“No, no,” said Mr. Wickfield. “Why should you be inconvenienced? There’s another room. There’s another room.”

“Oh, but you know,” returned Uriah, with a grin, “I should really be delighted!”

To cut the matter short, I said I would have the other room or none at all; so it was settled that I should have the other room; and, taking my leave of the firm until dinner, I went upstairs again.
