| | Bleak House by Charles Dickens: Chapter 10 |
 | | So now, in Cook’s Court, Cursitor Street, Mr Snagsby and the niece are one; and the niece still cherishes her figure — which, however tastes may differ, is unquestionably so far precious, that there is mighty little of it. |
 | | She believes the little drawing-room upstairs, always kept, as one may say, with its hair in papers and its pinafore on, to be the most elegant apartment in Christendom. |
 | | The view it commands of Cook’s Court at one end (not to mention a squint into Cursitor Street), and of Coavinses’ the sheriff’s officer’s backyard at the other, she regards as a prospect of unequalled beauty. |
