through every step and every part of the figure察and never rested 

for an instant。 His distinguished father did nothing whatever察but 

stand before the fire察a model of Deportment。

    ^And   he   never   does   anything   else察院  said   the   old   lady   of   the 

censorious countenance。 ^Yet would you believe that it¨s his name 

on the door´plate拭院

    ^His son¨s name is the same察you know察院said I。 

    ^He wouldn¨t let his son have any name察if he could take it from 

him察院returned the old lady。 ^Look at the son¨s dress 院It certainly 

was   plain!threadbare!almost   shabby。   ^Yet   the   father   must   be 

garnished      and    tricked   out察院  said  the   old  lady察   because     of  his 

Deportment。 I¨d deport him Transport him would be better 院

    I   felt   curious   to   know   more察  concerning   this   person。   I   asked察

^Does he give lessons in Deportment察now拭院

    ^Now 院returned the old lady察shortly。 ^Never did。 ̄ 

   After     a  moment¨s       consideration察     I  suggested     that   perhaps 

fencing had been his accomplishment拭

    ^I don¨t believe he can fence at all察ma¨am察院said the old lady。 

    I looked surprised and inquisitive。 The old lady察becoming more 

and more incensed against the Master of Deportment as she dwelt 

upon   the   subject察  gave   me   some   particulars   of   his   career察  with 

strong assurances that they were mildly stated。 

    He had married a meek little dancing´mistress察with a tolerable 

connection       having    never   in  his   life  before   done    anything     but 

deport himself察and had worked her to death察or had察at the best察

suffered   her   to   work   herself   to   death察  to   maintain   him   in   those 

expenses      which   were     indispensable   to     his  position。    At  once   to 

exhibit  his   Deportment   to   the   best  models察  and   to   keep   the   best 

models   constantly   before   himself察  he   had   found   it   necessary   to 

frequent all public places of fashionable and lounging resort察to be 

seen at Brighton and elsewhere at fashionable times察and to lead 

an idle life in the very best clothes。 To enable him to do this察the

affectionate   little   dancing´mistress   had   toiled   and   laboured察  and 

would have   toiled  and laboured   to  that  hour察  if  her  strength  had 

lasted so long。 For察the mainspring of the story was察that察in spite 

of   the   man¨s   absorbing   selfishness察  his   wife   overpowered   by   his 

Deportment   had察  to   the   last察  believed   in   him察  and   had察  on   her 

death´bed察in the most moving terms察confided him to their son as 

one  who  had   an   inextinguishable claim   upon  him察and   whom   he 

could never regard with too much pride and   deference。   The   son察

inheriting his mother¨s belief察and having the Deportment always 

before   him察  had   lived   and   grown   in   the   same   faith察  and   now察  at 

thirty years of age察worked for his father twelve hours a´day察and 

looked up to him with veneration on the old imaginary pinnacle。 

    ^The airs the fellow gives himself 院said my informant察shaking 

her head at old Mr Turveydrop with speechless indignation察as he 

drew on his tight gloves此of course unconscious of the homage she 

was rendering。 ^He fully believes he is one of the aristocracy And 

he is so condescending to the   son   he   so  egregiously deludes   that 

you might suppose him the most virtuous of parents。 O 院said the 

old lady察apostrophising him with infinite vehemence察 I could bite 

you 院

    I could not help being amused察though I heard the old lady out 

with feelings of real concern。 It was difficult to doubt her察with the 

father   and   son   before   me。   What   I   might   have   thought   of   them 

without the old lady¨s account察or what I might have thought of the 

old lady¨s account without them察I cannot say。 There was a fitness 

of things in the whole that carried conviction with it。 

    My    eyes    were    yet  wandering察      from    young    Mr    Turveydrop 

working      so   hard    to  old  Mr    Turveydrop       deporting     himself    so 

beautifully察when the latter came ambling up to  me察and   entered

into conversation。 

    He   asked   me察  first   of   all察  whether   I   conferred   a   charm   and   a 

distinction      on   London      by   residing    in   it拭 I  did   not   think    it 

necessary to reply that I was perfectly aware I should not do that察

in any case察but merely told him where I did reside。 

    ^A lady so graceful and accomplished察院he said察kissing his right 

glove察  and   afterwards   extending   it   towards   the   pupils察   will   look 

leniently     on   the  deficiencies     here。   We    do  our   best   to  polish! 

polish!polish 院

    He sat down beside me察taking some pains to sit on the form察I 

thought察  in   imitation   of   the   print   of   his   illustrious   model   on   the 

sofa。 And really he did look very like it。 

    ^To    polish!polish!polish 院          he   repeated察   taking    a  pinch    of 

snuff and gently fluttering  his  fingers。  ^But  we   are   not!if  I  may 

say so察to one formed to be graceful both by Nature and Art察院with 

the   high´shouldered   bow察  which   it   seemed   impossible   for   him   to 

make without lifting up his eyebrows and shutting his eyes!^we 

are not what we used to be in point of Deportment。 ̄ 

    ^Are we not察sir拭院said I。 

    ^We have degenerated察院he  returned察  shaking  his   head察  which 

he could do察to a very limited extent察in his cravat。 ^A levelling age 

is not favourable to Deportment。   It  develops   vulgarity。   Perhaps   I 

speak with some little partiality。 It may not be for me to say that I 

have been called察for some years now察Gentleman Turveydrop察or 

that His Royal Highness the Prince Regent did me the honour to 

inquire察on my removing my hat as he drove out of the Pavilion at 

Brighton that fine building `Who is he拭Who the Devil is he拭Why 

don¨t   I   know   him拭  Why   hasn¨t   he   thirty   thousand   a   year拭   But

    ^Indeed拭院said I。 

   He  replied   with  the  high´shouldered   bow。   ^Where  what  is   left 

among us of Deportment察院he added察 still lingers。 England!alas察

my   country has        degenerated       very   much察   and   is   degenerating 

every   day。   She   has   not   many   gentlemen   left。   We   are   few。   I   see 

nothing to succeed us察but a race of weavers。 ̄

again。   ^You   flatter   me。   But察  no!no   I   have   never   been   able   to
