Are you all in the dumps? Fighting Attie, go, lend him a hand! Come, lean upon me, at your service I am! Get away from his elbow, you whelp! him You'll only upset, them 'ere fellows but sham!
The severe response of Mobbing Francis did not in the least ruffle the constitutional calmness of Fighting Attie; but the wary Clifford, seeing that Francis had lost his temper, and watchful over the least sign of disturbance among the company, instantly called for another song, and Mobbing Francis sullenly knocked down Old Bags.
