Slackbridge acted as fugleman, and gave the time. Private feeling must yield to the common cause. Hurrah! The roof yet vibrated with the cheering, when the assembly dispersed. Thus easily did Stephen Blackpool fall into the loneliest of lives, the life of solitude among a familiar crowd.
'My friends, said he, 'by virtue o' my office as your president, I askes o' our friend Slackbridge, who may be a little over hetter in this business, to take his seat, whiles this man Stephen Blackpool is heern. You all know this man Stephen Blackpool. You know him awlung o' his misfort'ns, and his good name. With that, the chairman shook him frankly by the hand, and sat down again.
Aw that's now about me in this room were heer afore I coom, an' will be heer when I am gone. Put that clock aboard a ship an' pack it off to Norfolk Island, an' the time will go on just the same. So 'tis wi' Slackbridge every bit. Reverting for a moment to his former refuge, he observed a cautionary movement of her eyes towards the door. Stepping back, he put his hand upon the lock.
Slackbridge likewise sat down, wiping his hot forehead always from left to right, and never the reverse way. 'My friends, Stephen began, in the midst of a dead calm; 'I ha' hed what's been spok'n o' me, and 'tis lickly that I shan't mend it.
My friends, I doubt their doin' yo onny good. Licker they'll do yo hurt. Slackbridge laughed, folded his arms, and frowned sarcastically. 'But 't an't sommuch for that as I stands out. If that were aw, I'd coom in wi' th' rest. But I ha' my reasons mine, yo see for being hindered; not on'y now, but awlus awlus life long! Slackbridge jumped up and stood beside him, gnashing and tearing.
Oh, my friends and fellow- countrymen, the down-trodden operatives of Coketown, oh, my fellow- brothers and fellow-workmen and fellow-citizens and fellowmen, what a to-do was there, when Slackbridge unfolded what he called 'that damning document, and held it up to the gaze, and for the execration of the working-man community!
