Old Joe, Sir, needn't look far for a wile even now, if he was on the look-out; but he's hard-hearted, Sir, is Joe he's tough, Sir, tough, and de-vilish sly! After such a declaration, wheezing sounds would be heard; and the Major's blue would deepen into purple, while his eyes strained and started convulsively. Notwithstanding his very liberal laudation of himself, however, the Major was selfish.
'But you won't catch Joe, Ma'am, said the Major. 'He's tough, Ma'am, tough, is J.B. Tough, and de-vilish sly! over which reflection he chuckled for the rest of the day. But still, when that day and many other days were gone and past, it seemed that Miss Tox took no heed whatever of the Major, and thought nothing at all about him.

'Our friend is sly, Sir, sly, Sir, de-vilish sly, said the Major, staring round the door at Carker. 'So is Bagstock. But stopping in the midst of a chuckle, and drawing himself up to his full height, the Major solemnly exclaimed, as he struck himself on the chest, 'Dombey! I envy your feelings. God bless you! and withdrew.
