‘
Oh
,
wery
good
,
’
said
Sam
;
‘
then
I
’
ll
amend
the
obserwation
and
call
’
em
the
dear
creeturs
,
if
Blazes
vill
allow
me
.
’
Some
doubt
appeared
to
exist
in
the
mind
of
the
gentleman
in
the
green
-
foil
smalls
,
whether
the
chairman
could
be
legally
appealed
to
,
as
‘
Blazes
,
’
but
as
the
company
seemed
more
disposed
to
stand
upon
their
own
rights
than
his
,
the
question
was
not
raised
.
The
man
with
the
cocked
hat
breathed
short
,
and
looked
long
at
Sam
,
but
apparently
thought
it
as
well
to
say
nothing
,
in
case
he
should
get
the
worst
of
it
.
After
a
short
silence
,
a
gentleman
in
an
embroidered
coat
reaching
down
to
his
heels
,
and
a
waistcoat
of
the
same
which
kept
one
half
of
his
legs
warm
,
stirred
his
gin
-
and
-
water
with
great
energy
,
and
putting
himself
upon
his
feet
,
all
at
once
by
a
violent
effort
,
said
he
was
desirous
of
offering
a
few
remarks
to
the
company
,
whereupon
the
person
in
the
cocked
hat
had
no
doubt
that
the
company
would
be
very
happy
to
hear
any
remarks
that
the
man
in
the
long
coat
might
wish
to
offer
.
‘
I
feel
a
great
delicacy
,
gentlemen
,
in
coming
for
’
ard
,
’
said
the
man
in
the
long
coat
,
‘
having
the
misforchune
to
be
a
coachman
,
and
being
only
admitted
as
a
honorary
member
of
these
agreeable
swarrys
,
but
I
do
feel
myself
bound
,
gentlemen
—
drove
into
a
corner
,
if
I
may
use
the
expression
—
to
make
known
an
afflicting
circumstance
which
has
come
to
my
knowledge
;
which
has
happened
I
may
say
within
the
soap
of
my
everyday
contemplation
.
Gentlemen
,
our
friend
Mr
.
Whiffers
(
everybody
looked
at
the
individual
in
orange
)
,
our
friend
Mr
.
Whiffers
has
resigned
.
’
Universal
astonishment
fell
upon
the
hearers
.
Each
gentleman
looked
in
his
neighbour
’
s
face
,
and
then
transferred
his
glance
to
the
upstanding
coachman
.
‘
You
may
well
be
sapparised
,
gentlemen
,
’
said
the
coachman
.
‘
I
will
not
wenchure
to
state
the
reasons
of
this
irrepairabel
loss
to
the
service
,
but
I
will
beg
Mr
.
Whiffers
to
state
them
himself
,
for
the
improvement
and
imitation
of
his
admiring
friends
.
’
The
suggestion
being
loudly
approved
of
,
Mr
.
Whiffers
explained
.
He
said
he
certainly
could
have
wished
to
have
continued
to
hold
the
appointment
he
had
just
resigned
.
The
uniform
was
extremely
rich
and
expensive
,
the
females
of
the
family
was
most
agreeable
,
and
the
duties
of
the
situation
was
not
,
he
was
bound
to
say
,
too
heavy
;
the
principal
service
that
was
required
of
him
,
being
,
that
he
should
look
out
of
the
hall
window
as
much
as
possible
,
in
company
with
another
gentleman
,
who
had
also
resigned
.
He
could
have
wished
to
have
spared
that
company
the
painful
and
disgusting
detail
on
which
he
was
about
to
enter
,
but
as
the
explanation
had
been
demanded
of
him
,
he
had
no
alternative
but
to
state
,
boldly
and
distinctly
,
that
he
had
been
required
to
eat
cold
meat
.
It
is
impossible
to
conceive
the
disgust
which
this
avowal
awakened
in
the
bosoms
of
the
hearers
.
Loud
cries
of
‘
Shame
,
’
mingled
with
groans
and
hisses
,
prevailed
for
a
quarter
of
an
hour
.
Mr
.
Whiffers
then
added
that
he
feared
a
portion
of
this
outrage
might
be
traced
to
his
own
forbearing
and
accommodating
disposition
.
He
had
a
distinct
recollection
of
having
once
consented
to
eat
salt
butter
,
and
he
had
,
moreover
,
on
an
occasion
of
sudden
sickness
in
the
house
,
so
far
forgotten
himself
as
to
carry
a
coal
-
scuttle
up
to
the
second
floor
.
He
trusted
he
had
not
lowered
himself
in
the
good
opinion
of
his
friends
by
this
frank
confession
of
his
faults
;
and
he
hoped
the
promptness
with
which
he
had
resented
the
last
unmanly
outrage
on
his
feelings
,
to
which
he
had
referred
,
would
reinstate
him
in
their
good
opinion
,
if
he
had
.
Mr
.
Whiffers
’
s
address
was
responded
to
,
with
a
shout
of
admiration
,
and
the
health
of
the
interesting
martyr
was
drunk
in
a
most
enthusiastic
manner
;
for
this
,
the
martyr
returned
thanks
,
and
proposed
their
visitor
,
Mr
.
Weller
—
a
gentleman
whom
he
had
not
the
pleasure
of
an
intimate
acquaintance
with
,
but
who
was
the
friend
of
Mr
.
