'This here, Ma'am, said Toodle, 'is him with the short legs and they was, said Mr Toodle, with a touch of poetry in his tone, 'unusual short for leathers as Mr Dombey made a Grinder on. The recollection almost overpowered Miss Tox. The subject of it had a peculiar interest for her directly. She asked him to shake hands, and congratulated his mother on his frank, ingenuous face.
'You see, my boys and gals, said Mr Toodle, looking round upon his family, 'wotever you're up to in a honest way, it's my opinion as you can't do better than be open. If you find yourselves in cuttings or in tunnels, don't you play no secret games. Keep your whistles going, and let's know where you are.
'I have no doubt you know it very well. Indeed it is so plain and obvious that it could hardly be otherwise. Louisa, my dear, arrange with Richards about money, and let her have it when and how she pleases. Mr what's-your name, a word with you, if you please! Thus arrested on the threshold as he was following his wife out of the room, Toodle returned and confronted Mr Dombey alone.
He'll never make money. He has such ways as I never see. He ain't a bad master though, I'll say that for him. But that ain't much to me, for I don't think I shall stop with him long. 'Not stop in your place, Rob! cried his mother; while Mr Toodle opened his eyes. 'Not in that place, p'raps, returned the Grinder, with a wink.
'I'll never come again, Sir. I only wanted work. 'Work, young Cain that you are! repeated Mr Carker, eyeing him narrowly. 'Ain't you the idlest vagabond in London? The impeachment, while it much affected Mr Toodle Junior, attached to his character so justly, that he could not say a word in denial.
'Let me entreat you not to say so, Sir, either now, or at any future time. Such observations cannot but be very painful to me; and to a gentleman, whose mind is constituted as, I am quite sure, yours is, can afford no permanent satisfaction. Mr Toodle, who had not entertained the least doubt of offering a remark that would be received with acquiescence, was greatly confounded.
A change in Mr Dombey's face, which seemed to express recollection of him, and so it did, but it expressed in a much stronger degree an angry sense of humiliation, stopped Mr Toodle short. 'No thank'ee, Sir, returned Toodle, 'I can't say she does. I don't. Mr Dombey was stopped short now in his turn: and awkwardly: with his hand in his pocket.
'As you appear to leave everything to her, said Mr Dombey, frustrated in his intention of impressing his views still more distinctly on the husband, as the stronger character, 'I suppose it is of no use my saying anything to you. 'Not a bit, said Toodle. 'Polly heerd it. She's awake, Sir. 'I won't detain you any longer then, returned Mr Dombey, disappointed.
"What's this 'expelled' is, now?" said John Toodle, with a very considering look and tone in his uplifted face "properly speaking, that is," he added, implying that of course he knew the word in its ordinary sense, but was not sure of it "properly speaking." "Flung oot," said Drucken Wabster, speaking from the fullness of his own experience. "Whisht!" said a third. "Here's Tam Brodie.
I know, said Mrs Chick, 'for the same young person has made me many dresses. The very best materials, too! 'Lor, you'll be so smart, said Miss Tox, 'that your husband won't know you; will you, Sir? 'I should know her, said Toodle, gruffly, 'anyhows and anywheres. Toodle was evidently not to be bought over.
