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。

                                Chapter 18 



                              Lady Dedlock 



     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

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

composedly as possible。 Now�察�that seems
