'Yes, yes, returned Clennam; 'I remember now. Daniel Doyce, still wiping his forehead, ploddingly repeated. 'Yes. He was there, he was there. Oh yes, he was there. And his dog. He was there too. 'Miss Meagles is quite attached to the dog, observed Clennam. 'Quite so, assented his partner. 'More attached to the dog than I am to the man. 'You mean Mr ?
A well a it's of no use to disguise the fact you must know, Mr Clennam, that it does sometimes occur that people who come here desire to offer some little Testimonial to the Father of the place. To see her hand upon his arm in mute entreaty half-repressed, and her timid little shrinking figure turning away, was to see a sad, sad sight.
'Mr Clennam, I am glad to see you. How have you been since we met?
One wintry Saturday when Clennam was at the cottage, the Dowager Mrs Gowan drove up, in the Hampton Court equipage which pretended to be the exclusive equipage of so many individual proprietors. She descended, in her shady ambuscade of green fan, to favour Mr and Mrs Meagles with a call. 'And how do you both do, Papa and Mama Meagles? said she, encouraging her humble connections.
'I must not make a martyr of myself, when I am one of so large a company. 'Relinquish it, or begin it all over again? mused Clennam. 'That was exactly the long and the short of it, said Doyce. 'Then, my friend, cried Clennam, starting up and taking his work-roughened hand, 'it shall be begun all over again! Doyce looked alarmed, and replied in a hurry for him, 'No, no. Better put it by.

What can you expect from a poor foreigner who don't know nothing about 'em! 'Is this a foreigner? said Clennam, leaning forward to look.
Clennam in return implied his hope that Mr F. had endowed the wife whom he adored, with the greater part of his worldly substance, if not with all. Flora said, oh yes, she didn't mean that, Mr F. had made a beautiful will, but he had left her as a separate legacy, his Aunt. She then went out of the room to fetch the legacy, and, on her return, rather triumphantly presented 'Mr F.'s Aunt.
'Not a word to any one but me, Cavalletto. 'Al-tro! cried Cavalletto. And was gone with great speed. Mistress Affery makes a Conditional Promise, respecting her Dreams Left alone, with the expressive looks and gestures of Mr Baptist, otherwise Giovanni Baptista Cavalletto, vividly before him, Clennam entered on a weary day.
The Father of the Marshalsea condescended towards his brother as an amiable, well-meaning man; a private character, who had not arrived at distinction. 'Frederick, said he, 'you and Fanny sup at your lodgings to-night, I know. What have you done with Fanny, Frederick? 'She is walking with Tip. 'Tip as you may know is my son, Mr Clennam.
'I don't so much mind that, once in a way, remarked Mr Edward; 'but your Clennam, as he thinks proper to call himself, is another thing. 'He is part of the same thing, returned Miss Fanny, 'and of a piece with all the rest. He obtruded himself upon us in the first instance. We never wanted him.
