from the first察 before Heaven察I will be a true friend to him I will 

accept him as a trust察and it shall be a sacred one 院

    ^God bless you 院said I察with my eyes filling fast察but I thought 

they   might察  when   it   was   not   for   myself。   ^Ada   loves   him!we   all 

love him察but Ada loves him as we cannot。 I will tell her what you 

say。 Thank you察and God bless you in her name 院

    Richard   came   back   as   we   finished   exchanging   these   hurried 

words察and gave me his arm to take me to the coach。 

    ^Woodcourt察院he said察unconscious with what application察 pray 

let us meet in London 院

    ^Meet拭院  returned   the   other。   ^I   have   scarcely   a   friend     there察

now察but you。 Where shall I find you拭院

    ^Why察    I  must    get   a  lodging     of  some    sort察院  said   Richard察

pondering。 ^Say at Vholes¨s察Symond¨s Inn。 ̄ 

    ^Good Without loss of time。 ̄ 

    They shook hands heartily。 When I was seated in the coach察and 

Richard   was   yet   standing   in   the   street察   Mr   Woodcourt   laid     his 

friendly     hand     on   Richard¨s     shoulder察    and    looked    at   me。    I 

understood him察and waved mine in thanks。 

   And in his last look as we drove away察  I   saw  that  he   was   very 

sorry for me。 I was glad to see it。 I felt for my old self as the dead 

may feel if they ever revisit these scenes。 I was glad to be tenderly 

remembered察to be gently pitied察not to be quite forgotten。

                                Stop Him 



           arkness rests upon Tom´all´Alone¨s。 Dilating and dilating 

           since   the   sun   went   down    last  night察  it  has  gradually 

D 

           swelled   until   it   fills   every   void   in   the   place。   For   a   time 

there were some dungeon lights burning察as the lamp of Life burns 

in   Tom´all´Alone¨s察    heavily察  heavily察  in  the   nauseous     air察 and 

winking!as   that   lamp察  too察  winks   in    Tom´all´Alone¨s!at   many 

horrible things。 But they are blotted out。 The moon has eyed Tom 

with a dull cold stare察as admitting some puny emulation of herself 

in his desert region unfit for life and blasted by volcanic fires察but 

she   has   passed   on察  and   is   gone。   The   blackest   nightmare   in   the 

infernal stables grazes on Tom´all´Alone¨s察and Tom is fast asleep。 

   Much mighty speech´making there has been察both in and out of 

Parliament察concerning Tom察and much wrathful disputation how 

Tom shall be got right。 Whether he shall be put into the main road 

by   constables察  or   by   beadles察 or   by   bell´ringing察 or   by   force  of 

figures察or by correct principles of taste察or by high church察or by 

low church察or by no church察  whether  he  shall be  set  to  splitting 

trusses of polemical straws with the crooked knife of his mind察or 

whether he shall be put to stone´breaking instead。 In the midst of 

which dust and noise察there is but one thing perfectly clear察to wit察

that   Tom     only  may    and   can察  or  shall  and   will察 be  reclaimed 

according to somebody¨s theory but nobody¨s practice。 And察in the 

hopeful meantime察Tom goes to perdition head foremost in his old 

determined spirit。

                                   Bleak House                                    862 



    But he has his revenge。 Even the winds are his messengers察and 

they serve him in these hours of darkness。 There is not a drop of 

Tom¨s     corrupted     blood   but    propagates     infection    and   contagion 

somewhere。 It shall pollute察this very night察the choice stream in 

which  chemists  on analysis   would   find   the   genuine   nobility   of   a 

Norman house察and his Grace shall not be able to say Nay to the 

infamous alliance。 There is not an atom of Tom¨s slime察not a cubic 

inch of any pestilential gas in which he lives察not one obscenity or 

degradation about him察not an ignorance察not a wickedness察not a 

brutality of his committing察but shall work its retribution察through 

every order of society察up to the proudest of the proud察and to the 

highest   of   the   high。   Verily察  what   with   tainting察  plundering察  and 

spoiling察Tom has his revenge。 

    It is a moot point whether Tom´all´Alone¨s be uglier by day or 

by night察but on the argument that the more that is seen of it the 

more     shocking     it  must    be察 and    that   no  part   of  it  left  to  the 

imagination   is   at   all   likely   to   be   made   so   bad   as   the   reality察  day 

carries it。 The day begins to break  now察  and  in  truth  it  might  be 

better for the   national   glory  even   that  the   sun should sometimes 

set upon the British dominions察than that it should ever rise upon 

so vile a wonder as Tom。 

   A brown sunburnt gentleman察who appears in some inaptitude 

for sleep to be wandering abroad rather than counting the hours 

on a restless pillow察strolls hitherward at this quiet time。 Attracted 

by  curiosity察  he  often   pauses and looks   about   him察  up   and   down 

the miserable byways。 Nor is he merely curious察for  in   his bright 

dark eye there is compassionate interest察and as he looks here and 

there察  he   seems   to   understand   such   wretchedness察  and   to   have 

studied it before。

                                   Bleak House                                    863 



    On the banks of the stagnant channel of mud which is the main 

street    of  Tom´all´Alone¨s察     nothing     is  to  be  seen   but   the   crazy 

houses察    shut   up   and    silent。  No    waking     creature    save   himself 

appears察except in one direction察where he sees the solitary figure 

of a woman sitting on a doorstep。 He walks that way。 Approaching察

he observes that she has journeyed a long distance察and is footsore 

and travel´stained。 She sits on the doorstep in the manner of one 

who is waiting察with her elbow on her knee and her head upon her 

hand。 Beside her is a canvas bag察or bundle察she has carried。 She is 

dozing  probably察  for   she   gives   no   heed   to   his   steps   as   he   comes 

toward her。 

    The  broken   footway  is   so narrow察  that  when   Allan   Woodcourt 

comes   to   where   the   woman   sits察  he   has   to   turn   into   the   road   to 

pass   her。   Looking   down   at   her   face察  his   eye   meets   hers察  and   he 

stops。 

    ^What is the matter拭院

    ^Nothing sir。 ̄ 

    ^Can¨t you make them hear拭Do you want to be let in拭院

    ^I¨m    waiting    till  they   get  up   at  another     house!a       lodging´ 

house!not here察院the woman patiently returns。 ^I¨m waiting here 

because there will be sun here presently to warm me。 ̄ 

    ^I am afraid you are tired。 I am sorry to  see   you  sitting  in  the 

street。 ̄ 

    ^Thank you sir。 It don¨t matter。 ̄ 

   A    habit    in  him    of  speaking     to   the  poor察   and    of  avoiding 

patronage       or   condescension察       or   childishness      which     is   the 

favourite device察many people deeming it quite a subtlety to talk to 

them like little spelling books察has put him on good terms with the 

woman easily。
