Mr
.
Mallard
departed
to
execute
his
commission
;
and
Serjeant
Snubbin
relapsed
into
abstraction
until
Mr
.
Phunky
himself
was
introduced
.
Although
an
infant
barrister
,
he
was
a
full
-
grown
man
.
He
had
a
very
nervous
manner
,
and
a
painful
hesitation
in
his
speech
;
it
did
not
appear
to
be
a
natural
defect
,
but
seemed
rather
the
result
of
timidity
,
arising
from
the
consciousness
of
being
‘
kept
down
’
by
want
of
means
,
or
interest
,
or
connection
,
or
impudence
,
as
the
case
might
be
.
He
was
overawed
by
the
Serjeant
,
and
profoundly
courteous
to
the
attorney
.
‘
I
have
not
had
the
pleasure
of
seeing
you
before
,
Mr
.
Phunky
,
’
said
Serjeant
Snubbin
,
with
haughty
condescension
.
Mr
.
Phunky
bowed
.
He
HAD
had
the
pleasure
of
seeing
the
Serjeant
,
and
of
envying
him
too
,
with
all
a
poor
man
’
s
envy
,
for
eight
years
and
a
quarter
.
‘
You
are
with
me
in
this
case
,
I
understand
?
’
said
the
Serjeant
.
If
Mr
.
Phunky
had
been
a
rich
man
,
he
would
have
instantly
sent
for
his
clerk
to
remind
him
;
if
he
had
been
a
wise
one
,
he
would
have
applied
his
forefinger
to
his
forehead
,
and
endeavoured
to
recollect
,
whether
,
in
the
multiplicity
of
his
engagements
,
he
had
undertaken
this
one
or
not
;
but
as
he
was
neither
rich
nor
wise
(
in
this
sense
,
at
all
events
)
he
turned
red
,
and
bowed
.
‘
Have
you
read
the
papers
,
Mr
.
Phunky
?
’
inquired
the
Serjeant
.
Here
again
,
Mr
.
Phunky
should
have
professed
to
have
forgotten
all
about
the
merits
of
the
case
;
but
as
he
had
read
such
papers
as
had
been
laid
before
him
in
the
course
of
the
action
,
and
had
thought
of
nothing
else
,
waking
or
sleeping
,
throughout
the
two
months
during
which
he
had
been
retained
as
Mr
.
Serjeant
Snubbin
’
s
junior
,
he
turned
a
deeper
red
and
bowed
again
.
