‘
Miss
Rachael
,
’
roared
the
fat
boy
.
‘
My
da
’
ater
!
’
The
train
of
nods
which
the
fat
boy
gave
by
way
of
assent
,
communicated
a
blanc
-
mange
like
motion
to
his
fat
cheeks
.
‘
And
she
suffered
him
!
’
exclaimed
the
old
lady
.
A
grin
stole
over
the
fat
boy
’
s
features
as
he
said
—
‘
I
see
her
a
-
kissin
’
of
him
agin
.
’
If
Mr
.
Jingle
,
from
his
place
of
concealment
,
could
have
beheld
the
expression
which
the
old
lady
’
s
face
assumed
at
this
communication
,
the
probability
is
that
a
sudden
burst
of
laughter
would
have
betrayed
his
close
vicinity
to
the
summer
-
house
.
He
listened
attentively
.
Fragments
of
angry
sentences
such
as
,
‘
Without
my
permission
!
’
—
‘
At
her
time
of
life
’
—
‘
Miserable
old
‘
ooman
like
me
’
—
‘
Might
have
waited
till
I
was
dead
,
’
and
so
forth
,
reached
his
ears
;
and
then
he
heard
the
heels
of
the
fat
boy
’
s
boots
crunching
the
gravel
,
as
he
retired
and
left
the
old
lady
alone
.
It
was
a
remarkable
coincidence
perhaps
,
but
it
was
nevertheless
a
fact
,
that
Mr
.
Jingle
within
five
minutes
of
his
arrival
at
Manor
Farm
on
the
preceding
night
,
had
inwardly
resolved
to
lay
siege
to
the
heart
of
the
spinster
aunt
,
without
delay
.
He
had
observation
enough
to
see
,
that
his
off
-
hand
manner
was
by
no
means
disagreeable
to
the
fair
object
of
his
attack
;
and
he
had
more
than
a
strong
suspicion
that
she
possessed
that
most
desirable
of
all
requisites
,
a
small
independence
.
The
imperative
necessity
of
ousting
his
rival
by
some
means
or
other
,
flashed
quickly
upon
him
,
and
he
immediately
resolved
to
adopt
certain
proceedings
tending
to
that
end
and
object
,
without
a
moment
’
s
delay
.
Fielding

that

is

and

Mr
.
Jingle
knew
that
young
men
,
to
spinster
aunts
,
are
as
lighted
gas
to
gunpowder
,
and
he
determined
to
essay
the
effect
of
an
explosion
without
loss
of
time
.
Full
of
reflections
upon
this
important
decision
,
he
crept
from
his
place
of
concealment
,
and
,
under
cover
of
the
shrubs
before
mentioned
,
approached
the
house
.
Fortune
seemed
determined
to
favour
his
design
.
Mr
.
Tupman
and
the
rest
of
the
gentlemen
left
the
garden
by
the
side
gate
just
as
he
obtained
a
view
of
it
;
and
the
young
ladies
,
he
knew
,
had
walked
out
alone
,
soon
after
breakfast
.
The
coast
was
clear
.
