 quoted Captain Fitz-Marshall, and hurled Captain Fitz-Marshall at the devoted heads of their select circle of acquaintance, until their bosom friends, Mrs. Porkenham and the Miss Porkenhams, and Mr. Sidney Porkenham, were ready to burst with jealousy and despair. And now, to hear, after all, that he was a needy adventurer, a strolling player, and if not a swindler, something so very like it, that it was hard to tell the difference! Heavens! What would the Porkenhams say! What would be the triumph of Mr. Sidney Porkenham when he found that his addresses had been slighted for such a rival! How should he, Nupkins, meet the eye of old Porkenham at the next Quarter Sessions! And what a handle would it be for the opposition magisterial party, if the story got abroad!

"But after all," said Mr. Nupkins, brightening for a moment, after a long pause; "after all, this is a mere statement. Captain Fitz-Marshall is a man of very engaging manners, and, I dare say, has many enemies. What proof have you of the truth of these representations?"

"Confront me with him," said Mr. Pickwick, "that is all I ask, and all I require. Confront him with me and my friends here; you will want no further proof."

"Why," said Mr. Nupkins, "that might be very easily done, for he will be here to-night, and then there would be no occasion to make the matter public, just—just—for the young man's own sake, you know. I—I—should like to consult Mrs. Nupkins on the propriety of the step, in the first instance, though. At all events, Mr. Pickwick, we must despatch this legal business before we can do anything else. Pray step back into the next room."

Into the next room they went.

"Grummer," said the magistrate, in an awful voice.

"Your wash-up," replied Grummer, with the smile of a favourite.

"Come, come, sir," said the magistrate, sternly, "don't let me see any of this levity here. It is very unbecoming, and

All I know is that I got straight up, and went out of the drawing-room, and left him alone. Any school-girl might have done as silly a thing. I can't say that I take any particular comfort in the recollection of the fact. But I am convinced I should do it again under the same circumstances.

For the lace curtain blew so, and fell over my head and face, and I stood up to push it away, and he sprang to his feet, and his arms—and I dipped under them, as if we had been playing that game that children call "Open the gates to let the king come in"—and so I whirled about, and swung out, and I found I was free, and I ran.

He has n't gone yet. It is perfectly still in the drawing-room. That is his cigar on the piazza. I wonder what he 's waiting for?

my head out of the window just now to ask him, for it is very tiresome up here, and cigar-smoke makes me nervous. So I leaned out a little way, and I said:

"What are you waiting for, Mr. Herwin?"

"You."

"You 'll wait a good while, then."

"Sir, I find you insufferable."

"Dear, I find you adorable."

"Mr. Herwin, go home. I am not coming down."

"Marna, come down. I am not going home."

"Then you will spend the night on the piazza. What are you waiting for, anyway?"

"To take something."

"Call James. He has the keys of the wine-cellar."

"Are you going to be insufferable?"

"Well, I 'd rather be anything than adorable."

"But, you see, you can't help yourself."

"You 'll find I can What is it you are waiting to take, Mr. Herwin?"

"One of my rights."

"You have no rights, sir."

"Oh, yes, I have Marna, come down!"

"I might, if you spoke to me properly."

"Won't you come down—please?"

"I am sorry to disappoint you. But I do not please." And then I shut the window down. But it is a pretty warm night, and I could n't stand it as long as I thought I could. So I opened the window after a while, as softly as a moonbeam sliding around the edges of a leaf. I did n't think anybody could hear me. That

"Kissing me."

" know how all this strikes you," said Mr. Farr, turning suddenly upon Dr. Barrack.

"Well—it's interestin'," said Dr. Barrack, leaning forward upon his folded arms upon the table, and considering his words carefully.

"It's interestin'," he repeated. "I don't know how far you want to hear what I think about it. I'm rather a downright person."

Sir Eliphaz with great urbanity motioned him to speak on.

"There's been, if you'll forgive me, nonsense upon both sides."

He turned to Sir Eliphaz. "This Spook stuff," he said, and paused and compressed his lips and shook his head.

"It won't do.

"I have given some little attention to the evidences in that matter. I'm something of a psychologist—a doctor has to be. Of course, Sir Eliphaz, you're not responsible for all the nonsense you have been talking about sublimated bricks and spook dogs made of concentrated smell."

 allelomorph, and we can speak of the integral characters which constitute it as hypallelomorphs. We ought to write the heterozygote (A A′ A′′) B and the gametes produced. by it may be of the form A, A′, A′′, A′′′,B. Or the resolution may be incomplete in various degrees, as we already suspect from certain instances; in which case we may have gametes A, A′A′′, A′′′ A′′′′, A′A′′ Av,B, and Each of these may meet a similar or a dissimilar gamete in fertilisation, forming either a homozygote, or a heterozygote with its distinct properties.

In the case of compound allelomorphs we know as yet nothing of the statistical relations of the several gametes.

Thus we have the conception

(5) of a Compound character, borne by one gamete, transmitted entire as a single character so long as fertilisation only occurs between like gametes, or is, in other words, "symmetrical," but if fertilisation take place with a dissimilar gamete (or possibly by other causes), resolved into integral constituent-characters, each separately transmissible.

Next, as, by the union of the gametes bearing the various hypallelomorphs with other such gametes, or with gametes bearing simple allelomorphs, in fertilisation, a number of new zygotes will be formed, such as may not have been seen before in the breed: these will inevitably be spoken of as varieties; and it is difficult not to extend the idea of variation to them. To distinguish these from other variations—which there must surely be—we may call them

(6) Analytical variations in contradistinction to

(7) Synthetical variations, occurring not by the separation of pre-existing constituent-characters but by the addition of new characters.


text:
Page:Mendel's principles of heredity; a defence.pdf/50

 Lastly, it is impossible to be presented with the fact that in Mendelian cases the cross-bred produces on an average equal numbers of gametes of each kind, that is to say, a symmetrical result, without suspecting that this fact must correspond with some symmetrical figure of distribution of those gametes in the cell-divisions by which they are produced.

At the present time these are the main conceptions—though by no means all—arising directly from Mendel's work. The first six are all more or less clearly embodied by him, though not in every case developed in accordance with modern knowledge. The seventh is not a Mendelian conception, but the facts before us justify its inclusion in the above list though for the present it is little more than a mere surmise.

In Mendelian cases it will now be perceived that all the zygotes composing the population consist of a limited number of possible types, each of definite constitution, bearing gametes also of a limited and definite number of types, and definite constitution in respect of pre-existing characters. It is now evident that in such cases each several progenitor need not be brought to account in reckoning the probable characters of each descendant; for the gametes of cross-breds are differentiated at each successive generation, some parental (Mendelian) characters being left out in the composition of each gamete produced by a zygote arising by the union of bearers of opposite allełomorphs.

When from these considerations we return to the phenomena comprised in the Law of Ancestral Heredity, what certainty have we that the same conceptions are not applicable there also?

Runo X]

In a noble house was nurtured,

By his dear and much-loved mother,

Where the bay spread out most widely,

Where the cape extended furthest.

Kauko fed himself on fishes,

Ahti was reared up on perches,

And he grew a man most handsome,

Very bold and very ruddy,

And his head was very handsome,

And his form was very shapely,

Yet he was not wholly faultless,

But was careless in his morals,

Passing all his time with women,

Wandering all around at night-time,

When the maidens took their pleasure

In the dance, with locks unbraided.

Kylli, beauteous maid of Saari,

Saari’s maiden, Saari’s flower,

In a noble house was nurtured,

And her stature grew most graceful,

Sitting in her father’s dwelling,

Resting there in seat of honour.

Long she grew, and wide was famous:

Suitors came from distant regions,

To the far-famed maiden’s homestead,

To the dwelling of the fair one.

For his son, the Sun had wooed her , But she would not go to Sunland,

Where the Sun is ever shining

In the burning heats of summer.

For his son, the Moon had wooed her,

But she would not go to Moonland,

Where the Moon is ever shining,

In the realms of air to wander.

For his son, a Star had wooed her,

But she would not go to Starland,

Through the live-long night to glimmer,

In the open skies of winter.

Many suitors came from Viro,

And from Ingerland came others;

None among them pleased the maiden,

And she answered all as follows:

“’Tis for nought your gold you squander,

And your silver waste for nothing.

Never will I go to Viro,

Neither go, nor in the future

Row a boat through Viro’s waters,

Nor will move a punt from Saari,

Nor will eat the fish of Viro,

Nor the fish-soup eat of Viro.

“Nor to Ingerland I’ll travel,

Nor its slopes and shores will visit.

There is hunger, nought but hunger,

Want of trees, and want of timber,

Want of water, want of wheatfields,

There is even want of ryebread.”

Then the lively Lemminkainen,

He the handsome Kaukomieli,

Now resolved to make a journey

And to woo the Flower of Saari,

Seek at home the peerless fair one,

With her beauteous locks unbraided.

But his mother would dissuade him,

And the aged woman warned him:

“Do not seek, my son, my darling,

Thus to wed above your station.

There are none would think you noble

Of the mighty race of Saari.”

Said the lively Lemminkainen,

Said the handsome Kaukomieli,

“If my house is not as noble,

Nor my race esteemed so mighty,

For my handsome shape they’ll choose me,

For my noble form will take me.”

But his mother still opposed her

Unto Lemminkainen’s journey,

To the mighty race of Saari,

To the clan of vast possessions.

“There the maidens all will scorn you,

And the women ridicule you.”

Little heeded Lemminkainen,

And in words like these he answered:

“I will check the women’s laughter,

And the giggling of their daughters.

Sons I’ll give unto their bosoms,

Children in their arms to carry;

Then they will no longer scorn me,

Thus I’ll stop their foolish jesting.”

Then his mother made him answer:

“Woe to me, my life is wretched.

If you mock the Saari women,

Bring to shame the modest maidens,

You will bring yourself in conflict,

And a dreadful fight will follow.

All the noble youths of Saari,

Full a hundred skilful swordsmen,

All shall rush on thee unhappy,

Standing all alone amidst them.”

Little heeded Lemminkainen

All the warnings of his mother;

Chose the best among his stallions,

And the steed he quickly harnessed,

And he drove away with clatter,

To the village famed of Saari,

There to woo the Flower of Saari,

She, the peerless maid of Saari.

But the women ridiculed him,

And the maidens laughed and jeered him.

In the lane he drove most strangely,

Strangely to the farm came driving,

Turned the sledge all topsy-turvy,

At the gate he overturned it.

Then the lively Lemminkainen

Mouth awry, and head downsunken,

While his black beard he was twisting,

Spoke aloud the words which follow:

“Never aught like this I witnessed,

Never saw I, never heard I,

That the women laughed about me,

And the maidens ridiculed me.”

Little troubled Lemminkainen,

And he spoke the words which follow:

“Is there not a place in Saari,

On the firm ground of the island,

For the sport that I will show you,

And for dancing on the greensward,

With the joyous girls of Saari,

With their fair unbraided tresses?

Then the Saari maidens answered,

Spoke the maidens of the headland:

“There is room enough in Saari,

On the firm ground of the island,

For the sport that you shall show us,

And for dancing on the greensward,

For the milkmaids in the meadows,

And the herd-boys in their dances;

Very lean are Saari’s children,

But the foals are sleek and fattened.”

Little troubled Lemminkainen,

But engaged himself as herd-boy,

Passed his days among the meadows,

And his nights ’mid lively maidens,

Sporting with the charming maidens,

Toying with their unbound tresses.

Thus the lively Lemminkainen,

He the handsome Kaukomieli,

Ended soon the women’s laughter,

And the joking of the maidens.

There was not a single daughter,

Not a maid, however modest,

But he did not soon embrace her,

And remain awhile beside her.

One alone of all the maidens,

Of the mighty race of Saari,

Would not list to any lover,

Not the greatest man among them;

Kyllikki, the fairest maiden,

Loveliest flower of all in Saari.

Then the lively Lemminkainen,

He the handsome Kaukomieli,

Wore a hundred boats to tatters,

Rowed in twain a hundred oars,

As he strove to win the maiden,

Kyllikki herself to conquer.

Kyllikki the lovely maiden

Answered him in words that follow:

“Wherefore wander here, O weakling,

Racing round me like a plover,

Always seeking for a maiden,

With her tin-adorned girdle?

I myself will never heed you

Till the stone is ground to powder,

Till the pestle’s stamped to pieces,

And the mortar smashed to atoms.

“Nought I care for such a milksop,

Such a milksop, such a humbug;

I must have a graceful husband,

I myself am also graceful;

I must have a shapely husband,

I myself am also shapely;

And a well-proportioned husband,

I myself am also handsome.”

But a little time thereafter,

Scarce had half a month passed over,

On a certain day it happened,

As was usual in the evenings,

All the girls had met for pleasure,

And the beauteous maids were dancing,

In a grove near open country,

On a lovely space of heathland.

Kyllikki was first among them,

She the far-famed Flower of Saari.

Thither came the ruddy scoundrel,

There drove lively Lemminkainen,

With the best among his horses,

With the horse that he had chosen,

Right into the green arena

Where the beauteous maids were dancing.

Kyllikki he seized and lifted,

Then into the sledge he pushed her,

And upon the bearskin sat her,

That upon the sledge was lying.

With his whip he lashed the stallion,

And he cracked the lash above him,

And he started on his journey,

And he cried while driving onward:

“O ye maidens, may ye never

In your lives betray the secret,

Speak of how I drove among you,

And have carried off the maiden.

“But if you will not obey me,

You will fall into misfortune;

To the war I’ll sing your lovers,

And the youths beneath the sword-blades,

That you hear no more about them,

See them not in all your lifetime,

Either in the streets when walking,

Or across the fields when driving.”

Kyllikki lamented sorely,

Sobbed the beauteous Flower of Saari:

“Let me but depart in safety,

Let the child depart in safety,

Set me free to journey homeward

To console my weeping mother.

“If you will not now release me,

Set me free to journey homeward,

O then I have five strong brothers,

And my uncle’s sons are seven,

Who can run with hare-like swiftness,

And will haste the maid to rescue.”

When she could not gain her freedom,

She began to weep profusely,

And she spoke the words which follow:

“I, poor maid, was born for nothing,

And for nought was born and fostered,

And my life was lived for nothing,

Since I fall to one unworthy,

In a worthless fellow’s clutches,

One for battle always ready,

And a rude ferocious warrior.”

Said the handsome Kaukomieli:

Thou my sweetest little berry,

Do not vex yourself so sorely,

Do not thus give way to sadness.

I will cherish you when eating,

And caress you on my journeys,

Whether sitting, whether standing,

Always near when I am resting.

“Wherefore then should you be troubled,

Wherefore should you sigh for sorrow?

Are you therefore grieved so sorely,

Therefore do you sigh for trouble,

Lest the cows or bread might fail you,

Or provisions be deficient?

“Do not vex yourself so sorely,

I have cows enough and plenty,

Plenty are there, milk to yield me,

Some, Muurikkis, in the marshes,

Some, Mansikkis, on the hillsides,

Some, Puolukkas, on the clearing.

Sleek they are, although unfoddered.

Fine they are, although untended.

In the evening none need bind them,

In the evening none need loose them,

No one need provide them fodder,

Nor give salt in morning hours.

Or perchance are you lamenting,

Sighing thus so full of trouble,

That I am not high descended,

Nor was born of noble lineage?

“If I am not high descended,

Nor was born of noble lineage,

Yet have I a sword of keenness,

Gleaming brightly in the battle.

This is surely high descended,

And has come of noble lineage,

For the blade was forged by Hiisi,

And by Jumala ’twas polished,

VI of Malay and use fewer Malay words, but there is an increasing tendency with them to pick up any Malay words they happen to hear used, when in the Rangers or in the courts, and adopt them.

The Saribas and Skarang Dyaks, the keenest hunters after jungle produce (gutta, rotan, etc.) are better off than any other Dyaks and travel long distances, even to the Celebes, in quest of old jars, yet, in spite of their strong trading instincts and their smartness they do not make use of Malay words, when speaking their own tongue, to so great an extent as the two previously mentioned tribes, the reason being perchance, that they, or at all events the Saribas, have always been the dominant race in their river and as such have learnt to look down somewhat upon the Malays.

The Sabuyau and Bugau Dyaks can mostly speak Malay; the latter who inhabit the country beyond the Kalingkang range in Netherlands India territory are said to speak it fluently, the reason probably being that they are frequently visited by Kapuas Malay peddlers. The Sabuyau are a dwindling race. Scarcely a dozen families remain in their old home in the Sabuyau river, at the mouth of the Batang Lupar, but the majority live at Lundu where doubtless the purity of their language lias suffered much through their close intimacy with their Malay neighbours.

The Ulu Batang Ai or Ulu Ai Dyaks, who live further up the Batang Lupar river than any other people, probably speak the purest dialect of the Sea Dyak language, but their accent is harsh and their speech rough sounding and unpleasant compared with that of those who live nearer the sea. From their position they have naturally had little intercourse with Malays until more recent years, and their knowledge of Malay is practically nil.

The importance of the Sea Dyak language in Sarawak cannot be over-estimated.

It is the language of one of the most numerous races in the country—a race which is increasing and spreading further and further year by year. It is the language of the most energetic and go-ahead of all the native races in the Island of Borneo, and it is a living and growing language.

Throughout the Batang Lupar, Saribas, Kalaka, and Rejang rivers and their tributaries it is par excellence the trade language. Nearly all Chinese living in these rivers speak or understand it; indeed if they understand a little Malay, they usually prefer to talk Dyak, for it comes easier and more natural to them to do so, as many are married to Dyak women. The language is familiar to all Malays who live in or near Dyak countries or who go inland (mudik ka Daya), and even if they are strangers they find they can rapidly acquire a knowledge of this language which is in so many respects similar to their own. Wherever there is a government station of any importance it is garrisoned usually by Rangers and this language there is in daily use.

 countenance had resumed its usual benign expression, ere he concluded.

"I have been hasty," said Mr. Pickwick, "very hasty. dotwist't Tupman; your hand."

The dark shadow passed from Mr. Tupman's face, as he warmly grasped the hand of his friend.

"I have been hasty, too," said he.

"No, no," interrupted Mr. Pickwick, "the fault was mine. You will wear the green velvet jacket?"

"No, no," replied Mr. Tupman.

"To oblige me, you will," resumed Mr. Pickwick.

"Well, well, I will," said Mr. Tupman. It was accordingly settled that Mr. Tupman, Mr. Winkle, and Mr. Snodgrass, should all wear fancy dresses. Thus Mr. Pickwick was led by the very warmth of his own good feelings to give his consent to a proceeding from which his better judgment would have recoiled—a more striking illustration of his amiable character could hardly have been conceived, even if the events recorded in these pages had been wholly imaginary.

Mr. Leo Hunter had not exaggerated the resources of Mr. Solomon Lucas. His wardrobe was extensive—very extensive—not strictly classical perhaps, nor quite new, nor did it contain any one garment made precisely after the fashion of any age or time, but everything was more or less spangled; and what can be prettier than spangles! It may be objected that they are not adapted to the daylight, but everybody knows that they would glitter if there were lamps; and nothing can be clearer than that if people give fancy balls in the day-time, and the dresses do not show quite as well as they would by night, the fault lies solely with the people who give the fancy balls, and is in no wise chargeable on the spangles. Such was the convincing reasoning of Mr. Solomon Lucas; and influenced by such arguments did Mr. Tupman, Mr. Winkle, and Mr. Snodgrass, engage to array themselves in costumes which his taste and experience induced him to recommend as admirably suited to the occasion.

Thus am I so high descended,

And I come of noblest lineage,

With my sword so keenly sharpened

Gleaming brightly in the battle.”

But the maiden sighed with anguish,

And in words like these made answer,

“O thou Ahti, son of Lempi,

If you would caress the maiden,

Keep her at your side for ever,

Dove-like in thy arms for ever,

Pledge thyself by oaths eternal,

Not again to join in battle,

Whether love of gold may lure you,

Or your wish is fixed on silver.”

Then the lively Lemminkainen

Answered in the words which follow:

“Here I swear, by oaths eternal,

Not again to join in battle,

Whether love of gold may lure me,

Or my wish is fixed on silver.

But thyself on oath must pledge thee,

Not to wander to the village,

Whether for the love of dancing,

Or to loiter in the pathways.”

Then they took the oaths between them,

And with oaths eternal bound them,

There in Jumala’s high presence,

In the sight of the Almighty,

Ahti should not go to battle,

Nor should Kylli seek the village.

Then the lively Lemminkainen

Whipped his steed to faster running,

Shook the reins to urge him onward,

And he spoke the words which follow:

“Now farewell to Saari’s meadows,

Roots of pine, and trunks of fir-trees,

Where I wandered for a summer,

Where I tramped throughout the winter,

And on cloudy nights took shelter,

Hiding from the stormy weather,

"Sir," said Mr. Pickwick, "you're another!"

Mr. Tupman advanced a step or two, and glared at Mr. Pickwick. Mr. Pickwick returned the glare, concentrated into a focus by means of his spectacles, and breathed a bold defiance. Mr. Snodgrass and Mr. Winkle looked on, petrified at beholding such a scene between two such men.

"Sir," said Mr. Tupman, after a short pause, speaking in a low, deep voice, "you have called me old."

"I have," said Mr. Pickwick.

"And fat."

"I reiterate the charge."

"And a fellow."

"So you are!"

There was a fearful pause.

"My attachment to your person, sir," said Mr. Tupman, speaking in a voice tremulous with emotion, and tucking up his wristbands meanwhile, "is great—very great—but upon that person, I must take summary vengeance."

"Come on, sir!" replied Mr. Pickwick. Stimulated by the exciting nature of the dialogue, the heroic man actually threw himself into a paralytic attitude, confidently supposed by the two by-standers to have been intended as a posture of defence.

"What!" exclaimed Mr. Snodgrass, suddenly recovering the power of speech, of which intense astonishment had previously bereft him, and rushing between the two, at the imminent hazard of receiving an application on the temple from each, "What! Mr. Pickwick, with the eyes of the world upon you! Mr. Tupman! Who, in common with us all, derives a lustre from his undying name! For shame, gentlemen; for shame."

The unwonted lines which momentary passion had ruled in Mr. Pickwick's clear and open brow, gradually melted away, as his young friend spoke, like the marks of a black-lead pencil beneath the softening influence of India rubber. His

 but Mr. Winkle had conveyed the intelligence of the fancy ball there, before him.

"Mrs. Pott's going," were the first words with which he saluted his leader.

"Is she?" said Mr. Pickwick.

"As Apollo," replied Mr. Winkle. "Only Pott objects to the tunic.

"He is right. He is quite right," said Mr. Pickwick emphatically.

"Yes;—so she's going to wear a white satin gown with gold spangles."

"They'll hardly know what she's meant for; will they?" inquired Mr. Snodgrass.

"Of course they will," replied Mr. Winkle indignantly. "They'll see her lyre, won't they?"

"True; I forgot that," said Mr. Snodgrass.

"I shall go as a Bandit," interrupted Mr. Tupman.

"What!" said Mr. Pickwick, with a sudden start.

"As a bandit," repeated Mr. Tupman, mildly.

"You don't mean to say," said Mr. Pickwick, gazing with solemn sternness at his friend, "You don't mean to say Mr. Tupman, that it is your intention to put yourself into a green velvet jacket, with a two-inch tail?"

"Such is my intention, sir," replied Mr. Tupman warmly. "And why not, sir?"

"Because, sir," said Mr. Pickwick, considerably excited. "Because you are too old, sir."

"Too old!" exclaimed Mr. Tupman.

"And if any further ground of objection be wanting," continued Mr. Pickwick, "you are too fat, sir."

"Sir," said Mr. Tupman, his face suffused with a crimson glow. "This is an insult."

"Sir," replied Mr. Pickwick in the same tone, "It is not half the insult to you, that your appearance in my presence in a green velvet jacket, with a two-inch tail, would be to a two-inch tail, me."

 "Finely expressed," said Mr. Pickwick.

"All point, sir," said Mr. Leo Hunter, "but you shall hear Mrs. Leo Hunter repeat it. She can do justice to it, sir. She will repeat it, in character, sir, to-morrow morning."

"In character!"

"As Minerva. But I forgot—it's a fancy-dress breakfast."

"Dear me," said Mr. Pickwick, glancing at his own figure—"I can't possibly—"

"Can't, sir; can't!" exclaimed Mr. Leo Hunter. "Solomon Lucas, the Jew in the High Street, has thousands of fancy dresses. Consider, sir, how many appropriate characters are open for your selection. Plato, Zeno, Epicurus, Pythagoras—all founders of clubs."

"I know that," said Mr. Pickwick, "but as I cannot put myself in competition with those great men, I cannot I cannot presume to wear their dresses."

The grave man considered deeply, for a few seconds, and then said,

"On reflection, sir, I don't know whether it would not afford Mrs. Leo Hunter greater pleasure, if her guests saw a gentleman of your celebrity in his own costume, rather than in an assumed one. I may venture to promise an exception in your case, sir—yes, I am quite certain that on behalf of Mrs. Leo Hunter, I may venture to do so."

"In that case," said Mr. Pickwick, "I shall have great pleasure in coming."

"But I waste your time, sir," said the grave man, as if suddenly recollecting himself. "I know its value, sir. I will not detain you. I may tell Mrs. Leo Hunter, then, that she may confidently expect you and your distinguished friends? Good morning, sir, I am proud to have beheld so eminent a personage—not a step, sir; not a word." And without giving Mr. Pickwick time to offer remonstrance or denial, Mr. Leo Hunter stalked gravely away.

Mr. Pickwick took up his hat, and repaired to the Peacock,

While I waited for my dear one,

And to bear away my darling.”

On he urged his prancing courser,

Till he saw his home before him,

And the maiden spoke as follows,

And in words like these addressed him:

“Lo, I see a hut before us,

Looking like a place of famine.

Tell me whose may be the cottage,

Whose may be this wretched dwelling?”

Then the lively Lemminkainen

Answered in the words which follow:

“Do not grieve about the hovel,

Sigh not for the hut before you.

We will build us other houses,

And establish better dwellings,

Built of all the best of timber,

With the very best of planking.”

Thus the lively Lemminkainen

Reached again his home in safety,

Finding there his dearest mother,

She, his old and much-loved mother.

And his mother spoke as follows,

And expressed herself in thiswise:

“Long, my son, have you been absent,

Long in foreign lands been roaming.”

Said the lively Lemminkainen,

And he spoke the words which follow:

“I have brought to shame the women,

With the modest girls have sported,

And have well repaid the laughter,

And the jests they heaped upon me.

To my sledge the best I carried,

And upon the rug I sat her,

And between the runners laid her,

And beneath the rug I hid her;

Thus repaid the laughing women,

And the joking of the maidens.

“O my mother, who hast borne me,

O my mother, who hast reared me,

 "Was he celebrated for his works and talents?" inquired Mr. Pickwick.

"He was, sir," replied the grave man, "all Mrs. Leo Hunter's acquaintance are; it is her ambition, sir, to have no other acquaintance."

"It is a very noble ambition," said Mr. Pickwick.

"When I inform Mrs. Leo Hunter, that that remark fell from your lips, sir, she will indeed be proud," said the grave man. "You have a gentleman in your train, who has produced some beautiful little poems, I think, sir."

"My friend Mr. Snodgrass has a great taste for poetry," replied Mr. Pickwick.

"So has Mrs. Leo Hunter, sir. She doats on poetry, sir. She adores it; I may say that her whole soul and mind are wound up, and entwined with it. She has produced some delightful pieces, herself, sir. You may have met with her 'Ode to an Expiring Frog,' sir."

"I don't think I have," said Mr. Pickwick.

"You astonish me, sir," said Mr. Leo Hunter. "It created an immense sensation. It was signed with an 'L' and eight stars, and appeared originally in a Lady's Magazine. It commenced

"Beautiful!" said Mr. Pickwick.

"Fine," said Mr. Leo Hunter, "so simple."

"Very," said Mr. Pickwick.

"The next verse is still more touching. Shall I repeat it?"

"If you please," said Mr. Pickwick.

"It runs thus," said the grave man, still more gravely.

 he's a waitin' in the drawing-room—said he'd rather wait all day, than not see you."

Mr. Pickwick, on hearing this determination, descended to the drawing-room, where sat a grave man, who started up on his entrance, and said, with an air of profound respect:

"Mr. Pickwick, I presume?"

"The same."

"Allow me, sir, the honour of grasping your hand. Permit me, sir, to shake it," said the grave man.

"Certainly," said Mr. Pickwick.

The stranger shook the extended hand, and then continued.

"We have heard of your fame, sir. The noise of your antiquarian discussion has reached the ears of Mrs. Leo Hunter—my wife, sir; I am Mr. Leo Hunter"—the stranger paused, as if he expected that Mr. Pickwick would be overcome by the disclosure; but seeing that he remained perfectly calm, proceeded.

"My wife, sir—Mrs. Leo Hunter—is proud to number among her acquaintance all those who have rendered themselves celebrated by their works and talents. Permit me, sir, to place in a conspicuous part of the list the name of Mr. Pickwick, and his brother members of the club that derives its name from him."

"I shall be extremely happy to make the acquaintance of such a lady, sir," replied Mr. Pickwick.

"You shall make it, sir," said the grave man. "To-morrow morning, sir, we give a public breakfast—a fête champetre—to a great number of those who have rendered themselves celebrated by their works and talents. Permit Mrs. Leo Hunter, sir, to have the gratification of seeing you at the Den."

"With great pleasure," replied Mr. Pickwick.

"Mrs. Leo Hunter has many of these breakfasts, sir," resumed the new acquaintance—feasts of reason, sir, and flows of soul,' as somebody who wrote a sonnet to Mrs. Leo Hunter on her breakfasts, feelingly and originally observed."

I have gained what I have sought for,

And have won what most I longed for.

Now prepare the best of bolsters,

And the softest of the cushions,

In my native land to rest me,

With the young and lovely maiden.”

Then his mother spoke as follows,

And in words like these expressed her:

“Now to Jumala be praises,

Praise to thee, O great Creator,

For the daughter thou hast sent me,

Who can fan the flames up brightly,

Who can work at weaving deftly,

And is skilful, too, in spinning,

And accomplished, too, in washing,

And can bleach the clothes to whiteness.

“For thy own weal thank him also;

Good is won, and good brought homeward:

Good decreed by the Creator,

Good that’s granted by his mercy.

On the snow is fair the bunting,

Fairer yet is she beside thee;

White the foam upon the water,

Whiter yet this noble lady:

On the lake the duck is lovely,

Lovelier yet thy cherished darling;

Brilliant is a star in heaven,

Brighter yet thy promised fair one.

“Let the floors be wide expanded,

And the windows widened greatly,

Let new walls be now erected,

All the house be greatly bettered,

And the threshold new-constructed,

Place new doors upon the threshold,

For the youthful bride beside you,

She, of all the very fairest,

She, the best of all the maidens,

And the noblest in her lineage.”

 In the frenzy of his rage he hurled the inkstand madly forward, and followed it up himself. But Mr. Jingle had disappeared, and he found himself caught in the arms of Sam.

"Hallo," said that eccentric functionary, "furniter's cheap were you come from, sir. Self-acting ink, that 'ere; it's I wrote your mark upon the wall, old gen'lm'n. Hold still, sir; wot's the use o' runnin' arter a man as has made his lucky, and got to t' other end of the Borough by this time."

Mr. Pickwick's mind, like those of all truly great men, was open to conviction. He was a quick, and powerful reasoner; and a moment's reflection sufficed to remind him of the impotency of his rage. It subsided as quickly as it had been roused. He panted for breath, and looked benignantly round upon his friends.

Shall we tell the lamentations that ensued, when Miss Wardle found herself deserted by the faithless Jingle? Shall we extract Mr. Pickwick's masterly description of that heartrending scene? His note-book, blotted with the tears of sympathising humanity, lies open before us; one word, and it is in the printer's hands. But, no! we will be resolute! We will not wring the public bosom, with the delineation of such suffering!

Slowly and sadly did the two friends and the deserted lady, return next day in the Muggleton heavy coach. Dimly and darkly had the sombre shadows of a summer's night fallen upon all around, when they again reached Dingley Dell, and stood within the entrance to Manor Farm.

 get the lady away, meanwhile." Mr. Wardle sullenly nodded assent.

"A hundred," said the little man.

"And twenty," said Mr. Jingle.

"My dear sir," remonstrated the little man.

"Give it him," interposed Mr. Wardle, "and let him go."

The cheque was written by the little gentleman, and pocketed by Mr. Jingle.

"Now, leave this house instantly!" said Wardle, starting up.

"My dear sir," urged the little man.

"And mind," said Mr. Wardle, "that nothing should have induced me to make this compromise—not even a regard for my family—if I had not known that the moment you got any money in that pocket of yours, you'd go to the devil faster, if possible, than you would without it—"

"My dear sir," urged the little man again.

"Be quiet, Perker," resumed Wardle. "Leave the room, sir."

"Off directly," said the unabashed Jingle. "Bye bye, Pickwick."

If any dispassionate spectator could have beheld the countenance of the illustrious man, whose name forms the leading feature of the title of this work, during the latter part of this conversation, he would have been almost induced to wonder that the indignant fire which flashed from his eyes, did not melt the glasses of his spectacles—so majestic was his wrath. His nostrils dilated, and his fists clenched involuntarily, as he heard himself addressed by the villain. But he restrained himself again—he did not pulverise him.

"Here," continued the hardened traitor, tossing the licence at Mr. Pickwick's feet; "get the name altered—take home the lady—do for Tuppy."

Mr. Pickwick was a philosopher, but philosophers are only men in armour, after all. The shaft had reached him, penetrated through his philosophical harness, to his very heart.

 better—expensive habit—well, my dear sir, you're a fine young man, man of the world—able to push your fortune, if you had capital, eh?"

"Well," said Mr. Jingle again.

"Do you comprehend me?"

"Not quite."

"Don't you think—now, my dear sir, I put it to you, don't you think—that fifty pounds and liberty, would be better than Miss Wardle and expectation?"

"Won't do—not half enough!" said Mr. Jingle rising.

"Nay, nay, my dear sir," remonstrated the little attorney, seizing him by the button. "Good round sum—a man like you could treble it in no time—great deal to be done with fifty pounds, my dear sir."

"More to be done with a hundred and fifty," replied Mr. Jingle, coolly.

"Well, my dear sir, we won't waste time in splitting straws," resumed the little man, "say—say—seventy."

"Won't do," said Mr. Jingle "Don't go away, my dear sir—pray don't hurry," said the little man. "Eighty; come: I'll write you a cheque at once."

"Won't do," said Mr. Jingle.

"Well, my dear sir, well," said the little man, still detaining him; "just tell me what will do."

"Expensive affair," said Mr. Jingle. "Money out of pocket—posting, nine pounds; licence, three-that's twelve—compensation, a hundred—hundred and twelve—Breach of honour—and loss of the lady—"

"Yes, my dear sir, yes," said the little man, with a knowing look, "never mind the last two items. That's a hundred and twelve—say a hundred—come."

"And twenty," said Mr. Jingle.

"Come, come, I'll write you a cheque," said the little man; and down he sat at the table for that purpose.

"I'll make it payable the day after to-morrow," said the little man, with a look towards Mr. Wardle; "and we can

 "Why, my dear sir, our friend's in an unpleasant position—very much so. We must be content to suffer some pecuniary loss."

"I'll suffer any, rather than submit to this disgrace, and let her, fool as she is, be made miserable for life," said Wardle.

"I rather think it can be done," said the bustling little man. "Mr. Jingle, will you step with us into the next room for a moment?"

Mr. Jingle assented, and the quartette walked into an empty apartment.

"Now, sir," said the little man, as he carefully closed the door, "is there no way of accommodating this matter—step this way, sir, for a moment—into this window, sir, where we can be alone—there, sir, there, pray sit down, sir. Now, my dear sir, between you and I, we know very well, my dear sir, that you have run off with this lady for the sake of her money. Don't frown, sir, don't frown; I say, between you and I, we know it. We are both men of the world, and we know very well that our friends here, are not—eh?"

Mr. Jingle's face gradually relaxed; and something distantly resembling a wink quivered for an instant in his left eye.

"Very good, very good," said the little man, observing the impression he had made.

"Now the fact is, that beyond a few hundreds, the lady has little or nothing till the death of her mother—fine old lady, my dear sir."

"Old," said Mr. Jingle, briefly but emphatically.

"Why, yes," said the attorney with a slight cough. "You are right, my dear sir, she is rather old. She comes of an old sir; old in every sense of the word. The founder of that family came into Kent, when Julius Cæsar invaded Britain;—only one member of it, since, who hasn't lived to eighty-five, and he was beheaded by one of the Henrys. The old lady is not seventy-three now, my dear sir." The little man paused, and took a pinch of snuff.
