Know
him
to
be
what
,
Sir
?
’
‘
An
unprincipled
adventurer
—
a
dishonourable
character
—
a
man
who
preys
upon
society
,
and
makes
easily
-
deceived
people
his
dupes
,
Sir
;
his
absurd
,
his
foolish
,
his
wretched
dupes
,
Sir
,
’
said
the
excited
Mr
.
Pickwick
.
‘
Dear
me
,
’
said
Mr
.
Nupkins
,
turning
very
red
,
and
altering
his
whole
manner
directly
.
‘
Dear
me
,
Mr
.
—
’
‘
Pickvick
,
’
said
Sam
.
‘
Pickwick
,
’
said
the
magistrate
,
‘
dear
me
,
Mr
.
Pickwick
—
pray
take
a
seat
—
you
cannot
mean
this
?
Captain
Fitz
–
Marshall
!
’
‘
Don
’
t
call
him
a
cap
’
en
,
’
said
Sam
,
‘
nor
Fitz
–
Marshall
neither
;
he
ain
’
t
neither
one
nor
t
’
other
.
He
’
s
a
strolling
actor
,
he
is
,
and
his
name
’
s
Jingle
;
and
if
ever
there
was
a
wolf
in
a
mulberry
suit
,
that
‘
ere
Job
Trotter
’
s
him
.
’
‘
It
is
very
true
,
Sir
,
’
said
Mr
.
Pickwick
,
replying
to
the
magistrate
’
s
look
of
amazement
;
‘
my
only
business
in
this
town
,
is
to
expose
the
person
of
whom
we
now
speak
.
’
Mr
.
Pickwick
proceeded
to
pour
into
the
horror
-
stricken
ear
of
Mr
.
Nupkins
,
an
abridged
account
of
all
Mr
.
Jingle
’
s
atrocities
.
He
related
how
he
had
first
met
him
;
how
he
had
eloped
with
Miss
Wardle
;
how
he
had
cheerfully
resigned
the
lady
for
a
pecuniary
consideration
;
how
he
had
entrapped
himself
into
a
lady
’
s
boarding
-
school
at
midnight
;
and
how
he
(
Mr
.
Pickwick
)
now
felt
it
his
duty
to
expose
his
assumption
of
his
present
name
and
rank
.
As
the
narrative
proceeded
,
all
the
warm
blood
in
the
body
of
Mr
.
Nupkins
tingled
up
into
the
very
tips
of
his
ears
.
He
had
picked
up
the
captain
at
a
neighbouring
race
-
course
.
Charmed
with
his
long
list
of
aristocratic
acquaintance
,
his
extensive
travel
,
and
his
fashionable
demeanour
,
Mrs
.
Nupkins
and
Miss
Nupkins
had
exhibited
Captain
Fitz
–
Marshall
,
and
quoted
Captain
Fitz
–
Marshall
,
and
hurled
Captain
Fitz
–
Marshall
at
the
devoted
heads
of
their
select
circle
of
acquaintance
,
until
their
bosom
friends
,
Mrs
.
Porkenham
and
the
Misses
Porkenhams
,
and
Mr
.
Sidney
Porkenham
,
were
ready
to
burst
with
jealousy
and
despair
.
And
now
,
to
hear
,
after
all
,
that
he
was
a
needy
adventurer
,
a
strolling
player
,
and
if
not
a
swindler
,
something
so
very
like
it
,
that
it
was
hard
to
tell
the
difference
!
Heavens
!
what
would
the
Porkenhams
say
!
What
would
be
the
triumph
of
Mr
.
Sidney
Porkenham
when
he
found
that
his
addresses
had
been
slighted
for
such
a
rival
!
How
should
he
,
Nupkins
,
meet
the
eye
of
old
Porkenham
at
the
next
quarter
-
sessions
!
And
what
a
handle
would
it
be
for
the
opposition
magisterial
party
if
the
story
got
abroad
!
‘
But
after
all
,
’
said
Mr
.
Nupkins
,
brightening
for
a
moment
,
after
a
long
pause
;
‘
after
all
,
this
is
a
mere
statement
.
Captain
Fitz
–
Marshall
is
a
man
of
very
engaging
manners
,
and
,
I
dare
say
,
has
many
enemies
.
What
proof
have
you
of
the
truth
of
these
representations
?
