'Not lost, said Jingle hastily, 'Pay it all stick to business cash up every farthing. Yellow fever, perhaps can't help that if not Here Mr.
If you want to see the bad side of obscurity, look at Browning. The idea is often a very simple one when you get at it; it's only obscure because it is conveyed by hints and jerks and nudges.

But the strong point on which all Ipswichians may rest secure is Mr. Pickwick's statement to Mrs. Leo Hunter that Bury was "not many miles from here." But an even more convincing proof can be found in Jingle's relation to Eatanswill. He came over from Bury to Mrs. Leo Hunter's party, leaving his servant there, at the Hotel, and returned the same evening.

Jingle's meditations, as he wended his way to Doctors' Commons.
