Passage Illustrated

‘Oh well, Miss Floy! And won’t your Pa be angry neither!" cried a quick voice at the door, proceeding from a short, brown, womanly girl of fourteen, with a little snub nose, and black eyes like jet beads. "When it was ‘tickerlerly given out that you wasn’t to go and worrit the wet nurse."

"She don’t worry me," was the surprised rejoinder of Polly. "I am very fond of children."

"Oh! but begging your pardon, Mrs. Richards, that don’t matter, you know," returned the black-eyed girl, who was so desperately sharp and biting that she seemed to make one’s eyes water. "I may be very fond of pennywinkles, Mrs. Richards, but it don’t follow that I’m to have ‘em for tea."

"Well, it don’t matter," said Polly.

"Oh, thank’ee, Mrs Richards, don’t it!" returned the sharp girl. "Remembering, however, if you’ll be so good, that Miss Floy’s under my charge, and Master Paul’s under your’n." [Chapter 3, "In which Mr. Dombey, as a Man and a Father, is seen at the Head of the Home-Department," 14]
