Spenlow seemed to think, if he thought anything about the matter, that my aunt was the leader of the state party in our family, and that there was a rebel party commanded by somebody else so I gathered at least from what he said, while we were waiting for Mr. Tiffey to make out Peggotty's bill of costs.
'They were not hot, said Tiffey, putting on his glasses; 'no hotter, I understand, than they would have been, going down at the usual pace. The reins were broken, but they had been dragging on the ground. The house was roused up directly, and three of them went out along the road. They found him a mile off. 'More than a mile off, Mr. Tiffey, interposed a junior. 'Was it?
Spenlow was very difficult to move from the beaten track. You know what he was! I am disposed to think he had made no will. 'Oh, I know he had! said I. They both stopped and looked at me. 'On the very day when I last saw him, said I, 'he told me that he had, and that his affairs were long since settled. Mr. jorkins and old Tiffey shook their heads with one accord.
Spenlow, 'I understand there's money. Beauty too, I am told. 'Indeed! Is his new wife young? 'Just of age, said Mr. Spenlow. 'So lately, that I should think they had been waiting for that. 'Lord deliver her! said Peggotty. So very emphatically and unexpectedly, that we were all three discomposed; until Tiffey came in with the bill. Old Tiffey soon appeared, however, and handed it to Mr.
When I got to the office, and, shutting out old Tiffey and the rest of them with my hands, sat at my desk, in my own particular nook, thinking of this earthquake that had taken place so unexpectedly, and in the bitterness of my spirit cursing Jip, I fell into such a state of torment about Dora, that I wonder I did not take up my hat and rush insanely to Norwood.
Spenlow, to look over. Mr. Spenlow, settling his chin in his cravat and rubbing it softly, went over the items with a deprecatory air as if it were all Jorkins's doing and handed it back to Tiffey with a bland sigh. 'Yes, he said. 'That's right. Quite right.
I believe you are right, said Tiffey, 'more than a mile off not far from the church lying partly on the roadside, and partly on the path, upon his face. Whether he fell out in a fit, or got out, feeling ill before the fit came on or even whether he was quite dead then, though there is no doubt he was quite insensible no one appears to know. If he breathed, certainly he never spoke.
'That looks unpromising, said Tiffey. 'Very unpromising, said Mr. jorkins. 'Surely you don't doubt I began. 'My good Mr. Copperfield! said Tiffey, laying his hand upon my arm, and shutting up both his eyes as he shook his head: 'if you had been in the Commons as long as I have, you would know that there is no subject on which men are so inconsistent, and so little to be trusted.
Spenlow had stepped out, old Tiffey said, to get a gentleman sworn for a marriage licence; but as I knew he would be back directly, our place lying close to the Surrogate's, and to the Vicar-General's office too, I told Peggotty to wait.
'Why, bless my soul, he made that very remark! I replied persistently. 'I should call that almost final, observed Tiffey. 'My opinion is no will. It appeared a wonderful thing to me, but it turned out that there was no will.
