As there was no moving him, Daniel Doyce returned the grasp of his hand, and, casting a farewell look round the counting-house, went down-stairs with him. Doyce was to go to Southampton to join the small staff of his fellow-travellers; and a coach was at the gate, well furnished and packed, and ready to take him there. The workmen were at the gate to see him off, and were mightily proud of him.
When they had both accosted it, and spoken many kind words, Little Dorrit turned back one last time with her hand stretched out, saying, 'Good-bye, good John! I hope you will live very happy, dear! Then they went up the steps of the neighbouring Saint George's Church, and went up to the altar, where Daniel Doyce was waiting in his paternal character.
"I was about to add, because I knew from past experience there would be little of it to hoard, even in a ginger-jar. James Early was not as prompt a payer as collector," dryly. "No, I took back my baby because we all missed her so, especially Leon, who had wailed all day and half the night, calling on 'Doyce! Doyce! even in his dreams, poor little man! It was the end of the second day when Mr.
He applied to Daniel Doyce for help, as they stood together, looking out of window. 'You know Mr Gowan? he said in a low voice. 'I have seen him here. Comes here every Sunday when they are at home. 'An artist, I infer from what he says? 'A sort of a one, said Daniel Doyce, in a surly tone. 'What sort of a one? asked Clennam, with a smile.
When he had gone to his own room, and had again thrown himself into the chair by the fire, Mr Doyce knocked at the door, candle in hand, to ask him how and at what hour he proposed returning on the morrow? After settling this question, he said a word to Mr Doyce about this Gowan who would have run in his head a good deal, if he had been his rival.
'I don't know that, returned Doyce, 'and I wouldn't have you say that. No man of sense who has been generally improved, and has improved himself, can be called quite uneducated as to anything. I don't particularly favour mysteries. I would as soon, on a fair and clear explanation, be judged by one class of man as another, provided he had the qualification I have named.
'Are they well? he asked. 'Yes, said Doyce; 'they are well. They are all well. Daniel had an old workmanlike habit of carrying his pocket-handkerchief in his hat. He took it out and wiped his forehead with it, slowly repeating, 'They are all well. Miss Minnie looking particularly well, I thought. 'Any company at the cottage?
He derived this impression from something in the turn of the head, and in the figure's action of consideration, as it went on at a sufficiently sturdy walk. But when the man for it was a man's figure pushed his hat up at the back of his head, and stopped to consider some object before him, he knew it to be Daniel Doyce. 'How do you do, Mr Doyce? said Clennam, overtaking him.
'Pancks? said Doyce, tilting up his hat at the back, and nodding with an air of confidence. 'Aye, aye, aye! That's a cautious fellow. 'He is a very cautious fellow indeed, returned Arthur. 'Quite a specimen of caution. They both appeared to derive a larger amount of satisfaction from the cautious character of Mr Pancks, than was quite intelligible, judged by the surface of their conversation.
At length they being among the trees, Mr Meagles stopped short, and said: 'Mr Clennam, will you do me the favour to look at this man? His name is Doyce, Daniel Doyce. You wouldn't suppose this man to be a notorious rascal; would you? 'I certainly should not. It was really a disconcerting question, with the man there. 'No. You would not. I know you would not.
