Oh, how little did I think it! 'Be composed, sir, said Ralph, with a gruff expression of sympathy, 'you have got him now. 'Got him! Oh, haven't I got him! Have I got him, though? cried Mr Snawley, scarcely able to believe it. 'Yes, here he is, flesh and blood, flesh and blood. 'Vary little flesh, said John Browdie.
'They have come to the right shop for morals, sir. 'You are a moral man yourself, said Mr Snawley. 'I rather believe I am, sir, replied Squeers. 'I have the satisfaction to know you are, sir, said Mr Snawley. 'I asked one of your references, and he said you were pious. 'Well, sir, I hope I am a little in that line, replied Squeers. 'I hope I am also, rejoined the other.
'He goes down with me tomorrow, sir, said Squeers. 'That's his luggage that he is a sitting upon now. Each boy is required to bring, sir, two suits of clothes, six shirts, six pair of stockings, two nightcaps, two pocket-handkerchiefs, two pair of shoes, two hats, and a razor. 'A razor! exclaimed Mr Snawley, as they walked into the next box. 'What for?
'I want my son, said Snawley. 'Your son, replied Nicholas, 'chooses for himself. He chooses to remain here, and he shall. 'You won't give him up? said Snawley. 'I would not give him up against his will, to be the victim of such brutality as that to which you would consign him, replied Nicholas, 'if he were a dog or a rat.

'No, no, no, cried Smike, shrinking back. 'He never loved nobody, bawled Squeers, through the keyhole. 'He never loved me; he never loved Wackford, who is next door but one to a cherubim.
'If we put some of these youngsters in the middle, said the new-comer, 'they'll be safer in case of their going to sleep; eh? 'If you'll have the goodness, sir, replied Squeers, 'that'll be the very thing. Mr Nickleby, take three of them boys between you and the gentleman. Belling and the youngest Snawley can sit between me and the guard.
And he was breathless with excitement; when he reached the small editorial chamber at the top of a dark, narrow flight of stairs, wherein sat the autocratic Snawley, smiling suavely over a heap of letters and disordered MSS. He glanced at the card which his ink-smeared attendant presented him. "Ah, indeed!" he said condescendingly. "Lovelace Lovelace?
'If you'll have the goodness, rejoined Squeers. 'This is a boy, or a youth, or a lad, or a young man, or a hobbledehoy, or whatever you like to call him, of eighteen or nineteen, or thereabouts, said Ralph. 'That I see, observed the schoolmaster. 'So do I, said Mr Snawley, thinking it as well to back his new friend occasionally.
'Do I! returned Squeers. 'Don't I? 'Good, said Ralph; 'a very few words will be sufficient here. You had a son by your first wife, Mr Snawley? 'I had, replied that person, 'and there he stands. 'We'll show that presently, said Ralph. 'You and your wife were separated, and she had the boy to live with her, when he was a year old.
That, all this had been skilfully done; but that Snawley, who was well practised in the arts of low cunning and intrigue, had successfully baffled all their attempts, until an unexpected circumstance had brought him, last night, upon his knees. It thus arose.
