‘
The
business
wouldn
’
t
go
on
very
long
,
I
expect
,
without
me
,
’
returned
his
sister
composedly
.
‘
Don
’
t
you
be
a
fool
and
provoke
me
,
Sammy
,
but
mind
what
you
’
re
doing
,
and
do
it
.
’
Sampson
Brass
,
who
was
at
heart
in
great
fear
of
his
sister
,
sulkily
bent
over
his
writing
again
,
and
listened
as
she
said
:
‘
If
I
determined
that
the
clerk
ought
not
to
come
,
of
course
he
wouldn
’
t
be
allowed
to
come
.
You
know
that
well
enough
,
so
don
’
t
talk
nonsense
.
’
Mr
Brass
received
this
observation
with
increased
meekness
,
merely
remarking
,
under
his
breath
,
that
he
didn
’
t
like
that
kind
of
joking
,
and
that
Miss
Sally
would
be
‘
a
much
better
fellow
’
if
she
forbore
to
aggravate
him
.
To
this
compliment
Miss
Sally
replied
,
that
she
had
a
relish
for
the
amusement
,
and
had
no
intention
to
forego
its
gratification
.
Mr
Brass
not
caring
,
as
it
seemed
,
to
pursue
the
subject
any
further
,
they
both
plied
their
pens
at
a
great
pace
,
and
there
the
discussion
ended
.
While
they
were
thus
employed
,
the
window
was
suddenly
darkened
,
as
by
some
person
standing
close
against
it
.
As
Mr
Brass
and
Miss
Sally
looked
up
to
ascertain
the
cause
,
the
top
sash
was
nimbly
lowered
from
without
,
and
Quilp
thrust
in
his
head
.
‘
Hallo
!
’
he
said
,
standing
on
tip
-
toe
on
the
window
-
sill
,
and
looking
down
into
the
room
.
‘
Is
there
anybody
at
home
?
Is
there
any
of
the
Devil
’
s
ware
here
?
Is
Brass
at
a
premium
,
eh
?
’
‘
Ha
,
ha
,
ha
!
’
laughed
the
lawyer
in
an
affected
ecstasy
.
‘
Oh
,
very
good
,
Sir
!
Oh
,
very
good
indeed
!
Quite
eccentric
!
Dear
me
,
what
humour
he
has
!
’
‘
Is
that
my
Sally
?
’
croaked
the
dwarf
,
ogling
the
fair
Miss
Brass
.
‘
Is
it
Justice
with
the
bandage
off
her
eyes
,
and
without
the
sword
and
scales
?
Is
it
the
Strong
Arm
of
the
Law
?
Is
it
the
Virgin
of
Bevis
?
’
‘
What
an
amazing
flow
of
spirits
!
’
cried
Brass
.
‘
Upon
my
word
,
it
’
s
quite
extraordinary
!
’
