fated   house察  and   look   at   it。   Miss   Flite   has   been   bravely   rescued 

from her chamber察as if it were in flames察and accommodated with 

a bed at the Sol¨s Arms。 The Sol neither turns off its gas nor shuts 

it door察all night察for any kind of public excitement makes good for 

the   Sol察  and   causes   the   court   to   stand   in   need   of   comfort。   The

house has not done so much in the stomachic articles of clove察or 

in   brandy   and   water   warm察  since   the   Inquest。   The   moment   the 

potboy   heard   what   had   happened察  he   rolled   up   his   shirt´sleeves 

tight to the shoulders察and said察 There¨ll be a run upon us 院In the 

first   outcry察   Young     Piper    dashed     off  for  the   fire´engines察    and 

returned   in   triumph   at   a   jolting   gallop察  perched   up   aloft   on   the 

Phoenix察  and      holding   on     to   that   fabulous   creature    with   all  his 

might察  in   the   midst   of   helmets   and   torches。   One   helmet   remains 

behind察after careful investigation of all chinks and crannies察and 

slowly paces up and down before the house察in company with one 

of   the   two    policemen      who    have    been    likewise     left  in  charge 

thereof。 To this trio察everybody in the court察possessed of sixpence察

has an insatiate desire to exhibit hospitality in a liquid form。 

    Mr Weevle and his friend Mr Guppy are   within   the   bar  at  the 

Sol察and are worth anything to the Sol that the bar contains察if they 

will   only   stay   there。   ^This   is   not   a   time察院  says   Mr   Bogsby察   to 

haggle   about   money察院  though   he   looks   something   sharply   at   it 

over    the   counter察     give   your    orders察   you   two    gentlemen察     and 

you¨re welcome to whatever you put a name to。 ̄ 

    Thus entreated察the two gentlemen Mr Weevle especially put 

names      to  so   many     things察  that   in  course    of   time   they   find   it 

difficult   to   put   a   name   to   anything   quite   distinctly察  though   they 

still relate察to all newcomers察some version of the night they have 

had of it察and of what they said察and what they thought察and what 

they   saw。   Meanwhile察  one   or   other   of   the   policemen         often   flits 

about the door察and pushing it open a little way at the full length of 

his arm察looks in from outer gloom。 Not that he has any suspicions察

but that he may as well know what they are up to in there。 

    Thus察night pursues its leaden course察finding the court still out

of   bed    through     the   unwonted       hours察   still  treating   and    being 

treated察  still   conducting   itself   similarly   to   a   court   that   has   had   a 

little money left it unexpectedly。 Thus察night at length with slow´ 

retreating steps departs察and the lamplighter going his rounds察like 

an executioner to a despotic king察strikes off the little heads of fire 

that   have   aspired   to   lessen   the   darkness。   Thus察  the   day   cometh察

whether or no。 

    And   the   day may  discern察  even   with   its   dim   London   eye察  that 

the court has been up all night。 Over and above the faces that have 

fallen   drowsily   on   tables察  and   the   heels   that   lie   prone   on   hard 

floors   instead   of  beds察  the   brick   and   mortar   physiognomy   of   the 

very     court     itself   looks     worn      and    jaded。     And     now      the 

neighbourhood         waking   up察  and   beginning   to   hear       of  what   has 

happened察comes streaming in察half dressed察to ask questions察and 

the   two   policemen   and   the   helmet   who   are   far   less   impressible 

externally than the court have enough to do to keep the door。 

    ^Good      gracious察   gentlemen 院      says   Mr   Snagsby察     coming     up。 

^What¨s this I hear 院

    ^Why察it¨s true察院returns one of  the   policemen。   ^That¨s   what  it 

is。 Now move on here察come 院

    ^Why察good gracious察gentlemen察院says Mr Snagsby察somewhat 

promptly backed away察 I   was   at  this door  last  night  betwixt  ten 

and     eleven    o¨clock察  in  conversation      with    the  young     man     who 

lodges here。 ̄

Mr   Weevle   languishing   over   tea   and   toast察  with   a   considerable 

expression       on   him    of  exhausted      excitement察     and    exhausted 

tobacco´smoke。

words ^my little woman。 ̄ For察to see that injured female walk into

    The devoted Mr Snagsby cannot bear this treatment。 He takes 

Mrs Snagsby by the hand察and leads her aside to an adjacent cask。

trouble察   and    says察  This    is  a  dreadful   mystery察    my   love 院  still 

fearfully disconcerted by Mrs Snagsby¨s eye。
