we   observed   the   favourable   omen         that   there   was    not   the  least 

indication of any change in the wind。 

    ^But it¨s the inside of the man�察�the warm heart of the man�察�the 

passion   of   the   man�察  �the   fresh   blood   of   the   man�察  �Rick!and   Ada�察�

and little Cobweb too�察�for you are all interested in a visitor� �that I 

speak of�察院�he pursued。 ^His language is as sounding as his voice。

He is always in extremes�察�perpetually in the superlative degree。 In 

his condemnation he is all ferocity�察�You might suppose him to be 

an Ogre�察�from what he says�察�and I believe he has the reputation of 

one     with    some     people。    There�     �I  tell   you    no   more     of   him 

beforehand。 You must not be surprised to see him take me under 

his protection�察�for he has never forgotten that I was a low boy at 

school�察  �and  that  our  friendship   began in  his knocking   two   of   my 

head   tyrant¨s   teeth   out   ��he   says   six��   before   breakfast。   Boythorn 

and his man�察院�to me�察 �will be here this afternoon�察�my dear。 ̄ 

    I took care that  the   necessary  preparations   were   made   for  Mr 

Boythorn¨s   reception�察  �and   we   looked   forward   to   his   arrival   with 

some curiosity。 The afternoon wore away�察�however�察�and he did not 

appear。 The dinner´hour arrived�察�and still he did not appear。 The 

dinner was put back an hour�察�and we were sitting  round   the   fire 

with   no   light   but   the   blaze�察  �when   the   hall´door   suddenly   burst 

open�察�and   the   hall   resounded   with  these   words�察  �uttered   with   the 

greatest vehemence and in a stentorian tone�此�

    ^We   have   been   misdirected�察  �Jarndyce�察  �by   a   most   abandoned 

ruffian�察�who told us  to  take   the   turning  to  the   right  instead   of  to 

the   left。   He   is   the   most   intolerable   scoundrel   on   the   face   of   the 

earth。 His father must have been a most consummate villain�察�ever 

to have had such a son。 I would have that fellow shot without the 

least remorse� 院�

    ^Did he do it on purpose�拭院�Mr Jarndyce inquired。 

    ^I have not the slightest doubt that the scoundrel has passed his 

whole   existence   in   misdirecting   travellers� 院  �returned            the  other。 

^By     my   soul�察  �I  thought    him    the  worst´looking       dog   I  had   ever 

beheld�察  �when   he   was   telling  me   to   take   the   turning  to   the   right。 

And yet I stood before that fellow face to face�察�and didn¨t knock his

brains out� 院�

    ^Teeth you mean�拭院�said Mr Jarndyce。 

    ^Ha�察  �ha�察  �ha� 院  �laughed   Mr   Lawrence   Boythorn�察  �really   making 

the whole house vibrate。 ^What�察�you have not forgotten it yet� �Ha�察�

ha�察  �ha� �And   that   was   another   most   consummate   vagabond�   �By 

my soul�察�the countenance of that fellow�察�when he was a boy�察�was 

the blackest image of perfidy�察  �cowardice�察�and   cruelty  ever  set  up 

as a scarecrow in a field of scoundrels。 If I were to meet that most 

unparalleled despot in the streets tomorrow�察�I would fell him like a 

rotten tree� 院�

    ^I have no doubt of it�察院�said Mr Jarndyce。 ^Now�察�will you come 

upstairs�拭院�

    ^By   my   soul�察  �Jarndyce�察院    �returned   his    guest�察  �who   seemed     to 

refer to his watch�察 �if you had been married�察�I would have turned 

back at the garden gate�察�and gone away to the remotest summits of 

the    Himalaya     Mountains�察     �sooner    than   I  would    have   presented 

myself at this unseasonable hour。 ̄ 

    ^Not quite so far�察�I hope�拭院�said Mr Jarndyce。 

    ^By my life and honour�察�yes� 院�cried the   visitor。   ^I   wouldn¨t  be 

guilty   of   the   audacious   insolence   of   keeping   a   lady   of   the   house 

waiting     all  this   time�察  �for  any    earthly   consideration。      I  would 

infinitely rather destroy myself!infinitely rather� 院�

    Talking thus�察�they went upstairs�察�and presently we heard him in 

his   bedroom   thundering   ^Ha�察  �ha�察  �ha� 院  �and   again�察   �Ha�察  �ha�察  �ha� 院�

until   the  flattest  echo  in   the neighbourhood   seemed   to   catch   the 

contagion�察�and to laugh as enjoyingly as he did�察�or as we did when 

we heard him laugh。 

   We all conceived a prepossession in his favour�察�for there was a 

sterling quality in his laugh�察�and in his vigorous healthy voice�察�and

in the roundness and fulness with which he uttered every word he 

spoke�察�and in the very fury of his superlatives�察�which seemed to go 

off   like  blank    cannons     and   hurt   nothing。    But    we   were    hardly 

prepared   to   have   it   so   confirmed   by   his   appearance�察      �when    Mr 

Jarndyce   presented   him。   He   was   not   only   a   very   handsome   old 

gentleman!upright and stalwart as he had been described to us! 

with a massive grey head�察�a fine composure of face when silent�察�a 

figure    that   might    have   become     corpulent     but   for  his  being    so 

continually in earnest that he gave it no rest�察�and a chin that might 

have subsided into a double chin but for the vehement  emphasis 

in   which   it   was   constantly   required   to   assist�察  �but   he   was   such   a 

true gentleman in his manner�察�so chivalrously polite�察�his face was 

lighted   by   a   smile   of   so   much   sweetness   and   tenderness�察  �and   it 

seemed so plain that he had nothing to hide�察�but showed himself 

exactly   as   he   was!incapable   ��as   Richard   said��   of   anything   on   a 

limited scale�察�and firing away with those blank great guns�察�because 

he   carried   no   small   arms   whatever!that   really   I   could   not   help 

looking at him with equal pleasure as he sat at dinner�察�whether he 

smilingly conversed with Ada and me�察�or was led by Mr Jarndyce 

into some great volley of superlatives�察�or threw up his head like a 

bloodhound�察�and gave out that tremendous Ha�察�ha�察�ha� �

    ^You   have   brought   your   bird   with   you�察  �I   suppose�拭院  �said   Mr 

Jarndyce。 

    ^By Heaven�察�he is the most astonishing bird in Europe� 院�replied 

the other。 ^He is the most wonderful creature� �I wouldn¨t take ten 

thousand guineas for that bird。 I have left an annuity for his sole 

support�察     �in  case   he   should     outlive   me。    He   is�察 �in  sense    and 

attachment�察�a phenomenon。 And his father before him was one of 

the most astonishing birds that ever lived� 院�

    The subject of this laudation was a very little canary�察�who was 

so tame that he was brought down by Mr Boythorn¨s man�察�on his 

forefinger�察    �and�察   �after  taking    a   gentle   flight   round    the   room�察�

alighted     on   his   master¨s   head。   To   hear   Mr   Boythorn      presently 

expressing   the   most   implacable   and   passionate   sentiments   with 

this fragile mite of a creature quietly perched on his forehead�察�was 

to have a good illustration of his character�察�I thought。 

    ^By my soul�察�Jarndyce�察院�he said�察�very gently holding up a bit of 

bread   to  the   canary  to  peck   at�察   �if   I   were   in   your   place�察  �I   would 

seize every Master in Chancery by the throat tomorrow morning�察�

and shake him until   his money  rolled   out  of  his   pockets�察 �and   his 

bones     rattled    in  his   skin。  I  would     have    a  settlement     out   of 

somebody�察�by fair means or by foul。 If you would empower me to 

do it�察�I would do it for you with the greatest satisfaction� 院。�All this 

time   the   very  small   canary  was   eating  out  of  his   hand。��   ^I   thank 

you�察�Lawrence�察�but the suit is hardly at such a point at present�察院�

returned       Mr   Jarndyce�察     �laughing�察     �that    it  would     be   greatly 

advanced�察�even by the legal process of shaking the Bench and the 

whole Bar。 ̄ 

    ^There never was such an infernal cauldron as that Chancery�察�

on the face of the earth� 院�said Mr Boythorn。 ^Nothing but a mine 

below it on a busy day in term time�察�with all its records�察�rules�察�and 

precedents   collected   in   it�察  �and   every   functionary   belonging   to   it 

also�察   �high   and   low�察  �upward      and   downward�察      �from    its  son   the 

Accountant´General to its father the Devil�察�and the whole blown to 

atoms   with   ten   thousand   hundred´weight   of   gunpowder�察  �would 

reform it in the least� 院�

    It   was   impossible   not   to   laugh   at   the  energetic    gravity   with 

which he recommended this strong measure of reform。 When we

laughed�察  �he   threw   up   his   head�察  �and   shook   his   broad   chest�察  �and 

again the whole country seemed to echo to his ha�察  �ha�察  �ha�  �It  had 

not the least effect in disturbing the bird�察�whose sense of security 

was complete�察�and who hopped about the table with its quick head 

now on this side and now on that�察�turning its bright sudden eye on 

its master�察�as if he were no more than another bird。
