Bishop
then
—
jauntily
stepping
out
a
little
with
his
well
-
shaped
right
leg
,
as
though
he
said
to
Mr
Merdle
‘
don
’
t
mind
the
apron
;
a
mere
form
!
’
put
this
case
to
his
good
friend
:
Whether
it
had
occurred
to
his
good
friend
,
that
Society
might
not
unreasonably
hope
that
one
so
blest
in
his
undertakings
,
and
whose
example
on
his
pedestal
was
so
influential
with
it
,
would
shed
a
little
money
in
the
direction
of
a
mission
or
so
to
Africa
?
Mr
Merdle
signifying
that
the
idea
should
have
his
best
attention
,
Bishop
put
another
case
:
Whether
his
good
friend
had
at
all
interested
himself
in
the
proceedings
of
our
Combined
Additional
Endowed
Dignitaries
Committee
,
and
whether
it
had
occurred
to
him
that
to
shed
a
little
money
in
that
direction
might
be
a
great
conception
finely
executed
?
Mr
Merdle
made
a
similar
reply
,
and
Bishop
explained
his
reason
for
inquiring
.
Society
looked
to
such
men
as
his
good
friend
to
do
such
things
.
It
was
not
that
he
looked
to
them
,
but
that
Society
looked
to
them
.
Just
as
it
was
not
Our
Committee
who
wanted
the
Additional
Endowed
Dignitaries
,
but
it
was
Society
that
was
in
a
state
of
the
most
agonising
uneasiness
of
mind
until
it
got
them
.
He
begged
to
assure
his
good
friend
that
he
was
extremely
sensible
of
his
good
friend
’
s
regard
on
all
occasions
for
the
best
interests
of
Society
;
and
he
considered
that
he
was
at
once
consulting
those
interests
and
expressing
the
feeling
of
Society
,
when
he
wished
him
continued
prosperity
,
continued
increase
of
riches
,
and
continued
things
in
general
.
Bishop
then
betook
himself
up
-
stairs
,
and
the
other
magnates
gradually
floated
up
after
him
until
there
was
no
one
left
below
but
Mr
Merdle
.
That
gentleman
,
after
looking
at
the
table
-
cloth
until
the
soul
of
the
chief
butler
glowed
with
a
noble
resentment
,
went
slowly
up
after
the
rest
,
and
became
of
no
account
in
the
stream
of
people
on
the
grand
staircase
.
Mrs
Merdle
was
at
home
,
the
best
of
the
jewels
were
hung
out
to
be
seen
,
Society
got
what
it
came
for
,
Mr
Merdle
drank
twopennyworth
of
tea
in
a
corner
and
got
more
than
he
wanted
.
Among
the
evening
magnates
was
a
famous
physician
,
who
knew
everybody
,
and
whom
everybody
knew
.
On
entering
at
the
door
,
he
came
upon
Mr
Merdle
drinking
his
tea
in
a
corner
,
and
touched
him
on
the
arm
.
Mr
Merdle
started
.
‘
Oh
!
It
’
s
you
!
’
‘
Any
better
to
-
day
?
’
