you察院returned Caddy。 

    To   the   Old   Street   Road   we   went察  and   there   inquired   at   Mrs 

Guppy¨s      residence     for   Mrs   Guppy。     Mrs    Guppy察    occupying      the

                                   Bleak House                                     746 



parlours察  and   having   indeed   been   visibly   in   danger   of   cracking 

herself like a nut in the front parlour door by peeping out before 

she was   asked   for察  immediately  presented   herself察and   requested 

us to walk in。 She was an old lady in a large cap察with rather a red 

nose   and  rather  an   unsteady  eye察  but   smiling  all   over。   Her   close 

little sitting´room was prepared for a visit察and there was a portrait 

of   her   son   in   it察  which   I   had   almost   written   here察  was   more   like 

than   life察  it   insisted   upon   him   with   such   obstinacy察  and   was   so 

determined not to let him off。 

    Not only was the portrait there察but we found the original there 

too。 He was dressed in a great many colours察and was discovered 

at a table reading law´papers with his forefinger to his forehead。 

    ^Miss   Summerson察院  said   Mr   Guppy察  rising察   this   is   indeed   an 

Oasis。 Mother察will you be so good as to put a chair for the other 

lady察and get out of the gangway。 ̄ 

    Mrs Guppy察whose incessant smiling gave her quite a waggish 

appearance察  did   as   her   son   requested察  and   then   sat   down   in   a 

corner察    holding     her   pocket´handkerchief          to  her   chest察   like  a 

fomentation察with both hands。 

    I presented Caddy察and Mr Guppy said that any friend of mine 

was more than welcome。 I then proceeded to the object of my visit。 

    ^I took the liberty of sending you a note察sir察院said I。 

    Mr   Guppy   acknowledged           the  receipt   by   taking   it  out   of  his 

breast´pocket察putting it to his lips察and returning it to his pocket 

with a bow。 Mr Guppy¨s mother was so diverted that she rolled her 

head   as   she   smiled察and made   a silent  appeal   to   Caddy   with   her 

elbow。 

    ^Could I speak to you alone for a moment拭院said I。 

    Anything   like     the   jocoseness     of  Mr   Guppy¨s     mother察    now察   I

think I never saw。 She made no sound of laughter察but she rolled 

her   head察  and   shook   it察  and   put   her   handkerchief   to   her   mouth察

and   appealed   to   Caddy   with   her   elbow察  and   her   hand察  and   her 

shoulder察  and   was   so   unspeakably   entertained   altogether   that   it 

was   with   some   difficulty   she   could   marshal   Caddy   through   the 

folding´door into her bedroom adjoining。 

    ^Miss     Summerson察院       said   Mr   Guppy察     you    will   excuse    the 

waywardness   of   a   parent   ever   mindful   of   a   son¨s   happiness。   My 

mother察though highly exasperating to the feelings察is actuated by 

maternal dictates。 ̄ 

    I  could   have    hardly    have   believed    that   anybody     could   in  a 

moment have turned so red察or changed so much察as Mr Guppy did 

when I now put up my veil。 

    ^I asked the favour of seeing you for a few moments here察院said 

I察 in preference to calling at Mr Kenge¨s察because察remembering 

what you said on an occasion when you spoke to me in confidence察

I   feared   I   might   otherwise   cause   you   some   embarrassment察  Mr 

Guppy。 ̄ 

    I   caused   him   embarrassment   enough   as   it   was察  I   am   sure。   I 

never   saw   such   faltering察  such   confusion察  such   amazement   and 

apprehension。 

    ^Miss    Summerson察院       stammered       Mr   Guppy察     I!I!beg       your 

pardon察  but   in   our   profession!we!we!find   it   necessary   to   be 

explicit。 You have referred to  an   occasion察 miss察  when  I!when   I 

did     myself    the    honour     of   making      a   declaration     which! ̄ 

Something seemed to rise in his throat that he could not possibly 

swallow。 He put his hand there察coughed察made faces察tried again 

to swallow it察coughed again察made faces again察looked all around 

the room察and fluttered his papers。

    ^A    kind   of  giddy    sensation    has   come     upon    me察  miss察院   he 

explained察 which rather knocks me over。 I!er!a little subject to 

this sort of thing!er!By George 院

    I gave him a little time to recover。 He consumed it in putting his 

hand to his forehead and taking it away again察and in backing his 

chair into the corner behind him。 

    ^My   intention   was   to   remark察  miss察院  said   Mr   Guppy察   亜dear 

me!something bronchial察I think!hem to remark that you was 

so    good    on    that   occasion察   as   to   repel    and   repudiate      that 

declaration。      You!you       wouldn¨t    perhaps     object   to  admit    that拭

Though no witnesses are present察it might be a satisfaction to!to 

your mind!if you was to put in that admission。 ̄ 

    ^There can be no doubt察院said I察 that I declined your proposal 

without any reservation or qualification whatever察Mr Guppy。 ̄ 

    ^Thank   you   miss察院  he   returned察  measuring   the   table   with   his 

troubled hands。 ^So far that¨s satisfactory察and it does you credit。 

Er!this   is   certainly   bronchial must   be   in   the   tubes!er!you 

wouldn¨t   perhaps   be   offended   if   I   was   to   mention!not   that   it¨s 

necessary察  for   your   own   good   sense   or   any   person¨s   sense   must 

show   ¨em   that!if   I   was   to   mention   that   such  declaration   on   my 

part was final察and there terminated拭院

    ^I quite understand that察院said I。 

    ^Perhaps!er!it may not be worth the form察but it might be a 

satisfaction   to   your   mind!perhaps   you   wouldn¨t   object   to   admit 

that察miss拭院said Mr Guppy。 

    ^I admit it most fully and freely察院said I。 

    ^Thank you察院returned Mr Guppy。 ^Very honourable察I am sure。 

I    regret     that   my     arrangements         in   life察  combined       with 

circumstances over which I have no control察will put it out of my

power ever to fall back upon that offer察or to renew it in any shape 

or form whatever察but it will ever be a retrospect entwined!er! 

with    friendship¨s     bowers。 ̄     Mr   Guppy¨s     bronchitis     came    to  his 

relief察and stopped his measurement of the table。 

    ^I   may now  perhaps  mention   what  I   wished   to   say   to   you拭院  I 

began。 

    ^I   shall   be   honoured察  I   am   sure察院  said  Mr   Guppy。     ^I  am   so 

persuaded that your own good sense and right feeling察miss察will! 

will keep you as square as   possible!that  I can   have nothing  but 

pleasure察I am   sure察in   hearing any  observation   you  may  wish  to 

offer。 ̄

    ^Excuse   me察  miss察院  said   Mr   Guppy察   but   we   had   better   not 

travel   out   of   the   record   into   implication。   I   cannot   admit   that   I 

implied anything。 ̄ 

    ^You  said   on   that   occasion察院  I   recommenced察   that   you   might 

possibly have the means of advancing my interests察
