Dockwrath sat at the right hand of Kantwise, discreetly avoiding the neighbourhood of Moulder, and the others ranged themselves according to fancy at the table. "Come up along side of me, old fellow," Moulder said to Snengkeld. "It ain't the first time that you and I have smacked our lips together over the same bit of roast beef." "Nor won't, I hope, be the last by a long chalk, Mr.
"He's in earnest at any rate," said Mr. Moulder. "No mistake about that," said Snengkeld. But Mr. Kantwise spoke never a word. It was at last decided that John Kenneby should go both to Hamworth and to Bedford Row, but that he should go to Hamworth first.
"It's all in the hands of Providence," said Kantwise, "and we should look to him." "And how does it taste?" asked Moulder, shaking the gloomy thoughts from his mind. "Uncommon," said Snengkeld, with his mouth quite full. "I never eat such a turkey in all my life." "Like melted diamonds," said Mrs. Moulder, who was not without a touch of poetry.
Moulder was discussing with the waiter the all-important subject of dinner. "At the commercial table sir?" the waiter had asked, doubtingly. Mr. Dockwrath had answered boldly in the affirmative, whereat Mr. Moulder had growled; but Mr. Kantwise had expressed satisfaction. "We shall be extremely happy to enjoy your company," Mr.
Kantwise skipped out of the room, and soon returned with James and Boots, each of the three bearing on his shoulder a deal box nearly as big as a coffin, all of which were deposited in different parts of the room. Mr. Moulder in the meantime snored heavily, his head falling on to his breast every now and again. But nevertheless he held fast by his pipe. Mr.
He had come on by a night train, and had been doing a stroke of business that morning. "Well, Kantwise," Moulder holloaed out from his warm, well-padded seat, "doing it cheap and nasty, eh?" "Not at all nasty, Mr. Moulder," said the other. "And I find myself among as respectable a class of society in the second-class as you do in the first; quite so; and perhaps a little better," Mr.
Dockwrath would not assent. As he wanted to see Mr. Mason very specially, he should go early, and preferred going by himself. "No offence, I hope," said Mr. Kantwise. "None in the least," said Mr. Dockwrath. "And if you would allow me, sir, to have the pleasure of showing you a few of my patterns, I'm sure I should be delighted." This he said observing that Mr.
Kantwise, bearing very lightly on the chair, descended to the ground without accident. "Now, that's what I call gammon," said Moulder. "What is gammon, Mr. Moulder?" said the other, beginning to be angry. "It's all gammon. The chairs and tables is gammon, and so is the stools and the screens." "Mr. Moulder, I didn't call your tea and coffee and brandy gammon."
Dockwrath " And so they went on, bargaining half the way up to town, till at last they came to terms for fourteen eleven. "And a very superior article your lady will find them," Mr. Kantwise said as he shook hands with his new friend at parting. One day Mr.
Dockwrath; I must admit they was strained, particularly the loo." "You had gone through your gymnastics on it a little too often?" asked the attorney. But this Mr. Kantwise would not acknowledge.
