‘
I
have
been
hasty
,
too
,
’
said
he
.
‘
No
,
no
,
’
interrupted
Mr
.
Pickwick
,
‘
the
fault
was
mine
.
You
will
wear
the
green
velvet
jacket
?
’
‘
No
,
no
,
’
replied
Mr
.
Tupman
.
‘
To
oblige
me
,
you
will
,
’
resumed
Mr
.
Pickwick
.
‘
Well
,
well
,
I
will
,
’
said
Mr
.
Tupman
.
It
was
accordingly
settled
that
Mr
.
Tupman
,
Mr
.
Winkle
,
and
Mr
.
Snodgrass
,
should
all
wear
fancy
-
dresses
.
Thus
Mr
.
Pickwick
was
led
by
the
very
warmth
of
his
own
good
feelings
to
give
his
consent
to
a
proceeding
from
which
his
better
judgment
would
have
recoiled
—
a
more
striking
illustration
of
his
amiable
character
could
hardly
have
been
conceived
,
even
if
the
events
recorded
in
these
pages
had
been
wholly
imaginary
.
Mr
.
Leo
Hunter
had
not
exaggerated
the
resources
of
Mr
.
Solomon
Lucas
.
His
wardrobe
was
extensive
—
very
extensive
—
not
strictly
classical
perhaps
,
not
quite
new
,
nor
did
it
contain
any
one
garment
made
precisely
after
the
fashion
of
any
age
or
time
,
but
everything
was
more
or
less
spangled
;
and
what
can
be
prettier
than
spangles
!
It
may
be
objected
that
they
are
not
adapted
to
the
daylight
,
but
everybody
knows
that
they
would
glitter
if
there
were
lamps
;
and
nothing
can
be
clearer
than
that
if
people
give
fancy
-
balls
in
the
day
-
time
,
and
the
dresses
do
not
show
quite
as
well
as
they
would
by
night
,
the
fault
lies
solely
with
the
people
who
give
the
fancy
-
balls
,
and
is
in
no
wise
chargeable
on
the
spangles
.
Such
was
the
convincing
reasoning
of
Mr
.
Solomon
Lucas
;
and
influenced
by
such
arguments
did
Mr
.
Tupman
,
Mr
.
Winkle
,
and
Mr
.
Snodgrass
engage
to
array
themselves
in
costumes
which
his
taste
and
experience
induced
him
to
recommend
as
admirably
suited
to
the
occasion
.
A
carriage
was
hired
from
the
Town
Arms
,
for
the
accommodation
of
the
Pickwickians
,
and
a
chariot
was
ordered
from
the
same
repository
,
for
the
purpose
of
conveying
Mr
.
and
Mrs
.
Pott
to
Mrs
.
Leo
Hunter
’
s
grounds
,
which
Mr
.
Pott
,
as
a
delicate
acknowledgment
of
having
received
an
invitation
,
had
already
confidently
predicted
in
the
Eatanswill
GAZETTE
‘
would
present
a
scene
of
varied
and
delicious
enchantment
—
a
bewildering
coruscation
of
beauty
and
talent
—
a
lavish
and
prodigal
display
of
hospitality
—
above
all
,
a
degree
of
splendour
softened
by
the
most
exquisite
taste
;
and
adornment
refined
with
perfect
harmony
and
the
chastest
good
keeping
—
compared
with
which
,
the
fabled
gorgeousness
of
Eastern
fairyland
itself
would
appear
to
be
clothed
in
as
many
dark
and
murky
colours
,
as
must
be
the
mind
of
the
splenetic
and
unmanly
being
who
could
presume
to
taint
with
the
venom
of
his
envy
,
the
preparations
made
by
the
virtuous
and
highly
distinguished
lady
at
whose
shrine
this
humble
tribute
of
admiration
was
offered
.
’
This
last
was
a
piece
of
biting
sarcasm
against
the
INDEPENDENT
,
who
,
in
consequence
of
not
having
been
invited
at
all
,
had
been
,
through
four
numbers
,
affecting
to
sneer
at
the
whole
affair
,
in
his
very
largest
type
,
with
all
the
adjectives
in
capital
letters
.
