Quote #7
Howbeit, Twemlow doth at length invest himself with collar and cravat and wristbands to his knuckles, and goeth forth to breakfast. (10.16.3)
Mr. Twemlow is a nice enough guy, but he's also super insecure. That's why he always dresses up to the nines, even for a casual breakfast. He just does it because he's worried about what people might think of him otherwise.
Quote #8
"A hackney coachman may admire me," remarked Bella, with a touch of her mother's loftiness. (11.4.98)
When Mr. Wilfer tells Bella he thinks Mr. Rokesmith is in love with her, she replies that anyone can be in love with her. It doesn't mean they're worthy of her. At this point in the book, Bella is still pretty full of herself and hard to sympathize with.
Quote #9
"Before my eyes he grows suspicious, capricious, hard, tyrannical, unjust." (11.4.125)
Bella begins the book being pretty selfish and status-oriented. But once she sees the kind Mr. Boffin becoming cruel and paranoid, she blames his money and his newfound status for his sudden dirtbag behavior. This moment causes a change in Bella, and from this point, she cares more about people's character than she does about their social status.
