The officer of health, and a variety of humbugs in cocked hats, are coming off to let us out of this at last: and all we jail-birds are to breakfast together in something approaching to a Christian style again, before we take wing for our different destinations. Tattycoram, stick you close to your young mistress.
The lounger had lounged out of view, and Miss Wade and Tattycoram were gone. More than ever bent on seeing what became of them, and on having some information to give his good friend, Mr Meagles, he went out at the further end of the terrace, looking cautiously about him. He rightly judged that, at first at all events, they would go in a contrary direction from their late companion.
But I'll explain what I mean when you come back. She left the room. Mr Meagles, looking through the bars of the window, saw her pass out of the Lodge below him into the prison-yard. He said gently, 'Tattycoram, come to me a moment, my good girl. She went up to the window. 'You see that young lady who was here just now that little, quiet, fragile figure passing along there, Tatty? Look.
Tattycoram, I'll not ask that lady whether she believes what she has said, even in the anger and ill blood in which I and my friend here equally know she has spoken, though she subdues herself, with a determination that any one who has once seen her is not likely to forget. I'll not ask you, with your remembrance of my house and all belonging to it, whether you believe it.
Still, Pet's happiness or unhappiness is quite a life or death question with us; and we may be excused, I hope, for making much of it. At all events, it might have been borne by Tattycoram. Now, don't you think so? 'I do indeed think so, returned Clennam, in most emphatic recognition of this very moderate expectation. 'No, sir, said Mr Meagles, shaking his head ruefully. 'She couldn't stand it.
I won't stop at five-and-twenty, sir, I'll count five-and-twenty hundred, five-and-twenty thousand! Another opening of the door, and Tattycoram subsided, and Little Dorrit came in, and Mr Meagles with pride and joy produced the box, and her gentle face was lighted up with grateful happiness and joy. The secret was safe now!
'Did you wish to know, sir, she said, looking at Mr Meagles, 'what Miss Wade wrote to me about? 'Well, Tattycoram, returned Mr Meagles, 'since you ask the question, and we are all friends here, perhaps you may as well mention it, if you are so inclined. 'She knew, when we were travelling, where you lived, said Tattycoram, 'and she had seen me not quite not quite
'There! said Mr Meagles rising. 'I am sorry for it; that's over; and I hope there is not much harm done. Tattycoram well, Miss Wade? 'Harriet well? O yes! 'I have put my foot in it again, said Mr Meagles, thus corrected. 'I can't keep my foot out of it here, it seems. Perhaps, if I had thought twice about it, I might never have given her the jingling name.
The people stand out of the way to let her go by. The men see the poor, shabby fellows pull off their hats to her quite politely, and now she glides in at that doorway. See her, Tattycoram? 'Yes, sir. 'I have heard tell, Tatty, that she was once regularly called the child of this place. She was born here, and lived here many years. I can't breathe here.
There was even the later addition of a conservatory sheltering itself against it, uncertain of hue in its deep-stained glass, and in its more transparent portions flashing to the sun's rays, now like fire and now like harmless water drops; which might have stood for Tattycoram.
