Creeping from the house, and slinking off like a thief; groping with his hands, when first he got into the street, as if he were a blind man; and looking often over his shoulder while he hurried away, as though he were followed in imagination or reality by someone anxious to question or detain him; Ralph Nickleby left the city behind him, and took the road to his own home.
'When she was at school in Devonshire, she was universally allowed to be beyond all exception the very cleverest girl there, and there were a great many very clever ones too, and that's the truth twenty-five young ladies, fifty guineas a year without the et-ceteras, both the Miss Dowdles the most accomplished, elegant, fascinating creatures Oh dear me! said Mrs Nickleby, 'I never shall forget what pleasure she used to give me and her poor dear papa, when she was at that school, never such a delightful letter every half-year, telling us that she was the first pupil in the whole establishment, and had made more progress than anybody else!
'You'll have plenty of it, in your time, returned Sir Mulberry Hawk; 'Nickleby will tell you that. 'What do you say, Nickleby? inquired the young man; 'am I to be a good customer?

They must be somewhere in the vicinity of Indian Creek by now.
Washing her hands, thus, of all responsibility under this head, past, present, or to come, Mrs Nickleby kindly added that she hoped her children might never have greater cause to reproach themselves than she had, and prepared herself to receive the escort, who soon returned with the intelligence that the old gentleman was safely housed, and that they found his custodians, who had been making merry with some friends, wholly ignorant of his absence.

That gentleman has lost his senses, and I am the unhappy cause. 'YOU the cause! said Kate, greatly astonished. 'I, my love, replied Mrs Nickleby, with a desperate calmness.
