The old lord, evidently much flattered by this suspicion, bestowed a grotesque leer upon Kate as he passed; and, receiving another tap with the parasol for his wickedness, tottered downstairs to the door, where his sprightly body was hoisted into the carriage by two stout footmen. 'Foh! said Madame Mantalini, 'how he ever gets into a carriage without thinking of a hearse, I can't think.
'I will never break its heart, I will be a good boy, and never do so any more; I will never be naughty again; I beg its little pardon, said Mr Mantalini, dropping the handle of the mangle, and folding his palms together; 'it is all up with its handsome friend! He has gone to the demnition bow-wows. It will have pity? It will not scratch and claw, but pet and comfort? Oh, demmit!
"Her dresses were made at the distinguished establishment of Madame Mantalini, in Hanover Square; at least she was in the habit of getting one dress there every other season, and this was quite sufficient among her friends to give her a reputation for dealing in the proper quarter.
Mantalini, "a demnition damp, unpleasant corpse of him." "He wants to be a locksmith!" burst out Cervoni. "To learn how to pick locks, I suppose," he added with sardonic bitterness. "Why not let him be a locksmith?" I ventured. "Who would teach him?" he cried. "Where could I leave him?" he asked, with a drop in his voice; and I had my first glimpse of genuine despair. "He steals, you know, alas!
'Why will it vex itself, and twist its little face into bewitching nutcrackers? said Mantalini, putting his left arm round the waist of his life and soul, and drawing her towards him with his right. 'Oh! I can't bear you, replied his wife. 'Not eh, not bear ME! exclaimed Mantalini. 'Fibs, fibs. It couldn't be.
'It was nobody's fault; it was mine as much as yours, we shall do very well yet. Come, Alfred, come. Mr Mantalini did not think proper to come to, all at once; but, after calling several times for poison, and requesting some lady or gentleman to blow his brains out, gentler feelings came upon him, and he wept pathetically.
'Well, now, indeed, Madame Mantalini, said Miss Knag, as Kate was taking her weary way homewards on the first night of her novitiate; 'that Miss Nickleby is a very creditable young person a very creditable young person indeed hem upon my word, Madame Mantalini, it does very extraordinary credit even to your discrimination that you should have found such a very excellent, very well-behaved, very hem very unassuming young woman to assist in the fitting on.
'Have I cut my heart into a demd extraordinary number of little pieces, and given them all away, one after another, to the same little engrossing demnition captivater, and can I live to be suspected by her? Demmit, no I can't. 'Ask Mr Nickleby whether the sum I have mentioned is not a proper one, reasoned Madame Mantalini.
Mantalini would have described as "a demmed moist unpleasant body" on the upper deck of the Armed Merchant Cruiser. With the assistance of two attentive sailors Cecily rose giddily to her feet; most of her hair-pins had come out, and her hair streamed in wet ringlets over her shoulders.
"I do most cordially hope that the beastly vulgarian who shaped it has gone, as my friend Mantalini would express it, 'to the demnition bow-wows.
