"You have told me that you and he understand each other. What have you to dread after that?" "I have to dread Madame Pratolungo's influence, and my brother's infatuation for you," he answered. "The promises which he has honestly made to me, are promises which I cannot depend on when my back is turned, and when Madame Pratolungo may be with him in my absence.
Two surgeon-optic to one pretty Miss English surgeon-optic; German surgeon-optic hey! between us we shall cure this nice girls. Madame Pratolungo, here is my odder arms at your service. Hey! what? You look at my coatsleeve. He is shabby-greasy I am ashamed of him. No matter. You have got Mr. Sebrights to look at in the odder rooms. He is spick-span, beautiful-new. Come! Forwards! Marsch!"
Madame Pratolungo will do the same at My request I am sure. We shall make even dull Dimchurch agreeable to our new neighbor before we have done. What does the poet say? 'Fixed to no spot is happiness sincere; 'tis nowhere to be found, or everywhere. How cheering! how true! Good day; good day." The glasses left off jingling. Mr. Finch's wizen little legs took him out of the room.
I remarked one born gentleman among the inhabitants, and he was a sheep-dog. He alone did the honors of the place. He had a stump of a tail, which he wagged at me with extreme difficulty, and a good honest white and black face which he poked companionably into my hand. "Welcome, Madame Pratolungo, to Dimchurch; and excuse these male and female laborers who stand and stare at you.
He is nice-cool in two different ways; nice-cool, to the eye, nice-cool to the taste! Soh! we will break into his inside. Madame Pratolungo, you shall begin. Here goes for the liver-wings!"

"The same." "The German gentleman whom you propose to introduce to Oscar and Lucilla?" "Yes." "May I ask who he is?"
As for your conduct in this matter, I see nothing but what is mean, nothing but what is cowardly, in the motive which has led you." He started to his feet, and flung his cigar into the empty fireplace. "Madame Pratolungo," he said, "I have not the honor of knowing anything of your family. I can't call a woman to account for insulting me.
Madame Pratolungo suffers such tortures of restlessness in her lower limbs, that she longs for a skilled surgeon to take out his knife and deliver her from her own legs. Mr. Finch advances in deeper and deeper bass, in keener and keener enjoyment, to the Fourth Scene. Is relief approaching to us from the world outside? Are there footsteps in the hall? Yes! Mrs. Finch opens her eyes; Mrs.

"Remember," he said, "that I had unhappily offended you that day, and that you have not heard yet what Madame Pratolungo had the audacity to say to me under those circumstances." "What did she say to you?"
She has had lessons at a London Club. You must like Zillah, Madame Pratolungo, for my sake. Are your boxes open?" She went down on her knees before the boxes, as she asked the question. No girl with the full use of her eyes could have enjoyed more thoroughly than she did the trivial amusement of unpacking my clothes.
