Dombey and Son Chapter 7 - A Bird's-eye Glimpse of Miss Tox's Dwelling-place; also of the state of Miss Tox's Affections

In which we take a quietly intimate tour through the cramped and shadowed confines of Miss Tox’s humble abode in Princess’s Place, observing the small, genteel airs that animate her existence and the peculiar social tinctures that stain her interactions, especially with the self-important Major Bagstock. We witness a subtle but profound shift in her attentions and affections, marked by the arrival of a small new charge whose silent presence stirs many unspoken hopes and dreams beneath the worn elegance of Miss Tox’s gradually brightening domestic sphere.
