The visitors having all departed, in compliance with the rather pressing request of Mrs. Raddle, the luckless Mr. Bob Sawyer was left alone to meditate on the probable events of the morrow, and the pleasures of the evening. As these games were very silently conducted, notwithstanding the magnitude of the interests involved, Mr.
'But who do you call a woman? Did you make that remark to me, sir? 'Why, bless my heart! said Mr. Benjamin Allen. 'Did you apply that name to me, I ask of you, sir? interrupted Mrs. Raddle, with intense fierceness, throwing the door wide open. 'Why, of course I did, replied Mr. Benjamin Allen. 'Yes, of course you did, said Mrs.
'Nothing whatever, ma'am, replied Mr. Jackson. 'How de do, ladies? I have to ask pardon, ladies, for intruding but the law, ladies the law. With this apology Mr. Jackson smiled, made a comprehensive bow, and gave his hair another wind. Mrs. Rogers whispered Mrs. Raddle that he was really an elegant young man.

If ever a woman was troubled with a ruffinly creetur, that takes a pride and a pleasure in disgracing his wife on every possible occasion afore strangers, I am that woman! 'You ought to be ashamed of yourself, Raddle, said the other little woman, who was no other than Mrs. Cluppins. 'What have I been a-doing of? asked Mr. Raddle.

The surprize depicted on the countenances of his guests imparted new courage to the host. "Bring up the warm water instantly instantly!" said Mr. Bob Sawyer, with desperate sternness.
But the event which had promised to be such a happy one at the famous old inn was spoiled by those rapscallions of lawyers, and we can only hope that Mr. Raddle made himself amiable with the two ladies left in his charge, and helped them to enjoy the remainder of the day in the pleasant rural and rustic spot.
