Compressing her lips, in sympathy with the snap, Miss Murdstone opened it opening her mouth a little at the same time and produced my last letter to Dora, teeming with expressions of devoted affection. 'I believe that is your writing, Mr. Copperfield? said Mr. Spenlow. I was very hot, and the voice I heard was very unlike mine, when I said, 'It is, sir! 'If I am not mistaken, said Mr.
I suspect the truth to be, that the influence of Agnes was upon me, undisturbed by the sight of him; and that it was the more powerful with me, because she had so large a share in my thoughts and interest. In the meantime, days and weeks slipped away. I was articled to Spenlow and Jorkins.
Spenlow, I suppose? said Mr. jorkins; when he had heard me, very restlessly, to an end. I answered Yes, and told him that Mr. Spenlow had introduced his name. 'He said I should object? asked Mr. jorkins. I was obliged to admit that Mr. Spenlow had considered it probable.

It is not a professional course of proceeding. It is not a convenient precedent at all. Far from it. At the same time 'You are very good, sir, I murmured, anticipating a concession. 'Not at all.

'I don't allude to the matter in that light, said Mr. Spenlow.
"This is very interesting and important," he said, when I had finished; "really, Jervis, you are a most invaluable coadjutor. It seems that information, which would be strictly withheld from the forbidding Jorkins, trickles freely and unasked into the ear of the genial Spenlow.
