"Don't take notice," Derek said; "we'll soon stop that." And they had gone another mile before he added: "We've got to make our round again; that's all." The words of Mr. Pogram, 'You have influence, young man, were just. There was about Derek the sort of quality that belongs to the good regimental officer; men followed and asked themselves why the devil they had, afterward.
'I con-sider the cause of this to be, said Pogram, looking round again and taking himself up where Martin had interrupted him, 'partly jealousy and pre-judice, and partly the nat'ral unfitness of the British people to appreciate the ex-alted Institutions of our native land.
Tears stood in the shrill boy's eyes several times; and the whole company observed that their heads ached with the effort as well they might. When it at last became necessary to release Elijah Pogram from the corner, and the Committee saw him safely back again to the next room, they were fervent in their admiration. 'Which, said Mr Buffum, 'must have vent, or it will bust.
Which Martin was extremely glad to hear; for he had begun to speculate on Elijah being a disciple of that other school of republican philosophy, whose noble sentiments are carved with knives upon a pupil's body, and written, not with pen and ink, but tar and feathers. 'What do you think of my countrymen who are present, sir? inquired Elijah Pogram. 'Oh! very pleasant, said Martin.
Pogram humanity's the thing in this age and so it is! Well, now, what line shall we take?" And he rubbed his hands. "Shall we have a try at once to upset what evidence they've got? We should want a strong alibi. Our friends here will commit if they can nobody likes arson. I understand he was sleeping in your cottage. His room, now? Was it on the ground floor?" "Yes; but " Mr.
I tell you that if I were Captain Pogram I would rather have the devil himself, horns, hoofs, and tail, for my first mate and bunk companion, than have that man aboard my ship. You need not concern yourself about the prisoners, Micah. Their future is decided. 'Then, Saxon, I answered, 'it only remains for me to thank you, and to accept the means of safety which you have placed within my reach.
It is suggested that he showed America as full of rowdy bullies like Hannibal Chollop, or ridiculous wind-bags like Elijah Pogram, while England was full of refined and sincere spirits like Jonas Chuzzlewit, Chevy Slime, Montague Tigg, and Mr. Pecksniff. If Martin Chuzzlewit makes America a lunatic asylum, what in the world does it make England? We can only say a criminal lunatic asylum.
Which the shrill boy put in the paper next day; to Elijah Pogram's great surprise. 'We will re-quest you, sir, if you please, said Buffum, laying hands on Mr Pogram as if he were taking his measure for a coat, 'to stand up with your back agin the wall right in the furthest corner, that there may be more room for our fellow citizens.
But the greater part of these things are one Institution with us, and we call it by the generic name of Old Bailey! The bell being rung for dinner at this moment, everybody ran away into the cabin, whither the Honourable Elijah Pogram fled with such precipitation that he forgot his umbrella was up, and fixed it so tightly in the cabin door that it could neither be let down nor got out.
'If the biler of this vessel was Toe bust, sir, said his new acquaintance, 'and Toe bust now, this would be a festival day in the calendar of despotism; pretty nigh equallin', sir, in its effects upon the human race, our Fourth of glorious July. Yes, sir, that is the Honourable Elijah Pogram, Member of Congress; one of the master-minds of our country, sir. There is a brow, sir, there!
