Ceremony performed, register signed, Lady Tippins escorted out of sacred edifice by Veneering, carriages rolling back to Stucconia, servants with favours and flowers, Veneering's house reached, drawing-rooms most magnificent. Here, the Podsnaps await the happy party; Mr Podsnap, with his hair-brushes made the most of; that imperial rocking-horse, Mrs Podsnap, majestically skittish.
I have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient and very humble servant, JOHN PODSNAP. Fledgeby looked at the three blank sides of this note, quite as long and earnestly as at the first expressive side, and then looked at Lammle, who responded with another extensive sweep of his right arm. 'Whose doing is this? said Fledgeby. 'Impossible to imagine, said Lammle.
So, Georgiana repairing to her friend, Mr Podsnap went out to dinner, and to dinner, and yet to dinner, arm in arm with Mrs Podsnap: settling his obstinate head in his cravat and shirt-collar, much as if he were performing on the Pandean pipes, in his own honour, the triumphal march, See the conquering Podsnap comes, Sound the trumpets, beat the drums!
The Lammles were so fond of the dear Veneerings that they could not for some time detach themselves from those excellent friends; but at length, either a very open smile on Mr Lammle's part, or a very secret elevation of one of his gingerous eyebrows certainly the one or the other seemed to say to Mrs Lammle, 'Why don't you play? And so, looking about her, she saw Miss Podsnap, and seeming to say responsively, 'That card? and to be answered, 'Yes, went and sat beside Miss Podsnap.
'Hush! Ma'll hear. 'She can't hear from where she sits. 'Don't you be too sure of that, said Miss Podsnap, in a lower voice. 'Well, what I mean is, that they seem to enjoy it. 'And that perhaps you would have enjoyed it, if you had been one of them? Miss Podsnap nodded significantly. 'Then you don't enjoy it now? 'How is it possible? said Miss Podsnap. 'Oh it is such a dreadful thing!
Bald bathers folded their arms and talked to Mr Podsnap on the hearthrug; sleek-whiskered bathers, with hats in their hands, lunged at Mrs Podsnap and retreated; prowling bathers, went about looking into ornamental boxes and bowls as if they had suspicions of larceny on the part of the Podsnaps, and expected to find something they had lost at the bottom; bathers of the gentler sex sat silently comparing ivory shoulders.
Arrayed in superb raiment, with his opera hat under his arm, he concluded his self-examination hopefully, awaited the arrival of Miss Podsnap, and talked small-talk with Mrs Lammle. 'Warm weather, Mrs Lammle, said Fascination Fledgeby. Mrs Lammle thought it scarcely as warm as it had been yesterday.
And this young Fledgeby, who was of an excellent family and rich, was known to two other certain persons, dearly attached to one another and called Mr and Mrs Alfred Lammle. So this young Fledgeby, being one night at the play, there sees with Mr and Mrs Alfred Lammle, a certain heroine called 'No, don't say Georgiana Podsnap! pleaded that young lady almost in tears. 'Please don't.
I had engaged myself to dinner, but I'll send Mrs Podsnap and get off going myself; and I'll dine with you at eight. It's important we should report progress and compare notes. Now, let me see. You ought to have a couple of active energetic fellows, of gentlemanly manners, to go about. Veneering, after cogitation, thinks of Boots and Brewer. 'Whom I have met at your house, says Podsnap. 'Yes.
Therefore, the Analytical has orders to produce the cream of the cream of his binns, and therefore it falls out that rallying becomes rather a trying word for the occasion; Lady Tippins being observed gamely to inculcate the necessity of rearing round their dear Veneering; Podsnap advocating roaring round him; Boots and Brewer declaring their intention of reeling round him; and Veneering thanking his devoted friends one and all, with great emotion, for rarullarulling round him.
