Page 360 - My client's hopes and prospects are ruined, and it is no figure of speech to say that her occupation is gone indeed. The bill is down — but there is no tenant. Eligible single gentlemen pass and repass — but there is no invitation for them to inquire within or without. All is gloom and silence in the house; even the voice of the child is hushed; his infant sports are disregarded when his mother weeps; his "alley tors" and his "commoneys" are alike neglected; he forgets the long familiar cry of...

Page 344 - No it don't," replied Sam, reading on very quickly, to avoid contesting the point. " ' Except of me Mary my dear as your Walentine and think over what I've eaid. — My dear Mary I will now conclude.' That's all," said Sam.

Page 366 - I never had occasion to spell it more than once or twice in my life, but I spells it with a *V.'" Here a voice in the gallery exclaimed aloud, "Quite right too, Samivel, quite right. Put it down a we, my Lord, put it down a we.
Page 358 - Of this man Pickwick I will say little; the subject presents but few attractions; and I, gentlemen, am not the man, nor are you, gentlemen, the men, to delight in the contemplation of revolting heartlessness, and of systematic villany.
Page 359 - And then follows this very remarkable expression, Don't trouble yourself about the warmingpan. The warming-pan ? Why, gentlemen, who does trouble himself about a warming-pan? When was the peace of mind of man or woman broken or disturbed by a warming-pan, which is in itself a harmless, a useful, and I will add, gentlemen, a comforting article of domestic furniture?
