‘
Dear
me
,
you
’
ve
had
a
deal
of
trouble
.
Pray
consider
everything
yours
that
you
find
upon
the
—
upon
the
body
.
Good
night
!
’
The
men
looked
at
each
other
,
but
had
evidently
no
inclination
to
argue
the
point
just
then
,
and
shuffled
out
of
the
room
.
The
speedy
clearance
effected
,
Quilp
locked
the
doors
;
and
still
embracing
the
case
-
bottle
with
shrugged
-
up
shoulders
and
folded
arms
,
stood
looking
at
his
insensible
wife
like
a
dismounted
nightmare
.
Matrimonial
differences
are
usually
discussed
by
the
parties
concerned
in
the
form
of
dialogue
,
in
which
the
lady
bears
at
least
her
full
half
share
.
Those
of
Mr
and
Mrs
Quilp
,
however
,
were
an
exception
to
the
general
rule
;
the
remarks
which
they
occasioned
being
limited
to
a
long
soliloquy
on
the
part
of
the
gentleman
,
with
perhaps
a
few
deprecatory
observations
from
the
lady
,
not
extending
beyond
a
trembling
monosyllable
uttered
at
long
intervals
,
and
in
a
very
submissive
and
humble
tone
.
On
the
present
occasion
,
Mrs
Quilp
did
not
for
a
long
time
venture
even
on
this
gentle
defence
,
but
when
she
had
recovered
from
her
fainting
-
fit
,
sat
in
a
tearful
silence
,
meekly
listening
to
the
reproaches
of
her
lord
and
master
.
Of
these
Mr
Quilp
delivered
himself
with
the
utmost
animation
and
rapidity
,
and
with
so
many
distortions
of
limb
and
feature
,
that
even
his
wife
,
although
tolerably
well
accustomed
to
his
proficiency
in
these
respects
,
was
well
-
nigh
beside
herself
with
alarm
.
But
the
Jamaica
rum
,
and
the
joy
of
having
occasioned
a
heavy
disappointment
,
by
degrees
cooled
Mr
Quilp
’
s
wrath
;
which
from
being
at
savage
heat
,
dropped
slowly
to
the
bantering
or
chuckling
point
,
at
which
it
steadily
remained
.
‘
So
you
thought
I
was
dead
and
gone
,
did
you
?
’
said
Quilp
.
‘
You
thought
you
were
a
widow
,
eh
?
Ha
,
ha
,
ha
,
you
jade
.
’
‘
Indeed
,
Quilp
,
’
returned
his
wife
.
‘
I
’
m
very
sorry
—
’
‘
Who
doubts
it
!
’
cried
the
dwarf
.
‘
You
very
sorry
!
to
be
sure
you
are
.
Who
doubts
that
you
’
re
very
sorry
!
’
‘
I
don
’
t
mean
sorry
that
you
have
come
home
again
alive
and
well
,
’
said
his
wife
,
‘
but
sorry
that
I
should
have
been
led
into
such
a
belief
.
I
am
glad
to
see
you
,
Quilp
;
indeed
I
am
.
’
In
truth
Mrs
Quilp
did
seem
a
great
deal
more
glad
to
behold
her
lord
than
might
have
been
expected
,
and
did
evince
a
degree
of
interest
in
his
safety
which
,
all
things
considered
,
was
rather
unaccountable
.
Upon
Quilp
,
however
,
this
circumstance
made
no
impression
,
farther
than
as
it
moved
him
to
snap
his
fingers
close
to
his
wife
’
s
eyes
,
with
divers
grins
of
triumph
and
derision
.
