[Dombey and Son by Charles Dickens]@TWC D-Link bookDombey and Son CHAPTER 10 13/29
'Joe lives in darkness.
Princess's Place is changed into Kamschatka in the winter time.
There is no ray of sun, Sir, for Joey B., now.' 'Miss Tox is good enough to take a great deal of interest in Paul, Major,' returned Mr Dombey on behalf of that blushing virgin. 'Damme Sir,' said the Major, 'I'm jealous of my little friend.
I'm pining away Sir.
The Bagstock breed is degenerating in the forsaken person of old Joe.' And the Major, becoming bluer and bluer and puffing his cheeks further and further over the stiff ridge of his tight cravat, stared at Miss Tox, until his eyes seemed as if he were at that moment being overdone before the slow fire at the military college. Notwithstanding the palpitation of the heart which these allusions occasioned her, they were anything but disagreeable to Miss Tox, as they enabled her to be extremely interesting, and to manifest an occasional incoherence and distraction which she was not at all unwilling to display.
