'John Rokesmith being acquainted with your Ma, my love, said her father, after some slight hesitation, 'I need have no delicacy in hinting before him that you may perhaps find your Ma a little wearing. 'A little, patient Pa? said Bella with a tuneful laugh: the tunefuller for being so loving in its tone. 'Well!
'Don't you be put out, my dear, complacently retorted Mr Boffin. 'I'll bring this young man to book. Now, you Rokesmith! You can't decline to hear, you know, as well as to answer. You hear me tell you that the first side of your conduct was Insolence Insolence and Presumption. Answer me one thing, if you can. Didn't this young lady tell you so herself?
Few rustic paths are wide enough for five, and Bella and the Secretary dropped behind. 'Can you believe, Mr Rokesmith, said Bella, 'that I feel as if whole years had passed since I went into Lizzie Hexam's cottage? 'We have crowded a good deal into the day, he returned, 'and you were much affected in the churchyard. You are over-tired. 'No, I am not at all tired.
Mr Rokesmith quickly wrote, and then read aloud: "Mr Boffin presents his compliments to Mr John Rokesmith, and begs to say that he has decided on giving Mr John Rokesmith a trial in the capacity he desires to fill. Mr Boffin takes Mr John Rokesmith at his word, in postponing to some indefinite period, the consideration of salary.
'But I assure you I DON'T, Mr Rokesmith, said Bella, half-crying. 'Not for your father? 'Dear, loving, self-forgetting, easily-satisfied Pa! Oh, yes! He thinks so. 'It is enough if he only thinks so, said the Secretary. 'Excuse the interruption: I don't like to hear you depreciate yourself.
The consideration of Mrs Boffin had clothed Mr Sloppy in a suit of black, on which the tailor had received personal directions from Rokesmith to expend the utmost cunning of his art, with a view to the concealment of the cohering and sustaining buttons.
It's an unfortunate name, and I fancy I should reproach myself if I gave it to another dear child, and it proved again unlucky. 'Now, whether, said Mr Boffin, gravely propounding a case for his Secretary's opinion; 'whether one might call that a superstition? 'It is a matter of feeling with Mrs Boffin, said Rokesmith, gently. 'The name has always been unfortunate.
But not because I repent of what I have said to you. For I don't. It's true! 'Try the left hand, said Mr Boffin, holding it out in a stolid manner; 'it's the least used. 'You have been wonderfully good and kind to me, said Bella, 'and I kiss it for that. You have been as bad as bad could be to Mr Rokesmith, and I throw it away for that. Thank you for myself, and good-bye!
'I dare say you can stoop to pick it up, after what you have stooped to here. 'I have stooped to nothing but this, Rokesmith answered as he took it from the ground; 'and this is mine, for I have earned it by the hardest of hard labour. 'You're a pretty quick packer, I hope, said Mr Boffin; 'because the sooner you are gone, bag and baggage, the better for all parties.
'Only it isn't easy for a person to know where to begin, when a person is in this state of delight and happiness. Bella, my dear. Tell me, who's this? 'Who is this? repeated Bella. 'My husband. 'Ah! But tell me his name, deary! cried Mrs Boffin. 'Rokesmith. 'No, it ain't! cried Mrs Boffin, clapping her hands, and shaking her head. 'Not a bit of it. 'Handford then, suggested Bella.
