There are two priests stationed at the church the Rev. James Taylor and the Rev. Joseph Pyke. Father Taylor, the principal, is a blooming, healthy, full-spirited gentleman.
'But it's worth the pain of hearing, only to know that Mrs Nickleby recovered it, isn't it, Pluck? cried Mr Pyke. 'That is the circumstance which gives it such a thrilling interest, replied Mr Pluck. 'But come, said Pyke, as if suddenly recollecting himself; 'we must not forget our mission in the pleasure of this interview. We come on a mission, Mrs Nickleby.
This Pike, a Devonshire man, being presented prisoner to the Duke of Medina, he would needs have him fight at rapier or dagger with a Spaniard, supposing he would not stand him two thrusts: but Pyke, by a dexterous sleight, presently disarmed the Spaniard of his rapier without hurting him, and presented it to the Duke," &c.
We usually only use this service for our dinner parties and your uncle Pyke keeps it locked up and carries the key about with him. Show Rosalie the key, Pyke. But I got it out for you to-day because I knew you would like to see real solid silver plate. Dear child!" Dear thing! Lightly on her, you Brompton Cemetery stones!
Laetitia, wouldn't it do your father good, the cross, grumpy old thing? Give your master some more of the sauce, Parker. Isn't that trout delicate and nice, Pyke? Trout for a pike!

Then turning to Annie, she said: "Noo, Annie, lass, ye'll be a guid bairn, and do as ye're tell't. An' min' and no pyke the things i' the chop." A smile of peculiar import glimmered over Bruce's face at the sound of this injunction.

'Mrs Nickleby cannot be ignorant, said Mr Pluck, 'of the immense impression which that sweet girl has 'Pluck! said his friend, 'beware! 'Pyke is right, muttered Mr Pluck, after a short pause; 'I was not to mention it. Pyke is very right. Thank you, Pyke.
Mrs Nickleby cast an apprehensive glance at the warlike Pyke, who had walked to the window; and Mr Pluck, squeezing her hand, went on: 'Your daughter has made a conquest a conquest on which I may congratulate you. Sir Mulberry, my dear ma'am, Sir Mulberry is her devoted slave. Hem! 'Hah! cried Mr Pyke at this juncture, snatching something from the chimney-piece with a theatrical air.
