The
three
places
in
question
were
three
little
rotten
holes
in
this
Island
,
containing
three
little
ignorant
,
drunken
,
guzzling
,
dirty
,
out
-
of
-
the
-
way
constituencies
,
that
had
reeled
into
Mr
Merdle
’
s
pocket
.
Ferdinand
Barnacle
laughed
in
his
easy
way
,
and
airily
said
they
were
a
nice
set
of
fellows
.
Bishop
,
mentally
perambulating
among
paths
of
peace
,
was
altogether
swallowed
up
in
absence
of
mind
.
‘
Pray
,
’
asked
Lord
Decimus
,
casting
his
eyes
around
the
table
,
‘
what
is
this
story
I
have
heard
of
a
gentleman
long
confined
in
a
debtors
’
prison
proving
to
be
of
a
wealthy
family
,
and
having
come
into
the
inheritance
of
a
large
sum
of
money
?
I
have
met
with
a
variety
of
allusions
to
it
.
Do
you
know
anything
of
it
,
Ferdinand
?
’
‘
I
only
know
this
much
,
’
said
Ferdinand
,
‘
that
he
has
given
the
Department
with
which
I
have
the
honour
to
be
associated
;
’
this
sparkling
young
Barnacle
threw
off
the
phrase
sportively
,
as
who
should
say
,
We
know
all
about
these
forms
of
speech
,
but
we
must
keep
it
up
,
we
must
keep
the
game
alive
;
‘
no
end
of
trouble
,
and
has
put
us
into
innumerable
fixes
.
’
‘
Fixes
?
’
repeated
Lord
Decimus
,
with
a
majestic
pausing
and
pondering
on
the
word
that
made
the
bashful
Member
shut
his
eyes
quite
tight
.
‘
Fixes
?
’
‘
A
very
perplexing
business
indeed
,
’
observed
Mr
Tite
Barnacle
,
with
an
air
of
grave
resentment
.
‘
What
,
’
said
Lord
Decimus
,
‘
was
the
character
of
his
business
;
what
was
the
nature
of
these
—
a
—
Fixes
,
Ferdinand
?
’
‘
Oh
,
it
’
s
a
good
story
,
as
a
story
,
’
returned
that
gentleman
;
‘
as
good
a
thing
of
its
kind
as
need
be
.
This
Mr
Dorrit
(
his
name
is
Dorrit
)
had
incurred
a
responsibility
to
us
,
ages
before
the
fairy
came
out
of
the
Bank
and
gave
him
his
fortune
,
under
a
bond
he
had
signed
for
the
performance
of
a
contract
which
was
not
at
all
performed
.
He
was
a
partner
in
a
house
in
some
large
way
—
spirits
,
or
buttons
,
or
wine
,
or
blacking
,
or
oatmeal
,
or
woollen
,
or
pork
,
or
hooks
and
eyes
,
or
iron
,
or
treacle
,
or
shoes
,
or
something
or
other
that
was
wanted
for
troops
,
or
seamen
,
or
somebody
—
and
the
house
burst
,
and
we
being
among
the
creditors
,
detainees
were
lodged
on
the
part
of
the
Crown
in
a
scientific
manner
,
and
all
the
rest
of
it
.
When
the
fairy
had
appeared
and
he
wanted
to
pay
us
off
,
Egad
we
had
got
into
such
an
exemplary
state
of
checking
and
counter
-
checking
,
signing
and
counter
-
signing
,
that
it
was
six
months
before
we
knew
how
to
take
the
money
,
or
how
to
give
a
receipt
for
it
.
It
was
a
triumph
of
public
business
,
’
said
this
handsome
young
Barnacle
,
laughing
heartily
,
‘
You
never
saw
such
a
lot
of
forms
in
your
life
.
“
Why
,
”
the
attorney
said
to
me
one
day
,
“
if
I
wanted
this
office
to
give
me
two
or
three
thousand
pounds
instead
of
take
it
,
I
couldn
’
t
have
more
trouble
about
it
.
”
“
You
are
right
,
old
fellow
,
”
I
told
him
,
“
and
in
future
you
’
ll
know
that
we
have
something
to
do
here
.
”
’
The
pleasant
young
Barnacle
finished
by
once
more
laughing
heartily
.
He
was
a
very
easy
,
pleasant
fellow
indeed
,
and
his
manners
were
exceedingly
winning
.
Mr
Tite
Barnacle
’
s
view
of
the
business
was
of
a
less
airy
character
.
He
took
it
ill
that
Mr
Dorrit
had
troubled
the
Department
by
wanting
to
pay
the
money
,
and
considered
it
a
grossly
informal
thing
to
do
after
so
many
years
.
But
Mr
Tite
Barnacle
was
a
buttoned
-
up
man
,
and
consequently
a
weighty
one
.
All
buttoned
-
up
men
are
weighty
.
All
buttoned
-
up
men
are
believed
in
.
Whether
or
no
the
reserved
and
never
-
exercised
power
of
unbuttoning
,
fascinates
mankind
;
whether
or
no
wisdom
is
supposed
to
condense
and
augment
when
buttoned
up
,
and
to
evaporate
when
unbuttoned
;
it
is
certain
that
the
man
to
whom
importance
is
accorded
is
the
buttoned
-
up
man
.
Mr
Tite
Barnacle
never
would
have
passed
for
half
his
current
value
,
unless
his
coat
had
been
always
buttoned
-
up
to
his
white
cravat
.
