Notwithstanding all the expedition he had used,however, the gate had been closed a good half-hour when hereached it, and by the time he had discovered Mr. Perker’slaundress, who lived with a married daughter, who had bestowedher hand upon a non-resident waiter, who occupied the one-pairof some number in some street closely adjoining to some brewerysomewhere behind Gray’s Inn Lane, it was within fifteen minutesof closing the prison for the night. Mr. Lowten had still to beferreted out from the back parlour of the Magpie⁸ and Stump⁹; andJob had scarcely accomplished¹⁰ this object, and communicatedSam Weller’s message, when the clock struck ten.

　　‘There,’ said Lowten, ‘it’s too late now. You can’t get in to-night;you’ve got the key of the street, my friend.’

　　‘Never mind me,’ replied Job. ‘I can sleep anywhere. But won’tit be better to see Mr. Perker to-night, so that we may be there, thefirst thing in the morning?’

　　‘Why,’ responded Lowten, after a little consideration, ‘if it wasin anybody else’s case, Perker wouldn’t be best pleased at mygoing up to his house; but as it’s Mr. Pickwick’s, I think I mayventure to take a cab and charge it to the office.’ Deciding on thisline of conduct, Mr. Lowten took up his hat, and begging theassembled company to appoint a deputy-chairman during histemporary absence, led the way to the nearest coach-stand.
