'Sam, said Mr. Pickwick, when Mr. Weller appeared in reply to the summons, 'shut the door. Mr. Weller did so. 'There was an unfortunate occurrence here, last night, Sam, said Mr. Pickwick, 'which gave Mr. Winkle some cause to apprehend violence from Mr. Dowler. 'So I've heerd from the old lady downstairs, Sir, replied Sam. 'And I'm sorry to say, Sam, continued Mr.
There are here, as there were then, "old red brick houses" and "the green gate of a garden at the bottom of the yard." Nothing could be more precise, allowing of course for the changes, demolitions, re-buildings, &c., of sixty years. What became of Mr. Peter Magnus and his lady?

'You're late, Jack? said Mr. Benjamin Allen. 'Been detained at Bartholomew's, replied Hopkins. 'Anything new? 'No, nothing particular. Rather a good accident brought into the casualty ward. 'What was that, sir? inquired Mr. Pickwick. 'Only a man fallen out of a four pair of stairs' window; but it's a very fair case indeed.

'Pooh, pooh, my dear Sir, impossible. See Serjeant Snubbin! Bless you, my dear Sir, such a thing was never heard of, without a consultation fee being previously paid, and a consultation fixed.
