Mr
Sparkler
referred
to
his
pulse
again
,
and
put
himself
through
some
severe
mental
discipline
before
he
replied
:
‘
Fellers
referring
to
my
Governor
—
expression
not
my
own
—
occasionally
compliment
my
Governor
in
a
very
handsome
way
on
being
immensely
rich
and
knowing
—
perfect
phenomenon
of
Buyer
and
Banker
and
that
—
but
say
the
Shop
sits
heavily
on
him
.
Say
he
carried
the
Shop
about
,
on
his
back
rather
—
like
Jew
clothesmen
with
too
much
business
.
’
‘
Which
,
’
said
Mrs
Merdle
,
rising
,
with
her
floating
drapery
about
her
,
‘
is
exactly
my
complaint
.
Edmund
,
give
me
your
arm
up
-
stairs
.
’
Mr
Merdle
,
left
alone
to
meditate
on
a
better
conformation
of
himself
to
Society
,
looked
out
of
nine
windows
in
succession
,
and
appeared
to
see
nine
wastes
of
space
.
When
he
had
thus
entertained
himself
he
went
down
-
stairs
,
and
looked
intently
at
all
the
carpets
on
the
ground
-
floor
;
and
then
came
up
-
stairs
again
,
and
looked
intently
at
all
the
carpets
on
the
first
-
floor
;
as
if
they
were
gloomy
depths
,
in
unison
with
his
oppressed
soul
.
Through
all
the
rooms
he
wandered
,
as
he
always
did
,
like
the
last
person
on
earth
who
had
any
business
to
approach
them
.
Let
Mrs
Merdle
announce
,
with
all
her
might
,
that
she
was
at
Home
ever
so
many
nights
in
a
season
,
she
could
not
announce
more
widely
and
unmistakably
than
Mr
Merdle
did
that
he
was
never
at
home
.
At
last
he
met
the
chief
butler
,
the
sight
of
which
splendid
retainer
always
finished
him
.
Extinguished
by
this
great
creature
,
he
sneaked
to
his
dressing
-
room
,
and
there
remained
shut
up
until
he
rode
out
to
dinner
,
with
Mrs
Merdle
,
in
her
own
handsome
chariot
At
dinner
,
he
was
envied
and
flattered
as
a
being
of
might
,
was
Treasuried
,
Barred
,
and
Bishoped
,
as
much
as
he
would
;
and
an
hour
after
midnight
came
home
alone
,
and
being
instantly
put
out
again
in
his
own
hall
,
like
a
rushlight
,
by
the
chief
butler
,
went
sighing
to
bed
.
Mr
Henry
Gowan
and
the
dog
were
established
frequenters
of
the
cottage
,
and
the
day
was
fixed
for
the
wedding
.
There
was
to
be
a
convocation
of
Barnacles
on
the
occasion
,
in
order
that
that
very
high
and
very
large
family
might
shed
as
much
lustre
on
the
marriage
as
so
dim
an
event
was
capable
of
receiving
.
To
have
got
the
whole
Barnacle
family
together
would
have
been
impossible
for
two
reasons
.
Firstly
,
because
no
building
could
have
held
all
the
members
and
connections
of
that
illustrious
house
.
Secondly
,
because
wherever
there
was
a
square
yard
of
ground
in
British
occupation
under
the
sun
or
moon
,
with
a
public
post
upon
it
,
sticking
to
that
post
was
a
Barnacle
.
No
intrepid
navigator
could
plant
a
flag
-
staff
upon
any
spot
of
earth
,
and
take
possession
of
it
in
the
British
name
,
but
to
that
spot
of
earth
,
so
soon
as
the
discovery
was
known
,
the
Circumlocution
Office
sent
out
a
Barnacle
and
a
despatch
-
box
.
Thus
the
Barnacles
were
all
over
the
world
,
in
every
direction
—
despatch
-
boxing
the
compass
.
But
,
while
the
so
-
potent
art
of
Prospero
himself
would
have
failed
in
summoning
the
Barnacles
from
every
speck
of
ocean
and
dry
land
on
which
there
was
nothing
(
except
mischief
)
to
be
done
and
anything
to
be
pocketed
,
it
was
perfectly
feasible
to
assemble
a
good
many
Barnacles
.
This
Mrs
Gowan
applied
herself
to
do
;
calling
on
Mr
Meagles
frequently
with
new
additions
to
the
list
,
and
holding
conferences
with
that
gentleman
when
he
was
not
engaged
(
as
he
generally
was
at
this
period
)
in
examining
and
paying
the
debts
of
his
future
son
-
in
-
law
,
in
the
apartment
of
scales
and
scoop
.
One
marriage
guest
there
was
,
in
reference
to
whose
presence
Mr
Meagles
felt
a
nearer
interest
and
concern
than
in
the
attendance
of
the
most
elevated
Barnacle
expected
;
though
he
was
far
from
insensible
of
the
honour
of
having
such
company
.
This
guest
was
Clennam
.
But
Clennam
had
made
a
promise
he
held
sacred
,
among
the
trees
that
summer
night
,
and
,
in
the
chivalry
of
his
heart
,
regarded
it
as
binding
him
to
many
implied
obligations
.
In
forgetfulness
of
himself
,
and
delicate
service
to
her
on
all
occasions
,
he
was
never
to
fail
;
to
begin
it
,
he
answered
Mr
Meagles
cheerfully
,
‘
I
shall
come
,
of
course
.
’
