Matrimonial differences are usually discussed by the parties concerned in the form of dialogue, in which the lady bears at least her full half share. Those of Mr and Mrs Quilp, however, were an exception to the general rule; the remarks which they occasioned being limited to a long soliloquy on the part of the gentleman, with perhaps a few deprecatory observations from the lady, not extending beyond a trembling monosyllable uttered at long
intervals1, and in a very submissive and
humble2 tone. On the present occasion, Mrs Quilp did not for a long time venture even on this gentle defence, but when she had recovered from her fainting-fit, sat in a tearful silence,
meekly3 listening to the reproaches of her lord and master.
Of these Mr Quilp delivered himself with the utmost
animation4 and rapidity, and with so many distortions of limb and feature, that even his wife, although tolerably well accustomed to his
proficiency5 in these respects, was well-nigh beside herself with alarm. But the Jamaica rum, and the joy of having occasioned a heavy disappointment, by degrees cooled Mr Quilp’s
wrath6; which from being at
savage7 heat, dropped slowly to the
bantering8 or
chuckling9 point, at which it
steadily10 remained.
‘So you thought I was dead and gone, did you?’ said Quilp. ‘You thought you were a widow, eh? Ha, ha, ha, you
jade11.”
‘Indeed, Quilp,’ returned his wife. ‘I’m very sorry —’
