'Now upon my sacred word! cried Mr Pecksniff, looking upwards.
'Undoubtedly it is a very difficult question. And I am far from feeling sure that it is a question any one is authorized to discuss. Good evening to you. 'You don't know that the Spottletoes are here, I suppose? said Mr Tigg. 'What do you mean, sir? what Spottletoes? asked Pecksniff, stopping abruptly on his way to the door.
For the Spottletoes had actually gone straight to the Dragon, where they were at that moment housed and mounting guard, and where their appearance had occasioned such a vast sensation that Mrs Lupin, scenting their errand before they had been under her roof half an hour, carried the news herself with all possible secrecy straight to Mr Pecksniff's house; indeed it was her great caution in doing so which occasioned her to miss that gentleman, who entered at the front door of the Dragon just as she emerged from the back one.
