Now
it
did
unfortunately
happen
that
old
Lobbs
being
very
hungry
was
monstrous
cross
.
Nathaniel
Pipkin
could
hear
him
growling
away
like
an
old
mastiff
with
a
sore
throat
;
and
whenever
the
unfortunate
apprentice
with
the
thin
legs
came
into
the
room
,
so
surely
did
old
Lobbs
commence
swearing
at
him
in
a
most
Saracenic
and
ferocious
manner
,
though
apparently
with
no
other
end
or
object
than
that
of
easing
his
bosom
by
the
discharge
of
a
few
superfluous
oaths
.
At
length
some
supper
,
which
had
been
warming
up
,
was
placed
on
the
table
,
and
then
old
Lobbs
fell
to
,
in
regular
style
;
and
having
made
clear
work
of
it
in
no
time
,
kissed
his
daughter
,
and
demanded
his
pipe
.
‘
Nature
had
placed
Nathaniel
Pipkin
’
s
knees
in
very
close
juxtaposition
,
but
when
he
heard
old
Lobbs
demand
his
pipe
,
they
knocked
together
,
as
if
they
were
going
to
reduce
each
other
to
powder
;
for
,
depending
from
a
couple
of
hooks
,
in
the
very
closet
in
which
he
stood
,
was
a
large
,
brown
-
stemmed
,
silver
-
bowled
pipe
,
which
pipe
he
himself
had
seen
in
the
mouth
of
old
Lobbs
,
regularly
every
afternoon
and
evening
,
for
the
last
five
years
.
The
two
girls
went
downstairs
for
the
pipe
,
and
upstairs
for
the
pipe
,
and
everywhere
but
where
they
knew
the
pipe
was
,
and
old
Lobbs
stormed
away
meanwhile
,
in
the
most
wonderful
manner
.
At
last
he
thought
of
the
closet
,
and
walked
up
to
it
.
It
was
of
no
use
a
little
man
like
Nathaniel
Pipkin
pulling
the
door
inwards
,
when
a
great
strong
fellow
like
old
Lobbs
was
pulling
it
outwards
.
Old
Lobbs
gave
it
one
tug
,
and
open
it
flew
,
disclosing
Nathaniel
Pipkin
standing
bolt
upright
inside
,
and
shaking
with
apprehension
from
head
to
foot
.
Bless
us
!
what
an
appalling
look
old
Lobbs
gave
him
,
as
he
dragged
him
out
by
the
collar
,
and
held
him
at
arm
’
s
length
.
‘
"
Why
,
what
the
devil
do
you
want
here
?
"
said
old
Lobbs
,
in
a
fearful
voice
.
‘
Nathaniel
Pipkin
could
make
no
reply
,
so
old
Lobbs
shook
him
backwards
and
forwards
,
for
two
or
three
minutes
,
by
way
of
arranging
his
ideas
for
him
.
‘
"
What
do
you
want
here
?
"
roared
Lobbs
;
"
I
suppose
you
have
come
after
my
daughter
,
now
!
"
‘
Old
Lobbs
merely
said
this
as
a
sneer
:
for
he
did
not
believe
that
mortal
presumption
could
have
carried
Nathaniel
Pipkin
so
far
.
What
was
his
indignation
,
when
that
poor
man
replied
—
‘
"
Yes
,
I
did
,
Mr
.
Lobbs
,
I
did
come
after
your
daughter
.
I
love
her
,
Mr
.
Lobbs
.
"
‘
"
Why
,
you
snivelling
,
wry
-
faced
,
puny
villain
,
"
gasped
old
Lobbs
,
paralysed
by
the
atrocious
confession
;
"
what
do
you
mean
by
that
?
Say
this
to
my
face
!
Damme
,
I
’
ll
throttle
you
!
"
‘
It
is
by
no
means
improbable
that
old
Lobbs
would
have
carried
his
threat
into
execution
,
in
the
excess
of
his
rage
,
if
his
arm
had
not
been
stayed
by
a
very
unexpected
apparition
:
to
wit
,
the
male
cousin
,
who
,
stepping
out
of
his
closet
,
and
walking
up
to
old
Lobbs
,
said
—
