Apart from any inclinations of my own, I understood Wemmick's hint now. I foresaw that, being convicted, his possessions would be forfeited to the Crown. "Lookee here, dear boy," said he "It's best as a gentleman should not be knowed to belong to me now. Only come to see me as if you come by chance alonger Wemmick.
'You come alonger me, Sir, says he, 'and have a look at your daughter a-kissin' and huggin' up in Beale's shed, along of a perfect stranger. So the old man he says, 'God bless you, George is proud of him saying that and off he goes, in a regular fanteague, beats the young master to a jelly, for all he's an old man and feeble, and shuts Miss up in her room. Now that wouldn't a been my way."
Meanwhile Nurse went on in a coaxing tone: "If so be as you make haste and get well, you're to go alonger me and stay with your Aunt Clarkson in the country. There now!" Ruth received the news calmly. It did not seem a very pleasant prospect, or even a very real one to her.
So I begun wi' Compeyson, and a poor tool I was in his hands. But Arthur soon settled the account. The second or third time as ever I see him, he come a tearing down into Compeyson's parlor late at night, in only a flannel gown, with his hair all in a sweat, and he says to Compeyson's wife, 'Sally, she really is upstairs alonger me, now, and I can't get rid of her.
"Oh, no no, I never." "Well, you come alonger me. I ain't 'it yer, have I, like what yer aunt do? I give yer a ride in a pleasure boat, only you went to sleep, and I give you a tea fit for a hemperor. Ain't I?" "You 'ave that," said Dickie. "Well, that'll show you the sort of man I am. So now I make you a fair offer.
"If here isn't Mr Snell coming in alonger Pa," said Agnetta, craning her neck to see out of the window. "He's sure to stay to tea." She immediately drew her chair up to the table and helped herself largely to jam. "And of all evenings in the week I wish he hadn't chosen this," said Mrs Greenways. "Poking and meddling in other folks' concerns.
"You'll come alonger me and sleep, won't you, dearie?" said Mrs Wishing coaxingly. "It's lonesome for you here." But Lilac shook her head. "I'd rather bide here, thank you," was all she said; and after trying many forms of persuasion the two women left her unwillingly and took their way.
She had repeated this sentence so often to herself that it came out now without the least effort. "All right!" said the porter good-naturedly, "you come alonger me;" and he helped Biddy out and opened her umbrella for her, and asked if she had any luggage. Then diving into the van he reappeared with the precious black box on his shoulder, and led the way along the dripping platform.
"Yes, dear boy?" "When you came in at the gate and asked the watchman the way here, had you any one with you?" "With me? No, dear boy." "But there was some one there?" "I didn't take particular notice," he said, dubiously, "not knowing the ways of the place. But I think there was a person, too, come in alonger me." "Are you known in London?"
While we stood in the hut, he stood before the fire looking thoughtfully at it, or putting up his feet by turns upon the hob, and looking thoughtfully at them as if he pitied them for their recent adventures. Suddenly, he turned to the sergeant, and remarked, "I wish to say something respecting this escape. It may prevent some persons laying under suspicion alonger me."
