louis vuitton handbags Here he is, Esther," said Mr. Jarndyce, comfortably putting hishands into his pockets and stretching out his legs. "He must havea profession; he must make some choice for himself. There will bea world more wiglomeration about it, I suppose, but it must bedone.""More what, guardian?" said I."More wiglomeration," said he. "It's the only name I know for thething. He is a ward in Chancery, my dear. Kenge and Carboy willhave something to say about it; Master Somebody--a sort ofridiculous sexton, digging graves for the merits of causes in aback room at the end of Quality Court, Chancery Lane--will havesomething to say about it; counsel will have something to say aboutit; the Chancellor will have something to say about it; thesatellites will have something to say about it; they will all haveto be handsomely feed, all round, about it; the whole thing will bevastly ceremonious, wordy, unsatisfactory, and expensive, and Icall it, in general, wiglomeration. How mankind ever came to beafflicted with wiglomeration, or for whose sins these young peopleever fell into a pit of it, I don't know; so it is."He began to rub his head again and to hint that he felt the wind. nike air max 2012 But it was a delightful instance of his kindness towards me thatwhether he rubbed his head, or walked about, or did both, his facewas sure to recover its benignant expression as it looked at mine;and he was sure to turn comfortable again and put his hands in hispockets and stretch out his legs."Perhaps it would be best, first of all," said I, "to ask Mr.Richard what he inclines to himself.""Exactly so," he returned. "That's what I mean! You know, justaccustom yourself to talk it over, with your tact and in your quietway, with him and Ada, and see what you all make of it. We aresure to come at the heart of the matter by your means, littlewoman."I really was frightened at the thought of the importance I wasattaining and the number of things that were being confided to me.I had not meant this at all; I had meant that he should speak toRichard. But of course I said nothing in reply except that I woulddo my best, though I feared (I realty felt it necessary to repeatthis) that he thought me much more sagacious than I was. At whichmy guardian only laughed the pleasantest laugh I ever heard. burberry sale "Come!" he said, rising and pushing back his chair. "I think wemay have done with the growlery for one day! Only a concludingword. Esther, my dear, do you wish to ask me anything?"He looked so attentively at me that I looked attentively at him andfelt sure I understood him."About myself, sir?" said I."Yes.""Guardian," said I, venturing to put my hand, which was suddenlycolder than I could have wished, in his, "nothing! I am quite surethat if there were anything I ought to know or had any need toknow, I should not have to ask you to tell it to me. If my wholereliance and confidence were not placed in you, I must have a hardheart indeed. I have nothing to ask you, nothing in the world."He drew my hand through his arm and we went away to look for Ada.From that hour I felt quite easy with him, quite unreserved, quitecontent to know no more, quite happy.We lived, at first, rather a busy life at Bleak House, for we hadto become acquainted with many residents in and out of who knew Mr. Jarndyce. It seemed to Ada and me thateverybody knew him who wanted to do anything with anybody else'smoney. It amazed us when we began to sort his letters and toanswer some of them for him in the growlery of a morning to findhow the great object of the lives of nearly all his correspondentsappeared to be to form themselves into committees for getting inand laying out money. The ladies were as desperate as thegentlemen; louis vuitton shirts indeed, I think they were even more so. They threwthemselves into committees in the most impassioned manner andcollected subscriptions with a vehemence quite extraordinary. Itappeared to us that some of them must pass their whole lives indealing out subscription-cards to the whole post-office directory--shilling cards, half-crown cards, half-sovereign cards, pennycards. They wanted everything. They wanted wearing apparel, theywanted linen rags, they wanted money, they wanted coals, theywanted soup, they wanted interest, they wanted autographs, theywanted flannel, they wanted whatever Mr. Jarndyce had--or had not.Their objects were as various as their demands. They were going toraise new buildings, they were going to pay off debts on oldbuildings, they were going to establish in a picturesque building(engraving of proposed west elevation attached) the Sisterhood ofMediaeval Marys, they were going to give a testimonial to Mrs.Jellyby, they were going to have their secretary's portrait paintedand presented to his mother-in-law, whose deep devotion to him waswell known, they were going to get up everything, I really believe,from five hundred thousand tracts to an annuity and from a marblemonument to a silver tea-pot. They took a multitude of titles. burberry bags They were the Women of England, the Daughters of Britain, theSisters of all the cardinal virtues separately, the Females ofAmerica, the Ladies of a hundred denominations. They appeared tobe always excited about canvassing and electing. They seemed toour poor wits, and according to their own accounts, to beconstantly polling people by tens of thousands, yet never bringingtheir candidates in for anything. It made our heads ache to think,on the whole, what feverish lives they must lead.Among the ladies who were most distinguished for this rapaciousbenevolence (if I may use the expression) was a Mrs. Pardiggle, whoseemed, as I judged from the number of her letters to Mr. Jarndyce,to be almost as powerful a correspondent as Mrs. Jellyby herself.We observed that the wind always changed when Mrs. Pardiggle becamethe subject of conversation and that it invariably interrupted Mr.Jarndyce and prevented his going any farther, when he had remarkedthat there were two classes of charitable people; one, the peoplewho did a little and made a great deal of noise; the other, thepeople who did a great deal and made no noise at all.
