In
the
formal
drawing-room
of
Stone
Lodge
,
standing
on
the
hearthrug
,
warming
himself
before
the
fire
,
Mr.
Bounderby
delivered
some
observations
to
Mrs.
Gradgrind
on
the
circumstance
of
its
being
his
birthday
.
He
stood
before
the
fire
,
partly
because
it
was
a
cool
spring
afternoon
,
though
the
sun
shone
;
partly
because
the
shade
of
Stone
Lodge
was
always
haunted
by
the
ghost
of
damp
mortar
;
partly
because
he
thus
took
up
a
commanding
position
,
from
which
to
subdue
Mrs.
Gradgrind
.
'
I
had
n't
a
shoe
to
my
foot
.
As
to
a
stocking
,
I
did
n't
know
such
a
thing
by
name
.
I
passed
the
day
in
a
ditch
,
and
the
night
in
a
pigsty
.
That
's
the
way
I
spent
my
tenth
birthday
.
Not
that
a
ditch
was
new
to
me
,
for
I
was
born
in
a
ditch
.
'
Mrs.
Gradgrind
,
a
little
,
thin
,
white
,
pink-eyed
bundle
of
shawls
,
of
surpassing
feebleness
,
mental
and
bodily
;
who
was
always
taking
physic
without
any
effect
,
and
who
,
whenever
she
showed
a
symptom
of
coming
to
life
,
was
invariably
stunned
by
some
weighty
piece
of
fact
tumbling
on
her
;
Mrs.
Gradgrind
hoped
it
was
a
dry
ditch
?
'
No
!
As
wet
as
a
sop
.
A
foot
of
water
in
it
,
'
said
Mr.
Bounderby
.
'
Enough
to
give
a
baby
cold
,
'
Mrs.
Gradgrind
considered
.
'
Cold
?
I
was
born
with
inflammation
of
the
lungs
,
and
of
everything
else
,
I
believe
,
that
was
capable
of
inflammation
,
'
returned
Mr.
Bounderby
.
'
For
years
,
ma'am
,
I
was
one
of
the
most
miserable
little
wretches
ever
seen
.
I
was
so
sickly
,
that
I
was
always
moaning
and
groaning
.
I
was
so
ragged
and
dirty
,
that
you
would
n't
have
touched
me
with
a
pair
of
tongs
.
'
Mrs.
Gradgrind
faintly
looked
at
the
tongs
,
as
the
most
appropriate
thing
her
imbecility
could
think
of
doing
.
'
How
I
fought
through
it
,
I
do
n't
know
,
'
said
Bounderby
.
'
I
was
determined
,
I
suppose
.
I
have
been
a
determined
character
in
later
life
,
and
I
suppose
I
was
then
.
Here
I
am
,
Mrs.
Gradgrind
,
anyhow
,
and
nobody
to
thank
for
my
being
here
,
but
myself
.
