I am the last man to intrude into a sphere for which I am so entirely unfitted. I feel, on these premises, as if I was a bear with the cramp in a youthful Cotillon. His ungainliness gave him enough of the air of his simile to set Rosa off laughing heartily. 'It strikes you in the same light, said Mr. Grewgious, with perfect calmness. 'Just so. To return to my memorandum. Mr.
Nothing occurred in the night to flutter the tired dove; and the dove arose refreshed. With Mr. Grewgious, when the clock struck ten in the morning, came Mr. Crisparkle, who had come at one plunge out of the river at Cloisterham.
Which, to the best of my belief, is not the case. Edwin had turned red and turned white, as certain points of this picture came into the light. He now sat looking at the fire, and bit his lip. 'The speculations of an Angular man, resumed Mr. Grewgious, still sitting and speaking exactly as before, 'are probably erroneous on so globular a topic. Pray am I at all near the mark in my picture?
Mr. Proctor insists that this is the only explanation of Grewgious's conduct, any other "is absolutely impossible." In that case the experiment of Grewgious was not made to gain information from Jasper's demeanour, but was the beginning of his punishment, and was intended by Grewgious to be so.

Fortunately his eye was on the front of the house and not the back, or this remarkable appearance and disappearance might have broken his rest as a phenomenon. But Mr. Grewgious seeing nothing there, not even a light in the windows, his gaze wandered from the windows to the stars, as if he would have read in them something that was hidden from him.
Grewgious, infinitely gratified; 'it is I who thank you for your charming confidence and for your charming company. I hope you don't feel very strange indeed, in this strange place. 'O no, I feel so safe! 'Yes, you may be sure that the stairs are fire-proof, said Mr. Grewgious, 'and that any outbreak of the devouring element would be perceived and suppressed by the watchmen.
