Belas tuteladas do tribunal tornaram-se mães e avós; uma longa procissão de Chanceleres entrou e saiu; a legião de petições no processo transformou-se em meras certidões de óbito; talvez não restem três Jarndyces sobre a terra desde que o velho Tom Jarndyce, em desespero, deu um tiro na cabeça numa cafetaria em Chancery Lane; mas Jarndyce e Jarndyce ainda arrasta o seu lúgubre curso diante do tribunal, perennemente sem esperança.
