'Oh, indeed, sir! said Mr Cheggs. 'I'm glad to hear it. You know where I'm to be found, I suppose, sir, in case you should have anything to say to me? 'I can easily inquire, sir, when I want to know. 'There's nothing more we need say, I believe, sir? 'Nothing more, sir' With that they closed the tremendous dialog by frowning mutually.
Mr Cheggs has a good a right to be jealous as anyone else has, and perhaps he may have a better right soon if he hasn't already. You know best about that, Sophy!
'You must dance with Miss Chegs, said Miss Sophy to Dick Swiviller, after she had herself danced twice with Mr Cheggs and made great show of encouraging his advances. 'She's a nice girl and her brother's quite delightful. 'Quite delightful, is he? muttered Dick. 'Quite delighted too, I should say, from the manner in which he's looking this way. 'Jealous!
'No, sir, I didn't. `'Hem! said Mr Cheggs, glancing over his shoulder, 'have the goodness to smile again, sir. Perhaps you wished to speak to me, sir. 'No, sir, I didn't do that, either. 'Perhaps you may have nothing to say to me now, sir, said Mr Cheggs fiercely.
Mr Cheggs hastened to tender his hand to Miss Sophy, and Mr Swiviller sat himself down in a corner in a very moody state.
'Sophy Wackles, screamed the dwarf, 'Miss Sophy Wackles that is Mrs Richard Swiveller that shall be that shall be ha ha ha! 'Ah! said Dick, 'you might have said that a few weeks ago, but it won't do now, my buck. Immolating herself upon the shrine of Cheggs 'Poison Cheggs, cut Cheggs's ears off, rejoined Quilp. 'I won't hear of Cheggs. Her name is Swiveller or nothing.
There's my hand upon it; I am your friend from this minute. 'What! do you think there's still a chance? inquired Dick, in surprise at this encouragement. 'A chance! echoed the dwarf, 'a certainty! Sophy Wackles may become a Cheggs or anything else she likes, but not a Swiveller. Oh you lucky dog! He's richer than any Jew alive; you're a made man.
'Did you speak to me, sir? said Mr Cheggs, following him into a corner. 'Have the kindness to smile, sir, in order that we may not be suspected. Did you speak to me, sir'?
Like his impudence! said Richard Swiviller. 'His impudence, Mr Swiviller! said Miss Jane, tossing her head. 'Take care he don't hear you, sir, or you may be sorry for it. 'Oh, pray, Jane said Miss Sophy. 'Nonsense! replied her sister. 'Why shouldn't Mr Cheggs be jealous if he likes? I like that, certainly.
Here was the very thing he wanted, here was good cause reason and foundation for pretending to be angry; but having this cause reason and foundation which he had come expressly to seek, not expecting to find, Richard Swiveller was angry in sound earnest, and wondered what the devil Cheggs meant by his impudence.
