'Short girl black eyes niece Emily. There was a pause. Now, if there was one individual in the whole world, of whom the spinster aunt entertained a mortal and deep-rooted jealousy, it was this identical niece.
As we jog along, or walk, by turns, we come to Buckingham Street, and looking up at Alfred Jingle's lodgings say a grateful word of Mr. Pickwick. We tell each other that much of what we know of London and England seems to have been learned from Dickens.
How carefully minute and yet how naturally the time is accounted for "passed over without the occurrence of anything material." It is impossible to resist this air of vraisemblance. I. Jingle and the Theatre The little Theatre here must be interesting to us from the fact of Jingle's having been engaged to play there with the officers of the 52nd Regiment on the night of May 15th, 1827.

The new visitor was very talkative, and the number of his anecdotes was only to be exceeded by the extent of his politeness. Mr. His laughter was forced his merriment feigned; and when at last he laid his aching temples between the sheets, he thought, with horrid delight, on the satisfaction it would afford him to have Jingle's head at that moment between the feather bed and the mattress.
