Five
shillings
,
’
returned
Mr
Slum
,
using
his
pencil
as
a
toothpick
.
‘
Cheaper
than
any
prose
.
’
‘
I
couldn
’
t
give
more
than
three
,
’
said
Mrs
Jarley
.
‘
—
And
six
,
’
retorted
Slum
.
‘
Come
.
Three
-
and
-
six
.
’
Mrs
Jarley
was
not
proof
against
the
poet
’
s
insinuating
manner
,
and
Mr
Slum
entered
the
order
in
a
small
note
-
book
as
a
three
-
and
-
sixpenny
one
.
Mr
Slum
then
withdrew
to
alter
the
acrostic
,
after
taking
a
most
affectionate
leave
of
his
patroness
,
and
promising
to
return
,
as
soon
as
he
possibly
could
,
with
a
fair
copy
for
the
printer
.
As
his
presence
had
not
interfered
with
or
interrupted
the
preparations
,
they
were
now
far
advanced
,
and
were
completed
shortly
after
his
departure
.
When
the
festoons
were
all
put
up
as
tastily
as
they
might
be
,
the
stupendous
collection
was
uncovered
,
and
there
were
displayed
,
on
a
raised
platform
some
two
feet
from
the
floor
,
running
round
the
room
and
parted
from
the
rude
public
by
a
crimson
rope
breast
high
,
divers
sprightly
effigies
of
celebrated
characters
,
singly
and
in
groups
,
clad
in
glittering
dresses
of
various
climes
and
times
,
and
standing
more
or
less
unsteadily
upon
their
legs
,
with
their
eyes
very
wide
open
,
and
their
nostrils
very
much
inflated
,
and
the
muscles
of
their
legs
and
arms
very
strongly
developed
,
and
all
their
countenances
expressing
great
surprise
.
All
the
gentlemen
were
very
pigeon
-
breasted
and
very
blue
about
the
beards
;
and
all
the
ladies
were
miraculous
figures
;
and
all
the
ladies
and
all
the
gentlemen
were
looking
intensely
nowhere
,
and
staring
with
extraordinary
earnestness
at
nothing
.
When
Nell
had
exhausted
her
first
raptures
at
this
glorious
sight
,
Mrs
Jarley
ordered
the
room
to
be
cleared
of
all
but
herself
and
the
child
,
and
,
sitting
herself
down
in
an
arm
-
chair
in
the
centre
,
formally
invested
Nell
with
a
willow
wand
,
long
used
by
herself
for
pointing
out
the
characters
,
and
was
at
great
pains
to
instruct
her
in
her
duty
.
‘
That
,
’
said
Mrs
Jarley
in
her
exhibition
tone
,
as
Nell
touched
a
figure
at
the
beginning
of
the
platform
,
‘
is
an
unfortunate
Maid
of
Honour
in
the
Time
of
Queen
Elizabeth
,
who
died
from
pricking
her
finger
in
consequence
of
working
upon
a
Sunday
.
Observe
the
blood
which
is
trickling
from
her
finger
;
also
the
gold
-
eyed
needle
of
the
period
,
with
which
she
is
at
work
.
’
All
this
,
Nell
repeated
twice
or
thrice
:
pointing
to
the
finger
and
the
needle
at
the
right
times
:
and
then
passed
on
to
the
next
.
