Mr. SAMUEL WELLER, BEING INTRUSTEDWITH A MISSION OF LOVE, PROCEEDS TOEXECUTE IT; WITH WHAT SUCCESS WILLHEREINAFTER APPEARuring the whole of next day, Sam kept Mr. Winklesteadily in sight, fully¹ determined² not to take his eyes offhim for one instant, until he should receive expressinstructions from the fountain-head. However disagreeable Sam’svery close watch and great vigilance were to Mr. Winkle, hethought it better to bear with them, than, by any act of violentopposition, to hazard being carried away by force, which Mr.

　　Weller more than once strongly hinted was the line of conduct thata strict sense of duty prompted him to pursue. There is littlereason to doubt that Sam would very speedily have quieted hisscruples, by bearing Mr. Winkle back to Bath, bound hand andfoot, had not Mr. Pickwick’s prompt attention to the note, whichDowler had undertaken to deliver, forestalled³ any suchproceeding. In short, at eight o’clock in the evening, Mr. Pickwickhimself walked into the coffee-room of the Bush Tavern⁴, and toldSam with a smile, to his very great relief, that he had done quiteright, and it was unnecessary for him to mount guard any longer.

　　‘I thought it better to come myself,’ said Mr. Pickwick,addressing Mr. Winkle, as Sam disencumbered him of his great-coat and travelling-shawl, ‘to ascertain⁵, before I gave my consentto Sam’s employment in this matter, that you are quite in earnestand serious, with respect to this young lady.’

　　‘Serious, from my heart―from my soul!’ returned Mr. Winkle,with great energy.

　　‘Remember,’ said Mr. Pickwick, with beaming eyes, ‘we met herat our excellent and hospitable⁶ friend’s, Winkle. It would be an illreturn to tamper⁷ lightly, and without due consideration, with thisyoung lady’s affections. I’ll not allow that, sir. I’ll not allow it.’

　　‘I have no such intention, indeed,’ exclaimed Mr. Winklewarmly. ‘I have considered the matter well, for a long time, and Ifeel that my happiness is bound up in her.’
