At
length
—
and
to
say
the
truth
before
very
long
—
Mr
Swiveller
had
despatched
as
much
toast
and
tea
as
in
that
stage
of
his
recovery
it
was
discreet
to
let
him
have
.
But
the
cares
of
the
Marchioness
did
not
stop
here
;
for
,
disappearing
for
an
instant
and
presently
returning
with
a
basin
of
fair
water
,
she
laved
his
face
and
hands
,
brushed
his
hair
,
and
in
short
made
him
as
spruce
and
smart
as
anybody
under
such
circumstances
could
be
made
;
and
all
this
,
in
as
brisk
and
business
-
like
a
manner
,
as
if
he
were
a
very
little
boy
,
and
she
his
grown
-
up
nurse
.
To
these
various
attentions
,
Mr
Swiveller
submitted
in
a
kind
of
grateful
astonishment
beyond
the
reach
of
language
.
When
they
were
at
last
brought
to
an
end
,
and
the
Marchioness
had
withdrawn
into
a
distant
corner
to
take
her
own
poor
breakfast
(
cold
enough
by
that
time
)
,
he
turned
his
face
away
for
some
few
moments
,
and
shook
hands
heartily
with
the
air
.
‘
Gentlemen
,
’
said
Dick
,
rousing
himself
from
this
pause
,
and
turning
round
again
,
‘
you
’
ll
excuse
me
.
Men
who
have
been
brought
so
low
as
I
have
been
,
are
easily
fatigued
.
I
am
fresh
again
now
,
and
fit
for
talking
.
We
’
re
short
of
chairs
here
,
among
other
trifles
,
but
if
you
’
ll
do
me
the
favour
to
sit
upon
the
bed
—
’
‘
What
can
we
do
for
you
?
’
said
Mr
Garland
,
kindly
.
‘
If
you
could
make
the
Marchioness
yonder
,
a
Marchioness
,
in
real
,
sober
earnest
,
’
returned
Dick
,
‘
I
’
d
thank
you
to
get
it
done
off
-
hand
.
But
as
you
can
’
t
,
and
as
the
question
is
not
what
you
will
do
for
me
,
but
what
you
will
do
for
somebody
else
who
has
a
better
claim
upon
you
,
pray
sir
let
me
know
what
you
intend
doing
.
’
‘
It
’
s
chiefly
on
that
account
that
we
have
come
just
now
,
’
said
the
single
gentleman
,
‘
for
you
will
have
another
visitor
presently
.
We
feared
you
would
be
anxious
unless
you
knew
from
ourselves
what
steps
we
intended
to
take
,
and
therefore
came
to
you
before
we
stirred
in
the
matter
.
’
‘
Gentlemen
,
’
returned
Dick
,
‘
I
thank
you
.
Anybody
in
the
helpless
state
that
you
see
me
in
,
is
naturally
anxious
.
Don
’
t
let
me
interrupt
you
,
sir
.
’
‘
Then
,
you
see
,
my
good
fellow
,
’
said
the
single
gentleman
,
‘
that
while
we
have
no
doubt
whatever
of
the
truth
of
this
disclosure
,
which
has
so
providentially
come
to
light
—
’
‘
Meaning
hers
?
’
said
Dick
,
pointing
towards
the
Marchioness
.
‘
—
Meaning
hers
,
of
course
.
While
we
have
no
doubt
of
that
,
or
that
a
proper
use
of
it
would
procure
the
poor
lad
’
s
immediate
pardon
and
liberation
,
we
have
a
great
doubt
whether
it
would
,
by
itself
,
enable
us
to
reach
Quilp
,
the
chief
agent
in
this
villany
.
I
should
tell
you
that
this
doubt
has
been
confirmed
into
something
very
nearly
approaching
certainty
by
the
best
opinions
we
have
been
enabled
,
in
this
short
space
of
time
,
to
take
upon
the
subject
.
You
’
ll
agree
with
us
,
that
to
give
him
even
the
most
distant
chance
of
escape
,
if
we
could
help
it
,
would
be
monstrous
.
You
say
with
us
,
no
doubt
,
if
somebody
must
escape
,
let
it
be
any
one
but
he
.
