                                  Bleak House                                  484 



respectable old gentleman察with grey hair察wearing spectacles察and 

dressed in a black spencer and gaiters and a broad´brimmed hat察

and carrying a large gold´headed cane察addressed him。 

   ^I   ask   your   pardon察    my   good    friend察院  said   he察 but   is  this 

George¨s Shooting Gallery拭院

   ^It is察sir察院returned Mr George察glancing up at the great letters 

in which that inscription was painted on the whitewashed wall。 

   ^Oh   To   be   sure 院  said   the   old   gentleman察  following   his   eyes。 

^Thank you。 Have you rung the bell拭院

   ^My name is George察sir察and I have rung the bell。 ̄ 

   ^Oh察indeed拭院said the old gentleman。 ^Your name is George拭

Then   I   am   here   as   soon   as   you察  you   see。   You   came   for   me察  no 

doubt拭院

   ^No察sir。 You have the advantage of me。 ̄ 

   ^Oh察indeed拭院said the old gentleman。 ^Then it was your young 

man who came for me。 I am a physician察and was requested!five 

minutes ago!to come and visit a sick man察at George¨s Shooting 

Gallery。 ̄ 

   ^The muffled drums察院said Mr George察turning to Richard and 

me察and gravely shaking his head。 ^It¨s quite correct察sir。 Will you 

please to walk in。 ̄ 

   The   door   being   at   that   moment   opened察  by   a   very   singular´ 

looking little man in a green baize cap and apron察whose face察and 

hands察    and   dress察 were    blackened     all  over察 we  passed    along   a 

dreary passage into a large building with bare brick walls察where 

there were targets察and guns察and swords察and other things of that 

kind。   When   we   had   all   arrived   here察  the   physician   stopped察  and察

taking    off  his  hat察 appeared     to  vanish   by   magic察   and   to  leave 

another and quite a different man in his place。

    ^Now     look¨ee    here察  George察院    said   the  man     turning    quickly 

round     upon    him察  and   tapping     him   on   the  breast   with    a  large 

forefinger。   ^You  know  me察  and   I  know  you。   You¨re   a   man   of   the 

world察and I¨m a man of the world。 My name¨s Bucket察as you are 

aware察and I have got a peace´warrant against Gridley。 You have 

kept him out of the way a long time察and you have been artful in it察

and it does you credit。 ̄ 

    Mr George察looking hard at him察bit his lip and shook his head。 

    ^Now察George察院said the other察keeping close to him察 you¨re a 

sensible     man察  and    a  well´conducted      man察   that¨s  what    you   are察

beyond a doubt。   And mind   you察  I don¨t  talk   to  you  as a   common 

character察  because   you  have   served   your  country察  and   you   know 

that when duty calls we must obey。 Consequently察you¨re very far 

from wanting to give trouble。 If I required assistance察you¨d assist 

me察that¨s what you¨d do。 Phil Squod察don¨t you go a´sidling round 

the gallery like that察院the dirty little man was shuffling about with 

his   shoulder  against   the   wall察  and   his   eyes   on   the   intruder察  in   a 

manner that looked threatening察 because I know you察and I won¨t 

have it。 ̄ 

    ^Phil 院said Mr George。 

    ^Yes察Guv¨ner。 ̄ 

    ^Be quiet。 ̄ 

    The little man察with a low growl察stood still。 

    ^Ladies      and   gentlemen察院      said   Mr    Bucket察     you¨ll   excuse 

anything that may appear to be disagreeable in this察for my name¨s 

Inspector Bucket of  the   Detective察  and   I   have a   duty  to  perform。 

George察I know where my man is察because  I   was   on  the  roof  last 

night察and saw him through the skylight察and you along with him。 

He is in there察you know察院pointing察 that¨s where he is!on a sofy。

Now   I   must   see   my   man察  and   I   must   tell   my   man   to   consider 

himself in custody察but察you know me察and you know I don¨t want 

to take   any  uncomfortable measures。   You  give   me   your  word察  as 

from one man to another and an old soldier察mind you察likewise。察

that it¨s honourable between us two察and I¨ll accommodate you to 

the utmost of my power。 ̄ 

    ^I give it察院was   the   reply。   ^But  it  wasn¨t  handsome   in   you察  Mr 

Bucket。 ̄ 

    ^Gammon察  George   Not   handsome拭院  said   Mr   Bucket察  tapping 

him   on   his   broad   breast   again察  and   shaking   hands   with   him。   ^I 

don¨t say it wasn¨t handsome in you to keep my man so close察do I拭

Be   equally   good´tempered   to  me察  old   boy   Old   William   Tell  Old 

Shaw察the Life Guardsman Why察he¨s a model of the whole British 

Army in himself察ladies and gentlemen。 I¨d give a fifty´pun¨ note to 

be such a figure of a man。 ̄ 

    The affair being brought to this head察Mr George察after a little 

consideration察proposed to go in first to his comrade as he called 

him察taking Miss Flite   with  him。   Mr  Bucket  agreeing察  they  went 

away     to  the   further   end    of  the  gallery察  leaving    us  sitting   and 

standing      by   a  table   covered     with   guns。    Mr   Bucket     took   this 

opportunity   of   entering   into   a   light   conversation此  asking   me   if   I 

were afraid of firearms察as most young ladies were察asking Richard 

if he were a good shot察asking Phil Squod which he considered the 

best of those rifles察and what it might be worth first´hand察telling 

him察in return察that it was a pity he ever gave way to his temper察

for he was naturally so amiable that he might have been a young 

woman察and making himself generally agreeable。 

    After a time he followed us to the further end of the gallery察and 

Richard   and   I   were   going   quietly   away察  when   Mr   George   came

after us。 He said that if we had no objection to see his comrade察he 

would   take   a    visit   from  us   very   kindly。   The   words    had    hardly 

passed      his  lips察 when     the   bell   was    rung察  and    my    Guardian 

appeared察 on the chance察院he slightly observed察 of being able to 

do    any    little  thing   for   a  poor    fellow    involved     in  the   same 

misfortune as himself。 ̄ We all four went back together察and went 

into the place where Gridley was。 

    It  was    a   bare   room     partitioned     off  from    the   gallery   with 

unpainted wood。 As the screening was not more than eight or ten 

feet  high察  and   only  enclosed   the   sides察  not   the   top察  the   rafters   of 

the   high   gallery   roof   were   overhead察     and   the   skylight察  through 

which     Mr    Bucket     had   looked     down。    The    sun   was    low!near 

setting!and its light came redly in above察without descending to 

the   ground。   Upon   a   plain   canvas´covered   sofa   lay   the   man   from 

Shropshire!dressed            much     as  we    had   seen    him    last察 but   so 

changed察that at first I recognised no likeness in his colourless face 

to what I recollected。 

    He had been still writing in his hiding´place察and still dwelling 

on his grievances察hour after hour。 A table and some shelves were 

covered      with   manuscript      papers察   and    with   worn    pens察   and   a 

medley
