'We said this week, I believe ?' 'Yes; or Monday will do,' observed Tom.
'No, no, I beg your pardon.

Monday will NOT do,' said Mr Tigg.

'If we stipulated for this week, Saturday is the latest day.

Did we stipulate for this week ?' 'Since you are so particular about it,' said Tom, 'I think we did.' Mr Tigg added this condition to his memorandum; read the entry over to himself with a severe frown; and that the transaction might be the more correct and business-like, appended his initials to the whole.

That done, he assured Mr Pinch that everything was now perfectly regular; and, after squeezing his hand with great fervour, departed.
Tom entertained enough suspicion that Martin might possibly turn this interview into a jest, to render him desirous to avoid the company of that young gentleman for the present.
