Dombey and Son Chapter 10 - Containing the Sequel of the Midshipman's Disaster

In which we observe the curious proceedings of Major Bagstock, whose persistent and jocular efforts to acquaint himself with the Dombey family culminate in an introduction most consequential, and the tender entreaties of young Walter Gay, who brings before Mr Dombey a pressing plea for the relief of an afflicted relative. This chapter unfolds with a mingling of military anecdote, genteel hospitality, and heartfelt supplication, all set against the quiet dignity of Dombey’s household.
