I
would
not
by
any
means
consent
to
this
,
for
it
occurred
to
me
that
I
really
ought
to
have
a
little
house
-
warming
,
and
that
there
never
could
be
a
better
opportunity
.
I
had
a
new
pride
in
my
rooms
after
his
approval
of
them
,
and
burned
with
a
desire
to
develop
their
utmost
resources
.
I
therefore
made
him
promise
positively
in
the
names
of
his
two
friends
,
and
we
appointed
six
o
’
clock
as
the
dinner
-
hour
.
When
he
was
gone
,
I
rang
for
Mrs
.
Crupp
,
and
acquainted
her
with
my
desperate
design
.
Mrs
.
Crupp
said
,
in
the
first
place
,
of
course
it
was
well
known
she
couldn
’
t
be
expected
to
wait
,
but
she
knew
a
handy
young
man
,
who
she
thought
could
be
prevailed
upon
to
do
it
,
and
whose
terms
would
be
five
shillings
,
and
what
I
pleased
.
I
said
,
certainly
we
would
have
him
.
Next
Mrs
.
Crupp
said
it
was
clear
she
couldn
’
t
be
in
two
places
at
once
(
which
I
felt
to
be
reasonable
)
,
and
that
‘
a
young
gal
’
stationed
in
the
pantry
with
a
bedroom
candle
,
there
never
to
desist
from
washing
plates
,
would
be
indispensable
.
I
said
,
what
would
be
the
expense
of
this
young
female
?
and
Mrs
.
Crupp
said
she
supposed
eighteenpence
would
neither
make
me
nor
break
me
.
I
said
I
supposed
not
;
and
THAT
was
settled
.
Then
Mrs
.
Crupp
said
,
Now
about
the
dinner
.
It
was
a
remarkable
instance
of
want
of
forethought
on
the
part
of
the
ironmonger
who
had
made
Mrs
.
Crupp
’
s
kitchen
fireplace
,
that
it
was
capable
of
cooking
nothing
but
chops
and
mashed
potatoes
.
As
to
a
fish
-
kittle
,
Mrs
.
Crupp
said
,
well
!
would
I
only
come
and
look
at
the
range
?
She
couldn
’
t
say
fairer
than
that
.
Would
I
come
and
look
at
it
?
As
I
should
not
have
been
much
the
wiser
if
I
HAD
looked
at
it
,
I
declined
,
and
said
,
‘
Never
mind
fish
.
’
But
Mrs
.
Crupp
said
,
Don
’
t
say
that
;
oysters
was
in
,
why
not
them
?
So
THAT
was
settled
.
Mrs
.
Crupp
then
said
what
she
would
recommend
would
be
this
.
A
pair
of
hot
roast
fowls
—
from
the
pastry
-
cook
’
s
;
a
dish
of
stewed
beef
,
with
vegetables
—
from
the
pastry
-
cook
’
s
;
two
little
corner
things
,
as
a
raised
pie
and
a
dish
of
kidneys
—
from
the
pastrycook
’
s
;
a
tart
,
and
(
if
I
liked
)
a
shape
of
jelly
—
from
the
pastrycook
’
s
.
This
,
Mrs
.
Crupp
said
,
would
leave
her
at
full
liberty
to
concentrate
her
mind
on
the
potatoes
,
and
to
serve
up
the
cheese
and
celery
as
she
could
wish
to
see
it
done
.
I
acted
on
Mrs
.
Crupp
’
s
opinion
,
and
gave
the
order
at
the
pastry
-
cook
’
s
myself
.
Walking
along
the
Strand
,
afterwards
,
and
observing
a
hard
mottled
substance
in
the
window
of
a
ham
and
beef
shop
,
which
resembled
marble
,
but
was
labelled
‘
Mock
Turtle
’
,
I
went
in
and
bought
a
slab
of
it
,
which
I
have
since
seen
reason
to
believe
would
have
sufficed
for
fifteen
people
.
This
preparation
,
Mrs
.
Crupp
,
after
some
difficulty
,
consented
to
warm
up
;
and
it
shrunk
so
much
in
a
liquid
state
,
that
we
found
it
what
Steerforth
called
‘
rather
a
tight
fit
’
for
four
.
These
preparations
happily
completed
,
I
bought
a
little
dessert
in
Covent
Garden
Market
,
and
gave
a
rather
extensive
order
at
a
retail
wine
-
merchant
’
s
in
that
vicinity
.
When
I
came
home
in
the
afternoon
,
and
saw
the
bottles
drawn
up
in
a
square
on
the
pantry
floor
,
they
looked
so
numerous
(
though
there
were
two
missing
,
which
made
Mrs
.
Crupp
very
uncomfortable
)
,
that
I
was
absolutely
frightened
at
them
.
One
of
Steerforth
’
s
friends
was
named
Grainger
,
and
the
other
Markham
.
They
were
both
very
gay
and
lively
fellows
;
Grainger
,
something
older
than
Steerforth
;
Markham
,
youthful
-
looking
,
and
I
should
say
not
more
than
twenty
.
I
observed
that
the
latter
always
spoke
of
himself
indefinitely
,
as
‘
a
man
’
,
and
seldom
or
never
in
the
first
person
singular
.
‘
A
man
might
get
on
very
well
here
,
Mr
.
Copperfield
,
’
said
Markham
-
meaning
himself
.
‘
It
’
s
not
a
bad
situation
,
’
said
I
,
‘
and
the
rooms
are
really
commodious
.
’
‘
I
hope
you
have
both
brought
appetites
with
you
?
’
said
Steerforth
.
