Venus are such natural and genuine companions that one does not see why if Venus repents Wegg should not repent too. In short, Wegg is a convenience for a plot and not a very good plot at that. But if he is one of the blots on the business, he is not the principal one.
I have only a message for you, which I undertook to deliver on my way home to my lodgings. I was in two minds about coming beyond the gate without ringing: not knowing but you might have a dog about. 'I wish I had, mutters Wegg, with his back turned as he rose from his chair. St! Hush! The talking-over stranger, Mr Venus. 'Is that any one I know? inquires the staring Secretary.
Wegg reflected a moment, and then said: 'Mr Venus, will you be so good as hand me over that same dockyment? 'Certainly, sir, replied Venus, handing it to him with much politeness. 'There it is. Having now, sir, parted with it, I wish to make a small observation: not so much because it is anyways necessary, or expresses any new doctrine or discovery, as because it is a comfort to my mind.
'Are you subject to bile, Wegg? Mr Wegg again replied, with strict adherence to truth, that he didn't think he had ever had a similar sensation in his head, to anything like the same extent. 'Physic yourself to-morrow, Wegg, said Mr Boffin, 'to be in order for next night. By-the-by, this neighbourhood is going to have a loss, Wegg. 'A loss, sir? 'Going to lose the Mounds.
'Now, for any liberal sum of money that could be agreed upon, Venus, would you put it in the fire? 'No, sir, I wouldn't, interrupted Mr Venus. 'Nor pass it over to me? 'That would be the same thing. No, sir, said Mr Venus. The Golden Dustman seemed about to pursue these questions, when a stumping noise was heard outside, coming towards the door. 'Hush! here's Wegg! said Venus.
'I meant, exclaimed Wegg, testily, 'to the party as formerly objected? 'Mr Wegg, said Venus, 'in a case of so much delicacy, I must trouble you to say what you mean. There are strings that must not be played upon. No sir! Not sounded, unless in the most respectful and tuneful manner. Of such melodious strings is Miss Pleasant Riderhood formed.
The servant replied that MR Boffin was at home. 'He'll do, said Wegg, 'though it ain't what I call him. The servant inquired if they had any appointment? 'Now, I tell you what, young fellow, said Wegg, 'I won't have it. This won't do for me. I don't want menials. I want Boffin.
She made McNutt pay the bill with John Merrick's money, agreeing to explain the case to "the nabob" herself, and back up the agent in the unauthorized expenditure. Nora had a new gingham dress, too, which the girl had herself provided, and on Thursday morning Ethel was at the Wegg farm bright and early to see the old couple properly attired to receive their new master.
I'll put him in harness, and I'll bear him up tight, and I'll break him and drive him. The harder the old Dust is driven, sir, the higher he'll pay. And I mean to be paid high, Mr Venus, I promise you. 'You speak quite revengefully, Mr Wegg. 'Revengefully, sir? Is it for him that I have declined and falled, night after night?
They gathered eagerly on the lawn, and he told them of the finding of Joe Wegg in the isolated cabin, and how old Thomas and Nora, loving the boy as well as if he had been their own child, had sacrificed everything to assist him in his extremity. "So ye see, my avenging angels, that ye run off the track in the Hucks matter," he added, smiling at their bewildered faces.
