Jasper is thus compelled to revisit the vault, at night, and there, in the light of his lantern, he sees the long-lost Edwin, with his hand in the breast of his great coat. Horrified by this unexpected appearance, Jasper turns to fly. But he is confronted by Neville Landless, Crisparkle, Tartar, and perhaps by Mr. Grewgious, who are all on the watch.
However, I have got over that mope. Shall I wait, while you ask if Mr. Neville has left for my place? If not, he and I may walk round together. 'I think, says Mr. Crisparkle, opening the entrance-door with his key, 'that he left some time ago; at least I know he left, and I think he has not come back. But I'll inquire. You won't come in? 'My company wait, said Jasper, with a smile.
When not doing so himself, he may have some informant skulking about, in the person of a watchman, porter, or such-like hanger-on of Staple. Am I agreed with generally in the views I take? 'I entirely coincide with them, said Mr. Crisparkle, who had been very attentive. 'As I have no doubt I should, added Mr. Tartar, smiling, 'if I understood them. 'Fair and softly, sir, said Mr.
'It does me good, cries Mr. Crisparkle, 'to hear you say it! 'A man leading a monotonous life, Jasper proceeds, 'and getting his nerves, or his stomach, out of order, dwells upon an idea until it loses its proportions. That was my case with the idea in question. So I shall burn the evidence of my case, when the book is full, and begin the next volume with a clearer vision.
Honeythunder, platformally pausing as if he took Mr. Crisparkle to task for having distinctly asserted that they said: You may do a little murder, and then leave off. 'And they also say, you shall bear no false witness, observed Mr. Crisparkle. 'Enough! bellowed Mr. Honeythunder, with a solemnity and severity that would have brought the house down at a meeting, 'E-e-nough!
Crisparkle, throwing himself into pedestrian form. 'You don't rest upon it; you merely balance with it. 'I shall know better, with practice, sir. I have not lived in a walking country, you know. 'True, says Mr. Crisparkle. 'Get into a little training, and we will have a few score miles together. I should leave you nowhere now. Do you come back before dinner? 'I think not, as we dine early.

Then the sound of their talk becomes confused again; they halting for a little while, and some earnest action on the part of Neville succeeding. When they move once more, Mr. Crisparkle is seen to look up at the sky, and to point before him.
'In describing my own imperfections, sir, I must ask you not to suppose that I am describing my sister's. She has come out of the disadvantages of our miserable life, as much better than I am, as that Cathedral tower is higher than those chimneys. Mr. Crisparkle in his own breast was not so sure of this. 'I have had, sir, from my earliest remembrance, to suppress a deadly and bitter hatred.
'Is there no difference, asked Helena, with a little faltering in her manner; 'between submission to a generous spirit, and submission to a base or trivial one? Before the worthy Minor Canon was quite ready with his argument in reference to this nice distinction, Neville struck in: 'Help me to clear myself with Mr. Crisparkle, Helena.
Jasper, having worked out this problem, accepts Crisparkle's proposal, and his assurances about Neville, and shows Crisparkle a diary in which he has entered his fears that Edwin's life is in danger from Neville. Meanwhile Edwin visits Grewgious in his London chambers; is lectured on his laggard and supercilious behaviour as a lover, and receives the engagement ring of the late Mrs.
