The Painter's Honeymoon
¡¡¡¡Mr. Omer coughed again, in consequence of laughing, and was assisted out of his fit by his daughter, who now stood close beside us, dancing her smallest child on the counter. ¡¡¡¡'Dear me!' said Mr. Omer. 'Yes, to be sure. Two parties! Why, in that very ride, if you'll believe me, the day was named for my Minnie to marry Joram. "Do name it, sir," says Joram. "Yes, do, father," says Minnie. And now he's come into the business. And look here! The youngest!' ¡¡¡¡Minnie laughed, and stroked her banded hair upon her temples, as her father put one of his fat fingers into the hand of the child she was dancing on the counter. ¡¡¡¡'Two parties, of course!' said Mr. Omer, nodding his head retrospectively. 'Ex-actly so! And Joram's at work, at this minute, on a grey one w
oil paintingth silver nails, not this measurement' - the measurement of the dancing child upon the counter - 'by a good two inches. - Will you take something?' ¡¡¡¡I thanked him, but declined. ¡¡¡¡'Let me see,' said Mr. Omer. 'Barkis's the carrier's wife - Peggotty's the boatman's sister - she had something to do with your family? She was in service there, sure?' ¡¡¡¡My answering in the affirmative gave him great satisfaction. ¡¡¡¡'I believe my breath will get long next, my memory's getting so much so,' said Mr. Omer. 'Well, sir, we've got a young relation of hers here, under articles to us, that has as elegant a taste in the dress-making business - I assure you I don't believe there's a Duchess in England can touch her.' ¡¡¡¡'Not little Em'ly?' said I, involuntarily. ¡¡¡¡'Em'ly's her name,' said Mr. Omer, 'and she's little too. But if you'll believe me, she has such a face of her own that half the women in this town are mad against her.' ¡¡¡¡'Nonsense, father!' cried Minnie.
