Mrs.
Sowerberry
looked
up
with
an
expression
of
considerable
wonderment
.
Mr.
Sowerberry
remarked
it
and
,
without
allowing
time
for
any
observation
on
the
good
lady
's
part
,
proceeded
.
'
I
do
n't
mean
a
regular
mute
to
attend
grown-up
people
,
my
dear
,
but
only
for
children
's
practice
.
It
would
be
very
new
to
have
a
mute
in
proportion
,
my
dear
.
You
may
depend
upon
it
,
it
would
have
a
superb
effect
.
'
Mrs.
Sowerberry
,
who
had
a
good
deal
of
taste
in
the
undertaking
way
,
was
much
struck
by
the
novelty
of
this
idea
;
but
,
as
it
would
have
been
compromising
her
dignity
to
have
said
so
,
under
existing
circumstances
,
she
merely
inquired
,
with
much
sharpness
,
why
such
an
obvious
suggestion
had
not
presented
itself
to
her
husband
's
mind
before
?
Mr.
Sowerberry
rightly
construed
this
,
as
an
acquiescence
in
his
proposition
;
it
was
speedily
determined
,
therefore
,
that
Oliver
should
be
at
once
initiated
into
the
mysteries
of
the
trade
;
and
,
with
this
view
,
that
he
should
accompany
his
master
on
the
very
next
occasion
of
his
services
being
required
.
The
occasion
was
not
long
in
coming
.
Half
an
hour
after
breakfast
next
morning
,
Mr.
Bumble
entered
the
shop
;
and
supporting
his
cane
against
the
counter
,
drew
forth
his
large
leathern
pocket-book
:
from
which
he
selected
a
small
scrap
of
paper
,
which
he
handed
over
to
Sowerberry
.
'
Aha
!
'
said
the
undertaker
,
glancing
over
it
with
a
lively
countenance
;
'
an
order
for
a
coffin
,
eh
?
'
'
For
a
coffin
first
,
and
a
porochial
funeral
afterwards
,
'
replied
Mr.
Bumble
,
fastening
the
strap
of
the
leathern
pocket-book
:
which
,
like
himself
,
was
very
corpulent
.
'
Bayton
,
'
said
the
undertaker
,
looking
from
the
scrap
of
paper
to
Mr.
Bumble
.
'
I
never
heard
the
name
before
.
'
Bumble
shook
his
head
,
as
he
replied
,
'
Obstinate
people
,
Mr.
Sowerberry
;
very
obstinate
.
Proud
,
too
,
I
'm
afraid
,
sir
.
'
'
Proud
,
eh
?
'
exclaimed
Mr.
Sowerberry
with
a
sneer
.
'
Come
,
that
's
too
much
.
