"Thank you, sir," rejoined the ready Pedgift, "in my son's name and my own, for a handsome compliment to the firm. If you really wish to be of assistance to Miss Neelie," he went on, more seriously, "I have shown you the way. You can do nothing to quiet her anxiety which I have not done already.
Go on abusing Miss Gwilt. I like to hear you I hate her, too!" "You, mamma!" exclaimed Neelie, looking at her mother in astonishment. For a moment Mrs. Milroy hesitated before she said more. Some last-left instinct of her married life in its earlier and happier time pleaded hard with her to respect the youth and the sex of her child.
Strange and incomprehensible as Sophie's assertion was, she did not think of doubting but that in some way it must be true. Sophie continued: "Before I went to sleep, I prayed God to send my spirit to him; and we have been together. Neelie, he is coming back!" "Coming back! Sophie, coming back! For what?" "Don't look so frightened, my darling. He will tell you why when he gets here.
"My dear fellow!" cried Allan, "I don't mind a rattling window. Let's change rooms. Nonsense! Why should you make excuses to me? Don't I know how easily trifles upset those excitable nerves of yours? Now the doctor has quieted my mind about my poor little Neelie, I begin to feel the journey; and I'll answer for sleeping anywhere till to-morrow comes." He took up his traveling-bag.

As I was going to say, I've been so indisposed that I've been obliged to pet myself up a little here, before starting on our tour, you know, but in a week I mean to be well again I will be. Oh! I have immense resolution, dear Neelie immense fortitude, where those I love are concerned. There, this is your little nest now one more kiss. Oh! those sweet lips! Remember you sit by me at dinner."
At one moment he started up, with the tears in his eyes, and declared that his 'darling Neelie' was an angel on earth. At another he sat down sulkily, and thought that a girl of her spirit might have run away on the spot and joined him in London.
I could write better English myself." "We are not at the end of it yet," said Neelie. "The Void is nothing to what is to come." "Whatever it is," rejoined Allan, "we'll treat it like a dose of physic we'll take it at once, and be done with it."
But adverse fortune had decreed that she should select for her victims two men essentially unassailable under existing circumstances. Allan was too innocent of all knowledge of female subtleties and susceptibilities to understand anything, except that the charming Neelie was unreasonably out of temper with him without the slightest cause.
In two seconds the art of medicine occupied the place left vacant in the attention of the company by the art of music. "Rub it gently, Sammy," said Mrs. Pentecost. "I'll get out the bottles and give you a dose. It's his poor stomach, major. Hold my trumpet, somebody and stop the boat. You take that bottle, Neelie, my dear; and you take this one, Mr. Armadale; and give them to me as I want them.
