"
I
could
not
help
thinking
that
it
might
be
harder
if
the
butcher
’
s
time
and
attention
were
diverted
from
dear
Mrs
.
Pocket
;
but
I
said
nothing
,
and
indeed
had
enough
to
do
in
keeping
a
bashful
watch
upon
my
company
manners
.
It
came
to
my
knowledge
,
through
what
passed
between
Mrs
.
Pocket
and
Drummle
while
I
was
attentive
to
my
knife
and
fork
,
spoon
,
glasses
,
and
other
instruments
of
self
-
destruction
,
that
Drummle
,
whose
Christian
name
was
Bentley
,
was
actually
the
next
heir
but
one
to
a
baronetcy
.
It
further
appeared
that
the
book
I
had
seen
Mrs
.
Pocket
reading
in
the
garden
was
all
about
titles
,
and
that
she
knew
the
exact
date
at
which
her
grandpapa
would
have
come
into
the
book
,
if
he
ever
had
come
at
all
.
Drummle
didn
’
t
say
much
,
but
in
his
limited
way
(
he
struck
me
as
a
sulky
kind
of
fellow
)
he
spoke
as
one
of
the
elect
,
and
recognized
Mrs
.
Pocket
as
a
woman
and
a
sister
.
No
one
but
themselves
and
Mrs
.
Coiler
the
toady
neighbor
showed
any
interest
in
this
part
of
the
conversation
,
and
it
appeared
to
me
that
it
was
painful
to
Herbert
;
but
it
promised
to
last
a
long
time
,
when
the
page
came
in
with
the
announcement
of
a
domestic
affliction
.
It
was
,
in
effect
,
that
the
cook
had
mislaid
the
beef
.
To
my
unutterable
amazement
,
I
now
,
for
the
first
time
,
saw
Mr
.
Pocket
relieve
his
mind
by
going
through
a
performance
that
struck
me
as
very
extraordinary
,
but
which
made
no
impression
on
anybody
else
,
and
with
which
I
soon
became
as
familiar
as
the
rest
.
He
laid
down
the
carving
-
knife
and
fork
—
being
engaged
in
carving
,
at
the
moment
—
put
his
two
hands
into
his
disturbed
hair
,
and
appeared
to
make
an
extraordinary
effort
to
lift
himself
up
by
it
.
When
he
had
done
this
,
and
had
not
lifted
himself
up
at
all
,
he
quietly
went
on
with
what
he
was
about
.
Mrs
.
Coiler
then
changed
the
subject
and
began
to
flatter
me
.
I
liked
it
for
a
few
moments
,
but
she
flattered
me
so
very
grossly
that
the
pleasure
was
soon
over
.
She
had
a
serpentine
way
of
coming
close
at
me
when
she
pretended
to
be
vitally
interested
in
the
friends
and
localities
I
had
left
,
which
was
altogether
snaky
and
fork
-
tongued
;
and
when
she
made
an
occasional
bounce
upon
Startop
(
who
said
very
little
to
her
)
,
or
upon
Drummle
(
who
said
less
)
,
I
rather
envied
them
for
being
on
the
opposite
side
of
the
table
.
After
dinner
the
children
were
introduced
,
and
Mrs
.
Coiler
made
admiring
comments
on
their
eyes
,
noses
,
and
legs
—
a
sagacious
way
of
improving
their
minds
.
There
were
four
little
girls
,
and
two
little
boys
,
besides
the
baby
who
might
have
been
either
,
and
the
baby
’
s
next
successor
who
was
as
yet
neither
.
They
were
brought
in
by
Flopson
and
Millers
,
much
as
though
those
two
non
-
commissioned
officers
had
been
recruiting
somewhere
for
children
and
had
enlisted
these
,
while
Mrs
.
Pocket
looked
at
the
young
Nobles
that
ought
to
have
been
as
if
she
rather
thought
she
had
had
the
pleasure
of
inspecting
them
before
,
but
didn
’
t
quite
know
what
to
make
of
them
.
"
Here
!
Give
me
your
fork
,
Mum
,
and
take
the
baby
,
"
said
Flopson
.
"
Don
’
t
take
it
that
way
,
or
you
’
ll
get
its
head
under
the
table
.
"
Thus
advised
,
Mrs
.
Pocket
took
it
the
other
way
,
and
got
its
head
upon
the
table
;
which
was
announced
to
all
present
by
a
prodigious
concussion
.
"
Dear
,
dear
!
Give
it
me
back
,
Mum
,
"
said
Flopson
;
"
and
Miss
Jane
,
come
and
dance
to
baby
,
do
!
"
One
of
the
little
girls
,
a
mere
mite
who
seemed
to
have
prematurely
taken
upon
herself
some
charge
of
the
others
,
stepped
out
of
her
place
by
me
,
and
danced
to
and
from
the
baby
until
it
left
off
crying
,
and
laughed
.
Then
,
all
the
children
laughed
,
and
Mr
.
Pocket
(
who
in
the
meantime
had
twice
endeavored
to
lift
himself
up
by
the
hair
)
laughed
,
and
we
all
laughed
and
were
glad
.
