Context
“(for people are jealous, and it is limited) , to your advantage.’
‘You are very good,’ replied Mr Dorrit. ‘You are very good.’
‘Of course,’ said Mr Merdle, ‘there must be the strictest integrity and uprightness in these transactions; there must be the purest faith between man and man; there must be unimpeached and unimpeachable confidence; or business could not be carried on.’

‘Therefore,’ said Mr Merdle, ‘I can only give you a preference to a certain extent.’
‘I perceive.”
