Craggs knows Mrs. Snitchey cut this reference very short by hitching her husband to a distance, and asking him to look at that man. To do her the favour to look at him! 'At which man, my dear? said Mr. Snitchey. 'Your chosen companion; I'M no companion to you, Mr. Snitchey. 'Yes, yes, you are, my dear, he interposed.
