The villain, Blandois, is a very stagey villain indeed; quite as stagey as Ralph Nickleby or the mysterious Monk. The secret of the dark house of Clennam is a very silly secret; quite as silly as the secret of Ralph Nickleby or the secret of Monk.
'Never heard of it. Mrs Clennam said it, and Mr Flintwinch echoed it. 'Wishing to ha make the narrative coherent and consecutive to him, said Mr Dorrit, 'may I ask say, three questions? 'Thirty, if you choose. 'Have you known Monsieur Blandois long? 'Not a twelvemonth. Mr Flintwinch here, will refer to the books and tell you when, and by whom at Paris he was introduced to us.
Ah! yes, to be sure. It was this officious refugee, said Jeremiah to Mrs Clennam, 'who came knocking at the door on the night when Arthur and Chatterbox were here, and who asked me a whole Catechism of questions about Mr Blandois. 'It is true, Mr Baptist cheerfully admitted. 'And behold him, padrone! I have found him consequentementally.
'No! said Mr Baptist, shaking his head. 'You have just now described a man who was by when you heard that song; have you not? 'Yes! said Mr Baptist, nodding fifty times. 'And was he not called Blandois? 'No! said Mr Baptist. 'Altro, Altro, Altro, Altro! He could not reject the name sufficiently, with his head and his right forefinger going at once.
'Yes, sir, said Jeremiah, twisting himself at the visitor again, as he did during the whole of this dialogue, like some screw-machine that fell short of its grip; for the other never changed, and he always felt obliged to retreat a little. 'She is a remarkable woman. Great fortitude great strength of mind. 'They must have been very happy, said Blandois.
They shall all confess your merit, Blandois. You shall subdue the society which has grievously wronged you, to your own high spirit. Death of my soul! You are high spirited by right and by nature, my Blandois! To such soothing murmurs did this gentleman smoke out his cigar and drink out his bottle of wine.
'Mr Flintwinch will be happy to render you any service, and I hope your stay in this city may prove agreeable. Mr Blandois thanked her, and kissed his hand several times. 'This is an old room, he remarked, with a sudden sprightliness of manner, looking round when he got near the door, 'I have been so interested that I have not observed it. But it's a genuine old room.
'I mean of the foreign man, Arthur explained. 'I mean of the foreign man, said Jeremiah. He looked so grim, as he stood askew, with the knot of his cravat under his ear, that the thought passed into Clennam's mind, and not for the first time by many, could Flintwinch for a purpose of his own have got rid of Blandois? Could it have been his secret, and his safety, that were at issue?
This, with exact particulars of time and locality, and with a good detailed description of the foreign gentleman who had so mysteriously vanished, Mr Dorrit read at large. 'Blandois! said Mr Dorrit. 'Venice! And this description! I know this gentleman. He has been in my house.
'I had a friend once, my good comrade Flintwinch, said Blandois, standing astride before the fire, and so evidently saying it to arrest Clennam's retreating steps, that he lingered near the door; 'I had a friend once, who had heard so much of the dark side of this city and its ways, that he wouldn't have confided himself alone by night with two people who had an interest in getting him under the ground my faith! not even in a respectable house like this unless he was bodily too strong for them.
