Excerpt from Dealings With the Firm of Dombey and Son, Vol. 2 of 3: Wholesale, Retail, and for ExportationThe major no sooner heard the voice than he relinquished Mr. Dombey's arm, darted forward, took the hand Of the lady in the chair, and pressed it to his lips. With no less gallantry the major folded both his gloves upon his heart, and bowed low to the other lady. And now, the chair having stopped, the motive power became visible in the Shape of a ¿ushed page pushing behind, who seemed to have in part outgrown and in part outpushed his strength, for when he stood upright he was tall, and wan, and thin, and his plight appeared the more forlorn from his having injured the shape of his hat, by butting at the carriage with his head to urge it forward, as is sometimes done by elephants in Oriental countries.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
