But with Mrs Wititterly the two titles were all sufficient; coarseness became humour, vulgarity softened itself down into the most charming eccentricity; insolence took the guise of an easy absence of reserve, attainable only by those who had had the good fortune to mix with high folks.

Mrs Nickleby, who had been eagerly watching her opportunity, came dexterously in, before Kate could reply. 'Not to any stranger, ma'am, said the good lady; 'but she has been a companion to me for some years. I am her mother, ma'am. 'Oh! said Mrs Wititterly, 'I apprehend you.

'Some friends of ours were on the very point of introducing us, which makes it quite remarkable. But as the circumstance had made no impression one way or other upon Kate's mind, the force of the observation was quite lost upon her. 'They asked permission to call, said Mrs Wititterly. 'I gave it them of course. 'Do you expect them today? Kate ventured to inquire.

Whatever she brought here I will send for, if you will allow me, in the course of the day. Mr Wititterly bowed, but offered no opposition to Kate's immediate departure; with which, indeed, he was rather gratified than otherwise, Sir Tumley Snuffim having given it as his opinion, that she rather disagreed with Mrs Wititterly's constitution.

Bless my heart and body, can I ever forget the night you danced with the baronet's nephew at the election ball, at Exeter! It was tremendous. 'I always suffer for these triumphs afterwards, said Mrs Wititterly. 'And for that very reason, rejoined her husband, 'you must have a companion, in whom there is great gentleness, great sweetness, excessive sympathy, and perfect repose.

But Julia looked down most perseveringly, and screamed still louder; so Mr Wititterly rang the bell, and danced in a frenzied manner round the sofa on which Mrs Wititterly lay; uttering perpetual cries for Sir Tumley Snuffim, and never once leaving off to ask for any explanation of the scene before him. 'Run for Sir Tumley, cried Mr Wititterly, menacing the page with both fists.

So, the name and address were obtained without loss of time, and Miss Nickleby and her mama went off in quest of Mrs Wititterly, of Cadogan Place, Sloane Street, that same forenoon. Cadogan Place is the one slight bond that joins two great extremes; it is the connecting link between the aristocratic pavements of Belgrave Square, and the barbarism of Chelsea. It is in Sloane Street, but not of it.

If some people in public life were acquainted with Mrs Wititterly's real opinion of them, they would not hold their heads, perhaps, quite as high as they do. 'Hush, Henry, said the lady; 'this is scarcely fair. 'I mention no names, Julia, replied Mr Wititterly; 'and nobody is injured.

As the odious Sir Mulberry Hawk attached himself to Kate with less and less of disguise, Mrs Wititterly began to grow jealous of the superior attractions of Miss Nickleby.

'With regard to the trifle of salary that is due, said Mr Wititterly, 'I will' here he was interrupted by a violent fit of coughing 'I will owe it to Miss Nickleby. Mr Wititterly, it should be observed, was accustomed to owe small accounts, and to leave them owing. All men have some little pleasant way of their own; and this was Mr Wititterly's. 'If you please, said Nicholas.
