'Present
' repeats Cousin Feenix
feeling that it is a neat point which will bear repetition
- 'with one who - that is to say
with a man
at whom the finger of scorn can never - in fact
with my honourable friend Dombey
if he will allow me to call him so.'
Cousin Feenix bows to Mr Dombey; Mr Dombey solemnly returns the bow; everybody is more or less gratified and affected by this extraordinary
and perhaps unprecedented
appeal to the feelings.
'I have not
' says Cousin Feenix
'enjoyed those opportunities which I could have desired
of cultivating the acquaintance of my friend Dombey
and studying those qualities which do equal honour to his head
and
in point of fact
to his heart; for it has been my misfortune to be
as we used to say in my time in the House of Commons
when it was not the custom to allude to the Lords
and when the order of parliamentary proceedings was perhaps better observed than it is now - to be in - in point of fact
' says Cousin Feenix
cherishing his joke
with great slyness
and finally bringing it out with a jerk
''in another place!''
The Major falls into convulsions
and is recovered with difficulty.
'But I know sufficient of my friend Dombey
' resumes Cousin Feenix in a graver tone
as if he had suddenly bee a sadder and wiser man' 'to know that he is
in point of fact
what may be emphatically called a - a merchant - a British merchant - and a - and a man. And although I have been resident abroad
for some years (it would give me great pleasure to receive my friend Dombey
and everybody here
at Baden-Baden
and to have an opportunity of making 'em known to the Grand Duke)
still I know enough
I flatter myself
of my lovely and acplished relative
to know that she possesses every requisite to make a man happy
and that her marriage with my friend Dombey is one of inclination and affection on both sides.'
Many smiles and nods from Mr Carker.
