If Mr Clennam was here but unfortunately, though he has so far got the better of this fine gentleman as to return him to this place against his will, he is ill and in prison ill and in prison, poor fellow if he was here, said Mr Pancks, taking one step aside towards the window-seat, and laying his right hand upon the stocking; 'he would say, "Affery, tell your dreams!"
Mistress Affery went down to let him in, and he said on entering, 'Affery, I am glad it's you. I want to ask you a question. Affery immediately replied, 'For goodness sake don't ask me nothing, Arthur! I am frightened out of one half of my life, and dreamed out of the other. Don't ask me nothing!
Let her alone. Affery, do you turn against me after these many years? 'I do, if it's turning against you to hear what I don't know, and say what I know. I have broke out now, and I can't go back. I am determined to do it. I will do it, I will, I will, I will! If that's turning against you, yes, I turn against both of you two clever ones.
Arthur looked at him again in no more flattering manner than before, and, turning on his heel without acknowledgment, went up-stairs. The visitor followed him up-stairs. Mistress Affery took the key from behind the door, and deftly slipped out to fetch her lord.
'In the meantime, I am going to the door, sir, returned the old man so savagely, as to render it clear that in a choice of difficulties he felt he must go, though he would have preferred not to go.

'The Lord bless you, Arthur, and forgive me the wish! cried Affery, speaking always in a low tone.
Jeremiah, whose eyes glistened as if they saw money, darted a sudden look at the son, which seemed to say, 'I owe YOU no thanks for this; YOU have done nothing towards it! and then told the mother that he thanked her, and that Affery thanked her, and that he would never desert her, and that Affery would never desert her. Finally, he hauled up his watch from its depths, and said, 'Eleven.

After this explosion Affery put her apron into her mouth again; always keeping her hand on the window-sill and her knee on the window-seat, ready to cry out or jump out if her lord and master approached. Rigaud had not lost a word of this. 'Haha! he cried, lifting his eyebrows, folding his arms, and leaning back in his chair.
