‘
Hold
hard
there
,
’
interposed
the
mottled
-
faced
gentleman
,
with
sudden
energy
;
‘
your
eyes
on
me
,
gen
’
l
’
m
’
n
!
’
Saying
this
,
the
mottled
-
faced
gentleman
rose
,
as
did
the
other
gentlemen
.
The
mottled
-
faced
gentleman
reviewed
the
company
,
and
slowly
lifted
his
hand
,
upon
which
every
man
(
including
him
of
the
mottled
countenance
)
drew
a
long
breath
,
and
lifted
his
tumbler
to
his
lips
.
In
one
instant
,
the
mottled
-
faced
gentleman
depressed
his
hand
again
,
and
every
glass
was
set
down
empty
.
It
is
impossible
to
describe
the
thrilling
effect
produced
by
this
striking
ceremony
.
At
once
dignified
,
solemn
,
and
impressive
,
it
combined
every
element
of
grandeur
.
‘
Well
,
gentlemen
,
’
said
Mr
.
Pell
,
‘
all
I
can
say
is
,
that
such
marks
of
confidence
must
be
very
gratifying
to
a
professional
man
.
I
don
’
t
wish
to
say
anything
that
might
appear
egotistical
,
gentlemen
,
but
I
’
m
very
glad
,
for
your
own
sakes
,
that
you
came
to
me
;
that
’
s
all
.
If
you
had
gone
to
any
low
member
of
the
profession
,
it
’
s
my
firm
conviction
,
and
I
assure
you
of
it
as
a
fact
,
that
you
would
have
found
yourselves
in
Queer
Street
before
this
.
I
could
have
wished
my
noble
friend
had
been
alive
to
have
seen
my
management
of
this
case
.
I
don
’
t
say
it
out
of
pride
,
but
I
think
—
However
,
gentlemen
,
I
won
’
t
trouble
you
with
that
.
I
’
m
generally
to
be
found
here
,
gentlemen
,
but
if
I
’
m
not
here
,
or
over
the
way
,
that
’
s
my
address
.
You
’
ll
find
my
terms
very
cheap
and
reasonable
,
and
no
man
attends
more
to
his
clients
than
I
do
,
and
I
hope
I
know
a
little
of
my
profession
besides
.
If
you
have
any
opportunity
of
recommending
me
to
any
of
your
friends
,
gentlemen
,
I
shall
be
very
much
obliged
to
you
,
and
so
will
they
too
,
when
they
come
to
know
me
.
Your
healths
,
gentlemen
.
’
With
this
expression
of
his
feelings
,
Mr
.
Solomon
Pell
laid
three
small
written
cards
before
Mr
.
Weller
’
s
friends
,
and
,
looking
at
the
clock
again
,
feared
it
was
time
to
be
walking
.
Upon
this
hint
Mr
.
Weller
settled
the
bill
,
and
,
issuing
forth
,
the
executor
,
legatee
,
attorney
,
and
umpires
,
directed
their
steps
towards
the
city
.
The
office
of
Wilkins
Flasher
,
Esquire
,
of
the
Stock
Exchange
,
was
in
a
first
floor
up
a
court
behind
the
Bank
of
England
;
the
house
of
Wilkins
Flasher
,
Esquire
,
was
at
Brixton
,
Surrey
;
the
horse
and
stanhope
of
Wilkins
Flasher
,
Esquire
,
were
at
an
adjacent
livery
stable
;
the
groom
of
Wilkins
Flasher
,
Esquire
,
was
on
his
way
to
the
West
End
to
deliver
some
game
;
the
clerk
of
Wilkins
Flasher
,
Esquire
,
had
gone
to
his
dinner
;
and
so
Wilkins
Flasher
,
Esquire
,
himself
,
cried
,
‘
Come
in
,
’
when
Mr
.
Pell
and
his
companions
knocked
at
the
counting
-
house
door
.
‘
Good
-
morning
,
Sir
,
’
said
Pell
,
bowing
obsequiously
.
‘
We
want
to
make
a
little
transfer
,
if
you
please
.
’
‘
Oh
,
just
come
in
,
will
you
?
’
said
Mr
.
Flasher
.
‘
Sit
down
a
minute
;
I
’
ll
attend
to
you
directly
.
’
‘
Thank
you
,
Sir
,
’
said
Pell
,
‘
there
’
s
no
hurry
.
Take
a
chair
,
Mr
.
Weller
.
