She is quite small boneded, and middlin' good lookin' for a women of her years. She has got big dark eyes, very soft and mellow lookin' in expression and a look deep down into 'em, as if she had been waitin' for something, for some time.

"Ah, Mr. Weller," says the gen'l'm'n in the chair, "glad to see you, sir; how are you?" "Wery well, thank 'ee, Sir," says my father; "I hope you're pretty middlin," says he.
He had pink-like cheeks an' shiny little eyes, an' he was middlin' well crowded with part of the wet goods I had been payin' for.
