Grewgious, after several times running out, and in again, to mention such supplementary items as marmalade, eggs, watercresses, salted fish, and frizzled ham, ran across to Furnival's without his hat, to give his various directions. And soon afterwards they were realised in practice, and the board was spread. 'Lord bless my soul, cried Mr.
Crisparkle had just enough of harmless vanity to hope that he had hit hard, and to glow with the belief that he had trimmed the Philanthropic Jacket pretty handsomely. He took himself to Staple Inn, but not to P. J. T. and Mr. Grewgious.
I am a particularly Angular man, proceeded Mr. Grewgious, as if it suddenly occurred to him to mention it, 'and I am not used to give anything away. If, for these two reasons, some competent Proxy would give YOU away, I should take it very kindly. Rosa intimated, with her eyes on the ground, that she thought a substitute might be found, if required. 'Surely, surely, said Mr. Grewgious.
'I look, said Edwin, smiling, 'as if I had come to stop. By the by, cried Mr. Grewgious; 'excuse my interrupting you; do stop. The fog may clear in an hour or two. We can have dinner in from just across Holborn. You had better take your Cayenne pepper here than outside; pray stop and dine.
'Of attention! said Mr. Grewgious. 'Ah! of course, not of impatience? 'Impatience, sir? Mr. Grewgious had meant to be arch not that he in the remotest degree expressed that meaning and had brought himself into scarcely supportable proximity with the fire, as if to burn the fullest effect of his archness into himself, as other subtle impressions are burnt into hard metals.
Grewgious, calmly observing these phenomena, warmed his hands at the fire for some time before he called in Jasper's landlady. Grewgious now knows by Jasper's behaviour that he believes himself to have committed a superfluous crime, by murdering Edwin, who no longer stood between him and Rosa, as their engagement was already at an end.
'I did not mean that, Rosa replied. 'I mean, I feel so safe from him. 'There is a stout gate of iron bars to keep him out, said Mr. Grewgious, smiling; 'and Furnival's is fire-proof, and specially watched and lighted, and I live over the way! In the stoutness of his knight-errantry, he seemed to think the last-named protection all sufficient.
Grewgious, with a bend of his head towards the corner window, 'our warmest acknowledgments are due, and I am sure are rendered, to the maternal kindness and the constant care and consideration of the lady whom I have now the honour to see before me. This point, again, made but a lame departure from Mr.
But his archness suddenly flying before the composed face and manner of his visitor, and only the fire remaining, he started and rubbed himself. 'I have lately been down yonder, said Mr. Grewgious, rearranging his skirts; 'and that was what I referred to, when I said I could tell you you are expected. 'Indeed, sir! Yes; I knew that Pussy was looking out for me.
Grewgious often smoothed his head while it was in progress, and begged to be told a second time those parts which bore on Helena and Neville. When Rosa had finished, he sat grave, silent, and meditative for a while. 'Clearly narrated, was his only remark at last, 'and, I hope, clearly put away here, smoothing his head again. 'See, my dear, taking her to the open window, 'where they live!
