'Good gracious me! stammered Mr Toots. 'What a complication of misery! How-de-do? I I I'm afraid you must have got very wet. Captain Gills, will you allow me a word in the shop? He took the Captain by the coat, and going out with him whispered: 'That then, Captain Gills, is the party you spoke of, when you said that he and Miss Dombey were made for one another?
'Of all the remarkable instances that that delightful woman has given of her excellent sense, Captain Gills and Mr Sols, said Mr Toots, 'I think none is more remarkable than the perfection with which she has understood my devotion to Miss Dombey. Both his auditors assent. 'Because you know, says Mr Toots, 'I have never changed my sentiments towards Miss Dombey. They are the same as ever.

"You're growing very handsome, you know, boy," she said.

Mr Toots said, looking doubtfully at Paul, and shaking his head, that he didn't know about that. 'Not blowing, at least, said Paul, 'but sounding in the air like the sea sounds in the shells. It was a beautiful night. When I had listened to the water for a long time, I got up and looked out. There was a boat over there, in the full light of the moon; a boat with a sail.

There was not the right taste about the premature productions, and they didn't keep well.
