ILLUSTRATIVE, LIKE THE PRECEDING ONE,OF THE OLD PROVERB, THAT ADVERSITYBRINGS A MAN ACQUAINTED WITH STRANGEBEDFELLOWS―LIKEWISE CONTAINING Mr.
PICKWICK’S EXTRAORDINARY ANDSTARTLING ANNOUNCEMENT TO Mr.
SAMUEL WELLERhen Mr. Pickwick opened his eyes next morning, thefirst object upon which they rested was Samuel Weller,seated upon a small black portmanteau, intentlyregarding, apparently1 in a condition of profound abstraction, thestately figure of the dashing Mr. Smangle; while Mr. Smanglehimself, who was already partially2 dressed, was seated on hisbedstead, occupied in the desperately3 hopeless attempt of staringMr. Weller out of countenance4. We say desperately hopeless,because Sam, with a comprehensive gaze which took in Mr.
Smangle’s cap, feet, head, face, legs, and whiskers, all at the sametime, continued to look steadily5 on, with every demonstration6 oflively satisfaction, but with no more regard to Mr. Smangle’spersonal sentiments on the subject than he would have displayedhad he been inspecting a wooden statue, or a straw-embowelledGuy Fawkes.
‘Well; will you know me again?’ said Mr. Smangle, with a frown.
‘I’d svear to you anyveres, sir,’ replied Sam cheerfully.
‘Don’t be impertinent to a gentleman, sir,’ said Mr. Smangle.
‘Not on no account,’ replied Sam. ‘If you’ll tell me wen hewakes, I’ll be upon the wery best extra-super behaviour!’ Thisobservation, having a remote tendency to imply that Mr. Smanglewas no gentleman, kindled7 his ire.
‘Mivins!’ said Mr. Smangle, with a passionate8 air.
‘What’s the office?’ replied that gentleman from his couch.
‘Who the devil is this fellow?’
‘‘Gad,’ said Mr. Mivins, looking lazily out from under the bed-clothes, ‘I ought to ask you that. Hasn’t he any business here?’
