1In the evening there was rowing on the river. As Drummle and Startop had each a boat, I resolved to set up mine, and to
2cut them both out. I was pretty good at most exercises in which country boys are adepts, but as I was conscious of
3wanting elegance of style for the Thames,--not to say for other waters,--I at once engaged to place myself under the
4tuition of the winner of a prize-wherry who plied at our stairs, and to whom I was introduced by my new allies. This
5practical authority confused me very much by saying I had the arm of a blacksmith. If he could have known how nearly the
6compliment lost him his pupil, I doubt if he would have paid it. There was a supper-tray after we got home at night, and
7I think we should all have enjoyed ourselves, but for a rather disagreeable domestic occurrence. Mr. Pocket was in good
8spirits, when a housemaid came in, and said, "If you please, sir, I should wish to speak to you." "Speak to your
9master?" said Mrs. Pocket, whose dignity was roused again. "How can you think of such a thing? Go and speak to Flopson.
10Or speak to me--at some other time." "Begging your pardon, ma'am," returned the housemaid, "I should wish to speak at
11once, and to speak to master." Hereupon, Mr. Pocket went out of the room, and we made the best of ourselves until he
12came back. "This is a pretty thing, Belinda!" said Mr. Pocket, returning with a countenance expressive of grief and
13despair. "Here's the cook lying insensibly drunk on the kitchen floor, with a large bundle of fresh butter made up in
14the cupboard ready to sell for grease!" Mrs. Pocket instantly showed much amiable emotion, and said, "This is that
15odious Sophia's doing!" "What do you mean, Belinda?" demanded Mr. Pocket. "Sophia has told you," said Mrs. Pocket. "Did
16I not see her with my own eyes and hear her with my own ears, come into the room just now and ask to speak to you?" "But
17has she not taken me downstairs, Belinda," returned Mr. Pocket, "and shown me the woman, and the bundle too?" "And do
18you defend her, Matthew," said Mrs. Pocket, "for making mischief?" Mr. Pocket uttered a dismal groan. "Am I, grandpapa's
19granddaughter, to be nothing in the house?" said Mrs. Pocket. "Besides, the cook has always been a very nice respectful
20woman, and said in the most natural manner when she came to look after the situation, that she felt I was born to be a
21Duchess." There was a sofa where Mr. Pocket stood, and he dropped upon it in the attitude of the Dying Gladiator. Still
22in that attitude he said, with a hollow voice, "Good night, Mr. Pip," when I deemed it advisable to go to bed and leave
23him.
