"Hold on, Billy," came a thin voice out of the blackness beyond and to the left of the lean-to. "Don't shoot!" A short, gaunt figure now leaped noiselessly rather than strode out into the firelight.

Peter Magnus took a view of Mr. Pickwick through his coloured spectacles for several minutes, and then said, with an air of modesty 'And what do you think what DO you think, Mr. Pickwick I have come down here for?
