'Mrs Pipchin
' said Mr Dombey
'How do you do?'
'Thank you
Sir
' said Mrs Pipchin
'I am pretty well
considering.'
Mrs Pipchin always used that form of words. It meant
considering her virtues
sacrifices
and so forth.
皮普钦太太经常使用这样的措词。它的意思是，考虑到她的品德、牺牲等等。
'I can't expect
Sir
to be very well
' said Mrs Pipchin
taking a chair and fetching her breath; 'but such health as I have
I am grateful for.'
Mr Dombey inclined his head with the satisfied air of a patron
who felt that this was the sort of thing for which he paid so much a quarter. After a moment's silence he went on to say:
'Mrs Pipchin
I have taken the liberty of calling
to consult you in reference to my son. I have had it in my mind to do so for some time past; but have deferred it from time to time
in order that his health might be thoroughly re-established. You have no misgivings on that subject
Mrs Pipchin?'
'Brighton has proved very beneficial
Sir
' returned Mrs Pipchin. 'Very beneficial
indeed.'
'I purpose
' said Mr Dombey
'his remaining at Brighton.'
Mrs Pipchin rubbed her hands
and bent her grey eyes on the fire.
'But
' pursued Mr Dombey
stretching out his forefinger
'but possibly that he should now make a change
and lead a different kind of life here. In short
Mrs Pipchin
that is the object of my visit. My son is getting on
Mrs Pipchin. Really
he is getting on.'
There was something melancholy in the triumphant air with which Mr Dombey said this. It showed how long Paul's childish life had been to him
and how his hopes were set upon a later stage of his existence. Pity may appear a strange word to connect with anyone so haughty and so cold
and yet he seemed a worthy subject for it at that moment.
'Six years old!' said Mr Dombey
settling his neckcloth - perhaps to hide an irrepressible smile that rather seemed to strike upon the surface of his face and glance away
as finding no resting-place
than to play there for an instant. 'Dear me
six will be changed to sixteen
before we have time to look about us.'
