Tetterby, to make a handsome dental provision for the sign of the Bull and Mouth.
We went together, and all the way along he was so kind, and so subdued, and seemed to put such trust and hope in me, that I could not help trying with pleasure. "She was right!" said Mr. Tetterby. Mrs. Tetterby said she was right. All the children cried out that she was right. "Ah, but there's more than that," said Milly.
"Why don't you do something?" "Because I don't care about doing anything," Mr. Tetterby replied. "I am sure I don't," said Mrs. Tetterby. "I'll take my oath I don't," said Mr. Tetterby.
They, not hard of heart, presenting scraps in return, it resulted that a party of light skirmishers in nightgowns were careering about the parlour all through supper, which harassed Mr. Tetterby exceedingly, and once or twice imposed upon him the necessity of a charge, before which these guerilla troops retired in all directions and in great confusion. Mrs. Tetterby did not enjoy her supper.
Tetterby brought his eye to bear upon the partner of his bosom, and said, in mild astonishment: "My little woman, what has put you out?" "I'm sure I don't know," she retorted. "Don't ask me. Who said I was put out at all? I never did." Mr.
I must have nearly broke your heart, I know." "No, Dolf, no. It was me! Me!" cried Mrs. Tetterby. "My little woman," said her husband, "don't. You make me reproach myself dreadful, when you show such a noble spirit. Sophia, my dear, you don't know what I thought. I showed it bad enough, no doubt; but what I thought, my little woman! "Oh, dear Dolf, don't! Don't!" cried his wife.
"Which is the way the world goes, my dear?" asked Mr. Tetterby, looking round. "Oh, nothing," said Mrs. Tetterby. Mr. Tetterby elevated his eyebrows, folded his newspaper afresh, and carried his eyes up it, and down it, and across it, but was wandering in his attention, and not reading it. Mrs.
Tetterby made a feint of boxing his ears again, but thought better of it, and held his hand. "Oh, father!" whimpered Johnny, "when I wasn't doing anything, I'm sure, but taking such care of Sally, and getting her to sleep. Oh, father!" "I wish my little woman would come home!" said Mr. Tetterby, relenting and repenting, "I only wish my little woman would come home! I ain't fit to deal with 'em.
"My little woman," said her husband, dubiously, "are you quite sure you're better? Or are you, Sophia, about to break out in a fresh direction?" "No, 'Dolphus, no," replied his wife. "I'm quite myself." With that, settling her hair, and pressing the palms of her hands upon her eyes, she laughed again. "What a wicked fool I was, to think so for a moment!" said Mrs. Tetterby.
Tetterby himself, however, in his little parlour, as already mentioned, having the presence of a young family impressed upon his mind in a manner too clamorous to be disregarded, or to comport with the quiet perusal of a newspaper, laid down his paper, wheeled, in his distraction, a few times round the parlour, like an undecided carrier-pigeon, made an ineffectual rush at one or two flying little figures in bed-gowns that skimmed past him, and then, bearing suddenly down upon the only unoffending member of the family, boxed the ears of little Moloch's nurse.
