So
saying
,
and
quite
indifferent
to
the
astonishment
his
presence
occasioned
,
he
crept
in
,
shut
the
door
,
kissed
his
greasy
glove
as
servilely
as
if
it
were
the
dust
,
and
made
a
most
abject
bow
.
‘
Sarah
,
’
said
Brass
,
‘
hold
your
tongue
if
you
please
,
and
let
me
speak
.
Gentlemen
,
if
I
could
express
the
pleasure
it
gives
me
to
see
three
such
men
in
a
happy
unity
of
feeling
and
concord
of
sentiment
,
I
think
you
would
hardly
believe
me
.
But
though
I
am
unfortunate
—
nay
,
gentlemen
,
criminal
,
if
we
are
to
use
harsh
expressions
in
a
company
like
this
—
still
,
I
have
my
feelings
like
other
men
.
I
have
heard
of
a
poet
,
who
remarked
that
feelings
were
the
common
lot
of
all
.
If
he
could
have
been
a
pig
,
gentlemen
,
and
have
uttered
that
sentiment
,
he
would
still
have
been
immortal
.
’
‘
If
you
’
re
not
an
idiot
,
’
said
Miss
Brass
harshly
,
‘
hold
your
peace
.
’
‘
Sarah
,
my
dear
,
’
returned
her
brother
,
‘
thank
you
.
But
I
know
what
I
am
about
,
my
love
,
and
will
take
the
liberty
of
expressing
myself
accordingly
.
Mr
Witherden
,
Sir
,
your
handkerchief
is
hanging
out
of
your
pocket
—
would
you
allow
me
to
—
,
As
Mr
Brass
advanced
to
remedy
this
accident
,
the
Notary
shrunk
from
him
with
an
air
of
disgust
.
Brass
,
who
over
and
above
his
usual
prepossessing
qualities
,
had
a
scratched
face
,
a
green
shade
over
one
eye
,
and
a
hat
grievously
crushed
,
stopped
short
,
and
looked
round
with
a
pitiful
smile
.
‘
He
shuns
me
,
’
said
Sampson
,
‘
even
when
I
would
,
as
I
may
say
,
heap
coals
of
fire
upon
his
head
.
Well
!
Ah
!
But
I
am
a
falling
house
,
and
the
rats
(
if
I
may
be
allowed
the
expression
in
reference
to
a
gentleman
I
respect
and
love
beyond
everything
)
fly
from
me
!
Gentlemen
—
regarding
your
conversation
just
now
,
I
happened
to
see
my
sister
on
her
way
here
,
and
,
wondering
where
she
could
be
going
to
,
and
being
—
may
I
venture
to
say
?
—
naturally
of
a
suspicious
turn
,
followed
her
.
Since
then
,
I
have
been
listening
.
’
‘
If
you
’
re
not
mad
,
’
interposed
Miss
Sally
,
‘
stop
there
,
and
say
no
more
.
’
‘
Sarah
,
my
dear
,
’
rejoined
Brass
with
undiminished
politeness
,
‘
I
thank
you
kindly
,
but
will
still
proceed
.
Mr
Witherden
,
sir
,
as
we
have
the
honour
to
be
members
of
the
same
profession
—
to
say
nothing
of
that
other
gentleman
having
been
my
lodger
,
and
having
partaken
,
as
one
may
say
,
of
the
hospitality
of
my
roof
—
I
think
you
might
have
given
me
the
refusal
of
this
offer
in
the
first
instance
.
I
do
indeed
.
Now
,
my
dear
Sir
,
’
cried
Brass
,
seeing
that
the
Notary
was
about
to
interrupt
him
,
‘
suffer
me
to
speak
,
I
beg
.
’
Mr
Witherden
was
silent
,
and
Brass
went
on
.
