Charles Dickens Quotes
It Was Miss Murdstone Who Was Arrived, And A Gloomy-looking Lady She Was; Dark, Like Her Brother, Whom She Greatly Resembled In Face And Voice; And With Very Heavy Eyebrows, Nearly Meeting Over Her Large Nose, As If, Being Disabled By The Wrongs Of Her Sex From Wearing Whiskers, She Had Carried Them To That Account. She Brought With Her Two Uncompromising Hard Black Boxes, With Her Initials On The Lids In Hard Brass Nails. When She Paid The Coachman She Took Her Money Out Of A Hard Steel Purse, And She Kept The Purse In A Very Jail Of A Bag Which Hung Upon Her Arm By A Heavy Chain, And Shut Up Like A Bite. I Had Never, At That Time, Seen Such A Metallic Lady Altogether As Miss Murdstone Was.
