'Berry's very fond of you
ain't she?' Paul once asked Mrs Pipchin when they were sitting by the fire with the cat.
'Yes
' said Mrs Pipchin.
'Why?' asked Paul.
“为什么？”保罗问道。
'Why!' returned the disconcerted old lady. 'How can you ask such things
Sir! why are you fond of your sister Florence?'
'Because she's very good
' said Paul. 'There's nobody like Florence.'
'Well!' retorted Mrs Pipchin
shortly
'and there's nobody like me
I suppose.'
'Ain't there really though?' asked Paul
leaning forward in his chair
and looking at her very hard.
'No
' said the old lady.
'I am glad of that
' observed Paul
rubbing his hands thoughtfully. 'That's a very good thing.'
Mrs Pipchin didn't dare to ask him why
lest she should receive some perfectly annihilating answer. But as a pensation to her wounded feelings
she harassed Master Bitherstone to that extent until bed-time
that he began that very night to make arrangements for an overland return to India
by secreting from his supper a quarter of a round of bread and a fragment of moist Dutch cheese
as the beginning of a stock of provision to support him on the voyage.
Mrs Pipchin had kept watch and ward over little Paul and his sister for nearly elve months. They had been home ice
but only for a few days; and had been constant in their weekly visits to Mr Dombey at the hotel. By little and little Paul had grown stronger
and had bee able to dispense with his carriage; though he still looked thin and delicate; and still remained the same old
quiet
dreamy child that he had been when first consigned to Mrs Pipchin's care. One Saturday afternoon
at dusk
great consternation was occasioned in the Castle by the unlooked-for announcement of Mr Dombey as a visitor to Mrs Pipchin. The population of the parlour was immediately swept upstairs as on the wings of a whirlwind
and after much slamming of bedroom doors
and trampling overhead
and some knocking about of Master Bitherstone by Mrs Pipchin
as a relief to the perturbation of her spirits
the black bombazeen garments of the worthy old lady darkened the audience-chamber where Mr Dombey was contemplating the vacant arm-chair of his son and heir.
