‘
Shorn
indeed
!
’
thought
Kit
.
‘
Pretty
close
!
’
But
he
didn
’
t
say
so
.
‘
On
that
occasion
,
Kit
,
’
said
Mr
Brass
,
‘
on
that
occasion
that
I
have
just
alluded
to
,
I
had
a
hard
battle
with
Mr
Quilp
(
for
Mr
Quilp
is
a
very
hard
man
)
to
obtain
them
the
indulgence
they
had
.
It
might
have
cost
me
a
client
.
But
suffering
virtue
inspired
me
,
and
I
prevailed
.
’
‘
He
’
s
not
so
bad
after
all
,
’
thought
honest
Kit
,
as
the
attorney
pursed
up
his
lips
and
looked
like
a
man
who
was
struggling
with
his
better
feelings
.
‘
I
respect
you
,
Kit
,
’
said
Brass
with
emotion
.
‘
I
saw
enough
of
your
conduct
,
at
that
time
,
to
respect
you
,
though
your
station
is
humble
,
and
your
fortune
lowly
.
It
isn
’
t
the
waistcoat
that
I
look
at
.
It
is
the
heart
.
The
checks
in
the
waistcoat
are
but
the
wires
of
the
cage
.
But
the
heart
is
the
bird
.
Ah
!
How
many
sich
birds
are
perpetually
moulting
,
and
putting
their
beaks
through
the
wires
to
peck
at
all
mankind
!
’
This
poetic
figure
,
which
Kit
took
to
be
in
a
special
allusion
to
his
own
checked
waistcoat
,
quite
overcame
him
;
Mr
Brass
’
s
voice
and
manner
added
not
a
little
to
its
effect
,
for
he
discoursed
with
all
the
mild
austerity
of
a
hermit
,
and
wanted
but
a
cord
round
the
waist
of
his
rusty
surtout
,
and
a
skull
on
the
chimney
-
piece
,
to
be
completely
set
up
in
that
line
of
business
.
‘
Well
,
well
,
’
said
Sampson
,
smiling
as
good
men
smile
when
they
compassionate
their
own
weakness
or
that
of
their
fellow
-
creatures
,
‘
this
is
wide
of
the
bull
’
s
-
eye
.
You
’
re
to
take
that
,
if
you
please
.
’
As
he
spoke
,
he
pointed
to
a
couple
of
half
-
crowns
on
the
desk
.
Kit
looked
at
the
coins
,
and
then
at
Sampson
,
and
hesitated
.
‘
For
yourself
,
’
said
Brass
.
‘
From
—
’
‘
No
matter
about
the
person
they
came
from
,
’
replied
the
lawyer
.
‘
Say
me
,
if
you
like
.
We
have
eccentric
friends
overhead
,
Kit
,
and
we
mustn
’
t
ask
questions
or
talk
too
much
—
you
understand
?
You
’
re
to
take
them
,
that
’
s
all
;
and
between
you
and
me
,
I
don
’
t
think
they
’
ll
be
the
last
you
’
ll
have
to
take
from
the
same
place
.
I
hope
not
.
Good
bye
,
Kit
.
Good
bye
!
