Little thinking that in this, he only showed again the difference between himself and his compeers, poor tiny Paul set it forth to Miss Blimber as well as he could, and begged her, in despite of the official analysis, to have the goodness to try and like him.

"Yes," said the doctor. "Yes, exactly. Ha! We shall impart a great variety of information to our little friend, and bring him quickly forward." At this moment Mrs.
'So Papa says, returned Paul; 'but I told you I have been a weak child. Florence knows I have. So does Wickam. 'Who is Wickam? asked Miss Blimber. 'She has been my nurse, Paul answered.
