Although Miss Nipper was nervous in regard of dogs
and felt it necessary to e into the room with her skirts carefully collected about her
as if she were crossing a brook on stepping-stones; also to utter little screams and stand up on chairs when Diogenes stretched himself
she was in her own manner affected by the kindness of Mr Toots
and could not see Florence so alive to the attachment and society of this rude friend of little Paul's
without some mental ments thereupon that brought the water to her eYes. Mr Dombey
as a part of her reflections
may have been
in the association of ideas
connected with the dog; but
at any rate
after observing Diogenes and his mistress all the evening
and after exerting herself with much good-will to provide Diogenes a bed in an ante-chamber outside his mistress's door
she said hurriedly to Florence
before leaving her for the night:
'Your Pa's a going off
Miss Floy
tomorrow morning.'
'To-morrow morning
Susan?'
“明天早上，苏珊？”
'Yes
Miss; that's the orders. Early.'
'Do you know
' asked Florence
without looking at her
'where Papa is going
Susan?'
'Not exactly
Miss. He's going to meet that precious Major first
and I must say if I was acquainted with any Major myself (which Heavens forbid)
it shouldn't be a blue one!'
'Hush
Susan!' urged Florence gently.
'Well
Miss Floy
' returned Miss Nipper
who was full of burning indignation
and minded her stops even less than usual. 'I can't help it
blue he is
and while I was a Christian
although humble
I would have natural-coloured friends
or none.'
It appeared from what she added and had gleaned downstairs
that Mrs Chick had proposed the Major for Mr Dombey's panion
and that Mr Dombey
after some hesitation
had invited him.
'Talk of him being a change
indeed!' observed Miss Nipper to herself with boundless contempt. 'If he's a change
give me a constancy.
'Good-night
Susan
' said Florence.
'Good-night
my darling dear Miss Floy.'
