'I shouldn't have objected, returned Mr Flintwinch, 'to your having broken your neck consequentementally. 'And now, said Mr Pancks, whose eye had often stealthily wandered to the window-seat and the stocking that was being mended there, 'I've only one other word to say before I go.
'I mean, he took away no money with him, for example, said Mr Dorrit. 'He took away none of ours, sir, and got none here. 'I suppose, observed Mr Dorrit, glancing from Mrs Clennam to Mr Flintwinch, and from Mr Flintwinch to Mrs Clennam, 'you have no way of accounting to yourself for this mystery? 'Why do you suppose so? rejoined Mrs Clennam.
Mr Flintwinch, therefore, wormed himself up the staircase, and Mr Blandois followed close. They ascended to the great garret bed-room which Arthur had occupied on the night of his return. 'There, Mr Blandois! said Jeremiah, showing it, 'I hope you may think that worth coming so high to see. I confess I don't.
'What have you been dreaming of? Wake up, wake up! What's the matter? 'The the matter, Jeremiah? gasped Mrs Flintwinch, rolling her eyes. 'Why, Affery, woman Affery! You have been getting out of bed in your sleep, my dear! I come up, after having fallen asleep myself, below, and find you in your wrapper here, with the nightmare.
When David meets the Murdstones again it is to defy them with the health and hilarious anger that go with his happy delirium about Dora. But when Clennam re-enters his sepulchral house there is a weight upon his soul which makes it impossible for him to answer, with any spirit, the morbidities of his mother, or even the grotesque interferences of Mr. Flintwinch.
'If they hadn't been both of a mind in it, how could it ever have been? Jeremiah never courted me; t'ant likely that he would, after living in the house with me and ordering me about for as many years as he'd done. He said to me one day, he said, "Affery," he said, "now I am going to tell you something. What do you think of the name of Flintwinch?" "What do I think of it?" I says.
'After all, perhaps you would rather not have known the fact, any how? said Jeremiah; and he said it with a twist, as if his words had come out of him in his own wry shape. 'Flintwinch, said his mistress and partner, flashing into a sudden energy that made Affery start, 'why do you goad me? Look round this room.
"Yes," he said, "because you're going to take it," he said. "Take it?" I says. "Jere-MI-ah?" Oh! he's a clever one! Mrs Flintwinch went on to spread the upper sheet over the bed, and the blanket over that, and the counterpane over that, as if she had quite concluded her story. 'Well? said Arthur again. 'Well? echoed Mrs Flintwinch again. 'How could I help myself?
'What do you suppose he cares for you, you conceited woman? said Mr Flintwinch. 'I tell you, Flintwinch, I will speak. I tell you when it has come to this, I will tell it with my own lips, and will express myself throughout it. What! Have I suffered nothing in this room, no deprivation, no imprisonment, that I should condescend at last to contemplate myself in such a glass as that.
Retiring before him with vicious counter-jerks of his own elbows, Mr Flintwinch had got back into his corner, where he now stood with his hands in his pockets, taking breath, and returning Mrs Clennam's stare. 'Ha, ha, ha! But what's this? cried Rigaud. 'It appears as if you don't know, one the other. Permit me, Madame Clennam who suppresses, to present Monsieur Flintwinch who intrigues.
