We
think
we
have
hinted
elsewhere
,
that
Mr
.
Benjamin
Allen
had
a
way
of
becoming
sentimental
after
brandy
.
The
case
is
not
a
peculiar
one
,
as
we
ourself
can
testify
,
having
,
on
a
few
occasions
,
had
to
deal
with
patients
who
have
been
afflicted
in
a
similar
manner
.
At
this
precise
period
of
his
existence
,
Mr
.
Benjamin
Allen
had
perhaps
a
greater
predisposition
to
maudlinism
than
he
had
ever
known
before
;
the
cause
of
which
malady
was
briefly
this
.
He
had
been
staying
nearly
three
weeks
with
Mr
.
Bob
Sawyer
;
Mr
.
Bob
Sawyer
was
not
remarkable
for
temperance
,
nor
was
Mr
.
Benjamin
Allen
for
the
ownership
of
a
very
strong
head
;
the
consequence
was
that
,
during
the
whole
space
of
time
just
mentioned
,
Mr
.
Benjamin
Allen
had
been
wavering
between
intoxication
partial
,
and
intoxication
complete
.
‘
My
dear
friend
,
’
said
Mr
.
Ben
Allen
,
taking
advantage
of
Mr
.
Bob
Sawyer
’
s
temporary
absence
behind
the
counter
,
whither
he
had
retired
to
dispense
some
of
the
second
-
hand
leeches
,
previously
referred
to
;
‘
my
dear
friend
,
I
am
very
miserable
.
’
Mr
.
Winkle
professed
his
heartfelt
regret
to
hear
it
,
and
begged
to
know
whether
he
could
do
anything
to
alleviate
the
sorrows
of
the
suffering
student
.
‘
Nothing
,
my
dear
boy
,
nothing
,
’
said
Ben
.
‘
You
recollect
Arabella
,
Winkle
?
My
sister
Arabella
—
a
little
girl
,
Winkle
,
with
black
eyes
—
when
we
were
down
at
Wardle
’
s
?
I
don
’
t
know
whether
you
happened
to
notice
her
—
a
nice
little
girl
,
Winkle
.
Perhaps
my
features
may
recall
her
countenance
to
your
recollection
?
’
Mr
.
Winkle
required
nothing
to
recall
the
charming
Arabella
to
his
mind
;
and
it
was
rather
fortunate
he
did
not
,
for
the
features
of
her
brother
Benjamin
would
unquestionably
have
proved
but
an
indifferent
refresher
to
his
memory
.
He
answered
,
with
as
much
calmness
as
he
could
assume
,
that
he
perfectly
remembered
the
young
lady
referred
to
,
and
sincerely
trusted
she
was
in
good
health
.
‘
Our
friend
Bob
is
a
delightful
fellow
,
Winkle
,
’
was
the
only
reply
of
Mr
.
Ben
Allen
.
‘
Very
,
’
said
Mr
.
Winkle
,
not
much
relishing
this
close
connection
of
the
two
names
.
‘
I
designed
’
em
for
each
other
;
they
were
made
for
each
other
,
sent
into
the
world
for
each
other
,
born
for
each
other
,
Winkle
,
’
said
Mr
.
Ben
Allen
,
setting
down
his
glass
with
emphasis
.
‘
There
’
s
a
special
destiny
in
the
matter
,
my
dear
sir
;
there
’
s
only
five
years
’
difference
between
’
em
,
and
both
their
birthdays
are
in
August
.
