Hereupon
Miss
Sophy
blushed
,
and
Mr
Cheggs
(
who
was
bashful
before
ladies
)
blushed
too
,
and
Miss
Sophy
’
s
mother
and
sisters
,
to
prevent
Mr
Cheggs
from
blushing
more
,
lavished
civilities
and
attentions
upon
him
,
and
left
Richard
Swiveller
to
take
care
of
himself
.
Here
was
the
very
thing
he
wanted
,
here
was
good
cause
reason
and
foundation
for
pretending
to
be
angry
;
but
having
this
cause
reason
and
foundation
which
he
had
come
expressly
to
seek
,
not
expecting
to
find
,
Richard
Swiveller
was
angry
in
sound
earnest
,
and
wondered
what
the
devil
Cheggs
meant
by
his
impudence
.
However
,
Mr
Swiveller
had
Miss
Sophy
’
s
hand
for
the
first
quadrille
(
country
-
dances
being
low
,
were
utterly
proscribed
)
and
so
gained
an
advantage
over
his
rival
,
who
sat
despondingly
in
a
corner
and
contemplated
the
glorious
figure
of
the
young
lady
as
she
moved
through
the
mazy
dance
.
Nor
was
this
the
only
start
Mr
Swiveller
had
of
the
market
-
gardener
,
for
determining
to
show
the
family
what
quality
of
man
they
trifled
with
,
and
influenced
perhaps
by
his
late
libations
,
he
performed
such
feats
of
agility
and
such
spins
and
twirls
as
filled
the
company
with
astonishment
,
and
in
particular
caused
a
very
long
gentleman
who
was
dancing
with
a
very
short
scholar
,
to
stand
quite
transfixed
by
wonder
and
admiration
.
Even
Mrs
Wackles
forgot
for
the
moment
to
snub
three
small
young
ladies
who
were
inclined
to
be
happy
,
and
could
not
repress
a
rising
thought
that
to
have
such
a
dancer
as
that
in
the
family
would
be
a
pride
indeed
.
At
this
momentous
crisis
,
Miss
Cheggs
proved
herself
a
vigourous
and
useful
ally
,
for
not
confining
herself
to
expressing
by
scornful
smiles
a
contempt
for
Mr
Swiveller
’
s
accomplishments
,
she
took
every
opportunity
of
whispering
into
Miss
Sophy
’
s
ear
expressions
of
condolence
and
sympathy
on
her
being
worried
by
such
a
ridiculous
creature
,
declaring
that
she
was
frightened
to
death
lest
Alick
should
fall
upon
,
and
beat
him
,
in
the
fulness
of
his
wrath
,
and
entreating
Miss
Sophy
to
observe
how
the
eyes
of
the
said
Alick
gleamed
with
love
and
fury
;
passions
,
it
may
be
observed
,
which
being
too
much
for
his
eyes
rushed
into
his
nose
also
,
and
suffused
it
with
a
crimson
glow
.
‘
You
must
dance
with
Miss
Cheggs
,
’
said
Miss
Sophy
to
Dick
Swiviller
,
after
she
had
herself
danced
twice
with
Mr
Cheggs
and
made
great
show
of
encouraging
his
advances
.
‘
She
’
s
a
nice
girl
—
and
her
brother
’
s
quite
delightful
.
’
‘
Quite
delightful
,
is
he
?
’
muttered
Dick
.
‘
Quite
delighted
too
,
I
should
say
,
from
the
manner
in
which
he
’
s
looking
this
way
.
’
Here
Miss
Jane
(
previously
instructed
for
the
purpose
)
interposed
her
many
curls
and
whispered
her
sister
to
observe
how
jealous
Mr
Cheggs
was
.
‘
Jealous
!
Like
his
impudence
!
’
said
Richard
Swiviller
.
‘
His
impudence
,
Mr
Swiviller
!
’
said
Miss
Jane
,
tossing
her
head
.
‘
Take
care
he
don
’
t
hear
you
,
sir
,
or
you
may
be
sorry
for
it
.
’
‘
Oh
,
pray
,
Jane
—
’
said
Miss
Sophy
.
