Charles Dickens Quotes
Well, It Was Really Very Pleasant To See How Things Lazily Adapted Themselves To Purposes. Here Was This Mr Gridley, A Man Of A Robust Will, And Surprising Energy - Intellectually Speaking, A Sort Of Inharmonious Blacksmith* - And He Could Easily Imagine That There Gridley Was, Years Ago, Wandering About In Life For Something To Expend His Superfluous Combativeness Upon - A Sort Of Young Love Among The Thorns - When The Court Of Chancery Came In His Way, And Accommodated Him With The Exact Thing He Wanted. There They Were, Matched, Ever Afterwards! Otherwise He Might Have Been A Great General, Blowing Up All Sorts Of Towns, Or He Might Have Been A Great Politician, Dealing In All Sorts Of Parliamentary Rhetoric; But, As It Was, He And The Court Of Chancery Had Fallen Upon Each Other In The Pleasantest Way, And Nobody Was Much The Worse, And Gridley Was, So To Speak, From That Hour Provided For.
