The ears of the baron were this morning quite muffled, I think, with the abundance of his hair, which he had evidently been dressing with an avalanche of soap and water, for the topknot was as harsh and tight as a felt. He had lemon-blossoms on his lappel and lemon kids on his fists.
Pickwick, with some embarrassment, 'I had no idea of your accompanying us. 'No, that's just the very thing, replied Bob, seizing Mr. Pickwick by the lappel of his coat. 'That's the joke. 'Oh, that's the joke, is it? said Mr. Pickwick. 'Of course, replied Bob.
