hands�察�one after another!at least�察�they did!and I did�察�and so he
put his lips to Ada¨s hand!and to mine�察 �and so he went away
upon his long�察�long voyage� �
I was very busy indeed�察 �all day�察�and wrote directions home to
the servants�察 �and wrote notes for my Guardian�察 �and dusted his
books and papers�察�and jingled my housekeeping keys a good deal�察�
one way and another。 I was still busy between the lights�察 �singing
and working by the window�察�when who should come in but Caddy�察�
whom I had no expectation of seeing� �
^Why�察�Caddy�察�my dear�察院�said I�察 �what beautiful flowers� 院�
She had such an exquisite little nosegay in her hand。
^Indeed�察 �I think so�察 �Esther�察院 �replied Caddy。 ^They are the
loveliest I ever saw。 ̄
^Prince�察�my dear�拭院�said I�察�in a whisper。
^No�察院�answered Caddy�察�shaking her head�察�and holding them to
me to smell。 ^Not Prince。 ̄
^Well�察�to be sure�察�Caddy� 院�said I。 ^You must have two lovers� 院�
^What�拭�Do they look like that sort of thing�拭院�said Caddy。

^Do they look like that sort of thing�拭院�I repeated�察�pinching her
cheek。
Caddy only laughed in return�察�and telling me that she had come
for half´an´hour�察�at the expiration of which time Prince would be
waiting for her at the corner�察�sat chatting with me and Ada in the
window�此 �every now and then handing me the flowers again�察 �or
trying how they looked against my hair。 At last�察 �when she was
going�察�she took me into my room and put them in my dress。
^For me�拭院�said I�察�surprised。
^For you�察院�said Caddy�察 �with a kiss。 ^They were left behind by
Somebody。 ̄
^Left behind�拭院�
^At poor Miss Flite¨s�察院 �said Caddy。 ^Somebody who has been
very good to her�察�was hurrying away an hour ago�察 �to join a ship�察�
and left these flowers behind。 No�察�no� �Don¨t take them out。 Let the
pretty little things lie here� 院 �said Caddy�察 �adjusting them with a
careful hand�察 �because I was present myself�察 �and I shouldn¨t
wonder if Somebody left them on purpose� 院�
^Do they look like that sort of thing�拭院 �said Ada�察 �coming
laughingly behind me�察�and clasping me merrily round the waist。
^O�察�yes�察�indeed they do�察�Dame Durden� �They look very�察�very like
that sort of thing。 O�察�very like it indeed�察�my dear� 院�

t was not so easy as it had appeared at first�察 �to arrange for
Richard¨s making a trial of Mr Kenge¨s office。 Richard himself
I
was the chief impediment。 As soon as he had it in his power to
leave Mr Badger at any moment�察 �he began to doubt whether he
wanted to leave him at all。 He didn¨t know�察 �he said�察 �really。 It
wasn¨t a bad profession�察 �he couldn¨t assert that he disliked it�察�
perhaps he liked it as well as he liked any other!suppose he gave
it one more chance� �Upon that�察 �he shut himself up�察 �for a few
weeks�察�with some books and some bones�察�and seemed to acquire a
considerable fund of information�察�with great rapidity。 His fervour�察�
after lasting about a month�察�began to cool�察�and when it was quite
cooled�察 �began to grow warm again。 His vacillations between law
and medicine lasted so long�察 �that Midsummer arrived before he
finally separated from Mr Badger�察�and entered on an experimental
course of Messrs。 Kenge and Carboy。 For all his waywardness�察�he
took great credit to himself as being determined to be in earnest
^this time。 ̄ And he was so good´natured throughout�察�and in such
high spirits�察�and so fond of Ada�察�that it was very difficult indeed to
be otherwise than pleased with him。
^As to Mr Jarndyce�察院�who I may mention�察�found the wind much
given�察�during this period�察�to stick in the east�察 �As to Mr Jarndyce�察院�
Richard would say to me�察 �he is the finest fellow in the world�察�
Esther� �I must be particularly careful�察 �if it were only for his
satisfaction�察�to take myself well to task�察�and have a regular wind´

up of this business now。 ̄
The idea of his taking himself well to task�察 �with that laughing
face and heedless manner�察�and with a fancy that everything could
catch and nothing could hold�察 �was ludicrously anomalous。
However�察�he told us between´whiles�察�that he was doing it to such
an extent�察�that he wondered his hair didn¨t turn grey。 His regular
wind´up of the business was ��as I have said���察 �that he went to Mr
Kenge¨s about Midsummer�察�to try how he liked it。
All this time he was�察 �in money affairs�察 �what I have described
him in a former illustration�此�generous�察�profuse�察�wildly careless�察�but
fully persuaded that he was rather calculating and prudent。 I
happened to say to Ada�察 �in his presence�察 �half jestingly�察 �half
seriously�察 �about the time of his going to Mr Kenge¨s�察 �that he
needed to have Fortunatus¨s purse�察 �he made so light of money�察�
which he answered in this way�此�
^My jewel of a dear cousin�察�you hear this old woman� �Why does
she say that�拭 �Because I gave eight pounds odd ��or whatever it
was�� for a certain neat waistcoat and buttons a few days ago。 Now�察�
if I had stayed at Badger¨s�察 �I should have been obliged to spend
twelve pounds at a blow�察�for some heart´breaking lecture´fees。 So I
make four pounds!in a lump!by the transaction� 院�
It was a question much discussed between him and my
Guardian what arrangements should be made for his living in
London�察�while he experimented on the law�察�for�察�we had long since
gone back to Bleak House�察 �and it was too far off to admit of his
coming there oftener than once a week。 My Guardian told me that
if Richard were to settle down at Mr Kenge¨s he would take some
apartments or chambers�察 �where we�察 �too�察 �could occasionally stay
for a few days at a time�察 �but little woman�察院�he added�察�rubbing his
Charles Dickens ElecBook Classics

head very significantly�察 �he hasn¨t settled down there yet� 院 �The
discussions ended in our hiring for him�察�by the month�察�a neat little
furnished lodging in a quiet old house near Queen Square。 He
immediately began to spend all the money he had�察 �in buying the
oddest little ornaments and luxuries for this lodging�察�and as often
as Ada and I dissuaded him from making any purchase that he
had in contemplation which was particularly unnecessary and
expensive�察 �he took credit for what it would have cost�察 �and made
out that to spend anything less on something else was to save the
difference。
While these affairs were in abeyance�察�our visit to Mr Boythorn¨s
was postponed。 At length�察�Richard having taken possession of his
lodging�察 �there was nothing to prevent our departure。 He could
have gone with us at that time of the year�察�very well�察�but he was in
the full novelty of his new position�察 �and was making most
energetic attempts to unravel the mysteries of the fatal suit。
Consequently we went without him�察�and my darling was delighted
to praise him for being so busy。
We made a pleasant journey down into Lincolnshire by the
coach�察 �and had an entertaining companion in Mr Skimpole。 His
furniture had been all cleared off�察�it appeared�察�by the person who
took possession of it on his blue´eyed daughter¨s birthday�察�but�察�he
seemed quite relieved to think that it was gone。 Chairs and tables�察�
he said�察 �were wearisome objects�察 �they were monotonous ideas�察�
they had no variety of expression�察 �they looked you out of
countenance�察 �and you looked them out of countenance。 How
pleasant�察�then�察�to be bound to no particular chairs and tables�察�but
to sport like a butterfly among all the furniture on hire�察�and to flit
from rosewood to mahogany�察�and from mahogany to walnut�察�and

from this shape to that�察�as the humour took one� �
^The oddity of the thing is�察院 �said Mr Skimpole�察 �with a
quickened sense of the ludicrous�察 �that my chairs and tables were
not paid for�察 �and yet my landlord walks off with them as
composedly as possible。 Now�察�that seems
