Mrs
Gowan
,
looking
over
her
green
fan
when
this
young
gentleman
’
s
name
was
mentioned
,
replied
as
follows
:
‘
My
love
,
you
know
the
wretched
state
of
the
country
—
those
unfortunate
concessions
of
John
Barnacle
’
s
!
—
and
you
therefore
know
the
reasons
for
my
being
as
poor
as
Thingummy
.
’
‘
A
church
mouse
?
’
Mrs
Merdle
suggested
with
a
smile
.
‘
I
was
thinking
of
the
other
proverbial
church
person
—
Job
,
’
said
Mrs
Gowan
.
‘
Either
will
do
.
It
would
be
idle
to
disguise
,
consequently
,
that
there
is
a
wide
difference
between
the
position
of
your
son
and
mine
.
I
may
add
,
too
,
that
Henry
has
talent
—
’
‘
Which
Edmund
certainly
has
not
,
’
said
Mrs
Merdle
,
with
the
greatest
suavity
.
‘
—
and
that
his
talent
,
combined
with
disappointment
,
’
Mrs
Gowan
went
on
,
‘
has
led
him
into
a
pursuit
which
—
ah
dear
me
!
You
know
,
my
dear
.
Such
being
Henry
’
s
different
position
,
the
question
is
what
is
the
most
inferior
class
of
marriage
to
which
I
can
reconcile
myself
.
’
Mrs
Merdle
was
so
much
engaged
with
the
contemplation
of
her
arms
(
beautiful
-
formed
arms
,
and
the
very
thing
for
bracelets
)
,
that
she
omitted
to
reply
for
a
while
.
Roused
at
length
by
the
silence
,
she
folded
the
arms
,
and
with
admirable
presence
of
mind
looked
her
friend
full
in
the
face
,
and
said
interrogatively
,
‘
Ye
-
es
?
And
then
?
’
‘
And
then
,
my
dear
,
’
said
Mrs
Gowan
not
quite
so
sweetly
as
before
,
‘
I
should
be
glad
to
hear
what
you
have
to
say
to
it
.
’
Here
the
parrot
,
who
had
been
standing
on
one
leg
since
he
screamed
last
,
burst
into
a
fit
of
laughter
,
bobbed
himself
derisively
up
and
down
on
both
legs
,
and
finished
by
standing
on
one
leg
again
,
and
pausing
for
a
reply
,
with
his
head
as
much
awry
as
he
could
possibly
twist
it
.
