four pound in sovereigns--I missed them first--it’s a trial--I feel I
shall never be able to knock a double knock again, when I go my
rounds--don’t say anything more about it, please--the spoons
were worth--never mind--never mind!’

With such muttered outpourings as these, the old gentleman
shed a few tears; but, they got him into the elbow-chair, and
prevailed upon him, without much pressing, to make a hearty
supper, and by the time he had finished his first pipe, and
disposed of half-a-dozen glasses out of a crown bowl of punch,
ordered by Mr Kenwigs, in celebration of his return to the bosom
of his family, he seemed, though still very humble, quite resigned
to his fate, and rather relieved than otherwise by the flight of his
wife.

‘When I see that man,’ said Mr Kenwigs, with one hand round
Mrs Kenwigs’s waist: his other hand supporting his pipe (which
made him wink and cough very much, for he was no smoker): and
his eyes on Morleena, who sat upon her uncle’s knee, ‘when I see
that man as mingling, once again, in the spear which he adorns,
and see his affections deweloping themselves in legitimate
sitiwations, I feel that his nature is as elewated and expanded, as
his standing afore society as a public character is unimpeached,
and the woices of my infant children purvided for in life, seem to
whisper to me softly, “This is an ewent at which Evins itself looks
down!”’
