But anybody who had treated Ingersoll or Blaine merely as a fool and a figure of fun would have very rapidly found out his mistake. But Dickens did not know Brick or Chollop long enough to find out his mistake. It need not be denied that, even after a full understanding, he might still have found things to smile at or to criticise.
He had considerable difficulty in getting along at all, and said as much in reply. 'Mr Co. And me, sir, observed Chollop, 'are disputating a piece. He ought to be slicked up pretty smart to disputate between the Old World and the New, I do expect? 'Well! returned the miserable shadow. 'So he had.
The particular case of it now before us is that of the English misunderstanding of America; and it is based, as in all these cases, on the English misunderstanding of England. For the truth is that England has suffered of late from not having enough of the free shooting of Hannibal Chollop; from not understanding enough that the libation of freedom must sometimes be quaffed in blood.
'A little bodily preparation wouldn't be amiss, either, would it, sir, said Mark, 'in the case of a blessed old swamp like this? 'Do you con-sider this a swamp, sir? inquired Chollop gravely. 'Why yes, sir, returned Mark. 'I haven't a doubt about it myself.
'Mine was a more selfish motive, said Martin, looking out again. 'I was afraid you were going to 'I can calc'late my distance, sir, returned Mr Chollop, 'to an inch. With a proof of which happy faculty he immediately favoured him. 'I re-quire, sir, said Hannibal, 'two foot clear in a circ'lar di-rection, and can engage my-self toe keep within it.
But it is equally true that it has seen the most obvious flouting of such official nonsense, far more obvious than any similar evasions in England. And nobody who knows the subconscious violence of the American character would ever be surprised if the weapons of Chollop began to be used in that most lawful lawlessness.
Not as moist as England; let alone its Institutions, said the man. 'I should hope there ain't a swamp in all Americay, as don't whip THAT small island into mush and molasses, observed Chollop, decisively. 'You bought slick, straight, and right away, of Scadder, sir? to Mark. He answered in the affirmative. Mr Chollop winked at the other citizen. 'Scadder is a smart man, sir? He is a rising man?
He called this 'planting the standard of civilization in the wilder gardens of My country. As it was, he contented himself with showing Mark one of the revolving-pistols, and asking him what he thought of that weapon. 'It ain't long since I shot a man down with that, sir, in the State of IllinOY, observed Chollop. 'Did you, indeed! said Mark, without the smallest agitation. 'Very free of you.
I expect, sir, turning to Martin again, 'that a gentleman named Chollop happened in upon you during your lo-cation in the town of Eden? 'Yes, answered Martin; 'but my friend can answer this better than I can, for I was very ill at the time. Mark! The gentleman is speaking of Mr Chollop. 'Oh. Yes, sir. Yes. I see him, observed Mark.
I can't con-ceive of any spotted Painter in the bush, as ever was so riddled through and through as you will be, I bet. 'What for? asked Mark. 'We must be cracked up, sir, retorted Chollop, in a tone of menace. 'You are not now in A despotic land. We are a model to the airth, and must be jist cracked-up, I tell you. 'What! I speak too free, do I? cried Mark.
