'Ma, interposed the young lady, 'I must say I think it would be much better if you would keep to the point, and not hold forth about people's flying into people's faces, which is nothing more nor less than impossible nonsense. 'How! exclaimed Mrs Wilfer, knitting her dark brows.
"If you are mad enough to disobey me, I shall whistle for the police; they will find me struggling with a most villainous-looking ruffian, whom I instantly give in charge for assault and robbery of my dear friend, Mr. Leroy, who has gone in search of assistance." "It's all a lie," shouted Wilfer furiously. "Appearances would be too strongly against you, my friend.

'To you, Mr Boffin, nothing. But to Miss Wilfer and to your good kind wife, a word. 'Out with it then, replied Mr Boffin, 'and cut it short, for we've had enough of you.
'We know it's there! said Mrs Wilfer, glaring. 'Really, George, remonstrated Miss Lavinia, 'I must say that I don't understand your allusions, and that I think you might be more delicate and less personal. 'Go it! cried Mr Sampson, becoming, on the shortest notice, a prey to despair. 'Oh yes! Go it, Miss Lavinia Wilfer!

'Ah me! said he, 'what might have been is not what is!

The excellent lady delivered this luminous elucidation of her views with an air of greatly obliging her hearers, and greatly distinguishing herself.

'All this time, said the stranger, producing a little pocket-book and taking out a card, 'I have not mentioned my name. My name is Rokesmith. I lodge at one Mr Wilfer's, at Holloway. Mr Boffin stared again. 'Father of Miss Bella Wilfer? said he.
'Now, mark this chap's making Miss Wilfer stand for Pounds, Shillings, and Pence! 'My feeling for Miss Wilfer, pursued the Secretary, without deigning to notice him, 'is not one to be ashamed of.
