Nobody need be frightened.

We're all comfortable; ain't we, Mrs Higden ?' 'Sure and certain we are,' returned Betty.
'And there really is no hurry, you know,' said Mrs Boffin in a lower voice.

'Take time to think of it, my good creature!' 'Don't you fear ME no more, ma'am,' said Betty; 'I thought of it for good yesterday.

I don't know what come over me just now, but it'll never come again.' 'Well, then, Johnny shall have more time to think of it,' returned Mrs Boffin; 'the pretty child shall have time to get used to it.

And you'll get him more used to it, if you think well of it; won't you ?' Betty undertook that, cheerfully and readily.
'Lor,' cried Mrs Boffin, looking radiantly about her, 'we want to make everybody happy, not dismal!--And perhaps you wouldn't mind letting me know how used to it you begin to get, and how it all goes on ?' 'I'll send Sloppy,' said Mrs Higden.
'And this gentleman who has come with me will pay him for his trouble,' said Mrs Boffin.
