‘
Of
course
she
is
.
’
‘
Aye
,
aye
,
aye
?
’
said
Mr
Meagles
with
much
interest
.
‘
Indeed
,
indeed
?
We
shall
be
glad
to
see
him
.
We
’
ll
entertain
him
as
well
as
we
can
,
in
our
humble
way
;
and
we
shall
not
starve
him
,
I
hope
,
at
all
events
.
’
In
the
beginning
of
this
dialogue
,
Clennam
had
expected
some
great
harmless
outburst
from
Mr
Meagles
,
like
that
which
had
made
him
burst
out
of
the
Circumlocution
Office
,
holding
Doyce
by
the
collar
.
But
his
good
friend
had
a
weakness
which
none
of
us
need
go
into
the
next
street
to
find
,
and
which
no
amount
of
Circumlocution
experience
could
long
subdue
in
him
.
Clennam
looked
at
Doyce
;
but
Doyce
knew
all
about
it
beforehand
,
and
looked
at
his
plate
,
and
made
no
sign
,
and
said
no
word
.
‘
I
am
much
obliged
to
you
,
’
said
Gowan
,
to
conclude
the
subject
.
‘
Clarence
is
a
great
ass
,
but
he
is
one
of
the
dearest
and
best
fellows
that
ever
lived
!
’
It
appeared
,
before
the
breakfast
was
over
,
that
everybody
whom
this
Gowan
knew
was
either
more
or
less
of
an
ass
,
or
more
or
less
of
a
knave
;
but
was
,
notwithstanding
,
the
most
lovable
,
the
most
engaging
,
the
simplest
,
truest
,
kindest
,
dearest
,
best
fellow
that
ever
lived
.
The
process
by
which
this
unvarying
result
was
attained
,
whatever
the
premises
,
might
have
been
stated
by
Mr
Henry
Gowan
thus
:
‘
I
claim
to
be
always
book
-
keeping
,
with
a
peculiar
nicety
,
in
every
man
’
s
case
,
and
posting
up
a
careful
little
account
of
Good
and
Evil
with
him
.
I
do
this
so
conscientiously
,
that
I
am
happy
to
tell
you
I
find
the
most
worthless
of
men
to
be
the
dearest
old
fellow
too
:
and
am
in
a
condition
to
make
the
gratifying
report
,
that
there
is
much
less
difference
than
you
are
inclined
to
suppose
between
an
honest
man
and
a
scoundrel
.
’
The
effect
of
this
cheering
discovery
happened
to
be
,
that
while
he
seemed
to
be
scrupulously
finding
good
in
most
men
,
he
did
in
reality
lower
it
where
it
was
,
and
set
it
up
where
it
was
not
;
but
that
was
its
only
disagreeable
or
dangerous
feature
.
It
scarcely
seemed
,
however
,
to
afford
Mr
Meagles
as
much
satisfaction
as
the
Barnacle
genealogy
had
done
.
The
cloud
that
Clennam
had
never
seen
upon
his
face
before
that
morning
,
frequently
overcast
it
again
;
and
there
was
the
same
shadow
of
uneasy
observation
of
him
on
the
comely
face
of
his
wife
.
More
than
once
or
twice
when
Pet
caressed
the
dog
,
it
appeared
to
Clennam
that
her
father
was
unhappy
in
seeing
her
do
it
;
and
,
in
one
particular
instance
when
Gowan
stood
on
the
other
side
of
the
dog
,
and
bent
his
head
at
the
same
time
,
Arthur
fancied
that
he
saw
tears
rise
to
Mr
Meagles
’
s
eyes
as
he
hurried
out
of
the
room
.
It
was
either
the
fact
too
,
or
he
fancied
further
,
that
Pet
herself
was
not
insensible
to
these
little
incidents
;
that
she
tried
,
with
a
more
delicate
affection
than
usual
,
to
express
to
her
good
father
how
much
she
loved
him
;
that
it
was
on
this
account
that
she
fell
behind
the
rest
,
both
as
they
went
to
church
and
as
they
returned
from
it
,
and
took
his
arm
.
He
could
not
have
sworn
but
that
as
he
walked
alone
in
the
garden
afterwards
,
he
had
an
instantaneous
glimpse
of
her
in
her
father
’
s
room
,
clinging
to
both
her
parents
with
the
greatest
tenderness
,
and
weeping
on
her
father
’
s
shoulder
.
The
latter
part
of
the
day
turning
out
wet
,
they
were
fain
to
keep
the
house
,
look
over
Mr
Meagles
’
s
collection
,
and
beguile
the
time
with
conversation
.
This
Gowan
had
plenty
to
say
for
himself
,
and
said
it
in
an
off
-
hand
and
amusing
manner
.
He
appeared
to
be
an
artist
by
profession
,
and
to
have
been
at
Rome
some
time
;
yet
he
had
a
slight
,
careless
,
amateur
way
with
him
—
a
perceptible
limp
,
both
in
his
devotion
to
art
and
his
attainments
—
which
Clennam
could
scarcely
understand
.
