'Oh, Tatty! murmured her mistress, 'take your hands away. I feel as if some one else was touching me! She said it in a quick involuntary way, but half playfully, and not more petulantly or disagreeably than a favourite child might have done, who laughed next moment. Tattycoram set her full red lips together, and crossed her arms upon her bosom.
Sir, whether you find me temporarily and cheaply lodging in an empty London house, or in a Calais apartment, you find Harriet with me. You may like to see her before you leave. Harriet, come in! She called Harriet again. The second call produced Harriet, once Tattycoram. 'Here is Mr Clennam, said Miss Wade; 'not come for you; he has given you up, I suppose you have, by this time?
Mr Meagles had scarcely come out, when Mrs Meagles came out. Mrs Meagles had scarcely come out, when Pet came out. Pet scarcely had come out, when Tattycoram came out. Never had visitors a more hospitable reception. 'Here we are, you see, said Mr Meagles, 'boxed up, Mr Clennam, within our own home-limits, as if we were never going to expand that is, travel again. Not like Marseilles, eh?
He returned home one evening from an interview with her father, who had mentioned that she was out visiting which was what he always said when she was hard at work to buy his supper and found Mr Meagles in an excited state walking up and down his room. On his opening the door, Mr Meagles stopped, faced round, and said: 'Clennam! Tattycoram! 'What's the matter? 'Lost!
'Tatty, said her young mistress, putting her hand up over her shoulder that the other might take it, 'Miss Wade almost frightened me when we parted, and I scarcely like to think of her just now as having been so near me without my knowing it. Tatty dear! Tatty stood for a moment, immovable. 'Hey? cried Mr Meagles. 'Count another five-and-twenty, Tattycoram.
Miss Wade, who had released her hold, laid her hand protectingly on the girl's neck for a moment, and then said, looking round with her former smile and speaking exactly in her former tone, 'Gentlemen! What do you do upon that? 'Oh, Tattycoram, Tattycoram! cried Mr Meagles, adjuring her besides with an earnest hand.
Immediately, he saw in advance a few people intervening, but still so near to him that he could have touched them by stretching out his arm Tattycoram and a strange man of a remarkable appearance: a swaggering man, with a high nose, and a black moustache as false in its colour as his eyes were false in their expression, who wore his heavy cloak with the air of a foreigner.
We may come to it at once. 'The cause then, ma'am, said Mr Meagles, 'is Tattycoram. 'So I supposed. 'Miss Wade, said Mr Meagles, 'will you be so kind as to say whether you know anything of her? 'Surely. I know she is here with me.
'Not without another effort, said Mr Meagles, stoutly. 'Tattycoram, my poor dear girl, count five-and-twenty. 'Do not reject the hope, the certainty, this kind man offers you, said Clennam in a low emphatic voice. 'Turn to the friends you have not forgotten. Think once more! 'I won't!
The shady waiting-rooms of the Circumlocution Office, where he passed a good deal of time in company with various troublesome Convicts who were under sentence to be broken alive on that wheel, had afforded Arthur Clennam ample leisure, in three or four successive days, to exhaust the subject of his late glimpse of Miss Wade and Tattycoram.
