‘
Aye
,
I
do
;
and
I
am
certain
of
what
I
say
,
that
’
s
better
,
’
returned
the
dwarf
.
‘
You
bring
Trent
to
me
.
Tell
him
I
am
his
friend
and
yours
—
why
shouldn
’
t
I
be
?
’
‘
There
’
s
no
reason
why
you
shouldn
’
t
,
certainly
,
’
replied
Dick
,
‘
and
perhaps
there
are
a
great
many
why
you
should
—
at
least
there
would
be
nothing
strange
in
your
wanting
to
be
my
friend
,
if
you
were
a
choice
spirit
,
but
then
you
know
you
’
re
not
a
choice
spirit
.
’
‘
I
not
a
choice
spirit
?
’
cried
Quilp
.
‘
Devil
a
bit
,
sir
,
’
returned
Dick
.
‘
A
man
of
your
appearance
couldn
’
t
be
.
If
you
’
re
any
spirit
at
all
,
sir
,
you
’
re
an
evil
spirit
.
Choice
spirits
,
’
added
Dick
,
smiting
himself
on
the
breast
,
‘
are
quite
a
different
looking
sort
of
people
,
you
may
take
your
oath
of
that
,
sir
.
’
Quilp
glanced
at
his
free
-
spoken
friend
with
a
mingled
expression
of
cunning
and
dislike
,
and
wringing
his
hand
almost
at
the
same
moment
,
declared
that
he
was
an
uncommon
character
and
had
his
warmest
esteem
.
With
that
they
parted
;
Mr
Swiveller
to
make
the
best
of
his
way
home
and
sleep
himself
sober
;
and
Quilp
to
cogitate
upon
the
discovery
he
had
made
,
and
exult
in
the
prospect
of
the
rich
field
of
enjoyment
and
reprisal
it
opened
to
him
.
It
was
not
without
great
reluctance
and
misgiving
that
Mr
Swiveller
,
next
morning
,
his
head
racked
by
the
fumes
of
the
renowned
Schiedam
,
repaired
to
the
lodging
of
his
friend
Trent
(
which
was
in
the
roof
of
an
old
house
in
an
old
ghostly
inn
)
,
and
recounted
by
very
slow
degrees
what
had
yesterday
taken
place
between
him
and
Quilp
.
Nor
was
it
without
great
surprise
and
much
speculation
on
Quilp
’
s
probable
motives
,
nor
without
many
bitter
comments
on
Dick
Swiveller
’
s
folly
,
that
his
friend
received
the
tale
.
‘
I
don
’
t
defend
myself
,
Fred
,
’
said
the
penitent
Richard
;
‘
but
the
fellow
has
such
a
queer
way
with
him
and
is
such
an
artful
dog
,
that
first
of
all
he
set
me
upon
thinking
whether
there
was
any
harm
in
telling
him
,
and
while
I
was
thinking
,
screwed
it
out
of
me
.
If
you
had
seen
him
drink
and
smoke
,
as
I
did
,
you
couldn
’
t
have
kept
anything
from
him
.
He
’
s
a
Salamander
you
know
,
that
’
s
what
he
is
.
’
Without
inquiring
whether
Salamanders
were
of
necessity
good
confidential
agents
,
or
whether
a
fire
-
proof
man
was
as
a
matter
of
course
trustworthy
,
Frederick
Trent
threw
himself
into
a
chair
,
and
,
burying
his
head
in
his
hands
,
endeavoured
to
fathom
the
motives
which
had
led
Quilp
to
insinuate
himself
into
Richard
Swiveller
’
s
confidence
;
—
for
that
the
disclosure
was
of
his
seeking
,
and
had
not
been
spontaneously
revealed
by
Dick
,
was
sufficiently
plain
from
Quilp
’
s
seeking
his
company
and
enticing
him
away
.
The
dwarf
had
twice
encountered
him
when
he
was
endeavouring
to
obtain
intelligence
of
the
fugitives
.
This
,
perhaps
,
as
he
had
not
shown
any
previous
anxiety
about
them
,
was
enough
to
awaken
suspicion
in
the
breast
of
a
creature
so
jealous
and
distrustful
by
nature
,
setting
aside
any
additional
impulse
to
curiosity
that
he
might
have
derived
from
Dick
’
s
incautious
manner
.
