Deeper Shadows Mr Carker the Manager rose with the lark, and went out, walking in the summer day. His meditations and he meditated with contracted brows while he strolled along hardly seemed to soar as high as the lark, or to mount in that direction; rather they kept close to their nest upon the earth, and looked about, among the dust and worms.
'Our friend is sly, Sir, sly, Sir, de-vilish sly, said the Major, staring round the door at Carker. 'So is Bagstock. But stopping in the midst of a chuckle, and drawing himself up to his full height, the Major solemnly exclaimed, as he struck himself on the chest, 'Dombey! I envy your feelings. God bless you! and withdrew.
'No, returned the child, mildly, 'I don't often hear Papa speak. 'Ah! true! more shame for him, thought Walter. After a minute's pause, during which he had been looking down upon the gentle patient little face moving on at his side, he said, 'The strangest man, Mr Carker the Junior is, Miss Florence, that ever you heard of.
Madge had a delicate gold chain about her neck, and to the end of this chain was attached a small locket. This locket she now displayed, asking Carker if he remembered it. "I think I do," he answered. "I should think you would!" she laughed. "You gave it to me. Don't you think it a pretty little locket, señorita?" "Veree," answered Juanita.
Carker, his confidential agent and manager, trades upon it for all vile ends, first to feather his own nest, and then to launch his patron into large and unsound business ventures.
And' said the Captain, rising gradually to a quotation he was preparing for a final burst, 'who comes from Sol Gills's daily, to your business, and your buzzums. The Captain's complacency as he gently jogged Mr Carker with his elbow, on concluding each of the foregoing short sentences, could be surpassed by nothing but the exultation with which he fell back and eyed him when he had finished this brilliant display of eloquence and sagacity; his great blue waistcoat heaving with the throes of such a masterpiece, and his nose in a state of violent inflammation from the same cause.
'I observed, said Mr Dombey 'and this concludes what I deem it necessary to say to you at present, Mrs Dombey I observed a moment ago, Madam, that my allusion to Mr Carker was received in a peculiar manner. On the occasion of my happening to point out to you, before that confidential agent, the objection I had to your mode of receiving my visitors, you were pleased to object to his presence.
Carker, Hodge, and Merriwell launched a boat from the boathouse and joined in the work. "It was on this cliff here that we had the encounter," explained Greg, as they rowed back and forth beneath the bluff. "The man's body should be here somewhere. There seems to be no particular current at this spot to carry it away. I think we'll find Jose Murillo within thirty yards of this locality."
The Major very hoarsely indicates his approval. Mr Carker, bending his head forward over the table in the direction of Cousin Feenix, smiles and nods a great many times. 'A in fact it's not a Cousin Feenix beginning again, thus, comes to a dead stop. 'Hear, hear! says the Major, in a tone of conviction.
"Yes," said Madge, with a sigh, "Gregory gave me this little trinket. He gave me something else. Let's see if I can open it." She succeeded in opening the locket, and again held it up before Carker. "See," she went on, "it's your picture, Greg your picture and mine. I've worn this locket every day since you gave it to me." "Oo!" murmured Juanita, with just the least touch of malice.
