The Captain viewed the subject in quite a different light. He appeared to entertain a belief that the interview at which he had assisted was so very satisfactory and encouraging
as to be only a step or o removed from a regular betrothal of Florence to Walter; and that the late transaction had immensely forwarded
if not thoroughly established
the Whittingtonian hopes. Stimulated by this conviction
and by the improvement in the spirits of his old friend
and by his own consequent gaiety
he even attempted
in favouring them with the ballad of 'Lovely Peg' for the third time in one evening
to make an extemporaneous substitution of the name 'Florence;' but finding this difficult
on account of the word Peg invariably rhyming to leg (in which personal beauty the original was described as having excelled all petitors)
he hit upon the happy thought of changing it to Fle-e-eg; which he accordingly did
with an archness almost supernatural
and a voice quite vociferous
noithstanding that the time was close at band when he must seek the abode of the dreadful Mrs MacStinger.
Mrs Pipchin's constitution was made of such hard metal
in spite of its liability to the fleshly weaknesses of standing in need of repose after chops
and of requiring to be coaxed to sleep by the soporific agency of sweet-breads
that it utterly set at naught the predictions of Mrs Wickam
and showed no symptoms of decline. Yet
as Paul's rapt interest in the old lady continued unbated
Mrs Wickam would not budge an inch from the position she had taken up. Fortifying and entrenching herself on the strong ground of her Uncle's Betsey Jane
she advised Miss Berry
as a friend
to prepare herself for the worst; and forewarned her that her aunt might
at any time
be expected to go off suddenly
like a powder-mill.
Poor Berry took it all in good part
and drudged and slaved away as usual; perfectly convinced that Mrs Pipchin was one of the most meritorious persons in the world
and making every day innumerable sacrifices of herself upon the altar of that noble old woman. But all these immolations of Berry were somehow carried to the credit of Mrs Pipchin by Mrs Pipchin's friends and admirers; and were made to harmonise with
and carry out
that melancholy fact of the deceased Mr Pipchin having broken his heart in the Peruvian mines.
可怜的贝里毫无恶感地接受了所有这些劝告，并跟往常一样，像奴隶一样拼命做着苦工；她完全相信，皮普钦太太是世界上最值得称颂的人之一，自愿作出无数牺牲，奉献给那位尊贵的老女人的祭坛。可是贝里所作出的所有这些牺牲却被皮普钦太太的朋友们与崇拜者们记为皮普钦太太的功劳，而且还跟那件令人伤感的事实——已故的皮普钦先生是在祕鲁的矿井伤心而死的——联系起来，认为两者是一脉相承的。
For example
there was an honest grocer and general dealer in the retail line of business
beeen whom and Mrs Pipchin there was a small memorandum book
with a greasy red cover
perpetually in question
and concerning which divers secret councils and conferences were continually being held beeen the parties to that register
on the mat in the passage
and with closed doors in the parlour. Nor were there wanting dark hints from Master Bitherstone (whose temper had been made revengeful by the solar heats of India acting on his blood)
of balances unsettled
and of a failure
on one occasion within his memory
in the supply of moist sugar at tea-time. This grocer being a bachelor and not a man who looked upon the surface for beauty
had once made honourable offers for the hand of Berry
which Mrs Pipchin had
with contumely and scorn
rejected. Everybody said how laudable this was in Mrs Pipchin
relict of a man who had died of the Peruvian mines; and what a staunch
high
independent spirit the old lady had. But nobody said anything about poor Berry
who cried for six weeks (being soundly rated by her good aunt all the time)
and lapsed into a state of hopeless spinsterhood.
