The
referees
at
once
gave
it
as
their
decided
opinion
that
the
business
could
not
be
legally
proceeded
with
,
under
the
letter
W
.
,
and
in
all
probability
it
would
have
stood
over
for
one
day
at
least
,
had
it
not
been
for
the
prompt
,
though
,
at
first
sight
,
undutiful
behaviour
of
Sam
,
who
,
seizing
his
father
by
the
skirt
of
the
coat
,
dragged
him
to
the
counter
,
and
pinned
him
there
,
until
he
had
affixed
his
signature
to
a
couple
of
instruments
;
which
,
from
Mr
.
Weller
’
s
habit
of
printing
,
was
a
work
of
so
much
labour
and
time
,
that
the
officiating
clerk
peeled
and
ate
three
Ribstone
pippins
while
it
was
performing
.
As
the
elder
Mr
.
Weller
insisted
on
selling
out
his
portion
forthwith
,
they
proceeded
from
the
bank
to
the
gate
of
the
Stock
Exchange
,
to
which
Wilkins
Flasher
,
Esquire
,
after
a
short
absence
,
returned
with
a
cheque
on
Smith
,
Payne
,
&
Smith
,
for
five
hundred
and
thirty
pounds
;
that
being
the
money
to
which
Mr
.
Weller
,
at
the
market
price
of
the
day
,
was
entitled
,
in
consideration
of
the
balance
of
the
second
Mrs
.
Weller
’
s
funded
savings
.
Sam
’
s
two
hundred
pounds
stood
transferred
to
his
name
,
and
Wilkins
Flasher
,
Esquire
,
having
been
paid
his
commission
,
dropped
the
money
carelessly
into
his
coat
pocket
,
and
lounged
back
to
his
office
.
Mr
.
Weller
was
at
first
obstinately
determined
on
cashing
the
cheque
in
nothing
but
sovereigns
;
but
it
being
represented
by
the
umpires
that
by
so
doing
he
must
incur
the
expense
of
a
small
sack
to
carry
them
home
in
,
he
consented
to
receive
the
amount
in
five
-
pound
notes
.
‘
My
son
,
’
said
Mr
.
Weller
,
as
they
came
out
of
the
banking
-
house
—
‘
my
son
and
me
has
a
wery
partickler
engagement
this
arternoon
,
and
I
should
like
to
have
this
here
bis
’
ness
settled
out
of
hand
,
so
let
’
s
jest
go
straight
avay
someveres
,
vere
ve
can
hordit
the
accounts
.
’
A
quiet
room
was
soon
found
,
and
the
accounts
were
produced
and
audited
.
Mr
.
Pell
’
s
bill
was
taxed
by
Sam
,
and
some
charges
were
disallowed
by
the
umpires
;
but
,
notwithstanding
Mr
Pell
’
s
declaration
,
accompanied
with
many
solemn
asseverations
that
they
were
really
too
hard
upon
him
,
it
was
by
very
many
degrees
the
best
professional
job
he
had
ever
had
,
and
one
on
which
he
boarded
,
lodged
,
and
washed
,
for
six
months
afterwards
.
The
umpires
having
partaken
of
a
dram
,
shook
hands
and
departed
,
as
they
had
to
drive
out
of
town
that
night
.
Mr
.
Solomon
Pell
,
finding
that
nothing
more
was
going
forward
,
either
in
the
eating
or
drinking
way
,
took
a
friendly
leave
,
and
Sam
and
his
father
were
left
alone
.
‘
There
!
’
said
Mr
.
Weller
,
thrusting
his
pocket
-
book
in
his
side
pocket
.
‘
Vith
the
bills
for
the
lease
,
and
that
,
there

s
eleven
hundred
and
eighty
pound
here
.
Now
,
Samivel
,
my
boy
,
turn
the
horses
’
heads
to
the
George
and
Wulter
!
’
Mr
.
Pickwick
was
sitting
alone
,
musing
over
many
things
,
and
thinking
among
other
considerations
how
he
could
best
provide
for
the
young
couple
whose
present
unsettled
condition
was
matter
of
constant
regret
and
anxiety
to
him
,
when
Mary
stepped
lightly
into
the
room
,
and
,
advancing
to
the
table
,
said
,
rather
hastily
—
