'Why, I really don't know, rejoined that lady, 'whether I am justified in calling it so. It is not a Preparatory School by any means.
There were two of the traitor's own blood his renounced brother and sister on whom the weight of his guilt rested almost more heavily, at this time, than on the man whom he had so deeply injured. Prying and tormenting as the world was, it did Mr Dombey the service of nerving him to pursuit and revenge.
For the matter of that but Mrs Chick didn't know it he had been pretty well blighted by the dress already; and as to the education, even its retributive effect might be produced in time, for it was a storm of sobs and blows.

Her fame had preceded her thither, and Fairfax was instructed to secure a box for the Dombey family. How proud he would have been to clasp her to his heart and call her his own; but he had willfully put her away from him, and now, even could he receive her into his family, would her adopted father be willing to give her up again.
