'Yes
yes
you do
' returned the Instrument-maker.
'Well then
what's the matter
Uncle Sol?' said Walter
coaxingly. 'Come! What's the matter?'
Solomon Gills persisted that there was nothing the matter; and maintained it so resolutely
that his nephew had no resource but to make a very indifferent imitation of believing him.
所罗门·吉尔斯坚持说，没有发生什么事情，而且态度坚决，毫不改变，所以他的外甥没有法子，只好不太高明地假装相信他。
'All I can say is
Uncle Sol
that if there is - '
'But there isn't
' said Solomon.
'Very well

said Walter. 'Then I've no more to say; and that's lucky
for my time's up for going to business. I shall look in by-and-by when I'm out
to see how you get on
Uncle. And mind
Uncle! I'll never believe you again
and never tell you anything more about Mr Carker the Junior
if I find out that you have been deceiving me!'
Solomon Gills laughingly defied him to find out anything of the kind; and Walter
revolving in his thoughts all sorts of impracticable ways of making fortunes and placing the wooden Midshipman in a position of independence
betook himself to the offices of Dombey and Son with a heavier countenance than he usually carried there.
There lived in those days
round the corner - in Bishopsgate Street Without - one Brogley
sworn broker and appraiser
who kept a shop where every description of second-hand furniture was exhibited in the most unfortable aspect
and under circumstances and in binations the most pletely foreign to its purpose. Dozens of chairs hooked on to washing-stands
which with difficulty poised themselves on the shoulders of sideboards
which in their turn stood upon the wrong side of dining-tables
gymnastic with their legs upward on the tops of other dining-tables
were among its most reasonable arrangements. A banquet array of dish-covers
wine-glasses
and decanters was generally to be seen
spread forth upon the bosom of a four-post bedstead
for the entertainment of such genial pany as half-a-dozen pokers
and a hall lamp. A set of window curtains with no windows belonging to them
would be seen gracefully draping a barricade of chests of drawers
loaded with little jars from chemists' shops; while a homeless hearthrug severed from its natural panion the fireside
braved the shrewd east wind in its adversity
and trembled in melancholy accord with the shrill plainings of a cabi piano
wasting away
a string a day
and faintly resounding to the noises of the street in its jangling and distracted brain. Of motionless clocks that never stirred a finger
and seemed as incapable of being Successfully wound up
as the pecuniary affairs of their former owners
there was always great choice in Mr Brogley's shop; and various looking-glasses
accidentally placed at pound interest of reflection and refraction
presented to the eye an eternal perspective of bankruptcy and ruin.
