procession�察 �the venerable Mr Smallweed out for an airing�察�
attended by his grand´daughter Judy as bodyguard。
^Mr George�察 �my dear friend�察院 �says Grandfather Smallweed�察�
removing his right arm from the neck of one his bearers�察�whom he
has nearly throttled coming along�察 �how de do�拭�You¨re surprised
to see me�察�my dear friend。 ̄
^I should hardly have been more surprised to have seen your
friend in the city�察院�returns Mr George。
^I am very seldom out�察院�pants Mr Smallweed。 ^I haven¨t been
out for many months。 It¨s inconvenient!and it comes expensive。
But I longed so much to see you�察�my dear Mr George。 How de do�察�
sir�拭院�
^I am well enough�察院�says Mr George。 ^I hope you are the same。 ̄
^You can¨t be too well�察 �my dear friend。 ̄ Mr Smallweed takes
him by both hands。 ^I have brought my grand´daughter Judy。 I
couldn¨t keep her away。 She longed so much to see you。 ̄
^Humph� �She bears it calmly� 院�mutters Mr George。
^So we got a hackney cab�察�and put a chair in it�察�and just round
the corner they lifted me out of the cab and into the chair�察 �and
carried me here�察 �that I might see my dear friend in his own
establishment� �This�察院�says Grandfather Smallweed�察�alluding to the
bearer�察 �who has been in danger of strangulation�察 �and who
withdraws adjusting his windpipe�察 �is the driver of the cab。 He has
nothing extra。 It is by agreement included in his fare。 This
person�察院�the other bearer�察 �we engaged in the street outside for a
pint of beer。 Which is twopence。 Judy�察�give the person twopence。 I
was not sure you had a workman of your own here�察 �my dear

friend�察�or we needn¨t have employed this person。 ̄
Grandfather Smallweed refers to Phil�察 �with a glance of
considerable terror�察�and a half´subdued ^O Lord� �O dear me� 院�Nor
is his apprehension�察�on the surface of things�察�without some reason�察�
for Phil�察�who has never beheld the apparition in the black velvet
cap before�察�has stopped short with a gun in his hand�察�with much of
the air of a dead shot�察 �intent on picking Mr Smallweed off as an
ugly old bird of the crow species。
^Judy�察 �my child�察院 �says Grandfather Smallweed�察 �give the
person his twopence。 It¨s a great deal for what he has done。 ̄
The person�察 �who is one of those extraordinary specimens�察 �of
human fungus that spring up spontaneously in the western streets
of London�察�ready dressed in an old red jacket�察�with a ^Mission ̄ for
holding horses and calling coaches�察 �receives his twopence with
anything but transport�察 �tosses the money into the air�察 �catches it
overhanded�察�and retires。
^My dear Mr George�察院 �says Grandfather Smallweed�察 �would
you be so kind as to help to carry me to the fire�拭�I am accustomed
to a fire�察�and I am an old man�察�and I soon chill。 O dear me� 院�
His closing exclamation is jerked out of the venerable
gentleman by the suddenness with which Mr Squod�察�like a genie�察�
catches him up�察 �chair and all�察 �and deposits him on the hearth´
stone。
^O Lord� 院 �says Mr Smallweed�察 �panting。 ^O dear me� �O my
stars� �My dear friend�察 �your workman is very strong!and very
prompt。 O Lord�察 �he is very prompt� �Judy�察 �draw me back a little。
I¨m being scorched in the legs�察院 �which indeed is testified to the
noses of all present by the smell of his worsted stockings。
The gentle Judy�察 �having backed her grandfather a little way

from the fire�察 �and having shaken him up as usual�察 �and having
released his overshadowed eye from its black velvet extinguisher�察�
Mr Smallweed again says�察 �O dear me� �O Lord� 院 �and looking
about�察�and meeting Mr George¨s glance�察�again stretches out both
hands。
^My dear friend� �So happy in this meeting� �And this is your
establishment�拭�It¨s a delightful place。 It¨s a picture� �You never find
that anything goes off here�察�accidentally�察�do you�察�my dear friend�拭院�
adds Grandfather Smallweed�察�very ill at ease。
^No�察�no。 No fear of that。 ̄
^And your workman。 He!O dear me� �he never lets anything
off without meaning it�察�does he�察�my dear friend�拭院�
^He has never hurt anybody but himself�察院 �says Mr George�察�
smiling。
^But he might�察�you know。 He seems to have hurt himself a good
deal�察�and he might hurt somebody else�察院�the good old gentleman
returns。 ^He mightn¨t mean it!or he even might。 Mr George�察�will
you order him to leave his infernal firearms alone�察�and go away�拭院�
Obedient to a nod from the trooper�察�Phil retires�察�empty´handed�察�
to the other end of the gallery。 Mr Smallweed�察 �reassured�察 �falls to
rubbing his legs。
^And you¨re doing well�察 �Mr George�拭院 �he says to the trooper�察�
squarely standing faced about towards him with his broadsword in
his hand。 ^You are prospering�察�please the Powers�拭院�
Mr George answers with a cool nod�察�adding�察 �Go on。 You have
not come to say that�察�I know。 ̄
^You are so sprightly�察 �Mr George�察院 �returns the venerable
grandfather。 ^You are such good company。 ̄
^Ha ha� �Go on� 院�says Mr George。

^My dear friend� �but that sword looks awful gleaming and
sharp。 It might cut somebody�察�by accident。 It makes me shiver�察�Mr
George!Curse him� 院 �says the excellent old gentleman apart to
Judy�察�as the trooper takes a step or two away to lay it aside。 ^He
owes me money�察 �and might think of paying off all scores in this
murdering place。 I wish your brimstone grandmother was here�察�
and he¨d shave her head off。 ̄
Mr George�察�returning�察�folds his arms�察�and looking down at the
old man�察�sliding every moment lower and lower in his chair�察�says
quietly�察 �Now for it� 院�
^Ho� 院 �cries Mr Smallweed�察 �rubbing his hands with an artful
chuckle。 ^Yes。 Now for it。 Now for what�察�my dear friend�拭院�
^For a pipe�察院 �says Mr George�察 �who with great composure sets
his chair in the chimney´corner�察�takes his pipe from the grate�察�fills
it and lights it�察�and falls to smoking peacefully。
This tends to the discomfiture of Mr Smallweed�察�who finds it so
difficult to resume his object�察�whatever it may be�察�that he becomes
exasperated�察 �and secretly claws the air with an impotent
vindictiveness expressive of an intense desire to tear and rend the
visage of Mr George。 As the excellent old gentleman¨s nails are
long and leaden�察 �and his hands lean and veinous�察 �and his eyes
green and watery�察�and�察�over and above this�察�as he continues�察�while
he claws�察�to slide down in his chair and to collapse into a shapeless
bundle�察 �he becomes such a ghastly spectacle�察 �even in the
accustomed eyes of Judy�察 �that that young virgin pounces at him
with something more than the ardour of affection�察�and so shakes
him up�察�and pats and pokes him in divers parts of his body�察 �but
particularly in that part which the science of self´defence would
call his wind�察 �that in his grievous distress he utters enforced

sounds like a paviour¨s rammer。
When Judy has by these means set him up again in his chair�察�
with a white face and frosty nose ��but still clawing���察�she stretches
out her weazen forefinger�察 �and gives Mr George one poke in the
back。 The trooper raising his head�察�she makes another poke at her
esteemed grandfather�察 �and�察 �having thus brought them together�察�
stares rigidly at the fire。
^Aye�察 �aye� �Ho�察 �ho� �U!u!u!ugh� 院 �chatters Grandfather
Smallweed�察�swallowing his rage。 ^My dear friend� 院。�still clawing��。
^I tell you what�察院�says Mr George。 ^If you want to converse with
me�察 �you must speak out。 I am one of the Roughs�察 �and I can¨t go
about and about。 I haven¨t the art to do it。 I am not clever enough。
It don¨t suit me。 When you go winding round and round me�察院�says
the trooper�察�putting his pipe between his lips again�察 �damme�察�if I
don¨t feel as if I was being smothered� 院�
And he inflates his broad chest to its utmost extent�察 �as if to
assure himself that he is not smothered yet。
^If you have come to give me a friendly call�察院 �continues Mr
George�察 �I am obliged to you�察 �how are you�拭 �If you have come to
see whether there¨s any property on the
