And, considering that the hour-glass they turned from year to year was filled with the earthiest and coarsest sand, the Bleeding Heart Yarders had reason enough for objecting to be despoiled of the one little golden grain of poetry that sparkled in it. Down in to the Yard, by way of the steps, came Daniel Doyce, Mr Meagles, and Clennam.
Therefore, your not exposing yourself to the remarks of our attendants by appearing to have at any time dispensed with their services and performed them for yourself, is ha highly important. 'Why, who can doubt it? cried Miss Fanny. 'It's the essence of everything. 'Fanny, returned her father, grandiloquently, 'give me leave, my dear. We then come to ha to Mr Clennam.
'Come in, come in! said Clennam. 'I saw you were reading, returned Doyce, as he entered, 'and thought you might not care to be disturbed. But for the notable resolution he had made, Clennam really might not have known what he had been reading; really might not have had his eyes upon the book for an hour past, though it lay open before him. He shut it up, rather quickly.
On one of his visits Mrs Tickit received him with the words, 'I have something to tell you, Mr Clennam, that will surprise you. So surprising was the something in question, that it actually brought Mrs Tickit out of the parlour window and produced her in the garden walk, when Clennam went in at the gate on its being opened for him. 'What is it, Mrs Tickit? said he.
'It is strange, she said, frowning, 'that you should still press an undesired interest in me and my acquaintances, in me and my affairs, Mr Clennam. I don't know what you mean. 'Pardon me.

Arthur watched her face for some explanation of what she did mean. 'Are you really serious, Mr Clennam? Don't you see? Arthur did not see; and said so. 'Why, don't I know my son, and don't I know that this is exactly the way to hold him? said Mrs Gowan, contemptuously; 'and do not these Miggles people know it, at least as well as I?

'I have not had so pleasant a greeting, said Clennam then he recalled what Little Dorrit had said to him in his own room, and faithfully added 'except once since we last walked to and fro, looking down at the Mediterranean. 'Ah! returned Mr Meagles.
A miserable blank remained in the house and in the hearts of the father and mother and Clennam. Mr Meagles called only one remembrance to his aid, that really did him good. 'It's very gratifying, Arthur, he said, 'after all, to look back upon. 'The past? said Clennam. 'Yes but I mean the company. It had made him much more low and unhappy at the time, but now it really did him good.
This conversation took place in Clennam's bed-room, while he was yet in bed. He now said he would 'go and look up Mr Rugg', from whom his excited state of mind appeared to require another back; and bundling up his papers, and exchanging one more hearty shake of the hand with Clennam, he went at full speed down-stairs, and steamed off. Clennam, of course, resolved to go direct to Mr Casby's.
