'Miss Snevellicci lives here, I believe? said Nicholas, when the door was opened. The tailor's daughter replied in the affirmative. 'Will you have the goodness to let her know that Mr Johnson is here? said Nicholas. 'Oh, if you please, you're to come upstairs, replied the tailor's daughter, with a smile.
'Certainly, replied Nicholas: devoutly hoping that it would be a very long time before he was honoured with this distinction. 'Then I'll tell you what we'll do, said Mr Crummles.
