Having dined as plainly as the establishment and the Courier would let him, and having taken a short sleep by the fire for his better recovery from Mrs Finching, he set out in a hackney-cabriolet alone. The deep bell of St Paul's was striking nine as he passed under the shadow of Temple Bar, headless and forlorn in these degenerate days.
'No one could dispute, Arthur Mr Clennam that it's quite right you should be formally friendly to me under the altered circumstances and indeed you couldn't be anything else, at least I suppose not you ought to know, but I can't help recalling that there was a time when things were very different. 'My dear Mrs Finching, Arthur began, struck by the good tone again.
Finching lately, and whether the baby has turned out a finer one than it promised to be. ‘Oh dear!’ cries the plausible lady, ‘you cannot think how often Bobtail and I have talked about poor Mrs.
'Mrs Finching has been telling me, sir, said Arthur, after making his acknowledgments; the relict of the late Mr F. meanwhile protesting, with a gesture, against his use of that respectable name; 'that she hopes occasionally to employ the young needlewoman you recommended to my mother. For which I have been thanking her.
The moment he was gone, Arthur released Mrs Finching: with some difficulty, by reason of that lady misunderstanding his intentions, and making arrangements with a view to tightening instead of slackening. 'Affery, speak to me now! 'Don't touch me, Arthur! she cried, shrinking from him. 'Don't come near me. He'll see you. Jeremiah will. Don't.
This will supply the rest of them here with something new to talk about. Casby, Arthur tells me 'Stay, mother! Stay, stay! He interrupted her hastily, for it had not entered his imagination that she would openly proclaim what he had told her. 'What now? she said with displeasure. 'What more? 'I beg you to excuse me, Mr Casby and you, too, Mrs Finching for one other moment with my mother
But she begged me to say, sir, that she had formerly the honour of being acquainted with Miss Dorrit. The lady said, sir, the youngest Miss Dorrit. Mr Dorrit knitted his brows and rejoined, after a moment or two, 'Inform Mrs Finching, sir, emphasising the name as if the innocent man were solely responsible for it, 'that she can come up.
Why not, jade! Thus expostulated with, she came unwillingly out of her corner, resigned the toasting-fork into one of her husband's hands, and took the candlestick he offered from the other. 'Go before, you fool! said Jeremiah. 'Are you going up, or down, Mrs Finching? Flora answered, 'Down. 'Then go before, and down, you Affery, said Jeremiah.
'Dear dear, said Flora, 'only to think of the changes at home Arthur cannot overcome it, and seems so natural, Mr Clennam far more proper since you became familiar with the Chinese customs and language which I am persuaded you speak like a Native if not better for you were always quick and clever though immensely difficult no doubt, I am sure the tea chests alone would kill me if I tried, such changes Arthur I am doing it again, seems so natural, most improper as no one could have believed, who could have ever imagined Mrs Finching when I can't imagine it myself!
Positively you must not let her see one of these beautiful dears again, or you’ll break her heart, you will indeed.—Heaven bless this child, see how she is looking in my face! can you conceive anything prettier than that? If poor Mrs. Finching could only hope—but that’s impossible—and the gifts of Providence, you know—What did I do with my pocket-handkerchief!’
