Who
should
present
himself
but
that
very
Kit
who
had
been
the
theme
of
Mr
Chuckster
’
s
wrath
!
Never
did
man
pluck
up
his
courage
so
quickly
,
or
look
so
fierce
,
as
Mr
Chuckster
when
he
found
it
was
he
.
Mr
Swiveller
stared
at
him
for
a
moment
,
and
then
leaping
from
his
stool
,
and
drawing
out
the
poker
from
its
place
of
concealment
,
performed
the
broad
-
sword
exercise
with
all
the
cuts
and
guards
complete
,
in
a
species
of
frenzy
.
‘
Is
the
gentleman
at
home
?
’
said
Kit
,
rather
astonished
by
this
uncommon
reception
.
Before
Mr
Swiveller
could
make
any
reply
,
Mr
Chuckster
took
occasion
to
enter
his
indignant
protest
against
this
form
of
inquiry
;
which
he
held
to
be
of
a
disrespectful
and
snobbish
tendency
,
inasmuch
as
the
inquirer
,
seeing
two
gentlemen
then
and
there
present
,
should
have
spoken
of
the
other
gentleman
;
or
rather
(
for
it
was
not
impossible
that
the
object
of
his
search
might
be
of
inferior
quality
)
should
have
mentioned
his
name
,
leaving
it
to
his
hearers
to
determine
his
degree
as
they
thought
proper
.
Mr
Chuckster
likewise
remarked
,
that
he
had
some
reason
to
believe
this
form
of
address
was
personal
to
himself
,
and
that
he
was
not
a
man
to
be
trifled
with
—
as
certain
snobs
(
whom
he
did
not
more
particularly
mention
or
describe
)
might
find
to
their
cost
.
‘
I
mean
the
gentleman
up
-
stairs
,
’
said
Kit
,
turning
to
Richard
Swiveller
.
‘
Is
he
at
home
?
’
‘
Why
?
’
rejoined
Dick
.
‘
Because
if
he
is
,
I
have
a
letter
for
him
.
’
‘
From
whom
?
’
said
Dick
.
‘
From
Mr
Garland
.
’
‘
Oh
!
’
said
Dick
,
with
extreme
politeness
.
‘
Then
you
may
hand
it
over
,
Sir
.
And
if
you
’
re
to
wait
for
an
answer
,
Sir
,
you
may
wait
in
the
passage
,
Sir
,
which
is
an
airy
and
well
-
ventilated
apartment
,
sir
.
