Ah, Mr Quilp, I often think, sir, if it had only pleased Providence to bring you and Sarah together, in earlier life, what blessed results would have flowed from such a union! You never saw our dear father, sir ?--A charming gentleman.

Sarah was his pride and joy, sir.

He would have closed his eyes in bliss, would Foxey, Mr Quilp, if he could have found her such a partner.

You esteem her, sir ?' 'I love her,' croaked the dwarf.
'You're very good, Sir,' returned Brass, 'I am sure.

Is there any other order, sir, that I can take a note of, besides this little matter of Mr Richard ?' 'None,' replied the dwarf, seizing the saucepan.
