‘Sam,’ said Mr. Pickwick, ‘have the goodness to stepdownstairs.’
‘Cert’nly, sir,’ replied Mr. Weller; and acting2 on Mr. Pickwick’sgentle hint, Sam retired3.
‘No, Perker,’ said Mr. Pickwick, with great seriousness ofmanner, ‘my friends here have endeavoured to dissuade4 me fromthis determination, but without avail. I shall employ myself asusual, until the opposite party have the power of issuing a legalprocess of execution against me; and if they are vile5 enough toavail themselves of it, and to arrest my person, I shall yield myselfup with perfect cheerfulness and content of heart. When can theydo this?’
‘They can issue execution, my dear sir, for the amount of thedamages and taxed costs, next term,’ replied Perker, ‘just twomonths hence, my dear sir.’
‘Very good,’ said Mr. Pickwick. ‘Until that time, my dear fellow,let me hear no more of the matter. And now,’ continued Mr.
Pickwick, looking round on his friends with a good-humouredsmile, and a sparkle in the eye which no spectacles could dim orconceal, ‘the only question is, Where shall we go next?’
Mr. Tupman and Mr. Snodgrass were too much affected6 bytheir friend’s heroism7 to offer any reply. Mr. Winkle had not yetsufficiently recovered the recollection of his evidence at the trial,to make any observation on any subject, so Mr. Pickwick pausedin vain.
