Presently Fanny and Pump obligingly came to London, where the third was born.
'Polly was godmother to this, and who so loving as she and Pump now?
"Oh, Essex," says she to me, "he is so good, so generous, so fond of his family; so handsome; who can help loving him, and pardoning his little errors ?" One day, while Mrs.Pump was yet in the upper regions, and Doctor Fingerfee's brougham at her door every day, having business at Guildhall, whom should I meet in Cheapside but Pump and Polly?
The poor girl looked more happy and rosy than I have seen her these twelve years.
Pump, on the contrary, was rather blushing and embarrassed.
'I couldn't be mistaken in her face and its look of mischief and triumph.

She had been committing some act of sacrifice.

I went to the family stockbroker.

She had sold out two thousand pounds that morning and given them to Pump.

Quarrelling was useless--Pump had the money; he was off to Dublin by the time I reached his mother's, and Polly radiant still.
