FURTHER CONTINUATION OF THE ENTERPRISE OF MR JONAS AND HIS FRIEND
It was a special quality, among the many admirable qualities possessed1 by Mr Pecksniff, that the more he was found out, the more hypocrisy2 he practised. Let him be discomfited3 in one quarter, and he refreshed and recompensed himself by carrying the war into another. If his workings and windings4 were detected by A, so much the greater reason was there for practicing without loss of time on B, if it were only to keep his hand in. He had never been such a saintly and improving spectacle to all about him, as after his detection by Thomas Pinch. He had scarcely ever been at once so tender in his humanity, and so dignified5 and exalted6 in his virtue7, as when young Martin’s scorn was fresh and hot upon him.
Having this large stock of superfluous8 sentiment and morality on hand which must positively9 be cleared off at any sacrifice, Mr Pecksniff no sooner heard his son-in-law announced, than he regarded him as a kind of wholesale10 or general order, to be immediately executed. Descending11, therefore, swiftly to the parlour, and clasping the young man in his arms, he exclaimed, with looks and gestures that denoted the perturbation of his spirit:
‘Jonas. My child—she is well! There is nothing the matter?’
‘What, you’re at it again, are you?’ replied his son-in-law. ‘Even with me? Get away with you, will you?’
