And
how
much
more
interesting
did
the
spectacle
become
,
when
,
starting
into
full
life
and
animation
,
as
a
simultaneous
call
for
‘
Pickwick
’
burst
from
his
followers
,
that
illustrious
man
slowly
mounted
into
the
Windsor
chair
,
on
which
he
had
been
previously
seated
,
and
addressed
the
club
himself
had
founded
.
What
a
study
for
an
artist
did
that
exciting
scene
present
!
The
eloquent
Pickwick
,
with
one
hand
gracefully
concealed
behind
his
coat
tails
,
and
the
other
waving
in
air
to
assist
his
glowing
declamation
;
his
elevated
position
revealing
those
tights
and
gaiters
,
which
,
had
they
clothed
an
ordinary
man
,
might
have
passed
without
observation
,
but
which
,
when
Pickwick
clothed
them
—
if
we
may
use
the
expression
—
inspired
involuntary
awe
and
respect
;
surrounded
by
the
men
who
had
volunteered
to
share
the
perils
of
his
travels
,
and
who
were
destined
to
participate
in
the
glories
of
his
discoveries
.
On
his
right
sat
Mr
.
Tracy
Tupman
—
the
too
susceptible
Tupman
,
who
to
the
wisdom
and
experience
of
maturer
years
superadded
the
enthusiasm
and
ardour
of
a
boy
in
the
most
interesting
and
pardonable
of
human
weaknesses
—
love
.
Time
and
feeding
had
expanded
that
once
romantic
form
;
the
black
silk
waistcoat
had
become
more
and
more
developed
;
inch
by
inch
had
the
gold
watch
-
chain
beneath
it
disappeared
from
within
the
range
of
Tupman
’
s
vision
;
and
gradually
had
the
capacious
chin
encroached
upon
the
borders
of
the
white
cravat
:
but
the
soul
of
Tupman
had
known
no
change
—
admiration
of
the
fair
sex
was
still
its
ruling
passion
.
On
the
left
of
his
great
leader
sat
the
poetic
Snodgrass
,
and
near
him
again
the
sporting
Winkle
;
the
former
poetically
enveloped
in
a
mysterious
blue
cloak
with
a
canine
-
skin
collar
,
and
the
latter
communicating
additional
lustre
to
a
new
green
shooting
-
coat
,
plaid
neckerchief
,
and
closely
-
fitted
drabs
.
Mr
.
Pickwick
’
s
oration
upon
this
occasion
,
together
with
the
debate
thereon
,
is
entered
on
the
Transactions
of
the
Club
.
Both
bear
a
strong
affinity
to
the
discussions
of
other
celebrated
bodies
;
and
,
as
it
is
always
interesting
to
trace
a
resemblance
between
the
proceedings
of
great
men
,
we
transfer
the
entry
to
these
pages
.
‘
Mr
.
Pickwick
observed
(
says
the
secretary
)
that
fame
was
dear
to
the
heart
of
every
man
.
Poetic
fame
was
dear
to
the
heart
of
his
friend
Snodgrass
;
the
fame
of
conquest
was
equally
dear
to
his
friend
Tupman
;
and
the
desire
of
earning
fame
in
the
sports
of
the
field
,
the
air
,
and
the
water
was
uppermost
in
the
breast
of
his
friend
Winkle
.
He
(
Mr
.
Pickwick
)
would
not
deny
that
he
was
influenced
by
human
passions
and
human
feelings
(
cheers
)
—
possibly
by
human
weaknesses
(
loud
cries
of
"
No
"
)
;
but
this
he
would
say
,
that
if
ever
the
fire
of
self
-
importance
broke
out
in
his
bosom
,
the
desire
to
benefit
the
human
race
in
preference
effectually
quenched
it
.
The
praise
of
mankind
was
his
swing
;
philanthropy
was
his
insurance
office
.
(
Vehement
cheering
.
)
He
had
felt
some
pride
—
he
acknowledged
it
freely
,
and
let
his
enemies
make
the
most
of
it
—
he
had
felt
some
pride
when
he
presented
his
Tittlebatian
Theory
to
the
world
;
it
might
be
celebrated
or
it
might
not
.
(
A
cry
of
"
It
is
,
"
and
great
cheering
.
)
He
would
take
the
assertion
of
that
honourable
Pickwickian
whose
voice
he
had
just
heard
—
it
was
celebrated
;
but
if
the
fame
of
that
treatise
were
to
extend
to
the
farthest
confines
of
the
known
world
,
the
pride
with
which
he
should
reflect
on
the
authorship
of
that
production
would
be
as
nothing
compared
with
the
pride
with
which
he
looked
around
him
,
on
this
,
the
proudest
moment
of
his
existence
.
(
Cheers
.
)
He
was
a
humble
individual
.
(
"
No
,
no
.
"
)
Still
he
could
not
but
feel
that
they
had
selected
him
for
a
service
of
great
honour
,
and
of
some
danger
.
Travelling
was
in
a
troubled
state
,
and
the
minds
of
coachmen
were
unsettled
.
Let
them
look
abroad
and
contemplate
the
scenes
which
were
enacting
around
them
.
Stage
-
coaches
were
upsetting
in
all
directions
,
horses
were
bolting
,
boats
were
overturning
,
and
boilers
were
bursting
.
(
Cheers
—
a
voice
"
No
.
"
)
No
!
(
Cheers
.
)
Let
that
honourable
Pickwickian
who
cried
"
No
"
so
loudly
come
forward
and
deny
it
,
if
he
could
.
(
Cheers
.
)
Who
was
it
that
cried
"
No
"
?
(
Enthusiastic
cheering
.
)
Was
it
some
vain
and
disappointed
man
—
he
would
not
say
haberdasher
(
loud
cheers
)
—
who
,
jealous
of
the
praise
which
had
been
—
perhaps
undeservedly
—
bestowed
on
his
(
Mr
.
Pickwick
’
s
)
researches
,
and
smarting
under
the
censure
which
had
been
heaped
upon
his
own
feeble
attempts
at
rivalry
,
now
took
this
vile
and
calumnious
mode
of
—
–
‘
Mr
.
BLOTTON
(
of
Aldgate
)
rose
to
order
.
Did
the
honourable
Pickwickian
allude
to
him
?
(
Cries
of
"
Order
,
"
"
Chair
,
"
"
Yes
,
"
"
No
,
"
"
Go
on
,
"
"
Leave
off
,
"
etc
.
)
‘
Mr
.
PICKWICK
would
not
put
up
to
be
put
down
by
clamour
.
He
had
alluded
to
the
honourable
gentleman
.
(
Great
excitement
.
)
‘
Mr
.
BLOTTON
would
only
say
then
,
that
he
repelled
the
hon
.
gent
.
‘
s
false
and
scurrilous
accusation
,
with
profound
contempt
.
(
Great
cheering
.
)
The
hon
.
gent
.
was
a
humbug
.
(
Immense
confusion
,
and
loud
cries
of
"
Chair
,
"
and
"
Order
.
"
)
‘
Mr
.
A
.
SNODGRASS
rose
to
order
.
He
threw
himself
upon
the
chair
.
(
Hear
.
)
He
wished
to
know
whether
this
disgraceful
contest
between
two
members
of
that
club
should
be
allowed
to
continue
.

Hear
