‘
And
allow
me
to
say
,
Sir
,
’
said
the
irascible
Doctor
Payne
,
‘
that
if
I
had
been
Tappleton
,
or
if
I
had
been
Slammer
,
I
would
have
pulled
your
nose
,
Sir
,
and
the
nose
of
every
man
in
this
company
.
I
would
,
sir
—
every
man
.
Payne
is
my
name
,
sir
—
Doctor
Payne
of
the
43rd
.
Good
-
evening
,
Sir
.
’
Having
concluded
this
speech
,
and
uttered
the
last
three
words
in
a
loud
key
,
he
stalked
majestically
after
his
friend
,
closely
followed
by
Doctor
Slammer
,
who
said
nothing
,
but
contented
himself
by
withering
the
company
with
a
look
.
Rising
rage
and
extreme
bewilderment
had
swelled
the
noble
breast
of
Mr
.
Pickwick
,
almost
to
the
bursting
of
his
waistcoat
,
during
the
delivery
of
the
above
defiance
.
He
stood
transfixed
to
the
spot
,
gazing
on
vacancy
.
The
closing
of
the
door
recalled
him
to
himself
.
He
rushed
forward
with
fury
in
his
looks
,
and
fire
in
his
eye
.
His
hand
was
upon
the
lock
of
the
door
;
in
another
instant
it
would
have
been
on
the
throat
of
Doctor
Payne
of
the
43rd
,
had
not
Mr
.
Snodgrass
seized
his
revered
leader
by
the
coat
tail
,
and
dragged
him
backwards
.
‘
Restrain
him
,
’
cried
Mr
.
Snodgrass
;
‘
Winkle
,
Tupman
—
he
must
not
peril
his
distinguished
life
in
such
a
cause
as
this
.
’
‘
Let
me
go
,
’
said
Mr
.
Pickwick
.
‘
Hold
him
tight
,
’
shouted
Mr
.
Snodgrass
;
and
by
the
united
efforts
of
the
whole
company
,
Mr
.
Pickwick
was
forced
into
an
arm
-
chair
.
‘
Leave
him
alone
,
’
said
the
green
-
coated
stranger
;
‘
brandy
–
and
-
water
—
jolly
old
gentleman
—
lots
of
pluck
—
swallow
this
—
ah
!
—
capital
stuff
.
’
Having
previously
tested
the
virtues
of
a
bumper
,
which
had
been
mixed
by
the
dismal
man
,
the
stranger
applied
the
glass
to
Mr
.
Pickwick
’
s
mouth
;
and
the
remainder
of
its
contents
rapidly
disappeared
There
was
a
short
pause
;
the
brandy
-
and
-
water
had
done
its
work
;
the
amiable
countenance
of
Mr
.
Pickwick
was
fast
recovering
its
customary
expression
.
‘
They
are
not
worth
your
notice
,
’
said
the
dismal
man
.
‘
You
are
right
,
sir
,
’
replied
Mr
.
Pickwick
,
‘
they
are
not
.
I
am
ashamed
to
have
been
betrayed
into
this
warmth
of
feeling
.
Draw
your
chair
up
to
the
table
,
Sir
.
’
The
dismal
man
readily
complied
;
a
circle
was
again
formed
round
the
table
,
and
harmony
once
more
prevailed
.
Some
lingering
irritability
appeared
to
find
a
resting
-
place
in
Mr
.
Winkle
’
s
bosom
,
occasioned
possibly
by
the
temporary
abstraction
of
his
coat
—
though
it
is
scarcely
reasonable
to
suppose
that
so
slight
a
circumstance
can
have
excited
even
a
passing
feeling
of
anger
in
a
Pickwickian
’
s
breast
.
With
this
exception
,
their
good
-
humour
was
completely
restored
;
and
the
evening
concluded
with
the
conviviality
with
which
it
had
begun
.
Many
authors
entertain
,
not
only
a
foolish
,
but
a
really
dishonest
objection
to
acknowledge
the
sources
whence
they
derive
much
valuable
information
.
We
have
no
such
feeling
.
We
are
merely
endeavouring
to
discharge
,
in
an
upright
manner
,
the
responsible
duties
of
our
editorial
functions
;
and
whatever
ambition
we
might
have
felt
under
other
circumstances
to
lay
claim
to
the
authorship
of
these
adventures
,
a
regard
for
truth
forbids
us
to
do
more
than
claim
the
merit
of
their
judicious
arrangement
and
impartial
narration
.
The
Pickwick
papers
are
our
New
River
Head
;
and
we
may
be
compared
to
the
New
River
Company
.
The
labours
of
others
have
raised
for
us
an
immense
reservoir
of
important
facts
.
We
merely
lay
them
on
,
and
communicate
them
,
in
a
clear
and
gentle
stream
,
through
the
medium
of
these
pages
,
to
a
world
thirsting
for
Pickwickian
knowledge
.
