This
last
clause
being
delivered
with
extraordinary
pathos
,
elicited
a
corresponding
murmer
from
the
hearers
,
stimulated
by
which
the
lady
went
on
to
remark
that
if
such
a
husband
was
cross
and
unreasonable
with
such
a
wife
,
then
—
‘
If
he
is
!
’
interposed
the
mother
,
putting
down
her
tea
-
cup
and
brushing
the
crumbs
out
of
her
lap
,
preparatory
to
making
a
solemn
declaration
.
‘
If
he
is
!
He
is
the
greatest
tyrant
that
every
lived
,
she
daren
’
t
call
her
soul
her
own
,
he
makes
her
tremble
with
a
word
and
even
with
a
look
,
he
frightens
her
to
death
,
and
she
hasn
’
t
the
spirit
to
give
him
a
word
back
,
no
,
not
a
single
word
.
’
Notwithstanding
that
the
fact
had
been
notorious
beforehand
to
all
the
tea
-
drinkers
,
and
had
been
discussed
and
expatiated
on
at
every
tea
-
drinking
in
the
neighbourhood
for
the
last
twelve
months
,
this
official
communication
was
no
sooner
made
than
they
all
began
to
talk
at
once
and
to
vie
with
each
other
in
vehemence
and
volubility
.
Mrs
George
remarked
that
people
would
talk
,
that
people
had
often
said
this
to
her
before
,
that
Mrs
Simmons
then
and
there
present
had
told
her
so
twenty
times
,
that
she
had
always
said
,
‘
No
,
Henrietta
Simmons
,
unless
I
see
it
with
my
own
eyes
and
hear
it
with
my
own
ears
,
I
never
will
believe
it
.
’
Mrs
Simmons
corroborated
this
testimony
and
added
strong
evidence
of
her
own
.
The
lady
from
the
Minories
recounted
a
successful
course
of
treatment
under
which
she
had
placed
her
own
husband
,
who
,
from
manifesting
one
month
after
marriage
unequivocal
symptoms
of
the
tiger
,
had
by
this
means
become
subdued
into
a
perfect
lamb
.
Another
lady
recounted
her
own
personal
struggle
and
final
triumph
,
in
the
course
whereof
she
had
found
it
necessary
to
call
in
her
mother
and
two
aunts
,
and
to
weep
incessantly
night
and
day
for
six
weeks
.
A
third
,
who
in
the
general
confusion
could
secure
no
other
listener
,
fastened
herself
upon
a
young
woman
still
unmarried
who
happened
to
be
amongst
them
,
and
conjured
her
,
as
she
valued
her
own
peace
of
mind
and
happiness
to
profit
by
this
solemn
occasion
,
to
take
example
from
the
weakness
of
Mrs
Quilp
,
and
from
that
time
forth
to
direct
her
whole
thoughts
to
taming
and
subduing
the
rebellious
spirit
of
man
.
The
noise
was
at
its
height
,
and
half
the
company
had
elevated
their
voices
into
a
perfect
shriek
in
order
to
drown
the
voices
of
the
other
half
,
when
Mrs
Jiniwin
was
seen
to
change
colour
and
shake
her
forefinger
stealthily
,
as
if
exhorting
them
to
silence
.
Then
,
and
not
until
then
,
Daniel
Quilp
himself
,
the
cause
and
occasion
of
all
this
clamour
,
was
observed
to
be
in
the
room
,
looking
on
and
listening
with
profound
attention
.
‘
Go
on
,
ladies
,
go
on
,
’
said
Daniel
.
‘
Mrs
Quilp
,
pray
ask
the
ladies
to
stop
to
supper
,
and
have
a
couple
of
lobsters
and
something
light
and
palatable
.
’
‘
I
—
I
—
didn
’
t
ask
them
to
tea
,
Quilp
,
’
stammered
his
wife
.
‘
It
’
s
quite
an
accident
.
’
‘
So
much
the
better
,
Mrs
Quilp
;
these
accidental
parties
are
always
the
pleasantest
,
’
said
the
dwarf
,
rubbing
his
hands
so
hard
that
he
seemed
to
be
engaged
in
manufacturing
,
of
the
dirt
with
which
they
were
encrusted
,
little
charges
for
popguns
.
‘
What
!
Not
going
,
ladies
,
you
are
not
going
,
surely
!
’
His
fair
enemies
tossed
their
heads
slightly
as
they
sought
their
respective
bonnets
and
shawls
,
but
left
all
verbal
contention
to
Mrs
Jiniwin
,
who
finding
herself
in
the
position
of
champion
,
made
a
faint
struggle
to
sustain
the
character
.
