Thus the Bosom; accomplished in the art of seeming to make things of small account, and really enhancing them in the process. He said it was the very thing for Sparkler.
"Poodles!" La Signorina was white with anger. "Why, yes," said Smith innocently. "Nearly all Italian ladies carry one or more of those woozy-eyed pups. Good-by to your sparkler, Tom, this trip, if we ever expect to see the lights of old Broadway again." O'Mally sighed deeply. The blow had finally fallen. Then La Signorina rose to her feet.
Mr Sparkler, finding himself stunned by the words thus heaped upon his inoffensive head, made a brief though pertinent rejoinder; the same being neither more nor less than that he had long perceived Miss Fanny to have no nonsense about her, and that he had no doubt of its being all right with his Governor.
'My dear Fanny, said Mr Sparkler, with deference, 'I should like to say a word to Amy. 'Well, well! Say it for goodness' sake, returned the young lady. 'I am convinced, my dear Amy, said Mr Sparkler, 'that if ever there was a girl, next to your highly endowed and beautiful sister, who had no nonsense about her 'We know all about that, Edmund, interposed Miss Fanny. 'Never mind that.
Mr Sparkler received the idea so kindly that Mr Dorrit asked what he was going to do that day, for instance? At dinner-time Mr Sparkler rose out of the sea, like Venus's son taking after his mother, and made a splendid appearance ascending the great staircase.

'I have been ha disappointed, madam, said Mr Dorrit, 'to understand from Mr Sparkler that there is no great hum probability of Mr Merdle's coming abroad. 'Why, indeed, said Mrs Merdle, 'he is so much engaged and in such request, that I fear not.
I may not myself, said Mr Sparkler manfully, 'be up to the mark on some other subjects at a short notice, and I am aware that if you were to poll Society the general opinion would be that I am not; but on the subject of Amy I am up to the mark! Mr Sparkler kissed her, in witness thereof.
There, you little thing, I was only in fun, dabbing her sister's forehead; 'but don't you be a silly puss, and don't you think flightily and eloquently about degenerate impossibilities. There! Now, I'll go back to myself. 'Dear Fanny, let me say first, that I would far rather we worked for a scanty living again than I would see you rich and married to Mr Sparkler.
Indeed, he had been more than that; he had been triumphant, especially on that memorable evening when, after a cautious delay of months, he had dared to pin that unapproachable sparkler to her breast and present her thus bedecked to the smart set her whom his talents, and especially his far-reaching business talents, had made his own.
'Yes, I thought it was yours, said Mr Sparkler. 'Then you shouldn't ask, retorted Fanny. After a little while she turned on her sofa and exclaimed, 'Dear me, dear me, there never was such a long day as this! After another little while, she got up slowly, walked about, and came back again.
