Abednego became head clerk: and one day old Abednego came to the place and was shown into the directors' private room; when he left it, he came trembling, chattering, and cursing downstairs; and had begun, "Shentlemen " a speech to the very clerks in the office, when Mr. Brough, with an imploring look, and crying out, "Stop till Saturday!" at length got him into the street.
"We have not much monde to-day," continued Miss Brough, "and are only in petit comite; but I hope before you leave us you will see some societe that will make your sejour agreeable." I saw at once that she was a fashionable girl, from her using the French language in this way. "Isn't she a fine girl?" said Brough, whispering to me, and evidently as proud of her as a man could be.
It seems to me you had much better have obeyed my aunt's instructions at once, or go to her at Fulham, and consult with her on this subject." "'Sdeath, Mr. Titmarsh! don't you see that if she makes a sale of her property, she will hand over the money to Brough; and if Brough gets the money he " "Will give her seven per cent. for it instead of three, there's no harm in that."
Indeed, such an Association as ours was enough work for any man, let alone the parliamentary duties which Brough was called on to perform, and the seventy-two lawsuits which burst upon him as principal director of the late companies. Perhaps I should here describe the desperate attempts made by Mrs. Hoggarty to introduce herself into genteel life.

I maintain that deceitful applause is not in our implied contract; certainly we never hiss or boo, though there is a splendid tradition rendered popular by poor Lal Brough that one of us found a play so utterly bad that he left his seat, went to the box-office, and bought a ticket, in order that he might express his opinion without prejudice to his conscience.
Brough been here? says I, rather astonished. "'Yes; I suppose you are both here on the same scent, says Wapshot. 'You want to marry the widow with the Slopperton and Squashtail estate, do you? Well, well, have your way. I've promised not to have anything more to do with the widow and a Wapshot's honour is sacred. "'I suppose, sir, says I, 'Mr.
But why should we not have twenty millions a hundred millions? Why should not this be the greatest commercial Association in the world? as it shall be, sir, it shall, as sure as my name is John Brough, if Heaven bless my honest endeavours to establish it! But do you suppose that it can be so, unless every man among us use his utmost exertions to forward the success of the enterprise?
It cost that body five hundred merks ere he got to the south of Bally- Brough. So there was old to do about ransoming the bridegroom; for Donald would not lower a farthing of a thousand punds 'The devil! 'Punds Scottish, ye shall understand.
