"You may be sure that befor the fatle day arrived, I didnt niglect to practus my part well; and had sevral REHUSTLES, as they say. "This was the way. I used to dress myself in my full togs.
He said that for slander he did not care, contumely was the lot of every public man who had austere principles of his own, and acted by them austerely; but what he did care for was the character of every single gentleman forming a part of the Independent West Diddlesex Association.

I have been thus particular in my account of the West Diddlesex Insurance Office, and of Mr. You must know that I was rather respected among our gents at the West Diddlesex, because I came of a better family than most of them; had received a classical education; and especially because I had a rich aunt, Mrs.
Aminadab of Chancery Lane, who arrested me as a shareholder of the Independent West Diddlesex Association, at the suit of Von Stiltz of Clifford Street, tailor and draper. I called down Smithers, and told him for Heaven's sake not to tell Mary. "Where is Brough?" says Mr. Smithers. "Why," says Mr. Aminadab, "he's once more of the firm of Brough and Off, sir he breakfasted at Calais this morning!"
I was at this period, as the truth must be known, thirteenth clerk of twenty-four young gents who did the immense business of the Independent West Diddlesex Fire and Life Insurance Company, at their splendid stone mansion in Cornhill.

Mull, W. S., it appeared there was a gentleman of that name, who had practised in Edinburgh with good reputation until 1800, since when he had retired to the Isle of Skye; and on being applied to, knew no more of the West Diddlesex Association than Queen Anne did. General Sir Dionysius O'Halloran had abruptly quitted Dublin, and returned to the republic of Guatemala. Mr.
B. told me that shares could not be had but at a premium; but on my representing that I knew of 5,000l. worth in the market at par, he said "Well, if so, he would like a fair price for his, and would not mind disposing of 5,000l. worth, as he had rather a glut of West Diddlesex shares, and his other concerns wanted feeding with ready money."
Brough was so affected that he actually burst into tears, and I confess I saw in its true light the negligence of which I had been guilty. "Sir," says I, "I am very very sorry: it was a matter of delicacy, rather than otherwise, which induced me not to speak to my aunt about the West Diddlesex." "Delicacy, my dear dear boy as if there can be any delicacy about making your aunt's fortune!
