âWhere I live,â said Mr. Boffin, âis called The Bower. Boffinâs Bower is the name Mrs. Boffin christened it when we come into it as a property. If you should meet with anybody that donât know it by that name (which hardly anybody does), when youâve got nigh upon about a odd mile, or say and a quarter if you like, up Maiden Lane, Battle Bridge, ask for Harmony Jail, and youâll be put right. I shall expect you, Wegg,â said Mr. Boffin, clapping him on the shoulder with the greatest enthusiasm, âmost joyfully. I shall have no peace or patience till you come. Print is now opening ahead of me. This night, a literary manâ â with a wooden legâ ââ he bestowed an admiring look upon that decoration, as if it greatly enhanced the relish of Mr. Weggâs attainmentsâ ââwill begin to lead me a new life! My fist again, Wegg. Morning, morning, morning!â
