‘
For
the
matter
of
that
,
’
returned
Clennam
laughing
,
‘
I
have
not
a
large
proprietary
share
in
Cavalletto
.
His
carving
is
his
livelihood
.
He
keeps
the
keys
of
the
Factory
,
watches
it
every
alternate
night
,
and
acts
as
a
sort
of
housekeeper
to
it
generally
;
but
we
have
little
work
in
the
way
of
his
ingenuity
,
though
we
give
him
what
we
have
.
No
!
I
am
rather
his
adviser
than
his
proprietor
.
To
call
me
his
standing
counsel
and
his
banker
would
be
nearer
the
fact
.
Speaking
of
being
his
banker
,
is
it
not
curious
,
Pancks
,
that
the
ventures
which
run
just
now
in
so
many
people
’
s
heads
,
should
run
even
in
little
Cavalletto
’
s
?
’
‘
Ventures
?
’
retorted
Pancks
,
with
a
snort
.
‘
What
ventures
?
’
‘
These
Merdle
enterprises
.
’
‘
Oh
!
Investments
,
’
said
Pancks
.
‘
Ay
,
ay
!
I
didn
’
t
know
you
were
speaking
of
investments
.
’
His
quick
way
of
replying
caused
Clennam
to
look
at
him
,
with
a
doubt
whether
he
meant
more
than
he
said
.
As
it
was
accompanied
,
however
,
with
a
quickening
of
his
pace
and
a
corresponding
increase
in
the
labouring
of
his
machinery
,
Arthur
did
not
pursue
the
matter
,
and
they
soon
arrived
at
his
house
.
A
dinner
of
soup
and
a
pigeon
-
pie
,
served
on
a
little
round
table
before
the
fire
,
and
flavoured
with
a
bottle
of
good
wine
,
oiled
Mr
Pancks
’
s
works
in
a
highly
effective
manner
;
so
that
when
Clennam
produced
his
Eastern
pipe
,
and
handed
Mr
Pancks
another
Eastern
pipe
,
the
latter
gentleman
was
perfectly
comfortable
.
They
puffed
for
a
while
in
silence
,
Mr
Pancks
like
a
steam
-
vessel
with
wind
,
tide
,
calm
water
,
and
all
other
sea
-
going
conditions
in
her
favour
.
He
was
the
first
to
speak
,
and
he
spoke
thus
:
‘
Yes
.
Investments
is
the
word
.
’
Clennam
,
with
his
former
look
,
said
‘
Ah
!
’
‘
I
am
going
back
to
it
,
you
see
,
’
said
Pancks
.
