No one knows what I suffered at Madame Sauteuse's, where I learnt to dance and make presentation-curtseys, and other dreadful things or at least where they tried to teach me. Ma can do it. 'At any rate, my love, said Mrs Lammle, soothingly, 'that's over. 'Yes, it's over, returned Miss Podsnap, 'but there's nothing gained by that. It's worse here, than at Madame Sauteuse's.
Indeed it is not even an opinion, darling, for it is only a confession of my dullness. 'Oh YOU are not dull, returned Miss Podsnap. 'I am dull, but you couldn't have made me talk if you were.
Said Mr Podsnap to Mrs Podsnap, 'Georgiana is almost eighteen. Said Mrs Podsnap to Mr Podsnap, assenting, 'Almost eighteen. Said Mr Podsnap then to Mrs Podsnap, 'Really I think we should have some people on Georgiana's birthday.

The foreign gentleman admired it. 'You find it Very Large? said Mr Podsnap, spaciously. The foreign gentleman found it very large. 'And Very Rich?
