‘Fred,’ said Mr Swiveller, ‘remember the once popular melody of Begone dull care; fan the sinking flame of
hilarity1 with the wing of friendship; and pass the
rosy2 wine.’
Mr Richard Swiveller’s apartments were in the neighbourhood of Drury Lane, and in addition to this convenience of situation had the advantage of being over a tobacconist’s shop, so that he was enabled to
procure3 a
refreshing4 sneeze at any time by merely stepping out upon the staircase, and was saved the trouble and expense of maintaining a snuff-box. It was in these apartments that Mr Swiveller made use of the expressions above recorded for the
consolation5 and encouragement of his desponding friend; and it may not be uninteresting or
improper6 to remark that even these brief observations partook in a double sense of the figurative and
poetical7 character of Mr Swiveller’s mind, as the rosy wine was in fact represented by one glass of cold gin-and-water, which was
replenished8 as occasion required from a bottle and
jug9 upon the table, and was passed from one to another, in a
scarcity10 of tumblers which, as Mr Swiveller’s was a bachelor’s establishment, may be acknowledged without a blush. By a like pleasant fiction his single
chamber11 was always mentioned in a
plural
