They will only get Justine's story if they shadow me, and if I can only hit it off right, at Calcutta. Yes! there is the king luck of all. To give the whole thing away to the baffled Viceroy. Then denounce Ram Lal to him as the early confederate and later assassin of Hugh Fraser Johnstone! These jewels that I have 'innocently received' will connect old Ram Lal with Hugh Fraser's betrayed trust.
Thackeray had of old assumed the jester's habit, in order the more unrestrainedly to indulge the privilege of speaking the truth; we had traced his clever progress through "Fraser's Magazine" and the ever-improving pages of "Punch" which wonder of the time has been infinitely obliged to him but still we were little prepared for the keen observation, the deep wisdom, and the consummate art which he has interwoven in the slight texture and whimsical pattern of "Vanity Fair."

"Are you goin' to set that 'ead-piece to work or are you not?" Mr. Green coughed confusedly, and attempted to think with a brain which was already giddy with responsibility. "I don't want to do anything that isn't straight and gentlemanly," he remarked. "Straight?" repeated Joe. "Look 'ere! Cap'n Fraser's our old man, ain't he? Very good, it's our dooty to stand by 'im.
