Everything prepared for holding his Court. 'Ah, Young John! How do you do, how do you do! 'Pretty well, I thank you, sir. I hope you are the same. 'Yes, John Chivery; yes. Nothing to complain of.
'I am off the Lock, Mr Clennam, and going out. Can I do anything for you? 'Many thanks. Nothing. 'You'll excuse me opening the door, said Mr Chivery; 'but I couldn't make you hear. 'Did you knock? 'Half-a-dozen times.
With these mysterious words, she preceded the visitor into a little parlour behind the shop, with a little window in it commanding a very little dull back-yard. 'Our John, said Mrs Chivery. Not to be deficient in interest, Clennam asked what he might be doing there? 'It's the only change he takes, said Mrs Chivery, shaking her head afresh.
'Now, there's an Enquiry in York, said Pancks. 'Who takes it? 'I'm not good for York, said Mr Rugg. 'Then perhaps, pursued Pancks, 'you'll be so obliging, John Chivery? Young John assenting, Pancks dealt him his card, and consulted his hand again. 'There's a Church in London; I may as well take that. And a Family Bible; I may as well take that, too. That's two to me.
Seeing that the happiness her mind could realise was all shining upon him, Arthur kept that single figure before her; and so they rode brightly through the poor streets in the prison neighbourhood to carry him the great news.

'Young John, I am very sorry to have been hasty with you, but ha some remembrances are not happy remembrances, and hum you shouldn't have come. 'I feel that now, sir, returned John Chivery; 'but I didn't before, and Heaven knows I meant no harm, sir. 'No.

Does she know your son? 'Brought up together, sir, said Mrs Chivery. 'Played together.
'Does she know your son as her admirer? 'Oh! bless you, sir, said Mrs Chivery, with a sort of triumphant shiver, 'she never could have seen him on a Sunday without knowing he was that. His cane alone would have told it long ago, if nothing else had. Young men like John don't take to ivory hands a pinting, for nothing. How did I first know it myself? Similarly.

The elder Mr. Chivery shook hands with him in a shamefaced kind of way, and said, "I don't call to mind, sir, as I was ever less glad to see you."
