as was natural�察�perhaps�察�in the discussion of so unusual a subject。
Sir Leicester has looked at the fire�察�with the general expression of
the Dedlock on the staircase。 The story being told�察�he renews his
stately protest�察�saying�察�that as it is quite clear that no association in
my Lady¨s mind can possibly be traceable to this poor wretch
��unless he was a begging´letter writer���察�he trusts to hear no more
about a subject so far removed from my Lady¨s station。

her mantles and furs�察 �but they interest one for the moment� �Have

again�察 �next day!again�察 �for many days in succession。 Lady
Dedlock is always the same exhausted deity�察 �surrounded by
worshippers�察 �and terribly liable to be bored to death�察 �even while
presiding at her own shrine。 Mr Tulkinghorn is always the same
speechless repository of noble confidences�此�so oddly out of place�察�
and yet so perfectly at home。 They appear to take as little note of
one another�察 �as any two people�察 �enclosed within the same walls�察�
could。 But�察 �whether each evermore watches and suspects the
other�察 �evermore mistrustful of some great reservation�察 �whether

be taken unawares�察�what each would give to know how much the
other knows!all this is hidden�察�for the time�察�in their own hearts。

Esther¨s Narrative
e held many consultations about what Richard was to
Wbe�察�first�察�without Mr Jarndyce�察�as he had requested�察�and
afterwards with him�察�but it was a long time before we
seemed to make progress。 Richard said he was ready for anything。
When Mr Jarndyce doubted whether he might not already be too
old to enter the Navy�察 �Richard said he had thought of that�察 �and
perhaps he was。 When Mr Jarndyce asked him what he thought of
the Army�察�Richard said he had thought of that�察�too�察�and it wasn¨t a
bad idea。 When Mr Jarndyce advised him to try and decide within
himself�察 �whether his old preference for the sea was an ordinary
boyish inclination�察�or a strong impulse�察�Richard answered�察�well�察�he
really had tried very often�察�and he couldn¨t make out。
^How much of this indecision of character�察院 �Mr Jarndyce said
to me�察 �is chargeable on that incomprehensible heap of
uncertainty and procrastination on which he has been thrown
from his birth�察�I don¨t pretend to say�察�but that Chancery�察�among its
other sins�察 �is responsible for some of it�察 �I can plainly see。 It has
engendered or confirmed in him a habit of putting off!and
trusting to this�察�that�察�and the other chance�察�without knowing what
chance!and dismissing everything as unsettled�察 �uncertain�察 �and
confused。 The character of much older and steadier people may be
even changed by the circumstances surrounding them。 It would be
too much to expect that a boy¨s�察 �in its formation�察 �should be the
subject of such influences�察�and escape them。 ̄

I felt this to be true�察�though�察�if I may venture to mention what I
thought besides�察�I thought it much to be regretted that Richard¨s
education had not counteracted those influences�察 �or directed his
character。 He had been eight years at a public school�察 �and had
learnt�察�I understood�察�to make Latin Verses of several sorts�察�in the
most admirable manner。 But I never heard that it had been
anybody¨s business to find out what his natural bent was�察�or where
his failings lay�察�or to adapt any kind of knowledge to him。 He had
been adapted to the Verses�察�and had learnt the art of making them
to such perfection�察�that if he had remained at school until he was
of age�察 �I suppose he could only have gone on making them over
and over again�察�unless he had enlarged his education by forgetting
how to do it。 Still�察 �although I had no doubt that they were very
beautiful�察�and very improving�察�and very sufficient for a great many
purposes of life�察 �and always remembered all through life�察 �I did
doubt whether Richard would not have profited by some one
studying him a little�察�instead of his studying them quite so much。
To be sure�察�I know nothing of the subject�察�and do not even now
know whether the young gentlemen of classic Rome or Greece
made verses to the same extent!or whether the young gentlemen
of any country ever did。
^I haven¨t the least idea�察院 �said Richard musing�察 �what I had
better be。 Except that I am quite sure I don¨t want to go into the
Church�察�it¨s a toss´up。 ̄
^You have no inclination in Mr Kenge¨s way�拭院 �suggested Mr
Jarndyce。
^I don¨t know that�察�sir� 院�replied Richard。 ^I am fond of boating。
Articled clerks go a good deal on the water。 It¨s a capital
profession� 院�

^Surgeon! ̄ suggested Mr Jarndyce。
^That¨s the thing�察�sir� 院�cried Richard。
I doubt if he had ever once thought of it before。
^That¨s the thing�察 �sir�察院 �repeated Richard�察 �with the greatest
enthusiasm。 ^We have got it at last。 M。R。C。S。� 院�
He was not to be laughed out of it�察 �though he laughed at it
heartily。 He said he had chosen his profession�察 �and the more he
thought of it�察�the more he thought that his destiny was clear�察�the
art of healing was the art of all others for him。 Mistrusting that he
only came to this conclusion�察 �because�察 �having never had much
chance of finding out for himself what he was fitted for�察 �and
having never been guided to the discovery�察 �he was taken by the
newest idea�察 �and was glad to get rid of the trouble of
consideration�察�I wondered whether the Latin Verses often ended
in this�察�or whether Richard¨s was a solitary case。
Mr Jarndyce took great pains to talk with him�察�seriously�察�and to
put it to his good sense not to deceive himself in so important a
matter。 Richard was a little grave after these interviews�察 �but
invariably told Ada and me ^that it was all right�察院�and then began
to talk about something else。
^By Heaven� 院 �cried Mr Boythorn�察 �who interested himself
strongly in the subject!though I need not say that�察�for he could do
nothing weakly�察 �I rejoice to find a young gentleman of spirit and
gallantry devoting himself to that noble profession� �The more
spirit there is in it�察�the better for mankind�察�and the worse for those
mercenary task´masters and low tricksters who delight in putting
that illustrious art at a disadvantage in the world。 By all that is
base and despicable�察院 �cried Mr Boythorn�察 �the treatment of
Surgeons aboard ship is such�察�that I would submit the legs!both
