mind to go
back again。 Why I don¨t know which I want。 Should I find Mr
Rouncewell at the factory�察�do you think�拭院�
^¨Tain¨t easy to say where you¨d find him!at this time of the
day you might find either him or son there�察�if he¨s in town�察�but his
contracts take him away。 ̄
And which is the factory�拭 �Why�察 �he sees those chimneys!the
tallest ones� �Yes�察�he sees them。 Well� �let him keep his eye on those
chimneys�察�going on as straight as ever he can�察�and presently he¨ll
see ¨em down a turning on the left�察 �shut in by a great brick wall
which forms one side of the street。 That¨s Rouncewells。
The trooper thanks his informant�察�and rides slowly on�察�looking
about him。 He does not turn back�察 �but puts up his horse ��and is
much disposed to groom him too�� at a public house where some of
Rouncewell¨s hands are dining�察 �as the ostler tells him。 Some of
Rouncewell¨s hands have just knocked off for dinner time�察 �and
seem to be invading the whole town。 They are very sinewy and
strong�察�are Rouncewell¨s hands!a little sooty too。
He comes to a gateway in the brick wall�察 �looks in�察 �and sees a
great perplexity of iron lying about�察 �in every stage�察 �and in a vast
variety of shapes�察�in bars�察�in wedges�察�in sheets�察�in tanks�察�in boilers�察�
in axles�察 �in wheels�察 �in cogs�察 �in cranks�察 �in rails�察 �twisted and
wrenched into eccentric and perverse forms�察�as separate parts of
machinery�察�mountains of it broken up�察�and rusty in its age�察�distant
furnaces of it
