she would find her teeth in her way�察�modelling that action of her 

face�察�as she has unconsciously modelled all its other  expressions�察�

on her pattern of sordid age。 Such is Judy。 

    And   her   twin   brother   couldn¨t   wind   up   a   top   for   his   life。   He 

knows no more  of  Jack   the  Giant  Killer�察  �or  of Sinbad   the  Sailor�察�

than he knows of the people in the stars。 He could as soon play at 

leapfrog�察�or at cricket�察�as   change   into  a cricket  or  a  frog  himself。 

But�察�he is so much the better off than his sister�察�that on his narrow 

world of fact an opening has dawned�察�into such broader regions as 

lie   within    the   ken   of   Mr   Guppy。     Hence�察    �his   admiration      and 

emulation of that shining enchanter。 

    Judy�察�with a gong´like clash  and clatter�察  �sets   one   of  the   sheet´ 

iron   tea´trays   on   the   table�察  �and   arranges   cups   and   saucers。   The 

bread she puts on in an iron basket�察�and the butter ��and not much 

of it�� in a small   pewter  plate。   Grandfather  Smallweed looks   hard

years ago。 ̄ 

    Mrs   Smallweed�察  �following   her   usual   instinct�察  �breaks   out   with 

^Fifteen   hundred  pound。   Fifteen   hundred   pound   in   a   black   box�察�

fifteen hundred pound locked up�察�fifteen hundred pound put away 

and hid� 院�Her worthy husband�察�setting aside his bread and butter�察�

immediately discharges the cushion at her�察�crushes her against the 

side   of   her   chair�察  �and   falls   back   in  his  own�察  �overpowered。        His 

appearance�察       �after   visiting    Mrs    Smallweed       with    one    of  these 

admonitions�察         �is   particularly       impressive       and      not    wholly 

prepossessing�此       �firstly�察 �because    the   exertion    generally     twists   his 

black     skull   cap   over   one    eye   and   gives    him   an   air   of  goblin 

rakishness�察     �secondly�察    �because      he  mutters     violent    imprecations 

against Mrs Smallweed�察�and thirdly�察�because the contrast between 

those powerful expressions and his powerless figure is suggestive 

of a baleful old malignant�察�who would be very wicked if he could。 

All   this�察  �however�察  �is   so   common   in   the   Smallweed   family   circle�察�

that    it  produces     no   impression。      The    old   gentleman      is  merely 

shaken�察  �and   has   his   internal   feathers   beaten   up�察  �the   cushion   is 

restored   to  its   usual place beside   him�察  �and   the   old   lady�察  �perhaps 

with   her   cap   adjusted�察  �and   perhaps   not�察  �is   planted   in   her   chair 

again�察�ready to be bowled down like a ninepin。 

    Some      time   elapses�察   �in  the   present     instance�察   �before    the   old 

gentleman   is   sufficiently   cool   to   resume   his   discourse�察  �and   even 

then he mixes it up with several edifying expletives  addressed   to 

the unconscious partner of his bosom�察�who holds communication 

with nothing on earth but trivets。 As thus�此�

yourself� �and your mother�察�who was a prudent woman as dry as a

    Judy�察   �not   interested    in  what   she   has   often   heard�察  �begins    to 

collect in a basin various tributary streams of tea from the bottoms 

of cups and saucers and from the bottom of the teapot�察�for the little 

charwoman¨s   evening  meal。   In   like   manner  she   gets   together�察  �in 

the iron bread´basket�察�as many outside fragments and worn´down 

heels    of  loaves    as  the  rigid   economy      of  the   house    has   left  in 

existence。 

    ^But   your   father   and   me   were   partners�察  �Bart�察院  �says       the  old 

gentleman�察 �and when I am gone�察�you and Judy will have all there 

is。 It¨s rare for you both�察�that  you  went  out  early  in   life!Judy  to 

the flower business�察�and you to the law。 You won¨t want to spend 

it。 You¨ll get your living without it�察�and put more to it。 When I am 

gone�察�Judy will go back to the flower business�察�and you¨ll stick to 

the law。 ̄ 

    One   might   infer�察   �from    Judy¨s    appearance�察     �that  her   business 

rather   lay   with   the   thorns   than   the   flowers�察  �but�察  �she   has�察  �in   her 

time�察�been apprenticed to the art and mystery of artificial flower´ 

making。   A   close   observer   might   perhaps   detect   both   in   her   eye 

and her brother¨s�察�when their venerable grandsire anticipates his 

being gone�察�some little impatience to know when he may be going�察�
