On
the
day
when
matters
were
concluded
between
Richard
and
Mr
.
Badger
,
we
were
all
under
engagement
to
dine
at
Mr
.
Badger
s
house
.
We
were
to
be
"
merely
a
family
party
,
"
Mrs
.
Badger
s
note
said
;
and
we
found
no
lady
there
but
Mrs
.
Badger
herself
.
She
was
surrounded
in
the
drawing
-
room
by
various
objects
,
indicative
of
her
painting
a
little
,
playing
the
piano
a
little
,
playing
the
guitar
a
little
,
playing
the
harp
a
little
,
singing
a
little
,
working
a
little
,
reading
a
little
,
writing
poetry
a
little
,
and
botanizing
a
little
.
She
was
a
lady
of
about
fifty
,
I
should
think
,
youthfully
dressed
,
and
of
a
very
fine
complexion
.
If
I
add
to
the
little
list
of
her
accomplishments
that
she
rouged
a
little
,
I
do
not
mean
that
there
was
any
harm
in
it
.
Mr
.
Bayham
Badger
himself
was
a
pink
,
fresh
-
faced
,
crisp
-
looking
gentleman
with
a
weak
voice
,
white
teeth
,
light
hair
,
and
surprised
eyes
,
some
years
younger
,
I
should
say
,
than
Mrs
.
Bayham
Badger
.
He
admired
her
exceedingly
,
but
principally
,
and
to
begin
with
,
on
the
curious
ground
(
as
it
seemed
to
us
)
of
her
having
had
three
husbands
.
We
had
barely
taken
our
seats
when
he
said
to
Mr
.
Jarndyce
quite
triumphantly
,
"
You
would
hardly
suppose
that
I
am
Mrs
.
Bayham
Badger
s
third
!
"
"
Indeed
?
"
said
Mr
.
Jarndyce
.
"
Her
third
!
"
said
Mr
.
Badger
.
"
Mrs
.
Bayham
Badger
has
not
the
appearance
,
Miss
Summerson
,
of
a
lady
who
has
had
two
former
husbands
?
"
I
said
"
Not
at
all
!
"
"
And
most
remarkable
men
!
"
said
Mr
.
Badger
in
a
tone
of
confidence
.
"
Captain
Swosser
of
the
Royal
Navy
,
who
was
Mrs
.
Badger
s
first
husband
,
was
a
very
distinguished
officer
indeed
.
262
The
name
of
Professor
Dingo
,
my
immediate
predecessor
,
is
one
of
European
reputation
.
"
Mrs
.
Badger
overheard
him
and
smiled
.
"
Yes
,
my
dear
!
"
Mr
.
Badger
replied
to
the
smile
,
"
I
was
observing
to
Mr
.
Jarndyce
and
Miss
Summerson
that
you
had
had
two
former
husbands
both
very
distinguished
men
.
And
they
found
it
,
as
people
generally
do
,
difficult
to
believe
.
"
"
I
was
barely
twenty
,
"
said
Mrs
.
Badger
,
"
when
I
married
Captain
Swosser
of
the
Royal
Navy
.
I
was
in
the
Mediterranean
with
him
;
I
am
quite
a
sailor
.
On
the
twelfth
anniversary
of
my
wedding
-
day
,
I
became
the
wife
of
Professor
Dingo
.
"
"
Of
European
reputation
,
"
added
Mr
.
Badger
in
an
undertone
.
"
And
when
Mr
.
Badger
and
myself
were
married
,
"
pursued
Mrs
.
Badger
,
"
we
were
married
on
the
same
day
of
the
year
.
I
had
become
attached
to
the
day
.
"
"
So
that
Mrs
.
Badger
has
been
married
to
three
husbands
two
of
them
highly
distinguished
men
,
"
said
Mr
.
Badger
,
summing
up
the
facts
,
"
and
each
time
upon
the
twenty
-
first
of
March
at
eleven
in
the
forenoon
!
"
We
all
expressed
our
admiration
.
"
But
for
Mr
.
Badger
s
modesty
,
"
said
Mr
.
Jarndyce
,
"
I
would
take
leave
to
correct
him
and
say
three
distinguished
men
.
"
"
Thank
you
,
Mr
.
Jarndyce
!
What
I
always
tell
him
!
"
observed
Mrs
.
Badger
.
"
And
,
my
dear
,
"
said
Mr
.
Badger
,
"
what
do
I
always
tell
you
?
That
without
any
affectation
of
disparaging
such
professional
distinction
as
I
may
have
attained
(
which
our
friend
Mr
.
Carstone
will
have
many
opportunities
of
estimating
)
,
I
am
not
so
weak
no
,
really
,
"
said
Mr
.
263
Badger
to
us
generally
,
"
so
unreasonable
as
to
put
my
reputation
on
the
same
footing
with
such
first
-
rate
men
as
Captain
Swosser
and
Professor
Dingo
.
Perhaps
you
may
be
interested
,
Mr
.
Jarndyce
,
"
continued
Mr
.
Bayham
Badger
,
leading
the
way
into
the
next
drawing
-
room
,
"
in
this
portrait
of
Captain
Swosser
.
It
was
taken
on
his
return
home
from
the
African
station
,
where
he
had
suffered
from
the
fever
of
the
country
.
Mrs
.
Badger
considers
it
too
yellow
.
But
it
s
a
very
fine
head
.
A
very
fine
head
!
"
We
all
echoed
,
"
A
very
fine
head
!
"
"
I
feel
when
I
look
at
it
,
"
said
Mr
.
Badger
,
"
That
s
a
man
I
should
like
to
have
seen
!
It
strikingly
bespeaks
the
first
-
class
man
that
Captain
Swosser
pre
-
eminently
was
.
On
the
other
side
,
Professor
Dingo
.
I
knew
him
well
attended
him
in
his
last
illness

speaking
likeness

"
Dinner
was
now
announced
,
and
we
went
downstairs
.
It
was
a
very
genteel
entertainment
,
very
handsomely
served
.
But
the
captain
and
the
professor
still
ran
in
Mr
.
Badger
s
head
,
and
as
Ada
and
I
had
the
honour
of
being
under
his
particular
care
,
we
had
the
full
benefit
of
them
.
"
Water
,
Miss
Summerson
?
Allow
me
!
Not
in
that
tumbler
,
pray
.
Bring
me
the
professor
s
goblet
,
James
!
"
Ada
very
much
admired
some
artificial
flowers
under
a
glass
.
"
Astonishing
how
they
keep
!
"
said
Mr
.
Badger
.
"
They
were
presented
to
Mrs
.
Bayham
Badger
when
she
was
in
the
Mediterranean
.
"
He
invited
Mr
.
Jarndyce
to
take
a
glass
of
claret
.

"
Not
that
claret
!
"
he
said
.
"
Excuse
me
!
This
is
an
occasion
,
and
ON
an
occasion
I
produce
some
very
special
claret
I
happen
to
have
.
(
James
,
Captain
Swosser
s
wine
!
)
Mr
.
Jarndyce
,
this
is
a
wine
that
was
imported
by
the
captain
,
we
will
not
say
how
many
years
ago
.
You
will
find
it
very
curious
.
My
dear
,
I
shall
be
happy
to
take
some
of
this
wine
with
you
.
(
Captain
Swosser
s
claret
to
your
mistress
,
James
!
)
My
love
,
your
health
!
"
After
dinner
,
when
we
ladies
retired
,
we
took
Mrs
.
Badger
s
first
and
second
husband
with
us
.
Mrs
.
Badger
gave
us
in
the
drawing
-
room
a
biographical
sketch
of
the
life
and
services
of
Captain
Swosser
before
his
marriage
and
a
more
minute
account
of
him
dating
from
the
time
when
he
fell
in
love
with
her
at
a
ball
on
board
the
Crippler
,
given
to
the
officers
of
that
ship
when
she
lay
in
Plymouth
Harbour
.
"
The
dear
old
Crippler
!
"
said
Mrs
.
Badger
,
shaking
her
head
.
"
She
was
a
noble
vessel
.
Trim
,
ship
-
shape
,
all
a
taunto
,
as
Captain
Swosser
used
to
say
.
You
must
excuse
me
if
I
occasionally
introduce
a
nautical
expression
;
I
was
quite
a
sailor
once
.
Captain
Swosser
loved
that
craft
for
my
sake
.
When
she
was
no
longer
in
commission
,
he
frequently
said
that
if
he
were
rich
enough
to
buy
her
old
hulk
,
he
would
have
an
inscription
let
into
the
timbers
of
the
quarter
-
deck
where
we
stood
as
partners
in
the
dance
to
mark
the
spot
where
he
fell
raked
fore
and
aft
(
Captain
Swosser
used
to
say
)
by
the
fire
from
my
tops
.
It
was
his
naval
way
of
mentioning
my
eyes
.
"
Mrs
.
Badger
shook
her
head
,
sighed
,
and
looked
in
the
glass
.
265
"
It
was
a
great
change
from
Captain
Swosser
to
Professor
Dingo
,
"
she
resumed
with
a
plaintive
smile
.
"
I
felt
it
a
good
deal
at
first
.
Such
an
entire
revolution
in
my
mode
of
life
!
But
custom
,
combined
with
science
particularly
science
inured
me
to
it
.
Being
the
professor
s
sole
companion
in
his
botanical
excursions
,
I
almost
forgot
that
I
had
ever
been
afloat
,
and
became
quite
learned
.
It
is
singular
that
the
professor
was
the
antipodes
of
Captain
Swosser
and
that
Mr
.
Badger
is
not
in
the
least
like
either
!
"
We
then
passed
into
a
narrative
of
the
deaths
of
Captain
Swosser
and
Professor
Dingo
,
both
of
whom
seem
to
have
had
very
bad
complaints
.
In
the
course
of
it
,
Mrs
.
Badger
signified
to
us
that
she
had
never
madly
loved
but
once
and
that
the
object
of
that
wild
affection
,
never
to
be
recalled
in
its
fresh
enthusiasm
,
was
Captain
Swosser
.
The
professor
was
yet
dying
by
inches
in
the
most
dismal
manner
,
and
Mrs
.
Badger
was
giving
us
imitations
of
his
way
of
saying
,
with
great
difficulty
,
"
Where
is
Laura
?
Let
Laura
give
me
my
toast
and
water
!
"
when
the
entrance
of
the
gentlemen
consigned
him
to
the
tomb
.
Now
,
I
observed
that
evening
,
as
I
had
observed
for
some
days
past
,
that
Ada
and
Richard
were
more
than
ever
attached
to
each
other
s
society
,
which
was
but
natural
,
seeing
that
they
were
going
to
be
separated
so
soon
.
I
was
therefore
not
very
much
surprised
when
we
got
home
,
and
Ada
and
I
retired
upstairs
,
to
find
Ada
more
silent
than
usual
,
though
I
was
not
quite
prepared
for
her
coming
into
my
arms
and
beginning
to
speak
to
me
,
with
her
face
hidden
.
"
My
darling
Esther
!
"
murmured
Ada
.
266
"
I
have
a
great
secret
to
tell
you
!
"
A
mighty
secret
,
my
pretty
one
,
no
doubt
!
"
What
is
it
,
Ada
?
"
"
Oh
,
Esther
,
you
would
never
guess
!
"
"
Shall
I
try
to
guess
?
"
said
I
.
"
Oh
,
no
!
Don
t
!
Pray
don
t
!
"
cried
Ada
,
very
much
startled
by
the
idea
of
my
doing
so
.
"
Now
,
I
wonder
who
it
can
be
about
?
"
said
I
,
pretending
to
consider
.
"
It
s
about
"
said
Ada
in
a
whisper
.
"
It
s
about
my
cousin
Richard
!
"
"
Well
,
my
own
!
"
said
I
,
kissing
her
bright
hair
,
which
was
all
I
could
see
.
"
And
what
about
him
?
"
"
Oh
,
Esther
,
you
would
never
guess
!
"
It
was
so
pretty
to
have
her
clinging
to
me
in
that
way
,
hiding
her
face
,
and
to
know
that
she
was
not
crying
in
sorrow
but
in
a
little
glow
of
joy
,
and
pride
,
and
hope
,
that
I
would
not
help
her
just
yet
.
"
He
says
I
know
it
s
very
foolish
,
we
are
both
so
young
but
he
says
,
"
with
a
burst
of
tears
,
"
that
he
loves
me
dearly
,
Esther
.
"
"
Does
he
indeed
?
"
said
I
.
"
I
never
heard
of
such
a
thing
!
Why
,
my
pet
of
pets
,
I
could
have
told
you
that
weeks
and
weeks
ago
!
"
To
see
Ada
lift
up
her
flushed
face
in
joyful
surprise
,
and
hold
me
round
the
neck
,
and
laugh
,
and
cry
,
and
blush
,
was
so
pleasant
!
"
Why
,
my
darling
,
"
said
I
,
"
what
a
goose
you
must
take
me
for
!
Your
cousin
Richard
has
been
loving
you
as
plainly
as
he
could
for
I
don
t
know
how
long
!
"
"
And
yet
you
never
said
a
word
about
it
!
"
cried
Ada
,
kissing
me
.
"
No
,
my
love
,
"
said
I
.
"
I
waited
to
be
told
.
"
"
But
now
I
have
told
you
,
you
don
t
think
it
wrong
of
me
,
do
you
?
"
returned
Ada
.
She
might
have
coaxed
me
to
say
no
if
I
had
been
the
hardest
-
hearted
duenna
in
the
world
.
Not
being
that
yet
,
I
said
no
very
freely
.
267
"
And
now
,
"
said
I
,
"
I
know
the
worst
of
it
.
"
"
Oh
,
that
s
not
quite
the
worst
of
it
,
Esther
dear
!
"
cried
Ada
,
holding
me
tighter
and
laying
down
her
face
again
upon
my
breast
.
"
No
?
"
said
I
.
"
Not
even
that
?
"
"
No
,
not
even
that
!
"
said
Ada
,
shaking
her
head
.
"
Why
,
you
never
mean
to
say
"
I
was
beginning
in
joke
.
But
Ada
,
looking
up
and
smiling
through
her
tears
,
cried
,
"
Yes
,
I
do
!
You
know
,
you
know
I
do
!
"
And
then
sobbed
out
,
"
With
all
my
heart
I
do
!
With
all
my
whole
heart
,
Esther
!
"
I
told
her
,
laughing
,
why
I
had
known
that
,
too
,
just
as
well
as
I
had
known
the
other
!
And
we
sat
before
the
fire
,
and
I
had
all
the
talking
to
myself
for
a
little
while
(
though
there
was
not
much
of
it
)
;
and
Ada
was
soon
quiet
and
happy
.
"
Do
you
think
my
cousin
John
knows
,
dear
Dame
Durden
?
"
she
asked
.
"
Unless
my
cousin
John
is
blind
,
my
pet
,
"
said
I
,
"
I
should
think
my
cousin
John
knows
pretty
well
as
much
as
we
know
.
"
"
We
want
to
speak
to
him
before
Richard
goes
,
"
said
Ada
timidly
,
"
and
we
wanted
you
to
advise
us
,
and
to
tell
him
so
.
Perhaps
you
wouldn
t
mind
Richard
s
coming
in
,
Dame
Durden
?
"
"
Oh
!
Richard
is
outside
,
is
he
,
my
dear
?
"
said
I
.
"
I
am
not
quite
certain
,
"
returned
Ada
with
a
bashful
simplicity
that
would
have
won
my
heart
if
she
had
not
won
it
long
before
,
"
but
I
think
he
s
waiting
at
the
door
.
"
There
he
was
,
of
course
.
They
brought
a
chair
on
either
side
of
me
,
and
put
me
between
them
,
and
really
seemed
to
have
fallen
in
love
with
me
instead
of
one
another
,
they
were
so
confiding
,
and
so
trustful
,
and
so
fond
of
me
.

They
went
on
in
their
own
wild
way
for
a
little
while
I
never
stopped
them
;
I
enjoyed
it
too
much
myself
and
then
we
gradually
fell
to
considering
how
young
they
were
,
and
how
there
must
be
a
lapse
of
several
years
before
this
early
love
could
come
to
anything
,
and
how
it
could
come
to
happiness
only
if
it
were
real
and
lasting
and
inspired
them
with
a
steady
resolution
to
do
their
duty
to
each
other
,
with
constancy
,
fortitude
,
and
perseverance
,
each
always
for
the
other
s
sake
.
Well
!
Richard
said
that
he
would
work
his
fingers
to
the
bone
for
Ada
,
and
Ada
said
that
she
would
work
her
fingers
to
the
bone
for
Richard
,
and
they
called
me
all
sorts
of
endearing
and
sensible
names
,
and
we
sat
there
,
advising
and
talking
,
half
the
night
.
Finally
,
before
we
parted
,
I
gave
them
my
promise
to
speak
to
their
cousin
John
to
-
morrow
.
So
,
when
to
-
morrow
came
,
I
went
to
my
guardian
after
breakfast
,
in
the
room
that
was
our
town
-
substitute
for
the
growlery
,
and
told
him
that
I
had
it
in
trust
to
tell
him
something
.
"
Well
,
little
woman
,
"
said
he
,
shutting
up
his
book
,
"
if
you
have
accepted
the
trust
,
there
can
be
no
harm
in
it
.
"
"
I
hope
not
,
guardian
,
"
said
I
.
"
I
can
guarantee
that
there
is
no
secrecy
in
it
.
For
it
only
happened
yesterday
.
"
"
Aye
?
And
what
is
it
,
Esther
?
"
"
Guardian
,
"
said
I
,
"
you
remember
the
happy
night
when
first
we
came
down
to
Bleak
House
?
When
Ada
was
singing
in
the
dark
room
?
"
I
wished
to
call
to
his
remembrance
the
look
he
had
given
me
then
.
Unless
I
am
much
mistaken
,
I
saw
that
I
did
so
.
"
Because
"
said
I
with
a
little
hesitation
.
"
Yes
,
my
dear
!
"
said
he
.
"
Don
t
hurry
.
269
"
"
Because
,
"
said
I
,
"
Ada
and
Richard
have
fallen
in
love
.
And
have
told
each
other
so
.
"
"
Already
!
"
cried
my
guardian
,
quite
astonished
.
"
Yes
!
"
said
I
.
"
And
to
tell
you
the
truth
,
guardian
,
I
rather
expected
it
.
"
"
The
deuce
you
did
!
"
said
he
.
He
sat
considering
for
a
minute
or
two
,
with
his
smile
,
at
once
so
handsome
and
so
kind
,
upon
his
changing
face
,
and
then
requested
me
to
let
them
know
that
he
wished
to
see
them
.
When
they
came
,
he
encircled
Ada
with
one
arm
in
his
fatherly
way
and
addressed
himself
to
Richard
with
a
cheerful
gravity
.
"
Rick
,
"
said
Mr
.
Jarndyce
,
"
I
am
glad
to
have
won
your
confidence
.
I
hope
to
preserve
it
.
When
I
contemplated
these
relations
between
us
four
which
have
so
brightened
my
life
and
so
invested
it
with
new
interests
and
pleasures
,
I
certainly
did
contemplate
,
afar
off
,
the
possibility
of
you
and
your
pretty
cousin
here
(
don
t
be
shy
,
Ada
,
don
t
be
shy
,
my
dear
!
)
being
in
a
mind
to
go
through
life
together
.
I
saw
,
and
do
see
,
many
reasons
to
make
it
desirable
.
But
that
was
afar
off
,
Rick
,
afar
off
!
"
"
We
look
afar
off
,
sir
,
"
returned
Richard
.
"
Well
!
"
said
Mr
.
Jarndyce
.
"
That
s
rational
.
Now
,
hear
me
,
my
dears
!
I
might
tell
you
that
you
don
t
know
your
own
minds
yet
,
that
a
thousand
things
may
happen
to
divert
you
from
one
another
,
that
it
is
well
this
chain
of
flowers
you
have
taken
up
is
very
easily
broken
,
or
it
might
become
a
chain
of
lead
.
But
I
will
not
do
that
.
Such
wisdom
will
come
soon
enough
,
I
dare
say
,
if
it
is
to
come
at
all
.
I
will
assume
that
a
few
years
hence
you
will
be
in
your
hearts
to
one
another
what
you
are
to
-
day
.
270
All
I
say
before
speaking
to
you
according
to
that
assumption
is
,
if
you
DO
change
if
you
DO
come
to
find
that
you
are
more
commonplace
cousins
to
each
other
as
man
and
woman
than
you
were
as
boy
and
girl
(
your
manhood
will
excuse
me
,
Rick
!
)
don
t
be
ashamed
still
to
confide
in
me
,
for
there
will
be
nothing
monstrous
or
uncommon
in
it
.
I
am
only
your
friend
and
distant
kinsman
.
I
have
no
power
over
you
whatever
.
But
I
wish
and
hope
to
retain
your
confidence
if
I
do
nothing
to
forfeit
it
.
"
"
I
am
very
sure
,
sir
,
"
returned
Richard
,
"
that
I
speak
for
Ada
too
when
I
say
that
you
have
the
strongest
power
over
us
both
rooted
in
respect
,
gratitude
,
and
affection
strengthening
every
day
.
"
"
Dear
cousin
John
,
"
said
Ada
,
on
his
shoulder
,
"
my
father
s
place
can
never
be
empty
again
.
All
the
love
and
duty
I
could
ever
have
rendered
to
him
is
transferred
to
you
.
"
"
Come
!
"
said
Mr
.
Jarndyce
.
"
Now
for
our
assumption
.
Now
we
lift
our
eyes
up
and
look
hopefully
at
the
distance
!
Rick
,
the
world
is
before
you
;
and
it
is
most
probable
that
as
you
enter
it
,
so
it
will
receive
you
.
Trust
in
nothing
but
in
Providence
and
your
own
efforts
.
Never
separate
the
two
,
like
the
heathen
waggoner
.
Constancy
in
love
is
a
good
thing
,
but
it
means
nothing
,
and
is
nothing
,
without
constancy
in
every
kind
of
effort
.
If
you
had
the
abilities
of
all
the
great
men
,
past
and
present
,
you
could
do
nothing
well
without
sincerely
meaning
it
and
setting
about
it
.
