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。 ̄
^Indeed拭院returns the policeman。 ^You will find the young man
next door察then。 Now move on here察some of you。 ̄
^Not hurt察I hope拭院says Mr Snagsby。
^Hurt拭No。 What¨s to hurt him 院

question察in his troubled mind察repairs to the Sol¨s Arms察and finds
Mr Weevle languishing over tea and toast察 with a considerable
expression on him of exhausted excitement察 and exhausted
tobacco´smoke。
^And Mr Guppy likewise 院 quoth Mr Snagsby。 ^Dear察 dear察
dear What a fate there seems in all this And my lit! ̄ Mr
Snagsby¨s power of speech deserts him in the formation of the
words ^my little woman。 ̄ For察to see that injured female walk into
the Sol¨s Arms at that hour of the morning and stand before the
beer´engine察with her eyes fixed upon him like an accusing spirit察
strikes him dumb。
^My dear察院says Mr Snagsby察when his tongue is loosened察 will

^No察院says Mrs Snagsby。
^My love察you know these two gentlemen拭院
^Yes 院says Mrs Snagsby察and in a rigid manner acknowledges
their presence察still fixing Mr Snagsby with her eye。
The devoted Mr Snagsby cannot bear this treatment。 He takes
Mrs Snagsby by the hand察and leads her aside to an adjacent cask。
^My little woman察 why do you look at me in that way拭 Pray
don¨t do it。 ̄
^I can¨t help my look察院 says Mrs Snagsby察 and if I could I
wouldn¨t。 ̄
Mr Snagsby with his cough of meekness察 rejoins察^Wouldn¨t
you really察 my dear拭院 and meditates。 Then coughs his cough of
trouble察 and says察 This is a dreadful mystery察 my love 院 still
fearfully disconcerted by Mrs Snagsby¨s eye。
^It is察院 returns Mrs Snagsby察 shaking her head察 a dreadful

^My little woman察院 urges Mr Snagsby察 in a piteous manner察
^don¨t for goodness sake察speak to me with that bitter expression察
and look at me in that searching way I beg and entreat of you not
to do it。 Good lord察 you don¨t suppose that I would go
spontaneously combusting any person察my dear拭院
^I can¨t say察院returns Mrs Snagsby。
On a hasty review of his unfortunate position察 Mr Snagsby
^can¨t say察院 either。 He is not prepared positively to deny that he
may have had something to do with it。 He has had something!he
don¨t know what!to do with so much in this connection that is
mysterious察that it i
