‘
And
if
any
pleasure
,
’
she
said
after
a
short
pause
,
‘
could
arise
for
me
out
of
the
disappointment
of
my
expectations
that
my
son
,
in
the
prime
of
his
life
,
would
infuse
new
youth
and
strength
into
it
,
and
make
it
of
great
profit
and
power
,
it
would
be
in
advancing
an
old
and
faithful
servant
.
Jeremiah
,
the
captain
deserts
the
ship
,
but
you
and
I
will
sink
or
float
with
it
.
’
Jeremiah
,
whose
eyes
glistened
as
if
they
saw
money
,
darted
a
sudden
look
at
the
son
,
which
seemed
to
say
,
‘
I
owe
you
no
thanks
for
this
;
you
have
done
nothing
towards
it
!
’
and
then
told
the
mother
that
he
thanked
her
,
and
that
Affery
thanked
her
,
and
that
he
would
never
desert
her
,
and
that
Affery
would
never
desert
her
.
Finally
,
he
hauled
up
his
watch
from
its
depths
,
and
said
,
‘
Eleven
.
Time
for
your
oysters
!
’
and
with
that
change
of
subject
,
which
involved
no
change
of
expression
or
manner
,
rang
the
bell
.
But
Mrs
Clennam
,
resolved
to
treat
herself
with
the
greater
rigour
for
having
been
supposed
to
be
unacquainted
with
reparation
,
refused
to
eat
her
oysters
when
they
were
brought
.
They
looked
tempting
;
eight
in
number
,
circularly
set
out
on
a
white
plate
on
a
tray
covered
with
a
white
napkin
,
flanked
by
a
slice
of
buttered
French
roll
,
and
a
little
compact
glass
of
cool
wine
and
water
;
but
she
resisted
all
persuasions
,
and
sent
them
down
again
—
placing
the
act
to
her
credit
,
no
doubt
,
in
her
Eternal
Day
-
Book
.
This
refection
of
oysters
was
not
presided
over
by
Affery
,
but
by
the
girl
who
had
appeared
when
the
bell
was
rung
;
the
same
who
had
been
in
the
dimly
-
lighted
room
last
night
.
Now
that
he
had
an
opportunity
of
observing
her
,
Arthur
found
that
her
diminutive
figure
,
small
features
,
and
slight
spare
dress
,
gave
her
the
appearance
of
being
much
younger
than
she
was
.
A
woman
,
probably
of
not
less
than
two
-
and
-
twenty
,
she
might
have
been
passed
in
the
street
for
little
more
than
half
that
age
.
Not
that
her
face
was
very
youthful
,
for
in
truth
there
was
more
consideration
and
care
in
it
than
naturally
belonged
to
her
utmost
years
;
but
she
was
so
little
and
light
,
so
noiseless
and
shy
,
and
appeared
so
conscious
of
being
out
of
place
among
the
three
hard
elders
,
that
she
had
all
the
manner
and
much
of
the
appearance
of
a
subdued
child
.
In
a
hard
way
,
and
in
an
uncertain
way
that
fluctuated
between
patronage
and
putting
down
,
the
sprinkling
from
a
watering
-
pot
and
hydraulic
pressure
,
Mrs
Clennam
showed
an
interest
in
this
dependent
.
Even
in
the
moment
of
her
entrance
,
upon
the
violent
ringing
of
the
bell
,
when
the
mother
shielded
herself
with
that
singular
action
from
the
son
,
Mrs
Clennam
’
s
eyes
had
had
some
individual
recognition
in
them
,
which
seemed
reserved
for
her
.
As
there
are
degrees
of
hardness
in
the
hardest
metal
,
and
shades
of
colour
in
black
itself
,
so
,
even
in
the
asperity
of
Mrs
Clennam
’
s
demeanour
towards
all
the
rest
of
humanity
and
towards
Little
Dorrit
,
there
was
a
fine
gradation
.
Little
Dorrit
let
herself
out
to
do
needlework
.
At
so
much
a
day
—
or
at
so
little
—
from
eight
to
eight
,
Little
Dorrit
was
to
be
hired
.
Punctual
to
the
moment
,
Little
Dorrit
appeared
;
punctual
to
the
moment
,
Little
Dorrit
vanished
.
What
became
of
Little
Dorrit
between
the
two
eights
was
a
mystery
.
Another
of
the
moral
phenomena
of
Little
Dorrit
.
Besides
her
consideration
money
,
her
daily
contract
included
meals
.
She
had
an
extraordinary
repugnance
to
dining
in
company
;
would
never
do
so
,
if
it
were
possible
to
escape
.
Would
always
plead
that
she
had
this
bit
of
work
to
begin
first
,
or
that
bit
of
work
to
finish
first
;
and
would
,
of
a
certainty
,
scheme
and
plan
—
not
very
cunningly
,
it
would
seem
,
for
she
deceived
no
one
—
to
dine
alone
.
Successful
in
this
,
happy
in
carrying
off
her
plate
anywhere
,
to
make
a
table
of
her
lap
,
or
a
box
,
or
the
ground
,
or
even
as
was
supposed
,
to
stand
on
tip
-
toe
,
dining
moderately
at
a
mantel
-
shelf
;
the
great
anxiety
of
Little
Dorrit
’
s
day
was
set
at
rest
.
It
was
not
easy
to
make
out
Little
Dorrit
’
s
face
;
she
was
so
retiring
,
plied
her
needle
in
such
removed
corners
,
and
started
away
so
scared
if
encountered
on
the
stairs
.
But
it
seemed
to
be
a
pale
transparent
face
,
quick
in
expression
,
though
not
beautiful
in
feature
,
its
soft
hazel
eyes
excepted
.
A
delicately
bent
head
,
a
tiny
form
,
a
quick
little
pair
of
busy
hands
,
and
a
shabby
dress
—
it
must
needs
have
been
very
shabby
to
look
at
all
so
,
being
so
neat
—
were
Little
Dorrit
as
she
sat
at
work
.
For
these
particulars
or
generalities
concerning
Little
Dorrit
,
Mr
Arthur
was
indebted
in
the
course
of
the
day
to
his
own
eyes
and
to
Mrs
Affery
’
s
tongue
.
