Puff could not understand that, though it is all very well to be 'an amaazin' instance of a pop'lar man' with the men, that the same sort of thing does not do with the ladies.
Jawleyford has not stood the honour of the Scamperdale alliance quite so well as his daughter; and when our 'amaazin' instance of a pop'lar man, instigated perhaps by the desire to have old Scamp for a brother-in-law, offered to Amelia, Jaw got throaty and consequential, hemmed and hawed, and pretended to be stiff about it.
"Why, theer heven't been such a thing happen since the big fight wi' the smugglers and the king's men," said Dave. To which John Warren assented, and said it was "amaazin'." "And who do you think it weer?" said Dave, as he stood scratching his ear; and upon being told the squire's opinion, he shook his head, and said there was no knowing.
Poor Puff never thought of being more than an amaazin' instance of a pop'lar man! Not that the ladies' denunciations did the Corinthian any harm at first old ladies know each other better than that; and each new mamma had no doubt but Mrs. Depecarde or Mrs.
One evening, after he had indulged us with a more than usual dose, and was leaving the room to dress for an eight o'clock dinner at Long's, 'Buzzer! exclaimed the old man, clutching our arm, as the tears started to his eyes, 'Buzzer! that's an amaazin' instance of a pop'lar man! And certainly, if a large acquaintance is a criterion of popularity, young Puffington, as he was then called, had his fair share.
Many were the smiles, and bows, and nods, and finger kisses, and bright eyes, and sweet glances, that the fair flyers shot at our friend as they darted past. We were lost in astonishment at the sight. 'Verily, said we, 'but the old man was right. This is an amaazin' instance of a pop'lar man.
Puffington still stuck to the 'amaazin' pop'lar man' character; a character that is not so convenient to support in the country as it is in town.
