The
stable
-
yard
exhibited
unequivocal
symptoms
of
the
glory
and
strength
of
the
Eatanswill
Blues
.
There
was
a
regular
army
of
blue
flags
,
some
with
one
handle
,
and
some
with
two
,
exhibiting
appropriate
devices
,
in
golden
characters
four
feet
high
,
and
stout
in
proportion
.
There
was
a
grand
band
of
trumpets
,
bassoons
,
and
drums
,
marshalled
four
abreast
,
and
earning
their
money
,
if
ever
men
did
,
especially
the
drum
-
beaters
,
who
were
very
muscular
.
There
were
bodies
of
constables
with
blue
staves
,
twenty
committee
-
men
with
blue
scarfs
,
and
a
mob
of
voters
with
blue
cockades
.
There
were
electors
on
horseback
and
electors
afoot
.
There
was
an
open
carriage
-
and
-
four
,
for
the
Honourable
Samuel
Slumkey
;
and
there
were
four
carriage
-
and
-
pair
,
for
his
friends
and
supporters
;
and
the
flags
were
rustling
,
and
the
band
was
playing
,
and
the
constables
were
swearing
,
and
the
twenty
committee
-
men
were
squabbling
,
and
the
mob
were
shouting
,
and
the
horses
were
backing
,
and
the
post
-
boys
perspiring
;
and
everybody
,
and
everything
,
then
and
there
assembled
,
was
for
the
special
use
,
behoof
,
honour
,
and
renown
,
of
the
Honourable
Samuel
Slumkey
,
of
Slumkey
Hall
,
one
of
the
candidates
for
the
representation
of
the
borough
of
Eatanswill
,
in
the
Commons
House
of
Parliament
of
the
United
Kingdom
.
Loud
and
long
were
the
cheers
,
and
mighty
was
the
rustling
of
one
of
the
blue
flags
,
with
‘
Liberty
of
the
Press
’
inscribed
thereon
,
when
the
sandy
head
of
Mr
.
Pott
was
discerned
in
one
of
the
windows
,
by
the
mob
beneath
;
and
tremendous
was
the
enthusiasm
when
the
Honourable
Samuel
Slumkey
himself
,
in
top
-
boots
,
and
a
blue
neckerchief
,
advanced
and
seized
the
hand
of
the
said
Pott
,
and
melodramatically
testified
by
gestures
to
the
crowd
,
his
ineffaceable
obligations
to
the
Eatanswill
GAZETTE
.
‘
Is
everything
ready
?
’
said
the
Honourable
Samuel
Slumkey
to
Mr
.
Perker
.
‘
Everything
,
my
dear
Sir
,
’
was
the
little
man
’
s
reply
.
‘
Nothing
has
been
omitted
,
I
hope
?
’
said
the
Honourable
Samuel
Slumkey
.
‘
Nothing
has
been
left
undone
,
my
dear
sir
—
nothing
whatever
.
There
are
twenty
washed
men
at
the
street
door
for
you
to
shake
hands
with
;
and
six
children
in
arms
that
you
’
re
to
pat
on
the
head
,
and
inquire
the
age
of
;
be
particular
about
the
children
,
my
dear
sir
—
it
has
always
a
great
effect
,
that
sort
of
thing
.
’
‘
I
’
ll
take
care
,
’
said
the
Honourable
Samuel
Slumkey
.
‘
And
,
perhaps
,
my
dear
Sir
,
’
said
the
cautious
little
man
,
‘
perhaps
if
you
could
—
I
don
’
t
mean
to
say
it
’
s
indispensable
—
but
if
you
could
manage
to
kiss
one
of
’
em
,
it
would
produce
a
very
great
impression
on
the
crowd
.
’
‘
Wouldn
’
t
it
have
as
good
an
effect
if
the
proposer
or
seconder
did
that
?
’
said
the
Honourable
Samuel
Slumkey
.
