The leader was insisting upon Mrs Squeers repeating her dose, Master Squeers was undergoing another dip in the treacle, and a violent assault had been commenced on Miss Squeers, when John Browdie, bursting open the door with a vigorous kick, rushed to the rescue. The shouts, screams, groans, hoots, and clapping of hands, suddenly ceased, and a dead silence ensued.

'You remember the night of our first tea-drinking? said Nicholas. 'Shall I e'er forget it, mun? replied John Browdie. 'He was a desperate fellow that night though, was he not, Mrs Browdie? said Nicholas. 'Quite a monster! 'If you had only heard him as we were going home, Mr Nickleby, you'd have said so indeed, returned the bride. 'I never was so frightened in all my life.
'Coom, coom, said John, with a broad grin; 'thou know'st betther than thot, Tilly. 'So I was, replied Mrs Browdie. 'I almost made up my mind never to speak to you again. 'A'most! said John, with a broader grin than the last. 'A'most made up her mind!

'You can't mean Smike? cried Miss Squeers, clapping her hands. 'Yes, I can though, rejoined her father.
