• "Show us a picture," said the boy.
• Witnessing the agreement.
• "Here you are again," repeated Mr. Wegg, musing.
• After holding her to his breast with a passionate cry, he took up his bundle....
• "You're casting your eye round the shop, Mr. Wegg.
• Mr. and Mrs. Boffin in Consultation.
• That he knew it as well as she, she knew as well as he. . . .
• Mr. and Mrs. Lammle
• An ill-looking visitor, with a squinting leer. . . .
• It was a little window of but four pieces of glass, and was not curtained."
• "They had opened the door at the bottom of the staircase giving on the yard. . . ."
• "Come here, Toddles and Poddles."
• "Mr. Bradley Headstone, highly certificated school-master, drew his right forefinger through one of the buttonholes. . . ."
• He stood leaning at the door at Lizzie's side.
• "One thing, however, I can do for you," says Twemlow; "and that is, work for you."
• Ah! Here was Alfred. Having stolen in unobserved, . . . .
• "Perched on the stool with his hat cocked on his head and one of his legs dangling, the youth of Fledgeby hardly contrasted to advantage . . . ."
• "Come up and be dead!"
• "Good-evening, Mr. Wegg. The yard-gate lock should be looked to. . . .
• "You never charge me, Miss Wilfer," said the Secretary, encountering her by chance alone.
• "Now, you may give me a kiss, Pa."
• "A kiss for the boofer lady."
• "Meaning," returned the little creature, "every one of you, but you. . . . ."
• And now, as the man held out the bottle to fill all around, Riderhood stood up, leaned over the table to look closer at the knife. . . .
• "Yet the cold was merciful, for it was the cold night air and the rain that restored me from a swoon."
• The dark look of hatred and revenge with which the words broke from his livid lips. . . .

• It was an edifying spectacle, the young man in his easy-chair taking his coffee. . . .
• Jenny twisted her venerable friend aside. [Frontispiece in Harper's edition]
• "It's summut run down in the fog."
• "Oh, indeed, sir! I fancy I can guess whom you think that's like."
• Feigning to be intent on her embroidery, she sat plying her needle . . . .
• "He can never be going to dig up the pole!" whispered Venus. . .
• There'll shortly be an end of you," said Wegg, threatening it with the hat-box.
• "Let me wet your lips again. Am I to open it? To read it?"
• "Oh, Mr. Rokesmith, don't be hard with me, don't be stern with me. . . .
• They almost ran against Bradley Headstone.
• She shook that emphatic little forefinger of hers in his face at parting.
• Mr. Wegg preparing a grindstone for Mr. Boffin's nose.

• Plashwater Weir-Mill Lock.
• The credulous little creature again embraced Mrs. Lammle most affectionately.
• To see this salt old Gruff and Glum waving his shovel hat at Bella.
• "Now, you are something like a genteel boy!"
• "He had sauntered far enough"
• He then went to the river's edge, and flung it in.
• She beheld the extraordinary spectacle of Mr. Fledgeby in his shirt, a pair of Turkish trowsers, and a Turkish cap.
• Miss Jenny gave up altogether on this parting taking place between the friends.
• "Potterson! Look! Look there!"
• "It makes a pretty and promising picter; don't it?"
• Bradley . . . placed his usual signature, enlarged, upon the board.
• Riderhood went over into the smooth pit backward, and Bradley Headstone upon him.
• "There, there, there!" said Miss Wren. "For goodness' sake, stop, giant."
