'He's a ill-conditioned, wicious, bad-disposed porochial child that, said Mr. Bumble angrily. 'Where is he? 'I'll bring him to you in one minute, sir, replied Mrs. Mann. 'Here, you Dick! After some calling, Dick was discovered. Having had his face put under the pump, and dried upon Mrs. Mann's gown, he was led into the awful presence of Mr. Bumble, the beadle.
It moves one's sense of the absurd to compare the desolate condition of the Goldland, which is to supply the money, with the civilised machinery in England which is to work it, companies and syndicates, shares, debentures, and what not. I have treated the subject of Axim with a minuteness that is almost 'porochial; its future importance must be my excuse.
'Oh, Mrs. Corney, what an Angel you are! The lady was not proof against this burst of feeling. She sank into Mr. Bumble's arms; and that gentleman in his agitation, imprinted a passionate kiss upon her chaste nose. 'Such porochial perfection! exclaimed Mr. Bumble, rapturously. 'You know that Mr. Slout is worse to-night, my fascinator? 'Yes, replied Mrs. Corney, bashfully.
She used to call me 'Jacob Diggs, because of my porochial office, with a meaning of a joke on my parenshal name. Ah, what a merry one she were! And now this is what I has to do for her! And sooner would I 'a doed it a'most for my own old ooman!" "Oh, Jacob!"
'The sin and wickedness of the lower orders in this porochial district is frightful! If Parliament don't take their abominable courses under consideration, this country's ruined, and the character of the peasantry gone for ever! With these words, the beadle strode, with a lofty and gloomy air, from the undertaker's premises.
Bumble; not sitting upon, or dropping himself into a seat, as any common jackanapes would: but letting himself gradually and slowly down into a chair; 'Mrs. Mann, ma'am, good morning. 'Well, and good morning to you, sir, replied Mrs. Mann, with many smiles; 'and hoping you find yourself well, sir! 'So-so, Mrs. Mann, replied the beadle. 'A porochial life is not a bed of roses, Mrs. Mann.
Bumble, grasping his cane, 'to keep the parish officers a waiting at your garden-gate, when they come here upon porochial business with the porochial orphans? Are you aweer, Mrs. Mann, that you are, as I may say, a porochial delegate, and a stipendiary? 'I'm sure Mr. Bumble, that I was only a telling one or two of the dear children as is so fond of you, that it was you a coming, replied Mrs.
You were beadle here, once; were you not? 'I was, said Mr. Bumble, in some surprise; 'porochial beadle. 'Just so, rejoined the other, nodding his head. 'It was in that character I saw you. What are you now? 'Master of the workhouse, rejoined Mr. Bumble, slowly and impressively, to check any undue familiarity the stranger might otherwise assume. 'Master of the workhouse, young man!
Brownlow, 'except that it remains for us to take care that neither of you is employed in a situation of trust again. You may leave the room. 'I hope, said Mr. Bumble, looking about him with great ruefulness, as Mr. Grimwig disappeared with the two old women: 'I hope that this unfortunate little circumstance will not deprive me of my porochial office? 'Indeed it will, replied Mr. Brownlow.
'Can't you look at the gentleman, you obstinate boy? said Mrs. Mann. The child meekly raised his eyes, and encountered those of Mr. Bumble. 'What's the matter with you, porochial Dick? inquired Mr. Bumble, with well-timed jocularity. 'Nothing, sir, replied the child faintly. 'I should think not, said Mrs. Mann, who had of course laughed very much at Mr. Bumble's humour.
