    ^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

    ^Well� 院�said my Guardian。 ^What is that to me�拭院�

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。 ̄

    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

          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

   ^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
