My master very soon found out what was Mr. Blewitt's game. Gamblers know gamblers, if not by instink, at least by reputation; and though Mr. Blewitt moved in a much lower speare than Mr. Deuceace, they knew each other's dealins and caracters puffickly well. "It's Mr. Dawkins, a rich young gentleman from Oxford, and a great friend of Mr.
But the best of it was, that these 13 sovrings which Dawkins won, MASTER HAD BORROWED THEM FROM MR. BLEWITT! I brought 'em, with 7 more, from that young genlmn's chambers that very morning: for, since his interview with master, Blewitt had nothing to refuse him. Well, shall I continue the tail? If Mr.
There wor Squire Maunder, here John assumed his full historical key, 'him wi' the pot to his vittle-place; and Sir Richard Blewitt shaking over the zaddle, and Squaire Sandford of Lee, him wi' the long nose and one eye, and Sir Gronus Batchildor over to Ninehead Court, and ever so many more on 'em, tulling up how they was arl gooin' to be promoted, for kitching of Tom Faggus.
Blewittses, sir," says I; "they seem to live in each other's rooms." Master said nothink, but he GRIN'D my eye, how he did grin. Not the fowl find himself could snear more satannickly.

This young fellow was a new comer into the Temple, and unlucky it was for him too he'd better have never been born; for it's my firm apinion that the Temple ruined him that is, with the help of my master and Mr. Dick Blewitt: as you shall hear. Mr.
Dawkins had been the least bit wiser, it would have taken him six months befoar he lost his money; as it was, he was such a confunded ninny, that it took him a very short time to part with it. Dawkins, as I said, gev his party, dinner at 7. Mr. Blewitt and the two Mr. D.'s as befoar. Play begins at 11.
The fair Angelica cast a glance at Lieutenant Blewitt, who was standing at the gangway, hoping heartily to have the honour of handing her and her sister down the accommodation ladder, and of uttering a last farewell, but he averted his eyes when he saw those of his charmer fixed on him.
"But all these," says some faithful mourner after the deceased Ministry, "they intended to have done, and would have done, if they could." Ay, to be sure. Admit it, for the nonce; 'twas easy to say it, but the thing was to do it quoth Mr Blewitt! That same doing, is what we are congratulating the present Ministry upon.
