Mrs Podsnap is of opinion that in these matters there should be an equality of station and fortune, and that a man accustomed to Society should look out for a woman accustomed to Society and capable of bearing her part in it with an ease and elegance of carriage that. Mrs Podsnap stops there, delicately intimating that every such man should look out for a fine woman as nearly resembling herself as he may hope to discover.
And I cannot sufficiently express to you, my dear Podsnap, the pleasure I feel in having this opinion of mine and Anastatia's so readily confirmed by you, that other equally familiar and tried friend who stands in the proud position I mean who proudly stands in the position or I ought rather to say, who places Anastatia and myself in the proud position of himself standing in the simple position of baby's godfather. And, indeed, Veneering is much relieved in mind to find that Podsnap betrays no jealousy of Twemlow's elevation.
As a delicate concession to this unfortunately-born foreigner, Mr Podsnap, in receiving him, had presented his wife as 'Madame Podsnap; also his daughter as 'Mademoiselle Podsnap, with some inclination to add 'ma fille, in which bold venture, however, he checked himself.
He never could make out why everybody was not quite satisfied, and he felt conscious that he set a brilliant social example in being particularly well satisfied with most things, and, above all other things, with himself. Thus happily acquainted with his own merit and importance, Mr Podsnap settled that whatever he put behind him he put out of existence.
He had no favourite ization that he knew of. But he certainly was more staggered by these terrible occurrences than he was by names, of howsoever so many syllables. Might he ask, was dying of destitution and neglect necessarily English? 'You know what the population of London is, I suppose, said Mr Podsnap.
Advertisement and inquiry discovered the son in the man from Somewhere, and at the present moment, he is on his way home from there no doubt, in a state of great astonishment to succeed to a very large fortune, and to take a wife. Mrs Podsnap inquires whether the young person is a young person of personal charms? Mortimer is unable to report.
One feels death enter, dignifying all things; and touched by that hand, foolish old Barkis grows great. In Uriah Heap and Mrs. Gummidge, Dickens draws types rather than characters. Pecksniff, Podsnap, Dolly Varden, Mr. Bumble, Mrs. Gamp, Mark Tapley, Turveydrop, Mrs. Jellyby these are not characters; they are human characteristics personified.
What Miss Podsnap was particularly charmed with, next to the graces of her friend, was the happiness of her friend's married life. This was frequently their theme of conversation. 'I am sure, said Miss Podsnap, 'Mr Lammle is like a lover. At least I I should think he was. 'Georgiana, darling! said Mrs Lammle, holding up a forefinger, 'Take care!
Talking of which, Veneering, why don't you prose, for you haven't opened your lips there yet, and we are dying to hear what you have got to say to us! Miss Podsnap, charmed to see you. Pa, here? No! Ma, neither? Oh! Mr Boots! Delighted. Mr Brewer! This IS a gathering of the clans.
Probably because this reason is in the air, Twemlow, far from being singular in his persuasion that he works like a Trojan, is capped by Podsnap, who in his turn is capped by Boots and Brewer.
