Marry
whom
he
pleased
!
They
would
like
to
see
him
dare
to
think
of
marrying
any
of
them
;
they
would
like
to
see
the
faintest
approach
to
such
a
thing
.
One
lady
(
a
widow
)
was
quite
certain
she
should
stab
him
if
he
hinted
at
it
.
252
Very
well
,
said
Mrs
Quilp
,
nodding
her
head
,
as
I
said
just
now
,
it
s
very
easy
to
talk
,
but
I
say
again
that
I
know
that
I
m
sure
Quilp
has
such
a
way
with
him
when
he
likes
,
that
the
best
looking
woman
here
couldn
t
refuse
him
if
I
was
dead
,
and
she
was
free
,
and
he
chose
to
make
love
to
her
.
Come
!
253
Everybody
bridled
up
at
this
remark
,
as
much
as
to
say
,
I
know
you
mean
me
.
Let
him
try
that
s
all
.
and
yet
for
some
hidden
reason
they
were
all
angry
with
the
widow
,
and
each
lady
whispered
in
her
neighbour
s
ear
that
it
was
very
plain
that
said
widow
thought
herself
the
person
referred
to
,
and
what
a
puss
she
was
!

Mother
knows
,
said
Mrs
Quilp
,
that
what
I
say
is
quite
correct
,
for
she
often
said
so
before
we
were
married
.
Didn
t
you
say
so
,
mother
?
255
This
inquiry
involved
the
respected
lady
in
rather
a
delicate
position
,
for
she
certainly
had
been
an
active
party
in
making
her
daughter
Mrs
Quilp
,
and
,
besides
,
it
was
not
supporting
the
family
credit
to
encourage
the
idea
that
she
had
married
a
man
whom
nobody
else
would
have
.
On
the
other
hand
,
to
exaggerate
the
captivating
qualities
of
her
son
-
in
-
law
would
be
to
weaken
the
cause
of
revolt
,
in
which
all
her
energies
were
deeply
engaged
.
256
Beset
by
these
opposing
considerations
,
Mrs
Jiniwin
admitted
the
powers
of
insinuation
,
but
denied
the
right
to
govern
,
and
with
a
timely
compliment
to
the
stout
lady
brought
back
the
discussion
to
the
point
from
which
it
had
strayed
.
257
Oh
!
It
s
a
sensible
and
proper
thing
indeed
,
what
Mrs
George
has
said
!
exclaimed
the
old
lady
.
If
women
are
only
true
to
themselves
!
But
Betsy
isn
t
,
and
more
s
the
shame
and
pity
.

Before
I
d
let
a
man
order
me
about
as
Quilp
orders
her
,
said
Mrs
George
,
before
I
d
consent
to
stand
in
awe
of
a
man
as
she
does
of
him
,
I
d
I
d
kill
myself
,
and
write
a
letter
first
to
say
he
did
it
!
259
This
remark
being
loudly
commended
and
approved
of
,
another
lady
(
from
the
Minories
)
put
in
her
word
:
260
Mr
Quilp
may
be
a
very
nice
man
,
said
this
lady
,
and
I
supposed
there
s
no
doubt
he
is
,
because
Mrs
Quilp
says
he
is
,
and
Mrs
Jiniwin
says
he
is
,
and
they
ought
to
know
,
or
nobody
does
.
But
still
he
is
not
quite
a
what
one
calls
a
handsome
man
,
nor
quite
a
young
man
neither
,
which
might
be
a
little
excuse
for
him
if
anything
could
be
;
whereas
his
wife
is
young
,
and
is
good
-
looking
,
and
is
a
woman
which
is
the
greatest
thing
after
all
.
