When
I
had
done
tumbling
over
Traddles
,
and
had
sat
upon
something
which
was
not
a
cat
—
my
first
seat
was
—
I
so
far
recovered
my
sight
,
as
to
perceive
that
Mr
.
Spenlow
had
evidently
been
the
youngest
of
the
family
;
that
there
was
a
disparity
of
six
or
eight
years
between
the
two
sisters
;
and
that
the
younger
appeared
to
be
the
manager
of
the
conference
,
inasmuch
as
she
had
my
letter
in
her
hand
—
so
familiar
as
it
looked
to
me
,
and
yet
so
odd
!
—
and
was
referring
to
it
through
an
eye
-
glass
.
They
were
dressed
alike
,
but
this
sister
wore
her
dress
with
a
more
youthful
air
than
the
other
;
and
perhaps
had
a
trifle
more
frill
,
or
tucker
,
or
brooch
,
or
bracelet
,
or
some
little
thing
of
that
kind
,
which
made
her
look
more
lively
.
They
were
both
upright
in
their
carriage
,
formal
,
precise
,
composed
,
and
quiet
.
The
sister
who
had
not
my
letter
,
had
her
arms
crossed
on
her
breast
,
and
resting
on
each
other
,
like
an
Idol
.
‘
Mr
.
Copperfield
,
I
believe
,
’
said
the
sister
who
had
got
my
letter
,
addressing
herself
to
Traddles
.
This
was
a
frightful
beginning
.
Traddles
had
to
indicate
that
I
was
Mr
.
Copperfield
,
and
I
had
to
lay
claim
to
myself
,
and
they
had
to
divest
themselves
of
a
preconceived
opinion
that
Traddles
was
Mr
.
Copperfield
,
and
altogether
we
were
in
a
nice
condition
.
To
improve
it
,
we
all
distinctly
heard
Jip
give
two
short
barks
,
and
receive
another
choke
.
‘
Mr
.
Copperfield
!
’
said
the
sister
with
the
letter
.
I
did
something
—
bowed
,
I
suppose
—
and
was
all
attention
,
when
the
other
sister
struck
in
.
‘
My
sister
Lavinia
,
’
said
she
‘
being
conversant
with
matters
of
this
nature
,
will
state
what
we
consider
most
calculated
to
promote
the
happiness
of
both
parties
.
’
I
discovered
afterwards
that
Miss
Lavinia
was
an
authority
in
affairs
of
the
heart
,
by
reason
of
there
having
anciently
existed
a
certain
Mr
.
Pidger
,
who
played
short
whist
,
and
was
supposed
to
have
been
enamoured
of
her
.
My
private
opinion
is
,
that
this
was
entirely
a
gratuitous
assumption
,
and
that
Pidger
was
altogether
innocent
of
any
such
sentiments
—
to
which
he
had
never
given
any
sort
of
expression
that
I
could
ever
hear
of
.
Both
Miss
Lavinia
and
Miss
Clarissa
had
a
superstition
,
however
,
that
he
would
have
declared
his
passion
,
if
he
had
not
been
cut
short
in
his
youth
(
at
about
sixty
)
by
over
-
drinking
his
constitution
,
and
over
-
doing
an
attempt
to
set
it
right
again
by
swilling
Bath
water
.
They
had
a
lurking
suspicion
even
,
that
he
died
of
secret
love
;
though
I
must
say
there
was
a
picture
of
him
in
the
house
with
a
damask
nose
,
which
concealment
did
not
appear
to
have
ever
preyed
upon
.
‘
We
will
not
,
’
said
Miss
Lavinia
,
‘
enter
on
the
past
history
of
this
matter
.
Our
poor
brother
Francis
’
s
death
has
cancelled
that
.
’
‘
We
had
not
,
’
said
Miss
Clarissa
,
‘
been
in
the
habit
of
frequent
association
with
our
brother
Francis
;
but
there
was
no
decided
division
or
disunion
between
us
.
Francis
took
his
road
;
we
took
ours
.
We
considered
it
conducive
to
the
happiness
of
all
parties
that
it
should
be
so
.
And
it
was
so
.
