Moved
by
these
considerations
,
a
stout
lady
opened
the
proceedings
by
inquiring
,
with
an
air
of
great
concern
and
sympathy
,
how
Mr
Quilp
was
;
whereunto
Mr
Quilp
’
s
wife
’
s
mother
replied
sharply
,
‘
Oh
!
He
was
well
enough
—
nothing
much
was
every
the
matter
with
him
—
and
ill
weeds
were
sure
to
thrive
.
’
All
the
ladies
then
sighed
in
concert
,
shook
their
heads
gravely
,
and
looked
at
Mrs
Quilp
as
a
martyr
.
‘
Ah
!
’
said
the
spokeswoman
,
‘
I
wish
you
’
d
give
her
a
little
of
your
advice
,
Mrs
Jiniwin
’
—
Mrs
Quilp
had
been
a
Miss
Jiniwin
it
should
be
observed
—
‘
nobody
knows
better
than
you
,
ma
’
am
,
what
us
women
owe
to
ourselves
.
’
‘
Owe
indeed
,
ma
’
am
!
’
replied
Mrs
Jiniwin
.
‘
When
my
poor
husband
,
her
dear
father
,
was
alive
,
if
he
had
ever
ventured
a
cross
word
to
me
,
I
’
d
have
—
’
The
good
old
lady
did
not
finish
the
sentence
,
but
she
twisted
off
the
head
of
a
shrimp
with
a
vindictiveness
which
seemed
to
imply
that
the
action
was
in
some
degree
a
substitute
for
words
.
In
this
light
it
was
clearly
understood
by
the
other
party
,
who
immediately
replied
with
great
approbation
,
‘
You
quite
enter
into
my
feelings
,
ma
’
am
,
and
it
’
s
jist
what
I
’
d
do
myself
.
’
‘
But
you
have
no
call
to
do
it
,
’
said
Mrs
Jiniwin
.
‘
Luckily
for
you
,
you
have
no
more
occasion
to
do
it
than
I
had
.
’
‘
No
woman
need
have
,
if
she
was
true
to
herself
,
’
rejoined
the
stout
lady
.
‘
Do
you
hear
that
,
Betsy
?
’
said
Mrs
Jiniwin
,
in
a
warning
voice
.
‘
How
often
have
I
said
the
same
words
to
you
,
and
almost
gone
down
my
knees
when
I
spoke
‘
em
!
’
Poor
Mrs
Quilp
,
who
had
looked
in
a
state
of
helplessness
from
one
face
of
condolence
to
another
,
coloured
,
smiled
,
and
shook
her
head
doubtfully
.
This
was
the
signal
for
a
general
clamour
,
which
beginning
in
a
low
murmur
gradually
swelled
into
a
great
noise
in
which
everybody
spoke
at
once
,
and
all
said
that
she
being
a
young
woman
had
no
right
to
set
up
her
opinions
against
the
experiences
of
those
who
knew
so
much
better
;
that
it
was
very
wrong
of
her
not
to
take
the
advice
of
people
who
had
nothing
at
heart
but
her
good
;
that
it
was
next
door
to
being
downright
ungrateful
to
conduct
herself
in
that
manner
;
that
if
she
had
no
respect
for
herself
she
ought
to
have
some
for
other
women
,
all
of
whom
she
compromised
by
her
meekness
;
and
that
if
she
had
no
respect
for
other
women
,
the
time
would
come
when
other
women
would
have
no
respect
for
her
;
and
she
would
be
very
sorry
for
that
,
they
could
tell
her
.
Having
dealt
out
these
admonitions
,
the
ladies
fell
to
a
more
powerful
assault
than
they
had
yet
made
upon
the
mixed
tea
,
new
bread
,
fresh
butter
,
shrimps
,
and
watercresses
,
and
said
that
their
vexation
was
so
great
to
see
her
going
on
like
that
,
that
they
could
hardly
bring
themselves
to
eat
a
single
morsel
.
It
’
s
all
very
fine
to
talk
,
’
said
Mrs
Quilp
with
much
simplicity
,
‘
but
I
know
that
if
I
was
to
die
to
-
morrow
,
Quilp
could
marry
anybody
he
pleased
—
now
that
he
could
,
I
know
!
’
There
was
quite
a
scream
of
indignation
at
this
idea
.
