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
these are little matters of anecdote!the general property察

ma¨am察still repeated occasionally察among the upper classes。 ̄
^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。 ̄
^One might hope that the race of gentlemen would be
perpetuated here察院said I。
^You are very good察院he smiled察with the high´shouldered bow
again。 ^You flatter me。 But察 no!no I have never been able to
imbue my poor boy with that part of his art。 Heaven forbid that I
should disparage my dear child察but he has!no Deportment。 ̄
^He appears to be an exc
