'What does Mr Johnson say, Vincent? inquired a voice close to his ear; and, looking round, he found Mrs Crummles and Miss Snevellicci herself standing behind him. 'He has some objection, my dear, replied Mr Crummles, looking at Nicholas. 'Objection! exclaimed Mrs Crummles. 'Can it be possible? 'Oh, I hope not! cried Miss Snevellicci. 'You surely are not so cruel oh, dear me!
Now this was not exactly the kind of reply suited to Mr Snevellicci's importance as a man and a father, so he picked out the unfortunate Mrs Snevellicci, and asked her what the devil she meant by talking to him in that way. 'Dear me, my dear! said Mrs Snevellicci. 'Don't call me your dear, ma'am, said Mr Snevellicci, 'if you please. 'Pray, pa, don't, interposed Miss Snevellicci.
Most public characters have their failings; and the truth is that Mr Snevellicci was a little addicted to drinking; or, if the whole truth must be told, that he was scarcely ever sober. He knew in his cups three distinct stages of intoxication, the dignified the quarrelsome the amorous.
'Oh dear me, said Nicholas, with an air of very strong objection, 'I shouldn't like to do that. 'The infant will accompany her, said Mr Crummles. 'The moment it was suggested to me, I gave permission for the infant to go. There will not be the smallest impropriety Miss Snevellicci, sir, is the very soul of honour.

'Well, Miss Snevellicci, said Mrs Curdle, entering the parlour, 'and how do YOU do?
I'd astonish him without talking; that's my way. So saying, Mr Snevellicci struck the palm of his left hand three smart blows with his clenched fist; pulled a phantom nose with his right thumb and forefinger, and swallowed another glassful at a draught. 'That's my way, repeated Mr Snevellicci.
Miss Lane was the governess, and this entreaty was rendered necessary by the abrupt behaviour of the youngest Miss Borum, who, having filched the phenomenon's little green parasol, was now carrying it bodily off, while the distracted infant looked helplessly on. 'I am very happy to hear you express so favourable an opinion, said Miss Snevellicci. 'It's quite delightful to think you like it.
'If we do, it must be distinctly understood that we do not pledge ourselves to the quality of the performances. Let it go forth to the world, that we do not give THEM the sanction of our names, but that we confer the distinction merely upon Miss Snevellicci.
Miss Snevellicci was in such a perspiration that the paint would scarcely stay on her face. Mrs Crummles was so nervous that she could hardly remember her part. Miss Bravassa's ringlets came out of curl with the heat and anxiety; even Mr Crummles himself kept peeping through the hole in the curtain, and running back, every now and then, to announce that another man had come into the pit.
