The
messenger
fortunately
found
Mr
.
Solomon
Pell
in
court
,
regaling
himself
,
business
being
rather
slack
,
with
a
cold
collation
of
an
Abernethy
biscuit
and
a
saveloy
.
The
message
was
no
sooner
whispered
in
his
ear
than
he
thrust
them
in
his
pocket
among
various
professional
documents
,
and
hurried
over
the
way
with
such
alacrity
that
he
reached
the
parlour
before
the
messenger
had
even
emancipated
himself
from
the
court
.
‘
Gentlemen
,
’
said
Mr
.
Pell
,
touching
his
hat
,
‘
my
service
to
you
all
.
I
don
’
t
say
it
to
flatter
you
,
gentlemen
,
but
there
are
not
five
other
men
in
the
world
,
that
I
’
d
have
come
out
of
that
court
for
,
to
-
day
.
’
‘
So
busy
,
eh
?
’
said
Sam
.
‘
Busy
!
’
replied
Pell
;
‘
I
’
m
completely
sewn
up
,
as
my
friend
the
late
Lord
Chancellor
many
a
time
used
to
say
to
me
,
gentlemen
,
when
he
came
out
from
hearing
appeals
in
the
House
of
Lords
.
Poor
fellow
;
he
was
very
susceptible
to
fatigue
;
he
used
to
feel
those
appeals
uncommonly
.
I
actually
thought
more
than
once
that
he
’
d
have
sunk
under
’
em
;
I
did
,
indeed
.
’
Here
Mr
.
Pell
shook
his
head
and
paused
;
on
which
,
the
elder
Mr
.
Weller
,
nudging
his
neighbour
,
as
begging
him
to
mark
the
attorney
’
s
high
connections
,
asked
whether
the
duties
in
question
produced
any
permanent
ill
effects
on
the
constitution
of
his
noble
friend
.
‘
I
don
’
t
think
he
ever
quite
recovered
them
,
’
replied
Pell
;
‘
in
fact
I
’
m
sure
he
never
did
.
"
Pell
,
"
he
used
to
say
to
me
many
a
time
,
"
how
the
blazes
you
can
stand
the
head
-
work
you
do
,
is
a
mystery
to
me
.
"
—
"
Well
,
"
I
used
to
answer
,
"
I
hardly
know
how
I
do
it
,
upon
my
life
.
"
—
"
Pell
,
"
he
’
d
add
,
sighing
,
and
looking
at
me
with
a
little
envy
—
friendly
envy
,
you
know
,
gentlemen
,
mere
friendly
envy
;
I
never
minded
it
—
"
Pell
,
you
’
re
a
wonder
;
a
wonder
.
"
Ah
!
you
’
d
have
liked
him
very
much
if
you
had
known
him
,
gentlemen
.
Bring
me
three
-
penn
’
orth
of
rum
,
my
dear
.
’
Addressing
this
latter
remark
to
the
waitress
,
in
a
tone
of
subdued
grief
,
Mr
.
Pell
sighed
,
looked
at
his
shoes
and
the
ceiling
;
and
,
the
rum
having
by
that
time
arrived
,
drank
it
up
.
‘
However
,
’
said
Pell
,
drawing
a
chair
to
the
table
,
‘
a
professional
man
has
no
right
to
think
of
his
private
friendships
when
his
legal
assistance
is
wanted
.
By
the
bye
,
gentlemen
,
since
I
saw
you
here
before
,
we
have
had
to
weep
over
a
very
melancholy
occurrence
.
’
Mr
.
