Pardiggle�察�who seemed�察�as I judged from the number of her letters 

to Mr Jarndyce�察�to be almost as powerful a correspondent as Mrs 

Jellyby herself。 We observed that the wind always changed�察�when 

Mrs     Pardiggle   became       the   subject   of  conversation�此     �and   that   it 

invariably interrupted Mr Jarndyce�察�and prevented his going any 

farther�察  �when   he   had   remarked   that   there        were    two   classes   of 

charitable   people�察  �one�察  �the   people   who   did   a   little   and   made   a 

great deal of noise�察�the other�察�the people who did a great deal and

made      no   noise   at  all。  We    were    therefore    curious     to  see   Mrs 

Pardiggle�察  �suspecting   her   to   be   a   type   of   the   former   class�察  �and 

were glad when she called one day with her five young sons。 

    She was a formidable style of lady�察�with spectacles�察�a prominent 

nose�察�and a loud voice�察�who had the effect of wanting a great deal 

of   room。   And   she   really   did�察  �for   she   knocked   down   little   chairs 

with her skirts that were quite a great way off。 As only Ada and I 

were at home�察�we received her timidly�察�for she seemed to come in 

like cold   weather�察  �and   to   make   the   little   Pardiggles   blue   as   they 

followed。 

    ^These�察�young ladies�察院�said Mrs Pardiggle�察�with great volubility�察�

after  the   first  salutations�察   �are   my  five   boys。   You   may   have   seen 

their names in a printed subscription list ��perhaps more than one���察�

in the possession of our esteemed friend Mr Jarndyce。 Egbert�察�my 

eldest  ��twelve���察  �is   the boy  who   sent  out  his   pocket´money�察  �to   the 

amount       of   five´and´three´pence�察       �to   the   Tockahoopo        Indians。 

Oswald   my   second   ��ten´and´a´half���察  �is   the   child   who   contributed 

two´and´nine´pence   to   the   Great   National   Smithers   Testimonial。 

Francis�察  �my   third   ��nine���察  �one´and´sixpence   halfpenny�察  �Felix�察  �my 

fourth ��seven���察�eight´pence to the Superannuated Widows�察�Alfred�察�

my  youngest  ��five���察  �has   voluntarily  enrolled   himself   in   the   Infant 

Bonds of Joy�察�and is pledged never�察�through life�察�to use tobacco in 

any form。 ̄ 

    We had never seen such dissatisfied children。 It was not merely 

that    they    were    weazened       and    shrivelled!though          they   were 

certainly     that   too!but      they    looked    absolutely     ferocious     with 

discontent。   At   the   mention   of   the   Tockahoopo   Indians�察         �I   could 

really    have    supposed      Egbert     to   be   one   of   the   most    baleful 

members of that tribe�察�he gave me such a savage frown。 The face

of   each   child�察  �as   the   amount   of   his   contribution   was   mentioned�察�

darkened in a peculiarly vindictive manner�察�but his was by far the 

worst。   I   must   except�察  �however�察  �the   little   recruit   into   the   Infant 

Bonds of Joy�察�who was stolidly and evenly miserable。 

    ^You have been visiting�察�I understand�察院�said Mrs Pardiggle�察 �at 

Mrs Jellyby¨s�拭院�

    We said yes�察�we had passed one night there。 

    ^Mrs   Jellyby�察院�pursued   the  lady�察�always   speaking   in   the   same 

demonstrative�察  �loud�察  �hard   tone�察  �so   that   her   voice   impressed   my 

fancy as if it had a sort of spectacles   on   too!and  I may  take  the 

opportunity of remarking that  her  spectacles   were   made   the   less 

engaging       by   her   eyes   being    what    Ada    called    ^choking     eyes�察院�

meaning very prominent�此 �Mrs  Jellyby  is a   benefactor  to  society�察�

and   deserves   a   helping   hand。   My   boys   have   contributed   to   the 

African project!Egbert one´and´six�察�being the entire allowance of 

nine weeks�察�Oswald�察�one´and´a´penny´halfpenny�察�being the same�察�

the rest�察�according to their little means。 Nevertheless�察�I do not go 

with Mrs Jellyby in all things。 I do not go with Mrs Jellyby in her 

treatment   of   her   young   family。   It   has   been   noticed。   It   has   been 

observed that her young family are excluded from participation in 

the objects to which she is devoted。 She may be right�察�she may be 

wrong�察�but�察  �right  or  wrong�察  �this   is   not  my  course   with my   young 

family。 I take them everywhere。 ̄ 

    I was afterwards convinced ��and so was Ada�� that from the ill´ 

conditioned   eldest   child�察  �these   words   extorted   a   sharp   yell。        He 

turned it off into a yawn�察�but it began as a yell。

I   am    on   the   Local    Linen    Box    Committee�察      �and    many     general 

Committees�察�and my canvassing alone is very extensive!perhaps 

no  one¨s  more   so。   But  they  are   my  companions   everywhere�察  �and 

by these means they acquire that knowledge of the poor�察�and that 

capacity   of   doing   charitable   business   in        general!in   short�察      �that 

taste   for  the   sort  of  thing!which  will   render  them   in   after  life   a 

service   to   their   neighbours�察  �and   a   satisfaction   to   themselves。   My 

young family are not frivolous�察�they expend the entire amount of 

their   allowance�察  �in   subscriptions�察  �under   my   direction�察  �and   they 

have attended as many public meetings�察�and listened   to  as   many 

lectures�察  �orations�察  �and   discussions�察  �as   generally   fall   to   the   lot   of 

few   grown   people。   Alfred   ��five���察  �who�察  �as   I   mentioned�察  �has   of   his 

own election joined the Infant Bonds of  Joy�察  �was   one  of  the  very 

few children who manifested consciousness on that occasion�察�after 

a fervid address of two hours from the chairman of the evening。 ̄ 

    Alfred glowered at us as if he never could�察�or would�察�forgive the 

injury of that night。

Pardiggle�察   �in   some   of   the   lists   to   which   I   have   referred�察  �in   the 

possession of our esteemed friend Mr Jarndyce�察�that the names of 

my young family are concluded with the name of O。 A。 Pardiggle�察�

F。R。S。�察  �one   pound。   That   is   their   father。   We   usually   observe   the

enroll   their  contributions�察�according  to  their   ages   and   their   little 

means�察�and then Mr Pardiggle brings up the rear。 Mr Pardiggle is

    Suppose      Mr    Pardiggle    were    to   dine   with   Mr    Jellyby�察  �and 

suppose   Mr   Jellyby   were   to   relieve   his   mind   after   dinner   to   Mr 

Pardiggle�察  �would   Mr   Pardiggle�察  �in   return�察  �make   any  confidential 

communication to Mr Jellyby�拭�I was quite confused to find myself 

thinking this�察�but it came into my head。 

    ^You are very pleasantly situated here� 院�said Mrs Pardiggle。 

   We were glad to change the subject�察�and�察�going to the window�察�

pointed out the beauties of the prospect�察�on which the spectacles 

appeared to me to rest with curious indifference。
