It shall be made to pay; don't you be afraid. Good-day, Miss Jenny. 'Good-day, young man. Mr Fledgeby's prepossessing form withdrew itself; and the little dressmaker, clipping and snipping and stitching, and stitching and snipping and clipping, fell to work at a great rate; musing and muttering all the time. 'Misty, misty, misty. Can't make it out. Little Eyes and the wolf in a conspiracy?
'And I know what that is, love, said she. 'You do, my darling that I came into the room all but uttering young Fledgeby's name. Tell Georgiana, dearest, about young Fledgeby. 'Oh no, don't! Please don't! cried Miss Podsnap, putting her fingers in her ears. 'I'd rather not.
Perceiving, as Fledgeby's affronts cumulated, that conciliation by no means answered the purpose here, he now directed a scowling look into Fledgeby's small eyes for the effect of the opposite treatment. Satisfied by what he saw there, he burst into a violent passion and struck his hand upon the table, making the china ring and dance.
It is a part of the true nobility of the poor gentleman's soul to say this last sentence. 'Otherwise, he has reflected, 'I shall assume the superior position of having no difficulties of my own, while I know of hers. Which would be mean, very mean. 'Was Mr Fledgeby's advocacy as effectual in your case as in ours? Mrs Lammle demands. 'As ineffectual.
An unexpected sort of place this to meet in; but one never knows, when one gets into the City, what people one may knock up against. I hope you have your health, and are enjoying yourself. There might have been a touch of impertinence in the last words; on the other hand, it might have been but the native grace of Mr Fledgeby's manner.
Miss Wren with a fallen countenance sat behind the door looking thoughtfully at the ground, and the long and patient silence had again set in for some time, when the expression of Mr Fledgeby's face betokened that through the upper portion of the door, which was of glass, he saw some one faltering on the brink of the counting-house.
It is one of the easiest achievements in life to offend your family when your family want to get rid of you. Fledgeby's mother's family had been very much offended with her for being poor, and broke with her for becoming comparatively rich. Fledgeby's mother's family was the Snigsworth family.
Fledgeby's small eyes opened so wide that they might have passed for ordinary-sized eyes, as he stared about him for the very young person whom he supposed to be in question. 'But you're not a parent, said Miss Wren, 'and consequently it's of no use talking to you upon a family subject. To what am I to attribute the honour and favour?
Mr Riah, if you would have the kindness to step into the next room for a few moments while I speak with Mr Lammle here, I should like to try to make terms with you once again before you go. The old man, who had never raised his eyes during the whole transaction of Mr Fledgeby's joke, silently bowed and passed out by the door which Fledgeby opened for him.
At length the door stood open, and Mr Fledgeby's retreating drapery plunged into bed again. Following it at a respectful distance, Riah passed into the bed-chamber, where a fire had been sometime lighted, and was burning briskly.
