For the beadle, that man of power, comes early this morning with the sexton; and Mrs Miff, the wheezy little pew-opener a mighty dry old lady, sparely dressed, with not an inch of fulness anywhere about her is also here, and has been waiting at the church-gate half-an-hour, as her place is, for the beadle.

There! Well!" They had left the village behind, and Betty's solitary figure was probably unnoticed by the lovers.
The so-much-to-be-astonished Chicken, in the meanwhile, dips his beak into a tankard of strong beer, in Mr Toots's kitchen, and pecks up two pounds of beefsteaks. In Princess's Place, Miss Tox is up and doing; for she too, though in sore distress, is resolved to put a shilling in the hands of Mrs Miff, and see the ceremony which has a cruel fascination for her, from some lonely corner.

I don't doubt it: you resemble Achilles, when he and Agamemnon had their miff. What's the odds?" "I have been insulted, sir!" "Insulted?" "And tricked!" "Impossible." Jinks remained silent for a moment, looking after Verty. "Yes," he said, with an awful scowl, "that young man has robbed me of my mistress " "Who Verty?" "Yes, sir." Ralph burst out laughing.
Mr Sownds the Beadle has long risen from the steps, and is in waiting with his cocked hat in his hand. Mrs Miff curtseys and proposes chairs in the vestry. Mr Dombey prefers remaining in the church. As he looks up at the organ, Miss Tox in the gallery shrinks behind the fat leg of a cherubim on a monument, with cheeks like a young Wind.
