'You want somebody to send to the West Indies
you were saying
' observed Mr Dombey
hurriedly.
'Yes
' replied Carker.
'Send young Gay.'
“派年轻人盖伊去。”
'Good
very good indeed. Nothing easier
' said Mr Carker
without any show of surprise
and taking up the pen to re-endorse the letter
as coolly as he had done before. '"Send young Gay."'
'Call him back
' said Mr Dombey.
Mr Carker was quick to do so
and Walter was quick to return.
'Gay
' said Mr Dombey
turning a little to look at him over his shoulder. 'Here is a -
'An opening
' said Mr Carker
with his mouth stretched to the utmost.
'In the West Indies. At Barbados. I am going to send you
' said Mr Dombey
scorning to embellish the bare truth
'to fill a junior situation in the counting-house at Barbados. Let your Uncle know from me
that I have chosen you to go to the West Indies.'Walter's breath was so pletely taken away by his astonishment
that he could hardly find enough for the repetition of the words 'West Indies.'
'Somebody must go
' said Mr Dombey
'and you are young and healthy
and your Uncle's circumstances are not good. Tell your Uncle that you are appointed. You will not go yet. There will be an interval of a month - or o perhaps.'
'Shall I remain there
Sir?' inquired Walter.
'Will you remain there
Sir!' repeated Mr Dombey
turning a little more round towards him. 'What do you mean? What does he mean
Carker?'
'Live there
Sir
' faltered Walter.
'Certainly
' returned Mr Dombey.
Walter bowed.
'That's all
' said Mr Dombey
resuming his letters. 'You will explain to him in good time about the usual outfit and so forth
Carker
of course. He needn't wait
Carker.'
'You needn't wait
Gay
' observed Mr Carker: bare to the gums.
