'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.
The pot-boy attached to the Princess's Arms had come out with a can and trickled water, in a flowering pattern, all over Princess's Place, and it gave the weedy ground a fresh scent quite a growing scent, Miss Tox said.
'I beg you'll have the goodness, when you happen to see me here, not to mention it. My visits are merely to Mrs Pipchin. 'Very good, Miss, says Towlinson. 'Shocking circumstances occur, Towlinson, says Miss Tox. 'Very much so indeed, Miss, rejoins Towlinson.
Miss Tox arose, took up her scissors hastily, and so coming, at last, to the plants, was very busy with them when Mrs Chick entered the room. 'How is my sweetest friend! exclaimed Miss Tox, with open arms. A little stateliness was mingled with Miss Tox's sweetest friend's demeanour, but she kissed Miss Tox, and said, 'Lucretia, thank you, I am pretty well. I hope you are the same. Hem!
'Then, if you please, Towlinson, said Miss Tox, 'have the goodness to turn the cushion. Which, said Miss Tox apart to Mrs Chick, 'is generally damp, my dear. 'Yes, Miss, said Towlinson. 'I'll trouble you also, if you please, Towlinson, said Miss Tox, 'with this card and this shilling. He's to drive to the card, and is to understand that he will not on any account have more than the shilling.
Let it be no detraction from the merits of Miss Tox, to hint that in Mr Dombey's eyes, as in some others that occasionally see the light, they only achieved that mighty piece of knowledge, the understanding of their own position, who showed a fitting reverence for his. It was not so much their merit that they knew themselves, as that they knew him, and bowed low before him.
'And so Dombey and Son, as I observed upon a certain sad occasion, said Miss Tox, winding up a host of recollections, 'is indeed a daughter, Polly, after all. 'And a good one! exclaimed Polly. 'You are right, said Miss Tox; 'and it's a credit to you, Polly, that you were always her friend when she was a little child.
'Thankee, Mum, said Toodle, 'since you are suppressing. 'And you're very glad to leave your dear good wife in such a comfortable home, ain't you, Sir?'said Miss Tox, nodding and winking at him stealthily. 'No, Mum, said Toodle. 'Here's wishing of her back agin. Polly cried more than ever at this.
For a time the Bird Waltz was unheard in Princess's Place, the plants were neglected, and dust collected on the miniature of Miss Tox's ancestor with the powdered head and pigtail. Miss Tox, however, was not of an age or of a disposition long to abandon herself to unavailing regrets.
'You see, my love, she's already quite contented and comfortable, and means to say goodbye to her sister Jemima and her little pets, and her good honest husband, with a light heart and a smile; don't she, my dear? 'Oh yes! cried Miss Tox. 'To be sure she does!
