Dombey didn't seem to be absolutely blinded by the light let in upon his intellect
but he made Miss Blimber a little bow.
'"Analysis
"' resumed Miss Blimber
casting her eye over the paper
'"of the character of P. Dombey." I find that the natural capacity of Dombey is extremely good; and that his general disposition to study may be stated in an equal ratio. Thus
taking eight as our standard and highest number
I find these qualities in Dombey stated each at six three-fourths!'
Miss Blimber paused to see how Paul received this news. Being undecided whether six three-fourths meant six pounds fifteen
or sixpence three farthings
or six foot three
or three quarters past six
or six somethings that he hadn't learnt yet
with three unknown something elses over
Paul rubbed his hands and looked straight at Miss Blimber. It happened to answer as well as anything else he could have done; and Cornelia proceeded.
布林伯小姐停了一下，看看保罗是怎样接受这个消息的。保罗不知道六又四分之三是指六镑十五先令还是六便士三法新①，还是六英尺三英寸，还是六点三刻，还是六个他还没有学习到的什么东西以及三个另外不知道的东西，所以就搓搓手，直望着布林伯小姐。看来他这样的回答不比他所能作出的其他任何回答坏；科妮莉亚就继续说下去。
'"Violence o. Selfishness o. Inclination to low pany
as evinced in the case of a person named Glubb
originally seven
but since reduced. Gentlemanly demeanour four
and improving with advancing years." Now what I particularly wish to call your attention to
Dombey
is the general observation at the close of this analysis.'
Paul set himself to follow it with great care.
'"It may be generally observed of Dombey
"' said Miss Blimber
reading in a loud voice
and at every second word directing her spectacles towards the little figure before her: '"that his abilities and inclinations are good
and that he has made as much progress as under the circumstances could have been expected. But it is to be lamented of this young gentleman that he is singular (what is usually termed old-fashioned) in his character and conduct
and that
without presenting anything in either which distinctly calls for reprobation
he is often very unlike other young gentlemen of his age and social position." Now
Dombey
' said Miss Blimber
laying down the paper
'do you understand that?'
'I think I do
Ma'am
' said Paul.
