‘
It
’
s
a
very
unpleasant
thing
,
Dick
,
’
said
Miss
Brass
,
pulling
out
the
tin
box
and
refreshing
herself
with
a
pinch
of
snuff
;
‘
but
between
you
and
me
—
between
friends
you
know
,
for
if
Sammy
knew
it
,
I
should
never
hear
the
last
of
it
—
some
of
the
office
-
money
,
too
,
that
has
been
left
about
,
has
gone
in
the
same
way
.
In
particular
,
I
have
missed
three
half
-
crowns
at
three
different
times
.
’
‘
You
don
’
t
mean
that
?
’
cried
Dick
.
‘
Be
careful
what
you
say
,
old
boy
,
for
this
is
a
serious
matter
.
Are
you
quite
sure
?
Is
there
no
mistake
?
’
‘
It
is
so
,
and
there
can
’
t
be
any
mistake
at
all
,
’
rejoined
Miss
Brass
emphatically
.
‘
Then
by
Jove
,
’
thought
Richard
,
laying
down
his
pen
,
‘
I
am
afraid
the
Marchioness
is
done
for
!
’
The
more
he
discussed
the
subject
in
his
thoughts
,
the
more
probable
it
appeared
to
Dick
that
the
miserable
little
servant
was
the
culprit
.
When
he
considered
on
what
a
spare
allowance
of
food
she
lived
,
how
neglected
and
untaught
she
was
,
and
how
her
natural
cunning
had
been
sharpened
by
necessity
and
privation
,
he
scarcely
doubted
it
.
And
yet
he
pitied
her
so
much
,
and
felt
so
unwilling
to
have
a
matter
of
such
gravity
disturbing
the
oddity
of
their
acquaintance
,
that
he
thought
,
and
thought
truly
,
that
rather
than
receive
fifty
pounds
down
,
he
would
have
the
Marchioness
proved
innocent
.
While
he
was
plunged
in
very
profound
and
serious
meditation
upon
this
theme
,
Miss
Sally
sat
shaking
her
head
with
an
air
of
great
mystery
and
doubt
;
when
the
voice
of
her
brother
Sampson
,
carolling
a
cheerful
strain
,
was
heard
in
the
passage
,
and
that
gentleman
himself
,
beaming
with
virtuous
smiles
,
appeared
.
‘
Mr
Richard
,
sir
,
good
morning
!
Here
we
are
again
,
sir
,
entering
upon
another
day
,
with
our
bodies
strengthened
by
slumber
and
breakfast
,
and
our
spirits
fresh
and
flowing
.
Here
we
are
,
Mr
Richard
,
rising
with
the
sun
to
run
our
little
course
—
our
course
of
duty
,
sir
—
and
,
like
him
,
to
get
through
our
day
’
s
work
with
credit
to
ourselves
and
advantage
to
our
fellow
-
creatures
.
A
charming
reflection
sir
,
very
charming
!
’
While
he
addressed
his
clerk
in
these
words
,
Mr
Brass
was
,
somewhat
ostentatiously
,
engaged
in
minutely
examining
and
holding
up
against
the
light
a
five
-
pound
bank
note
,
which
he
had
brought
in
,
in
his
hand
.
