Mr
Brass
and
his
lovely
companion
appeared
to
have
been
holding
a
consultation
over
their
temperate
breakfast
,
upon
some
matter
of
great
interest
and
importance
.
On
the
occasion
of
such
conferences
,
they
generally
appeared
in
the
office
some
half
an
hour
after
their
usual
time
,
and
in
a
very
smiling
state
,
as
though
their
late
plots
and
designs
had
tranquillised
their
minds
and
shed
a
light
upon
their
toilsome
way
.
In
the
present
instance
,
they
seemed
particularly
gay
;
Miss
Sally
’
s
aspect
being
of
a
most
oily
kind
,
and
Mr
Brass
rubbing
his
hands
in
an
exceedingly
jocose
and
light
-
hearted
manner
.
’
Well
,
Mr
Richard
,
’
said
Brass
.
‘
How
are
we
this
morning
?
Are
we
pretty
fresh
and
cheerful
sir
—
eh
,
Mr
Richard
?
’
‘
Pretty
well
,
sir
,
’
replied
Dick
.
‘
That
’
s
well
,
’
said
Brass
.
‘
Ha
ha
!
We
should
be
as
gay
as
larks
,
Mr
Richard
—
why
not
?
It
’
s
a
pleasant
world
we
live
in
sir
,
a
very
pleasant
world
.
There
are
bad
people
in
it
,
Mr
Richard
,
but
if
there
were
no
bad
people
,
there
would
be
no
good
lawyers
.
Ha
ha
!
Any
letters
by
the
post
this
morning
,
Mr
Richard
?
’
Mr
Swiveller
answered
in
the
negative
.
‘
Ha
!
’
said
Brass
,
‘
no
matter
.
If
there
’
s
little
business
to
-
day
,
there
’
ll
be
more
to
-
morrow
.
A
contented
spirit
,
Mr
Richard
,
is
the
sweetness
of
existence
.
Anybody
been
here
,
sir
?
’
‘
Only
my
friend
’
—
replied
Dick
.
‘
May
we
ne
’
er
want
a
—
’
‘
Friend
,
’
Brass
chimed
in
quickly
,
‘
or
a
bottle
to
give
him
.
Ha
ha
!
That
’
s
the
way
the
song
runs
,
isn
’
t
it
?
A
very
good
song
,
Mr
Richard
,
very
good
.
I
like
the
sentiment
of
it
.
Ha
ha
!
Your
friend
’
s
the
young
man
from
Witherden
’
s
office
I
think
—
yes
—
May
we
ne
’
er
want
a
—
Nobody
else
at
all
,
been
,
Mr
Richard
?
’
‘
Only
somebody
to
the
lodger
,
’
replied
Mr
Swiveller
.
