Jasper, reverend sir? That morning. 'Umps! said Mr. Grewgious. 'He didn't say he was coming, perhaps? 'Coming where? 'Anywhere, for instance? said Mr. Grewgious. 'No. 'Because here he is, said Mr. Grewgious, who had asked all these questions, with his preoccupied glance directed out at window. 'And he don't look agreeable, does he?

Neville, I believe you tell your sister everything that passes between us? 'Everything, sir. 'Consequently, said Mr. Crisparkle, 'your sister is aware that I have repeatedly urged you to make some kind of apology for that unfortunate occurrence which befell on the night of your arrival here.
