As
it
was
a
raw
evening
,
and
I
was
cold
,
I
thought
I
would
comfort
myself
with
dinner
at
once
;
and
as
I
had
hours
of
dejection
and
solitude
before
me
if
I
went
home
to
the
Temple
,
I
thought
I
would
afterwards
go
to
the
play
.
The
theatre
where
Mr
.
Wopsle
had
achieved
his
questionable
triumph
was
in
that
water
-
side
neighborhood
(
it
is
nowhere
now
)
,
and
to
that
theatre
I
resolved
to
go
.
I
was
aware
that
Mr
.
Wopsle
had
not
succeeded
in
reviving
the
Drama
,
but
,
on
the
contrary
,
had
rather
partaken
of
its
decline
.
He
had
been
ominously
heard
of
,
through
the
play
-
bills
,
as
a
faithful
Black
,
in
connection
with
a
little
girl
of
noble
birth
,
and
a
monkey
.
And
Herbert
had
seen
him
as
a
predatory
Tartar
of
comic
propensities
,
with
a
face
like
a
red
brick
,
and
an
outrageous
hat
all
over
bells
.
I
dined
at
what
Herbert
and
I
used
to
call
a
geographical
chop
-
house
,
where
there
were
maps
of
the
world
in
porter
-
pot
rims
on
every
half
-
yard
of
the
tablecloths
,
and
charts
of
gravy
on
every
one
of
the
knives
—
to
this
day
there
is
scarcely
a
single
chop
-
house
within
the
Lord
Mayor
’
s
dominions
which
is
not
geographical
—
and
wore
out
the
time
in
dozing
over
crumbs
,
staring
at
gas
,
and
baking
in
a
hot
blast
of
dinners
.
By
and
by
,
I
roused
myself
,
and
went
to
the
play
.
There
,
I
found
a
virtuous
boatswain
in
His
Majesty
’
s
service
—
a
most
excellent
man
,
though
I
could
have
wished
his
trousers
not
quite
so
tight
in
some
places
,
and
not
quite
so
loose
in
others
—
who
knocked
all
the
little
men
’
s
hats
over
their
eyes
,
though
he
was
very
generous
and
brave
,
and
who
wouldn
’
t
hear
of
anybody
’
s
paying
taxes
,
though
he
was
very
patriotic
.
He
had
a
bag
of
money
in
his
pocket
,
like
a
pudding
in
the
cloth
,
and
on
that
property
married
a
young
person
in
bed
-
furniture
,
with
great
rejoicings
;
the
whole
population
of
Portsmouth
(
nine
in
number
at
the
last
census
)
turning
out
on
the
beach
to
rub
their
own
hands
and
shake
everybody
else
’
s
,
and
sing
"
Fill
,
fill
!
"
A
certain
dark
-
complexioned
Swab
,
however
,
who
wouldn
’
t
fill
,
or
do
anything
else
that
was
proposed
to
him
,
and
whose
heart
was
openly
stated
(
by
the
boatswain
)
to
be
as
black
as
his
figure
-
head
,
proposed
to
two
other
Swabs
to
get
all
mankind
into
difficulties
;
which
was
so
effectually
done
(
the
Swab
family
having
considerable
political
influence
)
that
it
took
half
the
evening
to
set
things
right
,
and
then
it
was
only
brought
about
through
an
honest
little
grocer
with
a
white
hat
,
black
gaiters
,
and
red
nose
,
getting
into
a
clock
,
with
a
gridiron
,
and
listening
,
and
coming
out
,
and
knocking
everybody
down
from
behind
with
the
gridiron
whom
he
couldn
’
t
confute
with
what
he
had
overheard
.
This
led
to
Mr
.
Wopsle
’
s
(
who
had
never
been
heard
of
before
)
coming
in
with
a
star
and
garter
on
,
as
a
plenipotentiary
of
great
power
direct
from
the
Admiralty
,
to
say
that
the
Swabs
were
all
to
go
to
prison
on
the
spot
,
and
that
he
had
brought
the
boatswain
down
the
Union
Jack
,
as
a
slight
acknowledgment
of
his
public
services
.
The
boatswain
,
unmanned
for
the
first
time
,
respectfully
dried
his
eyes
on
the
Jack
,
and
then
cheering
up
,
and
addressing
Mr
.
Wopsle
as
Your
Honor
,
solicited
permission
to
take
him
by
the
fin
.
Mr
.
Wopsle
,
conceding
his
fin
with
a
gracious
dignity
,
was
immediately
shoved
into
a
dusty
corner
,
while
everybody
danced
a
hornpipe
;
and
from
that
corner
,
surveying
the
public
with
a
discontented
eye
,
became
aware
of
me
.
The
second
piece
was
the
last
new
grand
comic
Christmas
pantomime
,
in
the
first
scene
of
which
,
it
pained
me
to
suspect
that
I
detected
Mr
.
Wopsle
with
red
worsted
legs
under
a
highly
magnified
phosphoric
countenance
and
a
shock
of
red
curtain
-
fringe
for
his
hair
,
engaged
in
the
manufacture
of
thunderbolts
in
a
mine
,
and
displaying
great
cowardice
when
his
gigantic
master
came
home
(
very
hoarse
)
to
dinner
.
But
he
presently
presented
himself
under
worthier
circumstances
;
for
,
the
Genius
of
Youthful
Love
being
in
want
of
assistance
—
on
account
of
the
parental
brutality
of
an
ignorant
farmer
who
opposed
the
choice
of
his
daughter
’
s
heart
,
by
purposely
falling
upon
the
object
,
in
a
flour
-
sack
,
out
of
the
first
-
floor
window
—
summoned
a
sententious
Enchanter
;
and
he
,
coming
up
from
the
antipodes
rather
unsteadily
,
after
an
apparently
violent
journey
,
proved
to
be
Mr
.
Wopsle
in
a
high
-
crowned
hat
,
with
a
necromantic
work
in
one
volume
under
his
arm
.
The
business
of
this
enchanter
on
earth
being
principally
to
be
talked
at
,
sung
at
,
butted
at
,
danced
at
,
and
flashed
at
with
fires
of
various
colors
,
he
had
a
good
deal
of
time
on
his
hands
.
And
I
observed
,
with
great
surprise
,
that
he
devoted
it
to
staring
in
my
direction
as
if
he
were
lost
in
amazement
.
There
was
something
so
remarkable
in
the
increasing
glare
of
Mr
.
Wopsle
’
s
eye
,
and
he
seemed
to
be
turning
so
many
things
over
in
his
mind
and
to
grow
so
confused
,
that
I
could
not
make
it
out
.
I
sat
thinking
of
it
long
after
he
had
ascended
to
the
clouds
in
a
large
watch
-
case
,
and
still
I
could
not
make
it
out
.
I
was
still
thinking
of
it
when
I
came
out
of
the
theatre
an
hour
afterwards
,
and
found
him
waiting
for
me
near
the
door
.
"
How
do
you
do
?
"
said
I
,
shaking
hands
with
him
as
we
turned
down
the
street
together
.
"
I
saw
that
you
saw
me
.
"
"
Saw
you
,
Mr
.
Pip
!
"
he
returned
.
"
Yes
,
of
course
I
saw
you
.
