With
these
words
,
Mr
.
Pickwick
filled
and
drained
a
bumper
with
a
trembling
hand
;
and
his
eyes
moistened
as
his
friends
rose
with
one
accord
,
and
pledged
him
from
their
hearts
.
There
were
few
preparatory
arrangements
to
be
made
for
the
marriage
of
Mr
.
Snodgrass
.
As
he
had
neither
father
nor
mother
,
and
had
been
in
his
minority
a
ward
of
Mr
.
Pickwick
’
s
,
that
gentleman
was
perfectly
well
acquainted
with
his
possessions
and
prospects
.
His
account
of
both
was
quite
satisfactory
to
Wardle
—
as
almost
any
other
account
would
have
been
,
for
the
good
old
gentleman
was
overflowing
with
Hilarity
and
kindness
—
and
a
handsome
portion
having
been
bestowed
upon
Emily
,
the
marriage
was
fixed
to
take
place
on
the
fourth
day
from
that
time
—
the
suddenness
of
which
preparations
reduced
three
dressmakers
and
a
tailor
to
the
extreme
verge
of
insanity
.
Getting
post
-
horses
to
the
carriage
,
old
Wardle
started
off
,
next
day
,
to
bring
his
mother
back
to
town
.
Communicating
his
intelligence
to
the
old
lady
with
characteristic
impetuosity
,
she
instantly
fainted
away
;
but
being
promptly
revived
,
ordered
the
brocaded
silk
gown
to
be
packed
up
forthwith
,
and
proceeded
to
relate
some
circumstances
of
a
similar
nature
attending
the
marriage
of
the
eldest
daughter
of
Lady
Tollimglower
,
deceased
,
which
occupied
three
hours
in
the
recital
,
and
were
not
half
finished
at
last
.
Mrs
.
Trundle
had
to
be
informed
of
all
the
mighty
preparations
that
were
making
in
London
;
and
,
being
in
a
delicate
state
of
health
,
was
informed
thereof
through
Mr
.
Trundle
,
lest
the
news
should
be
too
much
for
her
;
but
it
was
not
too
much
for
her
,
inasmuch
as
she
at
once
wrote
off
to
Muggleton
,
to
order
a
new
cap
and
a
black
satin
gown
,
and
moreover
avowed
her
determination
of
being
present
at
the
ceremony
.
Hereupon
,
Mr
.
Trundle
called
in
the
doctor
,
and
the
doctor
said
Mrs
.
Trundle
ought
to
know
best
how
she
felt
herself
,
to
which
Mrs
.
Trundle
replied
that
she
felt
herself
quite
equal
to
it
,
and
that
she
had
made
up
her
mind
to
go
;
upon
which
the
doctor
,
who
was
a
wise
and
discreet
doctor
,
and
knew
what
was
good
for
himself
,
as
well
as
for
other
people
,
said
that
perhaps
if
Mrs
.
Trundle
stopped
at
home
,
she
might
hurt
herself
more
by
fretting
,
than
by
going
,
so
perhaps
she
had
better
go
.
And
she
did
go
;
the
doctor
with
great
attention
sending
in
half
a
dozen
of
medicine
,
to
be
drunk
upon
the
road
.
In
addition
to
these
points
of
distraction
,
Wardle
was
intrusted
with
two
small
letters
to
two
small
young
ladies
who
were
to
act
as
bridesmaids
;
upon
the
receipt
of
which
,
the
two
young
ladies
were
driven
to
despair
by
having
no
‘
things
’
ready
for
so
important
an
occasion
,
and
no
time
to
make
them
in
—
a
circumstance
which
appeared
to
afford
the
two
worthy
papas
of
the
two
small
young
ladies
rather
a
feeling
of
satisfaction
than
otherwise
.
However
,
old
frocks
were
trimmed
,
and
new
bonnets
made
,
and
the
young
ladies
looked
as
well
as
could
possibly
have
been
expected
of
them
.
And
as
they
cried
at
the
subsequent
ceremony
in
the
proper
places
,
and
trembled
at
the
right
times
,
they
acquitted
themselves
to
the
admiration
of
all
beholders
.
How
the
two
poor
relations
ever
reached
London
—
whether
they
walked
,
or
got
behind
coaches
,
or
procured
lifts
in
wagons
,
or
carried
each
other
by
turns
—
is
uncertain
;
but
there
they
were
,
before
Wardle
;
and
the
very
first
people
that
knocked
at
the
door
of
Mr
.
Pickwick
’
s
house
,
on
the
bridal
morning
,
were
the
two
poor
relations
,
all
smiles
and
shirt
collar
.
They
were
welcomed
heartily
though
,
for
riches
or
poverty
had
no
influence
on
Mr
.
Pickwick
;
the
new
servants
were
all
alacrity
and
readiness
;
Sam
was
in
a
most
unrivalled
state
of
high
spirits
and
excitement
;
Mary
was
glowing
with
beauty
and
smart
ribands
.
The
bridegroom
,
who
had
been
staying
at
the
house
for
two
or
three
days
previous
,
sallied
forth
gallantly
to
Dulwich
Church
to
meet
the
bride
,
attended
by
Mr
.
Pickwick
,
Ben
Allen
,
Bob
Sawyer
,
and
Mr
.
Tupman
;
with
Sam
Weller
outside
,
having
at
his
button
-
hole
a
white
favour
,
the
gift
of
his
lady
-
love
,
and
clad
in
a
new
and
gorgeous
suit
of
livery
invented
for
the
occasion
.
They
were
met
by
the
Wardles
,
and
the
Winkles
,
and
the
bride
and
bridesmaids
,
and
the
Trundles
;
and
the
ceremony
having
been
performed
,
the
coaches
rattled
back
to
Mr
.
Pickwick
’
s
to
breakfast
,
where
little
Mr
.
Perker
already
awaited
them
.
Here
,
all
the
light
clouds
of
the
more
solemn
part
of
the
proceedings
passed
away
;
every
face
shone
forth
joyously
;
and
nothing
was
to
be
heard
but
congratulations
and
commendations
.
Everything
was
so
beautiful
!
The
lawn
in
front
,
the
garden
behind
,
the
miniature
conservatory
,
the
dining
-
room
,
the
drawing
-
room
,
the
bedrooms
,
the
smoking
-
room
,
and
,
above
all
,
the
study
,
with
its
pictures
and
easy
-
chairs
,
and
odd
cabinets
,
and
queer
tables
,
and
books
out
of
number
,
with
a
large
cheerful
window
opening
upon
a
pleasant
lawn
and
commanding
a
pretty
landscape
,
dotted
here
and
there
with
little
houses
almost
hidden
by
the
trees
;
and
then
the
curtains
,
and
the
carpets
,
and
the
chairs
,
and
the
sofas
!
Everything
was
so
beautiful
,
so
compact
,
so
neat
,
and
in
such
exquisite
taste
,
said
everybody
,
that
there
really
was
no
deciding
what
to
admire
most
.
