Even Mr Mantalini felt their influence, and turning affrighted round, exclaimed: 'What a demd horrid croaking! 'You will pay no attention, if you please, to what Mr Mantalini says, observed his wife, addressing Miss Nickleby. 'I do not, ma'am, said Kate, with quiet contempt.
Such a demd extraordinary out-of-the-way kind of thing as never was eh? 'What do you mean? asked Ralph. 'Don't you know, demmit? asked Mr Mantalini.
Life is all, as Mantalini said, one 'demd horrid grind. 'Nothing here but working and going to church, said the German emigrants, and they were about right.
