Which he did with his boots on, and an umbrella under his arm. 'How lovely your hair do curl tonight, miss! said the handmaiden. 'I declare if it isn't a pity and a shame to brush it out! 'Hold your tongue! replied Miss Squeers wrathfully. Some considerable experience prevented the girl from being at all surprised at any outbreak of ill-temper on the part of Miss Squeers.
He was making his fortune very fast indeed, when the faint glimmer of an expiring candle shone before his eyes, and a voice he had no difficulty in recognising as part and parcel of Mr Squeers, admonished him that it was time to rise. 'Past seven, Nickleby, said Mr Squeers. 'Has morning come already? asked Nicholas, sitting up in bed. 'Ah! that has it, replied Squeers, 'and ready iced too.
With this effusion of feeling, Miss Squeers went to bed. Spite is a little word; but it represents as strange a jumble of feelings, and compound of discords, as any polysyllable in the language.
Blimber is really a very good foil to Paul; whereas Squeers is not a foil to Nicholas; Nicholas is merely a lame excuse for Squeers. The change can be seen continued in the school, or rather the two schools, to which David Copperfield goes. The whole idea of David Copperfield's life is that he had the dregs of life before the wine of it.
Inquiring for the object of his solicitude, he learnt that he had timed his visit well; for Mr Squeers was, in fact, at that moment waiting for a hackney coach he had ordered, and in which he purposed proceeding to his week's retirement, like a gentleman.
He would have given a big slice of his monthly pay to go with that particular party, occupy the seat opposite Amy Lawrence and gaze his fill at her fair face. He well-nigh hated Squeers as he hurried away to hail his first sergeant and give the necessary orders before daring to return to the carriage and report his failure.
Instead of calling out the author as the book is named, provide each guest with pencil and paper and announce that as a book is named, each player must write down the author and the name of some character in that book. Examples: "The Taming of the Shrew" Wm. Shakespeare Petruchio. "Nicholas Nickleby" Chas. Dickens Mr. Squeers. "Ivanhoe" Sir Walter Scott Rebecca. Any number may play this game.
'Do I! returned Squeers. 'Don't I? 'Good, said Ralph; 'a very few words will be sufficient here. You had a son by your first wife, Mr Snawley? 'I had, replied that person, 'and there he stands. 'We'll show that presently, said Ralph. 'You and your wife were separated, and she had the boy to live with her, when he was a year old.
As Mrs Squeers had previously protested, however, that she was quite certain she had not got it, Smike received another box on the ear for presuming to contradict his mistress, together with a promise of a sound thrashing if he were not more respectful in future; so that he took nothing very advantageous by his motion.
Miss Squeers had brought it about, by aspiring to the high state and condition of being matrimonially engaged, without good grounds for so doing; Miss Price had brought it about, by indulging in three motives of action: first, a desire to punish her friend for laying claim to a rivalship in dignity, having no good title: secondly, the gratification of her own vanity, in receiving the compliments of a smart young man: and thirdly, a wish to convince the corn-factor of the great danger he ran, in deferring the celebration of their expected nuptials; while Nicholas had brought it about, by half an hour's gaiety and thoughtlessness, and a very sincere desire to avoid the imputation of inclining at all to Miss Squeers.
