Inspired
by
this
idea
and
the
sentiments
it
awakened
,
sir
,
and
feeling
as
a
mutual
friend
that
badgering
,
baiting
,
and
bullying
,
was
not
the
sort
of
thing
calculated
to
expand
the
souls
and
promote
the
social
harmony
of
the
contending
parties
,
I
took
upon
myself
to
suggest
a
course
which
is
the
course
to
be
adopted
to
the
present
occasion
.
Will
you
allow
me
to
whisper
half
a
syllable
,
sir
?
’
Without
waiting
for
the
permission
he
sought
,
Mr
Swiveller
stepped
up
to
the
dwarf
,
and
leaning
on
his
shoulder
and
stooping
down
to
get
at
his
ear
,
said
in
a
voice
which
was
perfectly
audible
to
all
present
,
‘
The
watch
-
word
to
the
old
min
is
—
fork
.
’
‘
Is
what
?
’
demanded
Quilp
.
‘
Is
fork
,
sir
,
fork
,
’
replied
Mr
Swiveller
slapping
his
pocket
.
‘
You
are
awake
,
sir
?
’
The
dwarf
nodded
.
Mr
Swiveller
drew
back
and
nodded
likewise
,
then
drew
a
little
further
back
and
nodded
again
,
and
so
on
.
By
these
means
he
in
time
reached
the
door
,
where
he
gave
a
great
cough
to
attract
the
dwarf
’
s
attention
and
gain
an
opportunity
of
expressing
in
dumb
show
,
the
closest
confidence
and
most
inviolable
secrecy
.
Having
performed
the
serious
pantomime
that
was
necessary
for
the
due
conveyance
of
this
idea
,
he
cast
himself
upon
his
friend
’
s
track
,
and
vanished
.
‘
Humph
!
’
said
the
dwarf
with
a
sour
look
and
a
shrug
of
his
shoulders
,
‘
so
much
for
dear
relations
.
Thank
God
I
acknowledge
none
!
Nor
need
you
either
,
’
he
added
,
turning
to
the
old
man
,
‘
if
you
were
not
as
weak
as
a
reed
,
and
nearly
as
senseless
.
’
‘
What
would
you
have
me
do
?
’
he
retorted
in
a
kind
of
helpless
desperation
.
‘
It
is
easy
to
talk
and
sneer
.
What
would
you
have
me
do
?
’
‘
What
would
I
do
if
I
was
in
your
case
?
’
said
the
dwarf
.
‘
Something
violent
,
no
doubt
.
’
