and I won¨t submit to be proposed to by Mr Quale。 A pretty thing察

indeed察  to   marry   a   Philanthropist。   As   if   I   hadn¨t   had   enough   of 

that 院said poor Miss Jellyby。 

    I   must  confess   that  I could   not   help   feeling   rather   angry   with 

Mrs   Jellyby察  myself察  seeing   and   hearing   this   neglected   girl察  and 

knowing how much of bitterly satirical truth there was in what she

said。 

    ^If it wasn¨t that we had been intimate when you stopped at our 

house察院  pursued   Miss   Jellyby察   I   should   have   been   ashamed   to 

come here today察for I know what a figure I must seem to you two。 

But察  as   it   is察  I   made   up   my   mind   to   call此  especially   as   I   am   not 

likely to see you again察the next time you come to town。 ̄ 

    She     said   this  with   such    great   significance     that   Ada    and    I 

glanced at one another察foreseeing something more。 

    ^No 院said Miss Jellyby察shaking her head。   ^Not  at all likely  I 

know  I   may  trust  you  two。   I   am   sure   you   won¨t   betray   me。   I   am 

engaged。 ̄ 

    ^Without their knowledge at home拭院said I。 

    ^Why察     good    gracious    me察   Miss   Summerson察院        she   returned察

justifying herself in a fretful but not angry manner察 how can it be 

otherwise拭  You   know   what   Ma   is!and   I   needn¨t   make   poor   Pa 

more miserable by telling him。 ̄ 

    ^But     would    it  not   be   adding    to  his   unhappiness       to  marry 

without his knowledge or consent察my dear拭院said I。 

    ^No察院said Miss Jellyby察  softening。   ^I   hope not。   I   should   try  to 

make  him   happy and   comfortable   when  he   came   to   see   me察  and 

Peepy and the others should take it in turns to come and stay with 

me察and they should have some care taken of them察then。 ̄ 

    There was a good deal of affection in poor Caddy。 She softened 

more   and   more   while   saying   this察  and       cried   so   much   over   the 

unwonted   little      home´picture       she  had    raised   in  her   mind察   that 

Peepy察    in   his  cave   under     the  piano察   was   touched察    and   turned 

himself over on his back with loud lamentations。 It was not until I 

had   brought   him   to   kiss   his   sister察  and   had   restored   him   to   his 

place in my lap察and had shown him that Caddy was laughing she

laughed expressly for the purpose察that we could recall his peace 

of mind察even then察it was for some time conditional on his taking 

us in turns by the chin察and smoothing our faces all over with his 

hand。 At last察as his spirits were not yet equal to the piano察we put 

him   on a   chair  to   look   out   of   window察  and   Miss   Jellyby察  holding 

him by one leg察resumed her confidence。 

    ^It began in your coming to our house察院she said。 

    We naturally asked how拭

    ^I felt I was so awkward察院she replied察 that I made up my mind 

to be improved in that respect察at all events察and to learn to dance。 

I told Ma I was ashamed of myself察and I must be taught to dance。 

Ma   looked   at   me   in   that   provoking   way   of   hers   as   if   I   wasn¨t   in 

sight察but察I was quite determined to be taught to dance察and so I 

went to Mr Turveydrop¨s Academy in Newman Street。 ̄ 

    ^And was it there察my dear! ̄ I began。 

    ^Yes察   it  was   there察院  said   Caddy察    and    I  am   engaged     to  Mr 

Turveydrop。   There   are   two   Mr   Turveydrops察  father   and   son。   My 

Mr Turveydrop is the son察of course。 I only wish I had been better 

brought up察and was likely to make him a better wife察for I am very 

fond of him。 ̄ 

    ^I am sorry to hear this察院said I察 I must confess。 ̄ 

    ^I   don¨t   know   why   you   should   be   sorry察院  she   retorted   a   little 

anxiously察   but   I   am   engaged   to   Mr   Turveydrop察  whether   or   no察

and   he   is   very   fond   of  me。   It¨s   a   secret   as   yet察  even   on   his   side察

because old Mr Turveydrop has a share in the connection察and it 

might break his heart察or give him some other shock察if he was told 

of   it  abruptly。   Old   Mr    Turveydrop      is  a  very   gentlemanly      man 

indeed!very gentlemanly。 ̄ 

    ^Does his wife know of it拭院asked Ada。

    ^Old Mr Turveydrop¨s wife察Miss Clare拭院returned Miss Jellyby察

opening her eyes。 ^There¨s no such person。 He is a widower。 ̄ 

    We were here interrupted by Peepy察whose leg had undergone 

so much  on  account  of  his sister¨s   unconsciously  jerking  it  like a 

bell´rope whenever she was emphatic察that the afflicted child now 

bemoaned        his  sufferings    with   a  very   low´spirited    noise。   As   he 

appealed   to   me   for   compassion察  and   as   I   was   only   a   listener察  I 

undertook       to  hold   him。   Miss   Jellyby    proceeded察    after   begging 

Peepy¨s     pardon     with   a  kiss察 and   assuring    him    that  she   hadn¨t 

meant to do it。 

    ^That¨s    the   state  of  the  case察院  said   Caddy。    ^If  I  ever  blame 

myself察I shall think it¨s Ma¨s fault。 We are to be married whenever 

we can察and then I shall go to Pa at the office and write to Ma。 It 

won¨t  much  agitate   Ma此  I am   only  pen   and  ink   to  her。 One   great 

comfort   is察院  said   Caddy察  with   a   sob察   that   I   shall   never   hear   of 

Africa after  I   am   married。   Young  Mr  Turveydrop   hates   it  for  my 

sake察and if old Mr Turveydrop knows there is such a place察it¨s as 

much as he does。 ̄ 

    ^It was he who was very gentlemanly察I think拭院said I。 

    ^Very     gentlemanly察     indeed察院   said   Caddy。    ^He    is  celebrated 

almost everywhere察for his Deportment。 ̄ 

    ^Does he teach拭院asked Ada。 

    ^No察he don¨t teach anything in particular察院replied Caddy。 ^But 

his Deportment is beautiful。 ̄ 

    Caddy      went    on   to   say察  with   considerable       hesitation    and 

reluctance察that there was one thing more she wished us to know察

and felt we ought to know察and which she hoped would not offend 

us。   It   was察 that   she  had   improved     her   acquaintance      with   Miss 

Flite察the little crazy old lady察and that she frequently went there

early in the morning察and met her lover for a few minutes before 

breakfast!only for a few minutes。 ^I go there察at other times察院said 

Caddy察 but Prince does not come   then。   Young  Mr  Turveydrop¨s 

name is Prince察I wish it wasn¨t察because it sounds like a dog察but 

of course he didn¨t christen himself。 Old Mr Turveydrop had him 

christened Prince察in remembrance of the Prince Regent。 Old Mr 

Turveydrop         adored      the    Prince     Regent     on    account      of   his 

Deportment。   I   hope   you   won¨t   think   the   worse   of   me   for   having 

made these little appointments at Miss  Flite¨s察  where   I   first  went 

with   you察  because   I   like   the   poor   thing   for   her   own   sake   and   I 

believe she likes me。 If you could see young Mr Turveydrop察I am 

sure you
