Mistress Affery, who stood at the table near him, pouring out the tea, happened in her dreamy state to look at him as he said these words, and to fancy that she caught an expression in his eyes which attracted her own eyes so that she could not get them away.
'Have something to drink, then, said Affery; 'you shall have some of her bottle of port, if you like. I'll tell Jeremiah that you ordered me to bring it you. No; nor would he have that, either. 'It's no reason, Arthur, said the old woman, bending over him to whisper, 'that because I am afeared of my life of 'em, you should be. You've got half the property, haven't you? 'Yes, yes.
And she's all alone in her room, and lost the use of her limbs and can't stir to help herself or me, and t'other clever one's out, and Lord forgive me! cried Affery, driven into a frantic dance by these accumulated considerations, 'if I ain't a-going headlong out of my mind!

Mistress Affery makes a Conditional Promise, respecting her Dreams Left alone, with the expressive looks and gestures of Mr Baptist, otherwise Giovanni Baptista Cavalletto, vividly before him, Clennam entered on a weary day.
'What have you been dreaming of? Wake up, wake up! What's the matter? 'The the matter, Jeremiah? gasped Mrs Flintwinch, rolling her eyes. 'Why, Affery, woman Affery! You have been getting out of bed in your sleep, my dear! I come up, after having fallen asleep myself, below, and find you in your wrapper here, with the nightmare.

'Arthur? exclaimed Blandois, taking off his hat at arm's length, and bringing his heels together from a great stride in making him a flourishing bow. 'The son of my lady? I am the all-devoted of the son of my lady!
Mr Pancks, whom Affery had just shown in, was addressing an inquiry to Mrs Clennam on the subject of her health, coupled with the remark that, 'happening to find himself in that direction, he had looked in to inquire, on behalf of his proprietor, how she found herself. Mrs Clennam, with a deep contraction of her brows, was looking at him.

I sits me down and says it. Well! She'll speak to you about it herself, and now she'll find you prepared, Affery."
Jeremiah held up his light and looked at the blackened ceiling, held down his light and looked at the damp stone floor, turned round with his light and looked about at the spotted and blotched walls. 'Rats, cats, water, drains, said Jeremiah. Mistress Affery negatived each with a shake of her head. 'No, Jeremiah; I have felt it before.
'After all, perhaps you would rather not have known the fact, any how? said Jeremiah; and he said it with a twist, as if his words had come out of him in his own wry shape. 'Flintwinch, said his mistress and partner, flashing into a sudden energy that made Affery start, 'why do you goad me? Look round this room.
