'There certainly is no reason in looking with interest at a parcel of vagabonds, returned Bounderby. 'When I was a vagabond myself, nobody looked with any interest at me; I know that. 'Then comes the question; said the eminently practical father, with his eyes on the fire, 'in what has this vulgar curiosity its rise? 'I'll tell you in what. In idle imagination.
Sir William's eyebrows were slightly raised as he advanced to greet the party. Peter was at once profoundly interested. Mr. Portal introduced his guests. "You will forgive me, I am sure, for bringing a spectator, Bounderby," he said.
Gradgrind joined them before they had gone very far, and spoke with much interest of Stephen Blackpool; for whom he thought this signal failure of the suspicions against Mrs. Pegler was likely to work well. As to the whelp; throughout this scene as on all other late occasions, he had stuck close to Bounderby.
'Have you so proved it to be a failing of mine, Tom? said Louisa, showing no other sense of his discontent and ill-nature. 'You know whether the cap fits you, Loo, returned her brother sulkily. 'If it does, you can wear it. 'Tom is misanthropical to-day, as all bored people are now and then, said Mr. Harthouse. 'Don't believe him, Mrs. Bounderby. He knows much better.
Being heated when he arrived at this climax, Josiah Bounderby of Coketown stopped. He stopped just as his eminently practical friend, still accompanied by the two young culprits, entered the room. His eminently practical friend, on seeing him, stopped also, and gave Louisa a reproachful look that plainly said, 'Behold your Bounderby! 'Well! blustered Mr. Bounderby, 'what's the matter?

You have your opinion, I dare say; and I have mine, I know.
'If I was to live wi' her an' not marry her saying such a thing could be, which it never could or would, an' her so good there's a law to punish me, in every innocent child belonging to me? 'Of course there is. 'Now, a' God's name, said Stephen Blackpool, 'show me the law to help me! 'Hem! There's a sanctity in this relation of life, said Mr. Bounderby, 'and and it must be kept up.
This is not a time for a lady, however highly connected, to be totally inaudible, and seemingly swallowing marbles. Tom Gradgrind, Mrs. Sparsit latterly found herself, by accident, in a situation to overhear a conversation out of doors between your daughter and your precious gentleman-friend, Mr. James Harthouse. 'Indeed! said Mr. Gradgrind. 'Ah! Indeed! cried Bounderby.
Gradgrind was extremely discomfited by this unexpected question. 'Well, my child, he returned, 'I really cannot take upon myself to say. 'Father, pursued Louisa in exactly the same voice as before, 'do you ask me to love Mr. Bounderby? 'My dear Louisa, no. No. I ask nothing. 'Father, she still pursued, 'does Mr. Bounderby ask me to love him? 'Really, my dear, said Mr.
