As long as he was in this predicament, he was obliged to exhibit every article in proper condition, and was not at liberty, without asking leave, to destroy even such worn-out things as an old Jew clothesman would turn up his beard at.
I could not accompany my poor father in his rambles; and if I went forth at all, my steps involuntarily led me to Wood-street. At last, I resolved to disguise myself, and borrowed this suit from a Jew clothesman, who has a stall in Saint Paul's.
"Vot are you?" "Practising patience," growled Abraham. "Not before it's needed," returned Jack, aloud; adding in a whisper, "get upon my shoulders, Thames. Now you're up, take this spike. Feel for the lock, and prize it open, you don't need to be told how. When it's done, I'll push you through. Take care of the old clothesman, and leave the rest to me.
And I have been lingering about, added Eugene, 'like a bailiff; or, with a look at Riah, 'an old clothesman. The Jew lifted up his eyes, and took in Eugene once more, at another glance. 'Mr Wrayburn, pray, pray, leave me with this protector. And one thing more. Pray, pray be careful of yourself. 'Mysteries of Udolpho! said Eugene, with a look of wonder.
It was enough for him to know that an injustice was being done or attempted to fire him at the centre.

Do you think we could manage that old clothesman between us, if we got out of this box?" "I'd manage him myself, if my arms were free," replied Thames, boldly. "Shpeak up, vill you?" cried Abraham, rapping his knuckles against the hatch. "I likes to hear vot you says. You can have no shecrets from me."

As the funny little group walked along, Pericard steering straight and clear in the right direction, they saw an old Jew clothesman walking just in front of them.
