‘
I
never
could
spin
out
a
story
,
’
said
Wardle
abruptly
.
‘
It
must
come
out
,
sooner
or
later
,
and
it
’
ll
save
us
all
a
great
deal
of
time
if
it
comes
at
once
.
The
long
and
the
short
of
it
is
,
then
,
that
Bella
at
last
mustered
up
courage
to
tell
me
that
Emily
was
very
unhappy
;
that
she
and
your
young
friend
Snodgrass
had
been
in
constant
correspondence
and
communication
ever
since
last
Christmas
;
that
she
had
very
dutifully
made
up
her
mind
to
run
away
with
him
,
in
laudable
imitation
of
her
old
friend
and
school
-
fellow
;
but
that
having
some
compunctions
of
conscience
on
the
subject
,
inasmuch
as
I
had
always
been
rather
kindly
disposed
to
both
of
them
,
they
had
thought
it
better
in
the
first
instance
to
pay
me
the
compliment
of
asking
whether
I
would
have
any
objection
to
their
being
married
in
the
usual
matter
-
of
-
fact
manner
.
There
now
,
Mr
.
Pickwick
,
if
you
can
make
it
convenient
to
reduce
your
eyes
to
their
usual
size
again
,
and
to
let
me
hear
what
you
think
we
ought
to
do
,
I
shall
feel
rather
obliged
to
you
!
’
The
testy
manner
in
which
the
hearty
old
gentleman
uttered
this
last
sentence
was
not
wholly
unwarranted
;
for
Mr
.
Pickwick
’
s
face
had
settled
down
into
an
expression
of
blank
amazement
and
perplexity
,
quite
curious
to
behold
.
‘
Snodgrass
!
-
since
last
Christmas
!
’
were
the
first
broken
words
that
issued
from
the
lips
of
the
confounded
gentleman
.
‘
Since
last
Christmas
,
’
replied
Wardle
;
‘
that
’
s
plain
enough
,
and
very
bad
spectacles
we
must
have
worn
,
not
to
have
discovered
it
before
.
’
‘
I
don
’
t
understand
it
,
’
said
Mr
.
Pickwick
,
ruminating
;
‘
I
cannot
really
understand
it
.
’
‘
It
’
s
easy
enough
to
understand
it
,
’
replied
the
choleric
old
gentleman
.
‘
If
you
had
been
a
younger
man
,
you
would
have
been
in
the
secret
long
ago
;
and
besides
,
’
added
Wardle
,
after
a
moment
’
s
hesitation
,
‘
the
truth
is
,
that
,
knowing
nothing
of
this
matter
,
I
have
rather
pressed
Emily
for
four
or
five
months
past
,
to
receive
favourably
(
if
she
could
;
I
would
never
attempt
to
force
a
girl
’
s
inclinations
)
the
addresses
of
a
young
gentleman
down
in
our
neighbourhood
.
I
have
no
doubt
that
,
girl
-
like
,
to
enhance
her
own
value
and
increase
the
ardour
of
Mr
.
Snodgrass
,
she
has
represented
this
matter
in
very
glowing
colours
,
and
that
they
have
both
arrived
at
the
conclusion
that
they
are
a
terribly
-
persecuted
pair
of
unfortunates
,
and
have
no
resource
but
clandestine
matrimony
,
or
charcoal
.
Now
the
question
is
,
what
’
s
to
be
done
?
’
‘
What
have
YOU
done
?
’
inquired
Mr
.
Pickwick
.
‘
I
!
’
