Stiles had become so excited over his discovery that for the moment he had forgotten the danger of his own position. Accidentally he knocked his knee against the partition and the first thing he knew Nickleby and Rives came into the outer office on the run. They caught him just as he had reached the door.
"Unless the date has been changed yes. Jimmy overheard Nickleby say he had arranged it that way. It is not likely that the date has been changed, once Jimmy was safely out of the way; Nickleby and Rives would be only too keen to get it over with before some hitch occurred." "Then we're too late!" cried Phil in excitement. "I do not expect you to help me, Mr.
When in Dickens's "Nicholas Nickleby" the coal-heaver calls at the fashionable barber's to be shaved, the barber declines that service. The coal-heaver pleads that he saw a baker being shaved there the day before. But the barber points out to him that it is necessary to draw the line somewhere, and he draws it at bakers.
Mr Nickleby used to say your poor papa, I am speaking of, Kate my dear used to say, that appetite was the best clock in the world, but you have no appetite, my dear Miss Bray, I wish you had, and upon my word I really think you ought to take something that would give you one.

She had known nothing so delightful since the perusal of "Nicholas Nickleby." One afternoon she went to see her cousin, Mrs. Acton, Robert's mother, who was a great invalid, never leaving the house. She came back alone, on foot, across the fields this being a short way which they often used.
Then there was this fifty thousand dollars vanishing so mysteriously and Podmore with a little polishing he would work up into a first-class villain; as he stood he was a joke and it was impossible to imagine him even risking a punch on the nose to capture the girl. Nickleby might be better for the real dirty work or Rives. "Sixty Buckets of Blood or The Hobo's Revenge!" Phil smiled to himself.
'I don't care if I do lose, said Sir Mulberry; 'for one tolerable look at Miss Nickleby's eyes is worth double the money. 'More, said Mr Pyke. 'Far more, said Mr Pluck. 'How goes the enemy, Snobb? asked Sir Mulberry Hawk. 'Four minutes gone. 'Bravo! 'Won't you ma-ake one effort for me, Miss Nickleby? asked Lord Frederick, after a short interval.
He has already struck the note of the normal romance in Nicholas Nickleby; he has already created some of his highest comic characters in Pickwick and The Old Curiosity Shop, but here he betrays the fact that it is still a question what ultimate guide he shall follow.

One good character by Dickens requires all eternity to stretch its legs in; and the characters in his later books are always being tripped up by some tiresome nonsense about the story. For instance, in Dombey and Son, Mrs. Skewton is really very funny. But nobody with a love of the real smell of Dickens would compare her for a moment, for instance, with Mrs. Nickleby.
