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

    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。
