Illustrative of the convivial1 Sentiment, that the bestof Friends must sometimes part.
The pavement of Snow Hill had been baking and frying allday in the heat, and the twain Saracens’ heads guardingthe entrance to the hostelry of whose name and sign theyare the duplicate presentments, looked—or seemed, in the eyes ofjaded and footsore passers-by, to look—more vicious than usual,after blistering2 and scorching3 in the sun, when, in one of the inn’ssmallest sitting-rooms, through whose open window there rose, ina palpable steam, wholesome4 exhalations from reeking5 coach-horses, the usual furniture of a tea-table was displayed in neat andinviting order, flanked by large joints6 of roast and boiled, a tongue,a pigeon pie, a cold fowl7, a tankard of ale, and other little mattersof the like kind, which, in degenerate8 towns and cities, aregenerally understood to belong more particularly to solid lunches,stage-coach dinners, or unusually substantial breakfasts.
Mr John Browdie, with his hands in his pockets, hoveredrestlessly about these delicacies9, stopping occasionally to whiskthe flies out of the sugar-basin with his wife’s pocket-handkerchief, or to dip a teaspoon10 in the milk-pot and carry it tohis mouth, or to cut off a little knob of crust, and a little corner ofmeat, and swallow them at two gulps11 like a couple of pills. Afterevery one of these flirtations with the eatables, he pulled out hiswatch, and declared with an earnestness quite pathetic that hecouldn’t undertake to hold out two minutes longer.
