They came out of the avenue next moment, arm-in-arm as they had entered it: and the trees seemed to close up behind them in the darkness, like their own perspective of the past. The voices of Mr and Mrs Meagles and Doyce were audible directly, speaking near the garden gate.
And on the very day of his release, Arthur Clennam and Little Dorrit went into the neighbouring church of St. George, and were married, Doyce giving the bride away. Little Dorrit and her husband walked out of the church alone when the signing of the register was done. They paused for a moment on the steps of the portico, and then went down into the roaring streets, inseparable and blessed.
'For goodness sake let me get out of the way first, said Flora, putting her hands to her ears and moving towards the door, 'or I know I shall go off dead and screaming and make everybody worse, and the dear little thing only this morning looking so nice and neat and good and yet so poor and now a fortune is she really and deserves it too! and might I mention it to Mr F.'s Aunt Arthur not Doyce and Clennam for this once or if objectionable not on any account.
That again was very reasonable; since in a country suffering under the affliction of a great amount of earnestness, there might, in an exceeding short space of time, be not a single Barnacle left sticking to a post. Daniel Doyce faced his condition with its pains and penalties attached to it, and soberly worked on for the work's sake.
His curious sense of a general superiority to Daniel Doyce, which seemed to be founded, not so much on anything in Doyce's personal character as on the mere fact of his being an originator and a man out of the beaten track of other men, suggested the idea.
'And now I know what it is. It's Clennam. How do you do, Mr Clennam? 'I have some hope, said Arthur, as they walked on together, 'that we may be going to the same place, Mr Doyce. 'Meaning Twickenham? returned Daniel. 'I am glad to hear it. They were soon quite intimate, and lightened the way with a variety of conversation.
Doyce is a wonderful fellow over there. I assure you he is making out his case like a house a-fire. He has fallen on his legs, has Dan. Where they don't want things done and find a man to do 'em, that man's off his legs; but where they do want things done and find a man to do 'em, that man's on his legs. You won't have occasion to trouble the Circumlocution Office any more.
'I mean Mr Gowan, most decidedly, said Daniel Doyce. There was a gap in the conversation, which Clennam devoted to winding up his watch. 'Perhaps you are a little hasty in your judgment, he said. 'Our judgments I am supposing a general case 'Of course, said Doyce.
'I am glad you approve, Doyce. Now, as to the management of your capital while you are away, and as to the conversion of so much of it as the business may need from time to time His partner stopped him. 'As to that, and as to everything else of that kind, all rests with you.
Doyce darted in from behind the door, caught Arthur by both hands, and said the rest for himself. 'There are only three branches of my subject, my dear Clennam, said Doyce, proceeding to mould them severally, with his plastic thumb, on the palm of his hand, 'and they're soon disposed of. First, not a word more from you about the past. There was an error in your calculations. I know what that is.
