The first day we went to sleep at Charmettes, the way being up-hill, and Madam de Warrens rather heavy, she was carried in a chair, while I followed on foot. Fearing the chairmen would be fatigued, she got out about half-way, designing to walk the rest of it. As we passed along, she saw something blue in the hedge, and said, "There's some periwinkle in flower yet!"
In another minute Mr. Weller had made his way through the crowd, stopped the chairmen, and confronted the portly Grummer. 'Hollo, old gen'l'm'n! said Sam. 'Who have you got in this here conweyance?
