jingling square piano察and really rattled off a quadrille with great
spirit。 Then she good´humouredly and blushingly got up again察
and while she still laughed herself察 said察 Don¨t laugh at me察
please察that¨s a dear girl 院
I would sooner have cried察but I did neither。 I encouraged her
and praised her with all my heart。 For I conscientiously believed察
dancing´master¨s wife though she was察 and dancing´mistress
though in her limited ambition she aspired to be察 she had struck
out a natural察 wholesome察 loving course of industry and
perseverance that was quite as good as a Mission。
^My dear察院 said Caddy察 delighted察 you can¨t think how you
cheer me。 I shall owe you察 you don¨t know how much。 What
changes察 Esther察 even in my small world You recollect that first
night when I was so unpolite and inky拭Who would have thought察
then察of my ever teaching people to dance察of all other possibilities
and impossibilities 院
Her husband察 who had left us while we had this chat察 now
coming back察preparatory to exercising the apprentices in the ball´
room察Caddy informed me she was quite at my disposal。 But it was

not my time yet察 I was glad to tell her察 for I should have been
vexed to take her away then。 Therefore we three adjourned to the
apprentices together察and I made one in the dance。
The apprentices were the queerest little people。 Besides the
melancholy boy察who察I hoped察had not been made so by waltzing
alone in the empty kitchen察 there were two other boys察 and one
dirty little limp girl in a gauzy dress。 Such a precocious little girl察
with such a dowdy bonnet on that察too察of a gauzy texture察 who
brought her sandled shoes in an old threadbare velvet reticule。
Such mean little boys察 when they were not dancing察 with string察
and marbles察 and cramp´bones in their pockets察 and the most
untidy legs and feet!and heels particularly。 I asked Caddy what
had made their parents choose this profession for them拭 Caddy
said she didn¨t know察 perhaps they were designed for teachers察
perhaps for the stage。 They were all people in humble
circumstances察 and the melancholy boy¨s mother kept a ginger´
beer shop。
We danced for an hour with great gaiety察the melancholy child
doing wonders with his lower extremities察 in which there
appeared to be some sense of enjoyment though it never rose
above his waist。 Caddy察while she was observant of her husband察
and was evidently founded upon him察 had acquired a grace and
self´possession of her own察 which察 united to her pretty face and
figure察 was uncommonly agreeable。 She already relieved him of
much of the instruction of these young people察 and he seldom
interfered察except to walk his part in the figure if he had anything
to do in it。 He always played the tune。 The affectation of the gauzy
child察and her condescension to the boys察was a sight。 And thus we
danced an hour by the clock。

When the practice was concluded察 Caddy¨s husband made
himself ready to go out of town to a school察and Caddy ran away to
get ready to go out with me。 I sat in the ball´room in the interval察
contemplating the apprentices。 The two outdoor boys went upon
the staircase to put on their half´boots察and pull the in´door boy¨s
hair察as I judged from the nature of his objections。 Returning with
their jackets buttoned察and their pumps stuck in them察they then
produced packets of cold bread and meat察and bivouacked under a
painted lyre on the wall。 The little gauzy child察having whisked her
sandals into the reticule and put on a trodden down pair of shoes察
shook her head into the dowdy bonnet at one shake察 and
answering my inquiry whether she liked dancing察 by replying察
^not with boys察院 tied it across her chin and went home
contemptuous。
^Old Mr Turveydrop is so sorry察院said Caddy察 that he has not
finished dressing yet察and cannot have the pleasure of seeing you
before you go。 You are such a favourite of his察Esther。 ̄
I expressed myself much obliged to him察 but did not think it
necessary to add that I readily dispensed with this attention。
^It takes him a long time to dress察院said Caddy察 because he is
very much looked up to in such things察 you know察 and has a
reputation to support。 You can¨t think how kind he is to Pa。 He
talks to Pa察 of an evening察about the Prince Regent察 and I never
saw Pa so interested。 ̄
There was something in the picture of Mr Turveydrop
bestowing his Deportment on Mr Jellyby察that quite took my fancy。
I asked Caddy if he brought her papa out much拭
^No察院said Caddy察 I don¨t know that he does that察but he talks
to Pa察 and Pa greatly admires him察 and listens察 and likes it。 Of

course I am aware that Pa has hardly any claims to Deportment察
but they get on together delightfully。 You can¨t think what good
companions they make。 I never saw Pa take snuff before in my
life察but he takes one pinch out of Mr Turveydrop¨s box regularly察
and keeps putting it to his nose and taking it away again察all the
evening。
That old Mr Turveydrop should ever察 in the chances and
changes of life察 have come to the rescue of Mr Jellyby from
Borrioboola Gha察 appeared to me to be one of the pleasantest of
oddities。
^As to Peepy察院said Caddy察with a little hesitation察 whom I was
most afraid of!next to having any family of my own察Esther!as
an inconvenience to Mr Turveydrop察 the kindness of the old
gentleman to that child is beyond everything。 He asks to see him察
my dear He lets him take the newspaper up to him to bed察 he
gives him the crusts of his toast to eat察 he sends him on little
errands about the house察he tells him to come to me for sixpences。
In short察院 said Caddy cheerily察 and not to prose察 I am a very
fortunate girl察and ought to be very grateful。 Where are we going察
Esther拭院
^To the Old Street Road察院said I察 where I have a few words to
say to the solicitor¨s clerk察who was sent to meet me at the coach´
office on the very day when I came to London察and first saw you察
my dear。 Now I think of it察 the gentleman brought us to your
house。 ̄
^Then察 indeed察 I seem to be naturally the person to go with
you察院returned Caddy。
To the Old Street Road we went察 a
