Passage Illustrated: Paul meets Mr. Toots the Clotheshorse

"Your father’s regularly rich, ain’t he?" inquired Mr. Toots.

"Yes, Sir," said Paul. "He’s Dombey and Son."

"And which?" demanded Toots.

"And Son, Sir," replied Paul.

Mr. Toots made one or two attempts, in a low voice, to fix the Firm in his mind; but not quite succeeding, said he would get Paul to mention the name again to-morrow morning, as it was rather important. And indeed he purposed nothing less than writing himself a private and confidential letter from Dombey and Son immediately. [Chapter 12, "Paul's Education," 81]
