A
diversion
was
occasioned
here
,
by
Mr
F
.
‘
s
Aunt
making
the
following
inexorable
and
awful
statement
:
‘
There
’
s
mile
-
stones
on
the
Dover
road
!
’
With
such
mortal
hostility
towards
the
human
race
did
she
discharge
this
missile
,
that
Clennam
was
quite
at
a
loss
how
to
defend
himself
;
the
rather
as
he
had
been
already
perplexed
in
his
mind
by
the
honour
of
a
visit
from
this
venerable
lady
,
when
it
was
plain
she
held
him
in
the
utmost
abhorrence
.
He
could
not
but
look
at
her
with
disconcertment
,
as
she
sat
breathing
bitterness
and
scorn
,
and
staring
leagues
away
.
Flora
,
however
,
received
the
remark
as
if
it
had
been
of
a
most
apposite
and
agreeable
nature
;
approvingly
observing
aloud
that
Mr
F
.
‘
s
Aunt
had
a
great
deal
of
spirit
.
Stimulated
either
by
this
compliment
,
or
by
her
burning
indignation
,
that
illustrious
woman
then
added
,
‘
Let
him
meet
it
if
he
can
!
’
And
,
with
a
rigid
movement
of
her
stony
reticule
(
an
appendage
of
great
size
and
of
a
fossil
appearance
)
,
indicated
that
Clennam
was
the
unfortunate
person
at
whom
the
challenge
was
hurled
.
‘
One
last
remark
,
’
resumed
Flora
,
‘
I
was
going
to
say
I
wish
to
make
one
last
explanation
I
wish
to
offer
,
Mr
F
.
‘
s
Aunt
and
myself
would
not
have
intruded
on
business
hours
Mr
F
.
having
been
in
business
and
though
the
wine
trade
still
business
is
equally
business
call
it
what
you
will
and
business
habits
are
just
the
same
as
witness
Mr
F
.
himself
who
had
his
slippers
always
on
the
mat
at
ten
minutes
before
six
in
the
afternoon
and
his
boots
inside
the
fender
at
ten
minutes
before
eight
in
the
morning
to
the
moment
in
all
weathers
light
or
dark
—
would
not
therefore
have
intruded
without
a
motive
which
being
kindly
meant
it
may
be
hoped
will
be
kindly
taken
Arthur
,
Mr
Clennam
far
more
proper
,
even
Doyce
and
Clennam
probably
more
business
-
like
.
’
‘
Pray
say
nothing
in
the
way
of
apology
,
’
Arthur
entreated
.
‘
You
are
always
welcome
.
’
‘
Very
polite
of
you
to
say
so
Arthur
—
cannot
remember
Mr
Clennam
until
the
word
is
out
,
such
is
the
habit
of
times
for
ever
fled
,
and
so
true
it
is
that
oft
in
the
stilly
night
ere
slumber
’
s
chain
has
bound
people
,
fond
memory
brings
the
light
of
other
days
around
people
—
very
polite
but
more
polite
than
true
I
am
afraid
,
for
to
go
into
the
machinery
business
without
so
much
as
sending
a
line
or
a
card
to
papa
—
I
don
’
t
say
me
though
there
was
a
time
but
that
is
past
and
stern
reality
has
now
my
gracious
never
mind
—
does
not
look
like
it
you
must
confess
.
’
Even
Flora
’
s
commas
seemed
to
have
fled
on
this
occasion
;
she
was
so
much
more
disjointed
and
voluble
than
in
the
preceding
interview
.
‘
Though
indeed
,
’
she
hurried
on
,
‘
nothing
else
is
to
be
expected
and
why
should
it
be
expected
and
if
it
’
s
not
to
be
expected
why
should
it
be
,
and
I
am
far
from
blaming
you
or
any
one
,
When
your
mama
and
my
papa
worried
us
to
death
and
severed
the
golden
bowl
—
I
mean
bond
but
I
dare
say
you
know
what
I
mean
and
if
you
don
’
t
you
don
’
t
lose
much
and
care
just
as
little
I
will
venture
to
add
—
when
they
severed
the
golden
bond
that
bound
us
and
threw
us
into
fits
of
crying
on
the
sofa
nearly
choked
at
least
myself
everything
was
changed
and
in
giving
my
hand
to
Mr
F
.
I
know
I
did
so
with
my
eyes
open
but
he
was
so
very
unsettled
and
in
such
low
spirits
that
he
had
distractedly
alluded
to
the
river
if
not
oil
of
something
from
the
chemist
’
s
and
I
did
it
for
the
best
.
