Gentlemen, I shall say but one word in favour of my excellent friend, of mine, say I? ay, of mine, of yours. He is a friend to all of us! Bags is justly considered the most shining ornament. Mr. Attie and Mr. Edward Pepper can scarcely be said to belong entirely to either; they unite the good qualities of both. All, "Lovett forever!"
Tomlinson, "I think it may first be as well to introduce my pupil and friend to his future companions." "You speak like a leary cove," cried Gentleman George, still squeezing our hero's hand; and turning round in his elbow-chair, he pointed to each member, as he severally introduced his guests to Paul.
