Mr Meagles, hove down by his good company while he highly appreciated it, was not himself. Mrs Gowan was herself, and that did not improve him. The fiction that it was not Mr Meagles who had stood in the way, but that it was the Family greatness, and that the Family greatness had made a concession, and there was now a soothing unanimity, pervaded the affair, though it was never openly expressed.
'Good! said Mr Meagles, cheerily. 'I have not a doubt that's best. I shall trust my remembrances then, my sweet nurse, in your hands, and I well know they couldn't be in better. I am off again to-morrow morning. Little Dorrit, surprised, asked him where? 'My dear, said Mr Meagles, 'I can't live without breathing.
I won't stop at five-and-twenty, sir, I'll count five-and-twenty hundred, five-and-twenty thousand! Another opening of the door, and Tattycoram subsided, and Little Dorrit came in, and Mr Meagles with pride and joy produced the box, and her gentle face was lighted up with grateful happiness and joy. The secret was safe now!
Mrs General likewise clearly understood that the attachment had occasioned much family grief and dissension. Of honest Mr Meagles no mention was made; except that it was natural enough that a person of that sort should wish to raise his daughter out of his own obscurity, and that no one could blame him for trying his best to do so.
Thus, when Daniel came back, he found the affair as good as concluded. 'And I may now avow, Mr Clennam, said he, with a cordial shake of the hand, 'that if I had looked high and low for a partner, I believe I could not have found one more to my mind. 'I say the same, said Clennam. 'And I say of both of you, added Mr Meagles, 'that you are well matched.
'And when did you last hear from or about my poor fellow? My poor fellow was her son; and this mode of speaking of him politely kept alive, without any offence in the world, the pretence that he had fallen a victim to the Meagles' wiles. 'And the dear pretty one? said Mrs Gowan. 'Have you later news of her than I have?
Mr Meagles asked, What kind of thing? 'It is in vain, said Mrs Gowan, 'for people to attempt to get on together who have such extremely different antecedents; who are jumbled against each other in this accidental, matrimonial sort of way; and who cannot look at the untoward circumstance which has shaken them together in the same light. It never does.
Except, which I own does not improve my state of mind, that even now you don't hear him complain. 'You must have great patience, said Arthur Clennam, looking at him with some wonder, 'great forbearance. 'No, he returned, 'I don't know that I have more than another man. 'By the Lord, you have more than I have, though! cried Mr Meagles.
If he were a criminal offender, he must surely be an incorrigible hypocrite; and if he were no offender, why should Mr Meagles have collared him in the Circumlocution Office?
'Don't say so, said Mr Meagles; 'you do yourself an injustice. However, to come to the point. For he was sensible of having gained nothing by approaching it in a roundabout way. 'I have heard from my friend Clennam, who, you will be sorry to hear, has been and still is very ill He paused again, and again she was silent.
