We
are
here
before
you
,
you
see
,
Christopher
,
’
said
Mr
Garland
smiling
.
‘
Yes
,
sir
,
’
said
Kit
;
and
as
he
said
it
,
he
looked
towards
his
mother
for
an
explanation
of
the
visit
.
‘
The
gentleman
’
s
been
kind
enough
,
my
dear
,
’
said
she
,
in
reply
to
this
mute
interrogation
,
‘
to
ask
me
whether
you
were
in
a
good
place
,
or
in
any
place
at
all
,
and
when
I
told
him
no
,
you
were
not
in
any
,
he
was
so
good
as
to
say
that
—
’
‘
—
That
we
wanted
a
good
lad
in
our
house
,
’
said
the
old
gentleman
and
the
old
lady
both
together
,
‘
and
that
perhaps
we
might
think
of
it
,
if
we
found
everything
as
we
would
wish
it
to
be
.
’
As
this
thinking
of
it
,
plainly
meant
the
thinking
of
engaging
Kit
,
he
immediately
partook
of
his
mother
’
s
anxiety
and
fell
into
a
great
flutter
;
for
the
little
old
couple
were
very
methodical
and
cautious
,
and
asked
so
many
questions
that
he
began
to
be
afraid
there
was
no
chance
of
his
success
.
‘
You
see
,
my
good
woman
,
’
said
Mrs
Garland
to
Kit
’
s
mother
,
‘
that
it
’
s
necessary
to
be
very
careful
and
particular
in
such
a
matter
as
this
,
for
we
’
re
only
three
in
family
,
and
are
very
quiet
regular
folks
,
and
it
would
be
a
sad
thing
if
we
made
any
kind
of
mistake
,
and
found
things
different
from
what
we
hoped
and
expected
.
’
To
this
,
Kit
’
s
mother
replied
,
that
certainly
it
was
quite
true
,
and
quite
right
,
and
quite
proper
,
and
Heaven
forbid
that
she
should
shrink
,
or
have
cause
to
shrink
,
from
any
inquiry
into
her
character
or
that
of
her
son
,
who
was
a
very
good
son
though
she
was
his
mother
,
in
which
respect
,
she
was
bold
to
say
,
he
took
after
his
father
,
who
was
not
only
a
good
son
to
his
mother
,
but
the
best
of
husbands
and
the
best
of
fathers
besides
,
which
Kit
could
and
would
corroborate
she
knew
,
and
so
would
little
Jacob
and
the
baby
likewise
if
they
were
old
enough
,
which
unfortunately
they
were
not
,
though
as
they
didn
’
t
know
what
a
loss
they
had
had
,
perhaps
it
was
a
great
deal
better
that
they
should
be
as
young
as
they
were
;
and
so
Kit
’
s
mother
wound
up
a
long
story
by
wiping
her
eyes
with
her
apron
,
and
patting
little
Jacob
’
s
head
,
who
was
rocking
the
cradle
and
staring
with
all
his
might
at
the
strange
lady
and
gentleman
.
When
Kit
’
s
mother
had
done
speaking
,
the
old
lady
struck
in
again
,
and
said
that
she
was
quite
sure
she
was
a
very
honest
and
very
respectable
person
or
she
never
would
have
expressed
herself
in
that
manner
,
and
that
certainly
the
appearance
of
the
children
and
the
cleanliness
of
the
house
deserved
great
praise
and
did
her
the
utmost
credit
,
whereat
Kit
’
s
mother
dropped
a
curtsey
and
became
consoled
.
Then
the
good
woman
entered
in
a
long
and
minute
account
of
Kit
’
s
life
and
history
from
the
earliest
period
down
to
that
time
,
not
omitting
to
make
mention
of
his
miraculous
fall
out
of
a
back
-
parlour
window
when
an
infant
of
tender
years
,
or
his
uncommon
sufferings
in
a
state
of
measles
,
which
were
illustrated
by
correct
imitations
of
the
plaintive
manner
in
which
he
called
for
toast
and
water
,
day
and
night
,
and
said
,
‘
don
’
t
cry
,
mother
,
I
shall
soon
be
better
;
’
for
proof
of
which
statements
reference
was
made
to
Mrs
Green
,
lodger
,
at
the
cheesemonger
’
s
round
the
corner
,
and
divers
other
ladies
and
gentlemen
in
various
parts
of
England
and
Wales
(
and
one
Mr
Brown
who
was
supposed
to
be
then
a
corporal
in
the
East
Indies
,
and
who
could
of
course
be
found
with
very
little
trouble
)
,
within
whose
personal
knowledge
the
circumstances
had
occurred
.
This
narration
ended
,
Mr
Garland
put
some
questions
to
Kit
respecting
his
qualifications
and
general
acquirements
,
while
Mrs
Garland
noticed
the
children
,
and
hearing
from
Kit
’
s
mother
certain
remarkable
circumstances
which
had
attended
the
birth
of
each
,
related
certain
other
remarkable
circumstances
which
had
attended
the
birth
of
her
own
son
,
Mr
Abel
,
from
which
it
appeared
that
both
Kit
’
s
mother
and
herself
had
been
,
above
and
beyond
all
other
women
of
what
condition
or
age
soever
,
peculiarly
hemmed
in
with
perils
and
dangers
.
