Not a word of this was breathed to Mrs Pipchin: but many a night when they were all in bed
and when Miss Nipper
with her hair in papers and herself asleep in some unfortable attitude
reposed unconscious by her side; and when the chinking ashes in the grate were cold and grey; and when the candles were burnt down and guttering out; - Florence tried so hard to be a substitute for one small Dombey
that her fortitude and perseverance might have almost won her a free right to bear the name herself.
And high was her reward
when one Saturday evening
as little Paul was sitting down as usual to 'resume his studies
' she sat down by his side
and showed him all that was so rough
made smooth
and all that was so dark
made clear and plain
before him. It was nothing but a startled look in Paul's wan face - a flush - a smile - and then a close embrace - but God knows how her heart leapt up at this rich payment for her trouble.
'Oh
Floy!' cried her brother
'how I love you! How I love you
Floy!'
“啊，弗洛伊！”她的弟弟喊道，“我多么爱你啊！我多么爱你啊，弗洛伊。”
'And I you
dear!'
'Oh! I am sure of that
Floy.'
He said no more about it
but all that evening sat close by her
very quiet; and in the night he called out from his little room within hers
three or four times
that he loved her.
Regularly
after that
Florence was prepared to sit down with Paul on Saturday night
and patiently assist him through so much as they could anticipate together of his next week's work. The cheering thought that he was labouring on where Florence had just toiled before him
would
of itself
have been a stimulant to Paul in the perpetual resumption of his studies; but coupled with the actual lightening of his load
consequent on this assistance
it saved him
possibly
from sinking underneath the burden which the fair Cornelia Blimber piled upon his back.
It was not that Miss Blimber meant to be too hard upon him
or that Doctor Blimber meant to bear too heavily on the young gentlemen in general. Cornelia merely held the faith in which she had been bred; and the Doctor
in some partial confusion of his ideas
regarded the young gentlemen as if they were all Doctors
and were born grown up. Comforted by the applause of the young gentlemen's nearest relations
and urged on by their blind vanity and ill-considered haste
it would have been strange if Doctor Blimber had discovered his mistake
or trimmed his swelling sails to any other tack.
