Nicholas, stung by the concluding taunt, darted an indignant glance at him; but commanding himself as well as he could, entered upon a close examination of the documents, at which John Browdie assisted. There was nothing about them which could be called in question. 'Dear Nicholas, whispered Kate, who had been looking anxiously over his shoulder, 'can this be really the case?
Definite and detailed dues of this kind they did not predicate of the babe unborn; regarding him in that agnostic and opportunist light in which Mr. Browdie regarded the hypothetical child of Miss Squeers. Thinking these sex relations healthy, they naturally hoped they would produce healthy children; but that was all.
'I don't know whether your perceptions are quite keen enough, Mr Browdie, to enable you to understand that your remarks are offensive, said Nicholas in a towering passion, 'but if they are, have the goodness to 'If you say another word, John, shrieked Miss Price, stopping her admirer's mouth as he was about to interrupt, 'only half a word, I'll never forgive you, or speak to you again.
With these expressions of delight, John Browdie laughed and laughed again so loud that the echoes, far and wide, sent back nothing but jovial peals of merriment and shook Nicholas by the hand meanwhile, no less heartily.
Mr John Browdie, with his hands in his pockets, hovered restlessly about these delicacies, stopping occasionally to whisk the flies out of the sugar-basin with his wife's pocket-handkerchief, or to dip a teaspoon in the milk-pot and carry it to his mouth, or to cut off a little knob of crust, and a little corner of meat, and swallow them at two gulps like a couple of pills.
'Stan' still, said the Yorkshireman, 'and doant'ee speak a morsel o' talk till I tell'ee. With this caution, John Browdie shook his head significantly, and drawing a screwdriver from his pocket, took off the box of the lock in a very deliberate and workmanlike manner, and laid it, together with the implement, on the floor. 'See thot? said John 'Thot be thy doin'. Noo, coot awa'!
It now became Miss Squeers's turn to intercede with Nicholas, which she did with many symptoms of alarm and horror; the effect of the double intercession was, that he and John Browdie shook hands across the table with much gravity; and such was the imposing nature of the ceremonial, that Miss Squeers was overcome and shed tears. 'What's the matter, Fanny? said Miss Price.
I know that, replied the coachman gruffly, as he banged the door. ''Tilda, dear, really, remonstrated Miss Squeers, 'we shall be taken for I don't know what. 'Let them tak' us as they foind us, said John Browdie; 'we dean't come to Lunnun to do nought but 'joy oursel, do we? 'I hope not, Mr Browdie, replied Miss Squeers, looking singularly dismal. 'Well, then, said John, 'it's no matther.
'Say thee say out, Fanny, and mak' sure it's the end, and dinnot ask nobody whether it is or not. 'Thanking you for your advice which was not required, Mr Browdie, returned Miss Squeers, with laborious politeness, 'have the goodness not to presume to meddle with my Christian name. Even my pity shall never make me forget what's due to myself, Mr Browdie.
At the end of the first verse, as though some person without had waited until then to make himself audible, was heard a loud and violent knocking at the street-door; so loud and so violent, indeed, that the ladies started as by one accord, and John Browdie stopped. 'It must be some mistake, said Nicholas, carelessly. 'We know nobody who would come here at this hour.
