I have never believed in that excessive intuition which is so widely boasted for woman. "I never dreamed of it," she said again, and added: "Mrs. Kenner and I were talking about this dress only last night and I said I never, never dreamed of such a thing!" She broke off with sudden inconsequence, as women will. We had now to quiet the nipper in his box.
She spoke, too, in the nursery, of his 'blessed legs, and was again troubled by his spectre in uniform. 'I don't know what I wouldn't give, said Polly, 'to see the poor little dear before he gets used to 'em. 'Why, then, I tell you what, Mrs Richards, retorted Nipper, who had been admitted to her confidence, 'see him and make your mind easy. 'Mr Dombey wouldn't like it, said Polly.

'You might keep me in a strait-waistcoat for six weeks, said Nipper, 'and when I got it off I'd only be more aggravated, who ever heard the like of them two Griffins, Mrs Richards? 'And then to talk of having been dreaming, poor dear! said Polly. 'Oh you beauties! cried Susan Nipper, affecting to salute the door by which the ladies had departed. 'Never be a Dombey won't she?
He made a dive at the whiskey cask, and drank a pretty stiff nipper before he could compose himself.

"Well, smokin' makes, a feller feel kinder good-natured, and I began to think it warn't quite so bad arter all, when whop went my cigar right out of my mouth into my bosom, atween the shirt and the skin, and burnt me like a gally nipper.
Price ran away with a baker's apprentice at Buckfastleigh and was never heard of again. And since you've seen the Hound, Parsloe, I hope good will come to you." Neither of t'other men had heard the tale and Harry Wade was very interested, because he minded that, when a nipper, his mother had told him something about it.
'Gone already! 'Yes. He went for the first time yesterday, for fear he should lose any learning. But it's half-holiday, Polly: if you could only stop till he comes home you and Miss Nipper, leastways, said Jemima, mindful in good time of the dignity of the black-eyed. 'And how does he look, Jemima, bless him! faltered Polly.
Returning to his uncle's with Miss Nipper, Walter found that Florence, much refreshed by sleep, had dined and come to be on terms of perfect confidence and ease with old Sol.
