1My state of mind regarding the pilfering from which I had been so unexpectedly exonerated did not impel me to frank
2disclosure; but I hope it had some dregs of good at the bottom of it. I do not recall that I felt any tenderness of
3conscience in reference to Mrs. Joe, when the fear of being found out was lifted off me. But I loved Joe,--perhaps for
4no better reason in those early days than because the dear fellow let me love him,--and, as to him, my inner self was
5not so easily composed. It was much upon my mind (particularly when I first saw him looking about for his file) that I
6ought to tell Joe the whole truth. Yet I did not, and for the reason that I mistrusted that if I did, he would think me
7worse than I was. The fear of losing Joe's confidence, and of thenceforth sitting in the chimney corner at night staring
8drearily at my forever lost companion and friend, tied up my tongue. I morbidly represented to myself that if Joe knew
9it, I never afterwards could see him at the fireside feeling his fair whisker, without thinking that he was meditating
10on it. That, if Joe knew it, I never afterwards could see him glance, however casually, at yesterday's meat or pudding
11when it came on to-day's table, without thinking that he was debating whether I had been in the pantry. That, if Joe
12knew it, and at any subsequent period of our joint domestic life remarked that his beer was flat or thick, the
13conviction that he suspected tar in it, would bring a rush of blood to my face. In a word, I was too cowardly to do what
14I knew to be right, as I had been too cowardly to avoid doing what I knew to be wrong. I had had no intercourse with the
15world at that time, and I imitated none of its many inhabitants who act in this manner. Quite an untaught genius, I made
16the discovery of the line of action for myself. As I was sleepy before we were far away from the prison-ship, Joe took
17me on his back again and carried me home. He must have had a tiresome journey of it, for Mr. Wopsle, being knocked up,
18was in such a very bad temper that if the Church had been thrown open, he would probably have excommunicated the whole
19expedition, beginning with Joe and myself. In his lay capacity, he persisted in sitting down in the damp to such an
20insane extent, that when his coat was taken off to be dried at the kitchen fire, the circumstantial evidence on his
21trousers would have hanged him, if it had been a capital offence. By that time, I was staggering on the kitchen floor
22like a little drunkard, through having been newly set upon my feet, and through having been fast asleep, and through
23waking in the heat and lights and noise of tongues. As I came to myself (with the aid of a heavy thump between the
24shoulders, and the restorative exclamation "Yah! Was there ever such a boy as this!" from my sister,) I found Joe
25telling them about the convict's confession, and all the visitors suggesting different ways by which he had got into the
26pantry. Mr. Pumblechook made out, after carefully surveying the premises, that he had first got upon the roof of the
27forge, and had then got upon the roof of the house, and had then let himself down the kitchen chimney by a rope made of
28his bedding cut into strips; and as Mr. Pumblechook was very positive and drove his own chaise-cart--over everybody--it
29was agreed that it must be so. Mr. Wopsle, indeed, wildly cried out, "No!" with the feeble malice of a tired man; but,
30as he had no theory, and no coat on, he was unanimously set at naught,--not to mention his smoking hard behind, as he
31stood with his back to the kitchen fire to draw the damp out: which was not calculated to inspire confidence. This was
32all I heard that night before my sister clutched me, as a slumberous offence to the company's eyesight, and assisted me
33up to bed with such a strong hand that I seemed to have fifty boots on, and to be dangling them all against the edges of
34the stairs. My state of mind, as I have described it, began before I was up in the morning, and lasted long after the
35subject had died out, and had ceased to be mentioned saving on exceptional occasions.
