[Dombey and Son by Charles Dickens]@TWC D-Link bookDombey and Son CHAPTER 10 25/29
The note being finished, Mr Dombey turned round to his former place, and held it out to Walter. 'Give that,' he said, 'the first thing to-morrow morning, to Mr Carker. He will immediately take care that one of my people releases your Uncle from his present position, by paying the amount at issue; and that such arrangements are made for its repayment as may be consistent with your Uncle's circumstances.
You will consider that this is done for you by Master Paul.' Walter, in the emotion of holding in his hand the means of releasing his good Uncle from his trouble, would have endeavoured to express something of his gratitude and joy.
But Mr Dombey stopped him short. 'You will consider that it is done,' he repeated, 'by Master Paul.
I have explained that to him, and he understands it.
I wish no more to be said.' As he motioned towards the door, Walter could only bow his head and retire.
