I wouldn't have believed this, if a Saint had told it to me. 'I am foolish to give way to faintness, Miss Tox faltered. 'I shall be better presently. 'You will be better presently, Lucretia! repeated Mrs Chick, with exceeding scorn. 'Do you suppose I am blind? Do you imagine I am in my second childhood? No, Lucretia! I am obliged to you!
'And as to anything in the shape of a token, my dear Paul, pursued his sister, 'all I can say is that anything you give Miss Tox will be hoarded and prized, I am sure, like a relic. But there is a way, my dear Paul, of showing your sense of Miss Tox's friendliness in a still more flattering and acceptable manner, if you should be so inclined. 'How is that? asked Mr Dombey.
'I am glad to hear it, said Mrs Chick, 'because; my love, as our dear Miss Tox of whose sound sense and excellent judgment, there cannot possibly be two opinions 'My dear Louisa, I shall really be proud, soon, said Miss Tox 'will tell you, and confirm by her experience, pursued Mrs Chick, 'we are called upon on all occasions to make an effort It is required of us.
'But you won't catch Joe, Ma'am, said the Major. 'He's tough, Ma'am, tough, is J.B. Tough, and de-vilish sly! over which reflection he chuckled for the rest of the day. But still, when that day and many other days were gone and past, it seemed that Miss Tox took no heed whatever of the Major, and thought nothing at all about him.
At length Mr Dombey, bringing down Miss Tox and Mrs Chick to see the children, and finding the Major again at Brighton, invited him to dinner at the Bedford, and complimented Miss Tox highly, beforehand, on her neighbour and acquaintance.
She had been wont, once upon a time, to look out at one of her little dark windows by accident, and blushingly return the Major's greeting; but now, she never gave the Major a chance, and cared nothing at all whether he looked over the way or not. Other changes had come to pass too. Over and above all this, Miss Tox had long been dressed with uncommon care and elegance in slight mourning.
'How do you do, Mrs Richards? said Miss Tox. 'I have come to see you. May I come in? The cheery face of Mrs Richards shone with a hospitable reply, and Miss Tox, accepting the proffered chair, and grab fully recognising Mr Toodle on her way to it, untied her bonnet strings, and said that in the first place she must beg the dear children, one and all, to come and kiss her.
And look upon us, angels of young children, with regards not quite estranged, when the swift river bears us to the ocean! 'Dear me, dear me! To think, said Miss Tox, bursting out afresh that night, as if her heart were broken, 'that Dombey and Son should be a Daughter after all! Captain Cuttle does a little Business for the Young People
Against Mr Dombey Miss Tox hardly felt that she had any reason of complaint. Her sense of that gentleman's magnificence was such, that once removed from him, she felt as if her distance always had been immeasurable, and as if he had greatly condescended in tolerating her at all. No wife could be too handsome or too stately for him, according to Miss Tox's sincere opinion.
Up hill and down dale you go, through Scythia and Machlyene, off again to Bosphorus, then back to Scythia, till my taciturnity is exhausted. Tox. I am schooled. Brevity you shall have; I will not run you off your ears this time. My next story shall be of a service rendered to myself, by my friend Sisinnes. Induced by the desire for Greek culture, I had left my home and was on my way to Athens.
