It began to be said, among these shrewd observers, that Jem Carker, of Dombey's, was looking about him to see what he was worth; and that he was calling in his money at a good time, like the long-headed fellow he was; and bets were even offered on the Stock Exchange that Jem was going to marry a rich widow.
'He needn't wait, Carker, said Mr Dombey. And as Mr Carker again echoed the words, and also collected his papers as if he were going away too, Walter felt that his lingering any longer would be an unpardonable intrusion especially as he had nothing to say and therefore walked out quite confounded.
"Deed you show eet to your husband, señora?" Mrs. Morton shrugged her shoulders and lowered the corners of her mouth. "He saw it," she replied. "We had more than one little disagreement over it. He threatened to take it away from me." Carker was decidedly uncomfortable. Glancing toward Juanita, he observed that her cheeks were flushed and she seemed decidedly disturbed.
By that time, Mr Carker, though the winner, had mounted high into the Major's good opinion, insomuch that when he left the Major at his own room before going to bed, the Major as a special attention, sent the Native who always rested on a mattress spread upon the ground at his master's door along the gallery, to light him to his room in state.

'After me, old lady! returned the Manager, putting his hand in his pocket. 'Yes, said the woman, steadfast in her scrutiny, and holding out her shrivelled hand. 'I know! 'What do you know? demanded Carker, throwing her a shilling. 'Do you know who the handsome lady is?
Carker was almost smothered in the powerful arms of the delighted Irish youth. To the crowd, however, it seemed that a violent assault had been made on the orator. In that crowd were many who sympathized with the socialistic speaker or were pronounced socialists themselves. These persons grew excited immediately, and a dozen of them sought to push forward to Carker's assistance.
'Only myself, he assented with a sigh. 'I don't seek to divide the blame or shame. 'You have divided the shame, James Carker muttered through his teeth. And, through so many and such close teeth, he could mutter well.
Mrs Dombey is aware of the probability of your making me the organ of your displeasure? 'Yes, replied Mr Dombey. 'I have said so. 'Yes, rejoined Carker, quickly; 'but why? 'Why! Mr Dombey repeated, not without hesitation. 'Because I told her. 'Ay, replied Carker. 'But why did you tell her?
