If a man wished to abstract himself from the world to remove himself from within the reach of temptation to place himself beyond the possibility of any inducement to look out of the window we should recommend him by all means go to Lant Street.
Get out, you mouldy old villain, get out! With this adjuration, which was addressed to the large book, the medical gentleman kicked the volume with remarkable agility to the farther end of the shop, and, pulling off his green spectacles, grinned the identical grin of Robert Sawyer, Esquire, formerly of Guy's Hospital in the Borough, with a private residence in Lant Street.
"Any one know the other men who went out on this mad sally?" says the lieutenant. "Where's Harry Lant?" I says. There was no answer here either, and this time it was my turn to speak in a queer husky voice as I said again: "Where's Measles? I mean Sam Bigley." "He's gone too, poor chap," says some one.
Let alone my feeling that, somehow or another, Harry Lant was not so true a mate to me as he used to be, there was a good deal wrong between Captain Dyer and Lieutenant Leigh, and it soon seemed plain that there was much more peace and comfort in our camp a week earlier than there was at the time of which I am now writing.
Whilst he and her father transacted matters of business in the upper rooms, Jane remained downstairs with Mrs. Byass. Before quitting the house he asked her if she had had any communication with Miss Lant yet. 'I ought to write and tell her, replied Jane. 'I will do so for you, said the lawyer, kindly.
I often think of Captain Lant in the winter, for he told Kate once that he "felt master old in winter to what he did in summer." He likes reading, fortunately, and we had a letter from him, not long ago, acknowledging the receipt of some books of travel by land and water which we had luckily thought to send him. Danny
When he reached the parlour he did not offer to take her hand, and she feared to approach him. She saw that his features bore the mark of sleeplessness. Hers, poor girl! were yet more woeful in their pallor. Through the meal he affected to occupy himself with the book Miss Lant had sent the sight of which was intolerable to Jane. And not for a full hour did he speak anything but casual words.
A back attic was found for Charles near the Marshalsea, at Lant Street, in the Borough where Bob Sawyer, it will be remembered, afterwards invited Mr. Pickwick to that disastrous party. The boy moved into his new quarters with the same feeling of elation as if he had been entering a palace. The change naturally brought him more fully into the prison circle.
Shooter's Gardens, convinced of the fraud practised upon them, nobly brought back their quarts of soup to the kitchen, and with proud independence of language demanded to have their money returned. On being met with a refusal, they what think you? emptied the soup on to the floor, and went away with heads exalted. Vast was the indignation of Miss Lant and the other ladies.
"What wounded are there?" said Captain Dyer, as I walked slowly up. "Nearly every man to some extent," said Lieutenant Leigh; "but this man and Lant are the worst." "The place ought to be evacuated," said Captain Dyer; "it is impossible to hold it another day." "We might hold out another day," said Lieutenant Leigh, "but not longer. Why not retreat under cover of the night?"
