The
old
man
looked
,
irresolutely
and
helplessly
,
first
at
her
,
then
to
the
right
and
left
,
then
at
her
again
,
and
shook
his
head
.
It
was
plain
that
she
was
thenceforth
his
guide
and
leader
.
The
child
felt
it
,
but
had
no
doubts
or
misgiving
,
and
putting
her
hand
in
his
,
led
him
gently
away
.
It
was
the
beginning
of
a
day
in
June
;
the
deep
blue
sky
unsullied
by
a
cloud
,
and
teeming
with
brilliant
light
.
The
streets
were
,
as
yet
,
nearly
free
from
passengers
,
the
houses
and
shops
were
closed
,
and
the
healthy
air
of
morning
fell
like
breath
from
angels
,
on
the
sleeping
town
.
The
old
man
and
the
child
passed
on
through
the
glad
silence
,
elate
with
hope
and
pleasure
They
were
alone
together
,
once
again
;
every
object
was
bright
and
fresh
;
nothing
reminded
them
,
otherwise
than
by
contrast
,
of
the
monotony
and
constraint
they
had
left
behind
;
church
towers
and
steeples
,
frowning
and
dark
at
other
times
,
now
shone
in
the
sun
;
each
humble
nook
and
corner
rejoiced
in
light
;
and
the
sky
,
dimmed
only
by
excessive
distance
,
shed
its
placid
smile
on
everything
beneath
.
Forth
from
the
city
,
while
it
yet
slumbered
,
went
the
two
poor
adventurers
,
wandering
they
knew
not
whither
.
Daniel
Quilp
of
Tower
Hill
,
and
Sampson
Brass
of
Bevis
Marks
in
the
city
of
London
,
Gentleman
,
one
of
her
Majesty
’
s
attornies
of
the
Courts
of
the
King
’
s
Bench
and
Common
Pleas
at
Westminster
and
a
solicitor
of
the
High
Court
of
Chancery
,
slumbered
on
,
unconscious
and
unsuspicious
of
any
mischance
,
until
a
knocking
on
the
street
door
,
often
repeated
and
gradually
mounting
up
from
a
modest
single
rap
to
a
perfect
battery
of
knocks
,
fired
in
long
discharges
with
a
very
short
interval
between
,
caused
the
said
Daniel
Quilp
to
struggle
into
a
horizontal
position
,
and
to
stare
at
the
ceiling
with
a
drowsy
indifference
,
betokening
that
he
heard
the
noise
and
rather
wondered
at
the
same
,
and
couldn
’
t
be
at
the
trouble
of
bestowing
any
further
thought
upon
the
subject
.
As
the
knocking
,
however
,
instead
of
accommodating
itself
to
his
lazy
state
,
increased
in
vigour
and
became
more
importunate
,
as
if
in
earnest
remonstrance
against
his
falling
asleep
again
,
now
that
he
had
once
opened
his
eyes
,
Daniel
Quilp
began
by
degrees
to
comprehend
the
possibility
of
there
being
somebody
at
the
door
;
and
thus
he
gradually
came
to
recollect
that
it
was
Friday
morning
,
and
he
had
ordered
Mrs
Quilp
to
be
in
waiting
upon
him
at
an
early
hour
.
Mr
Brass
,
after
writhing
about
,
in
a
great
many
strange
attitudes
,
and
often
twisting
his
face
and
eyes
into
an
expression
like
that
which
is
usually
produced
by
eating
gooseberries
very
early
in
the
season
,
was
by
this
time
awake
also
.
Seeing
that
Mr
Quilp
invested
himself
in
his
every
-
day
garments
,
he
hastened
to
do
the
like
,
putting
on
his
shoes
before
his
stockings
,
and
thrusting
his
legs
into
his
coat
sleeves
,
and
making
such
other
small
mistakes
in
his
toilet
as
are
not
uncommon
to
those
who
dress
in
a
hurry
,
and
labour
under
the
agitation
of
having
been
suddenly
roused
.
While
the
attorney
was
thus
engaged
,
the
dwarf
was
groping
under
the
table
,
muttering
desperate
imprecations
on
himself
,
and
mankind
in
general
,
and
all
inanimate
objects
to
boot
,
which
suggested
to
Mr
Brass
the
question
,
‘
what
’
s
the
matter
?
’
