As Lammle, standing gathering up the skirts of his dressing-gown with his back to the fire, said this, looking down at his wife, she turned pale and looked down at the ground.
It was largely in the hands of a feverish and unfamiliar type, like Lammle and Veneering. The fact that he felt these things is almost more impressive because he did not understand them. Now for this reason Dickens must definitely be considered in the light of the changes which his soul foresaw. Thackeray has become classical; but Dickens has done more: he has remained modern.
As he says it, Mrs Lammle leaves off sketching, and looks at him. 'Restraining influence, Mr Twemlow? We must eat and drink, and dress, and have a roof over our heads. Always beside him and attached in all his fortunes? Not much to boast of in that; what can a woman at my age do?
The more they let out, the more you keep in. 'I don't object, Lammle, returned Fledgeby, with an internal chuckle, 'to being understood, though I object to being questioned. That certainly IS the way I do it. 'And when all the rest of us are discussing our ventures, none of us ever know what a single venture of yours is!
All over, that is to say, for the time being. But, there is another time to come, and it comes in about a fortnight, and it comes to Mr and Mrs Lammle on the sands at Shanklin, in the Isle of Wight.
As indeed he might, if he chose, for anything he knew of the matter. Mr and Mrs Lammle's house in Sackville Street, Piccadilly, was but a temporary residence. It has done well enough, they informed their friends, for Mr Lammle when a bachelor, but it would not do now.
'Oh ple-e-e-ease don't! Georgiana, as if the supplication were being squeezed out of her by powerful compression. 'I so hate him for saying it! 'For saying what, my dear? laughed Mrs Lammle. 'Oh, I don't know what he said, cried Georgiana wildly, 'but I hate him all the same for saying it.
After that, Mr Lammle did exactly the same thing, and drooped HIS eyes. A servant then entering with toast, the skeleton retired into the closet, and shut itself up. 'Sophronia, said Mr Lammle, when the servant had withdrawn. And then, very much louder: 'Sophronia! 'Well? 'Attend to me, if you please. He eyed her sternly until she did attend, and then went on. 'I want to take counsel with you.
And herein the unconsciousness of the Ogre Grompus was pleasantly conspicuous; for, that complacent monster, believing that he was giving Miss Podsnap a treat, prolonged to the utmost stretch of possibility a peripatetic account of an archery meeting; while his victim, heading the procession of sixteen as it slowly circled about, like a revolving funeral, never raised her eyes except once to steal a glance at Mrs Lammle, expressive of intense despair.
There's nothing more to be said, except that you undertook to do what circumstances prevent your doing. 'And that you undertook to do what you might have done by this time, if you had made a prompter use of circumstances, snarled Lammle. 'Hah! That, remarked Fledgeby, with his hands in the Turkish trousers, 'is matter of opinion.
