The houses in this court have been rebuilt, and we may look in vain for the actual chambers specified. Returning to _Middle Temple Lane_, the visitor may walk directly across it to _Elm Court_, and proceed through the same and a narrow passage beyond, turning to the left, through _The Cloisters_, which (left again) give into the central location of Pump Court, an oblong old-fashioned court of offices, four storeys high. Here, in all probability, were situated THE CHAMBERS where _Tom Pinch_ was mysteriously installed as librarian to an unknown employer, by the eccentric _Mr. Fips_. “He led the way through sundry lanes and courts, into one more quiet and gloomy than the rest; and, singling out a certain house, ascended a common staircase . . . stopping before a door upon an upper storey. . . . There were two rooms on that floor; and in the first, or outer one, a narrow staircase leading to two more above.” Here, also, old _Martin Chuzzlewit_ revealed himself to the astonished Tom in his true character, and surprised the virtuous _Mr. Pecksniff_ by a “warm reception,” when “the tables were turned completely upside down.”—See “Chuzzlewit,” chapters 39 and 52. Proceeding past _Lamb Buildings_, on the east side of the Cloisters, and by a passage six steps downwards, leading beneath the _Inner Temple Dining-Hall_, we may note across the road (right) a short range of substantial houses, known as Paper Buildings, facing _King’s Bench Walk_, where it will be remembered that _Sir John Chester_ had his residential chambers, no doubt selecting a central position—say, at No. 3. Here at various times Mr. Edward Chester, Hugh, Sim Tappertit, and Gabriel Varden had audience with Sir John; for full particulars of which “overhaul the wollume”—“Barnaby Rudge.” In this neighbourhood also were situated the chambers of _Mr. Stryver_, _K.C._, where _Sydney Carton_ served as “jackal” to that “fellow of delicacy;” as we read in “The Tale of Two Cities,” how Sydney “Having revived himself by twice pacing the pavements of King’s Bench Walk and Paper Buildings, turned into the Stryver Chambers.” Returning to Fleet Street by Lamb Buildings, and passing in front of the Old Temple Church, we come to Goldsmith’s Buildings (right), which overlook the old burial-ground and the tomb of the doctor. This surely is the “dismal churchyard” referred to in “Our Mutual Friend” as being closely contiguous to the offices of Messrs. Lightwood and Wrayburn. “Whosoever . . . had looked up at the dismal windows commanding that churchyard, until at the most dismal window of them all, he saw a dismal boy, would in him have beheld . . . the clerk of Mr. Mortimer Lightwood.” _N.B._—Note the last window on the left (second floor), nearest the west wing, lately rebuilt.
