'I am not, returned Madame, with a sob. 'Do not put itself out of humour, said Mr Mantalini, breaking an egg. 'It is a pretty, bewitching little demd countenance, and it should not be out of humour, for it spoils its loveliness, and makes it cross and gloomy like a frightful, naughty, demd hobgoblin. 'I am not to be brought round in that way, always, rejoined Madame, sulkily.
Only Sir Thomas used words far more terrific than dash, for this distinguished cavalry officer swore very freely. "He amuses me; he's such a mischievous little devil," says good-natured Charley Heavyside. "It takes very little to amuse you," remarks Fogey. "You don't, Fogey," answers Charley. "I know every one of your demd old stories, that are as old as my grandmother. How-dy-do, Barney?"
'Demmit! exclaimed Mr Mantalini, opening his eyes at the sound of Ralph's voice, 'it is a horrid reality. She is sitting there before me. There is the graceful outline of her form; it cannot be mistaken there is nothing like it. The two countesses had no outlines at all, and the dowager's was a demd outline. Why is she so excruciatingly beautiful that I cannot be angry with her, even now?
Perhaps it was the warm cup of tea; perhaps it was the blazing logs; perhaps it was the shade of the lamp, which cast such a pleasant rosy tint over everything; perhaps it was the comfortable chair; perhaps it was that charming face; perhaps it was what Mr. Mantalini called the "demd total."

'I don't want to do business just now, in fact I would rather not; but as you are a friend how many bills have you there? 'Two, returned Mr Mantalini. 'What is the gross amount? 'Demd trifling five-and-seventy. 'And the dates? 'Two months, and four.

"In commerce, principally, Mosey," I replied. "Neat, begad! As I was saying, Wilcox had the demd assurance to offer me a clerkship in his new establishment. We had a few words in consequence; and shortly afterward I left Sydney, and found my way here. Have you any acquaintance in Sydney may I ask?" Being only an official of the ninth class, I received my appointment in Hay.
'It is but manner. 'It is a demd uncomfortable, private-madhouse-sort of a manner, said Mr Mantalini, picking up his cane. Ralph affected to smile, and once more inquired from whom Mr Mantalini had derived his information. 'From Pyke; and a demd, fine, pleasant, gentlemanly dog it is, replied Mantalini. 'Demnition pleasant, and a tip-top sawyer.
'It is most demnebly particular, said Mr Mantalini. 'It is to melt some scraps of dirty paper into bright, shining, chinking, tinkling, demd mint sauce. Newman uttered a significant grunt, and taking Mr Mantalini's proffered card, limped with it into his master's office.
'My life, said Mr Mantalini, 'what a demd devil of a time you have been! 'I didn't even know Mr Nickleby was here, my love, said Madame Mantalini. 'Then what a doubly demd infernal rascal that footman must be, my soul, remonstrated Mr Mantalini. 'My dear, said Madame, 'that is entirely your fault. 'My fault, my heart's joy?
