Why that fellow, Lewsome, can invent 'em for you by the score. Is this all? Have you nothing else? Old Martin looked at him steadily. 'Whether you are what you seemed to be at Pecksniff's, or are something else and a mountebank, I don't know and I don't care, said Jonas, looking downward with a smile, 'but I don't want you here.
Oh, Betsey Prig, what wickedness you've showed this night, but never shall you darken Sairey's doors agen, you twining serpiant! 'You were always so kind to her, too! said John, consolingly. 'That's the cutting part. That's where it hurts me, Mr Westlock, Mrs Gamp replied; holding out her glass unconsciously, while Martin filled it. 'Chosen to help you with Mr Lewsome! said John.
Ill-met, ill-trained, ill-begotten. If he moves from the spot on which he stands, or speaks a word above his breath to any person here, open the window, and call for help! 'What right have you to give such directions in this house? asked Jonas faintly. 'The right of your wrong-doing. Come in there! An irrepressible exclamation burst from the lips of Jonas, as Lewsome entered at the door.
With that, Mark folded his arms, and took his seat upon the window-ledge, with an air of general preparation for anything, which seemed to imply that he was equally ready to jump out himself, or to throw Jonas out, upon receiving the slightest hint that it would be agreeable to the company. Old Martin turned to Lewsome: 'This is the man, he said, extending his hand towards Jonas. 'Is it?
Quick in all his motions, John was turning round to desire the women to leave the room; when the sick man held him by the sleeve. 'Not now. I've not the strength. I've not the courage. May I tell it when I have? May I write it, if I find that easier and better? 'May you! cried John. 'Why, Lewsome, what is this! 'Don't ask me what it is. It's unnatural and cruel. Frightful to think of.
I found out how the old gentleman there, Mr Chuffey, had behaved at the funeral; and I found out what this man, touching Lewsome on the arm, 'had talked about in his fever. I was by when this was done. You see him now. He is only worse than he was then. Oh, miserable, miserable fool! oh, insupportable, excruciating torture!
'This person's name is Lewsome, said John Westlock, 'whom I have mentioned to you as having been seized with an illness at the inn near here, and undergone so much. He has had a very hard time of it, ever since he began to recover; but, as you see, he is now doing well.
This almost confirmed John in his suspicion; so, not taking what had passed into any serious account, he resumed his former cheerful manner, and assisted by Mrs Gamp and Betsey Prig, conducted Lewsome downstairs to the coach; just then upon the point of starting.
But country air, and change of scene, said John, 'will make another man of you! Why, Mrs Gamp, he added, laughing, as he kindly arranged the sick man's garments, 'you have odd notions of a gentleman's dress! 'Mr Lewsome an't a easy gent to get into his clothes, sir, Mrs Gamp replied with dignity; 'as me and Betsey Prig can certify afore the Lord Mayor and Uncommon Counsellors, if needful!
'I fear he was made away with. Murdered! 'My God! said Martin. 'By whom? The young man, Lewsome, looked up in his face, and casting down his eyes again, replied: 'I fear, by me. 'By you? cried Martin. 'Not by my act, but I fear by my means. 'Speak out! said Martin, 'and speak the truth. 'I fear this IS the truth.
