"It may be generally observed of Dombey," said Miss Blimber, reading in a loud voice, and at every second word directing her spectacles towards the little figure before her: "that his abilities and inclinations are good, and that he has made as much progress as under the circumstances could have been expected. Now, Dombey, said Miss Blimber, laying down the paper, 'do you understand that?
And what is more, added Mrs Chick with increased dignity, as if she had withheld her crushing argument until now, 'I never did think it was. Mr Dombey walked to the window and back again. But I do not. I recognise no such thing.
Whether she held cheap attractions that could only call forth admiration that was worthless to her, or whether she designed to render them more precious to admirers by this usage of them, those to whom they were precious seldom paused to consider. 'I hope, Mrs Granger, said Mr Dombey, advancing a step towards her, 'we are not the cause of your ceasing to play? 'You! oh no!

Nothing else.
'Ask Mr Feeder, if you please, Toots, said the Doctor, 'to prepare a few introductory volumes for Mr Dombey's son, and to allot him a convenient seat for study. My dear, I believe Mr Dombey has not seen the dormitories. 'If Mr Dombey will walk upstairs, said Mrs Blimber, 'I shall be more than proud to show him the dominions of the drowsy god.
