Wherein Mr Ralph Nickleby is visited by Personswith whom the Reader has been already madeacquainted.

　　‘W hat a demnition long time you have kept me ringingat this confounded old cracked tea-kettle of a bell,every tinkle¹ of which is enough to throw a strongman into blue convulsions, upon my life and soul, oh demmit,’—said Mr Mantalini to Newman Noggs, scraping his boots, as hespoke, on Ralph Nickleby’s scraper.

　　‘I didn’t hear the bell more than once,’ replied Newman.

　　‘Then you are most immensely and outr-i-geously deaf,’ said MrMantalini, ‘as deaf as a demnition post.’

　　Mr Mantalini had got by this time into the passage, and wasmaking his way to the door of Ralph’s office with very littleceremony, when Newman interposed his body; and hinting thatMr Nickleby was unwilling³ to be disturbed, inquired whether theclient’s business was of a pressing nature.

　　‘It is most demnebly particular,’ said Mr Mantalini. ‘It is to meltsome scraps⁴ of dirty paper into bright, shining, chinking, tinkling,demd mint sauce.’

　　Newman uttered a significant grunt⁶, and taking Mr Mantalini’sproffered card, limped with it into his master’s office. As he thrusthis head in at the door, he saw that Ralph had resumed thethoughtful posture⁷ into which he had fallen after perusing⁸ hisnephew’s letter, and that he seemed to have been reading it again, as he once more held it open in his hand. The glance was butmomentary, for Ralph, being disturbed, turned to demand thecause of the interruption.

　　As Newman stated it, the cause himself swaggered into theroom, and grasping Ralph’s horny hand with uncommon⁹ affection,vowed that he had never seen him looking so well in all his life.

　　‘There is quite a bloom upon your demd countenance¹⁰
