"An earl's coronet," said Pen, who, no doubt, was pleased himself, "will have a great effect in Lamb Court and Smithfield. Stay Lady Rockminster, will you join us in a little conspiracy?" "How do you mean conspiracy, young man?" "Will you please to be a little ill to-morrow; and when old Mr. Huxter arrives, will you let me call him in?
Huxter had been one of the boys of the Clavering School, who had been present at a combat which has been mentioned in the early part of this story, when young Pen knocked down the biggest champion of the academy, and Huxter knew that it was dangerous to quarrel with Arthur. His apologies were as odious to the other as his abuse had been.
The second labourer came round in a circle, stared, and conceiving that Hall had tumbled over of his own accord, turned to resume the pursuit, only to be tripped by the ankle just as Huxter had been. Then, as the first labourer struggled to his feet, he was kicked sideways by a blow that might have felled an ox.
Huxter on particular business! Pray, beg Mr. Huxter to come in," said Pen, amused rather; and not the less so when poor Sam appeared before him. "Pray take a chair, Mr. Huxter," said Pen, in his most superb manner. "In what way can I be of service to you?" "I had rather not speak before the flunk before the man, Mr. Pendennis;" on which Mr. Arthur's attendant quitted the room.
How is her Ladyship?" "Her Ladyship is not very well; and when I heard that you were coming to town, I strongly urged her to see you, Mr. Huxter," Pen said. Old Huxter felt, if he had a hundred votes for Clavering, he would give them all to Pen. "There is an old friend of yours in the carriage a Clavering lady, too will you come out and speak to her?" asked Pen.
As he caught sight of the young lady on the box, she started and turned pale: her mother became redder than ever: the heretofore gay and triumphant Mr. Arthur too, looked dark and suspicious on perceiving Mr. Samuel Huxter in company with his old acquaintances: but his suspicion was that of alarmed morality, and, I dare say, highly creditable to Mr. Arthur: like the suspicion of Mrs.
Costigan had a key of his own, which Huxter inserted into the keyhole for him, so that there was no need to call up little Mr.
Pendennis! what do you mean?" asked the old gentleman. "Suppose I had to tell you that a young man, carried away by an irresistible passion for an admirable and most virtuous young creature whom everybody falls in love with had consulted the dictates of reason and his heart, and had married. "Sam married! God bless my soul, sir, you don't mean that!" "And to such a nice creature, dear Mr. Huxter."
This stranger, to the perceptions of the proprietor of the cocoanut shy, appeared to be talking to himself, and Mr. Huxter remarked the same thing. He stopped at the foot of the "Coach and Horses" steps, and, according to Mr. Huxter, appeared to undergo a severe internal struggle before he could induce himself to enter the house. Finally he marched up the steps, and was seen by Mr.
Thus Huxter was enabled to present to his friends many pictures of Costigan: of Costigan fighting a jewel in the Phaynix of Costigan and his interview with the Juke of York of Costigan at his sonunlaw's teeble, surrounded by the nobilitee of his countree of Costigan, when crying drunk, at which time he was in the habit of confidentially lamenting his daughter's ingratichewd, and stating that his grey hairs were hastening to a praymachure greeve.
