‘
Mr
.
Pickwick
,
I
thank
you
most
heartily
for
all
your
kindness
to
my
son
,
’
said
old
Mr
.
Winkle
,
in
a
bluff
,
straightforward
way
.
‘
I
am
a
hasty
fellow
,
and
when
I
saw
you
last
,
I
was
vexed
and
taken
by
surprise
.
I
have
judged
for
myself
now
,
and
am
more
than
satisfied
.
Shall
I
make
any
more
apologies
,
Mr
.
Pickwick
?
’
‘
Not
one
,
’
replied
that
gentleman
.
‘
You
have
done
the
only
thing
wanting
to
complete
my
happiness
’
Hereupon
there
was
another
shaking
of
hands
for
five
minutes
longer
,
accompanied
by
a
great
number
of
complimentary
speeches
,
which
,
besides
being
complimentary
,
had
the
additional
and
very
novel
recommendation
of
being
sincere
.
Sam
had
dutifully
seen
his
father
to
the
Belle
Sauvage
,
when
,
on
returning
,
he
encountered
the
fat
boy
in
the
court
,
who
had
been
charged
with
the
delivery
of
a
note
from
Emily
Wardle
.
‘
I
say
,
’
said
Joe
,
who
was
unusually
loquacious
,
‘
what
a
pretty
girl
Mary
is
,
isn
’
t
she
?
I
am
SO
fond
of
her
,
I
am
!
’
Mr
.
Weller
made
no
verbal
remark
in
reply
;
but
eyeing
the
fat
boy
for
a
moment
,
quite
transfixed
at
his
presumption
,
led
him
by
the
collar
to
the
corner
,
and
dismissed
him
with
a
harmless
but
ceremonious
kick
.
After
which
,
he
walked
home
,
whistling
.
For
a
whole
week
after
the
happy
arrival
of
Mr
.
Winkle
from
Birmingham
,
Mr
.
Pickwick
and
Sam
Weller
were
from
home
all
day
long
,
only
returning
just
in
time
for
dinner
,
and
then
wearing
an
air
of
mystery
and
importance
quite
foreign
to
their
natures
.
It
was
evident
that
very
grave
and
eventful
proceedings
were
on
foot
;
but
various
surmises
were
afloat
,
respecting
their
precise
character
.
Some
(
among
whom
was
Mr
.
Tupman
)
were
disposed
to
think
that
Mr
.
Pickwick
contemplated
a
matrimonial
alliance
;
but
this
idea
the
ladies
most
strenuously
repudiated
.
Others
rather
inclined
to
the
belief
that
he
had
projected
some
distant
tour
,
and
was
at
present
occupied
in
effecting
the
preliminary
arrangements
;
but
this
again
was
stoutly
denied
by
Sam
himself
,
who
had
unequivocally
stated
,
when
cross
-
examined
by
Mary
,
that
no
new
journeys
were
to
be
undertaken
.
At
length
,
when
the
brains
of
the
whole
party
had
been
racked
for
six
long
days
,
by
unavailing
speculation
,
it
was
unanimously
resolved
that
Mr
.
Pickwick
should
be
called
upon
to
explain
his
conduct
,
and
to
state
distinctly
why
he
had
thus
absented
himself
from
the
society
of
his
admiring
friends
.
With
this
view
,
Mr
.
Wardle
invited
the
full
circle
to
dinner
at
the
Adelphi
;
and
the
decanters
having
been
thrice
sent
round
,
opened
the
business
.
‘
We
are
all
anxious
to
know
,
’
said
the
old
gentleman
,
‘
what
we
have
done
to
offend
you
,
and
to
induce
you
to
desert
us
and
devote
yourself
to
these
solitary
walks
.
