Dombey and Son

CHAPTER 16
8/11

No other woman would have so forgotten everybody there but him and Floy, and been so full of tenderness and pity.
'Floy! this is a kind good face!' said Paul.

'I am glad to see it again.
Don't go away, old nurse! Stay here.' His senses were all quickened, and he heard a name he knew.
'Who was that, who said "Walter" ?' he asked, looking round.

'Someone said Walter.

Is he here?
I should like to see him very much.' Nobody replied directly; but his father soon said to Susan, 'Call him back, then: let him come up!' Alter a short pause of expectation, during which he looked with smiling interest and wonder, on his nurse, and saw that she had not forgotten Floy, Walter was brought into the room.
His open face and manner, and his cheerful eyes, had always made him a favourite with Paul; and when Paul saw him' he stretched Out his hand, and said 'Good-bye!' 'Good-bye, my child!' said Mrs Pipchin, hurrying to his bed's head.

'Not good-bye ?' For an instant, Paul looked at her with the wistful face with which he had so often gazed upon her in his corner by the fire.
