The man who is so poor that he cannot marry is in a condition of poverty already. 'Wot I mean, said Slyme, 'is that no man oughtn't to marry till he's saved up enough so as to 'ave some money in the bank; an' another thing, I reckon a man oughtn't to get married till 'e's got an 'ouse of 'is own. It's easy enough to buy one in a building society if you're in reg'lar work.

'I wonder what time it is? said Philpot at length. 'I don't know 'ow you feel, but I begin to want my dinner. 'That's just what I was thinking; it can't be very far off it now. It's nearly 'arf an hour since Bert went down to make the tea. It seems a 'ell of a long morning to me. 'So it does to me, said Philpot; 'slip upstairs and ask Slyme what time it is.

Hunter took the head of the longer of the other two tables and Crass the foot, and on either side of Crass were Bundy and Slyme, who had acted with him as the Committee who had arranged the Beano. Payne, the foreman carpenter, occupied the head of the other table.

"About some act That has no relish of salvation in't." Hamlet. "Sweet mercy is nobility's true badge." Titus Andronicus. "BEFORE you begin, Fabian, it is only fair to tell you that I will not listen favorably to one word in his defense. Under the farsical term of secretary, Slyme has been a disgrace and a torment to me for years; and last night has finished everything."

"One can dismiss the fellow, though," says Sir Christopher, still fuming. "And go Slyme shall. After all my kindness to him, too, to speak as he did to-night! The creature is positively without gratitude." "Don't regret that," says Dicky Browne, sympathetically. "You are repining because he declines to notice your benefits; but think of what Wordsworth says

'Have you got enough colour? 'Yes, said Slyme. As he passed through the kitchen on the way to his work, Slyme accosted Bert, the boy, who was engaged in lighting, with some pieces of wood, a fire to boil the water to make the tea for breakfast at eight o'clock. 'There's a bloater I want's cooked, he said. 'All right, replied Bert. 'Put it over there on the dresser along of Philpot's and mine.

Fabian, following him, goes on to the library; and, having desired one of the men to send the secretary, Slyme, to him, sits down at one of the tables and turns over leisurely the pages of accounts that lie there. After a brief examination, he tells himself impatiently that they are somewhat muddled, or have, at least, been attended to in a most slovenly manner.

'I have always expected that he and I would be brought together again in the course of business, said Slyme, taking a fresh handful of nuts from his pocket; 'but I thought he would be wanted for some swindling job; it never entered my head that I should hold a warrant for the apprehension of his murderer. 'HIS murderer! cried Mr Chuzzlewit, looking from one to another.

A hundred pound for only five minutes in the next room! The time's passing. Speak! 'It would be more more creditable to the family, observed Slyme, with trembling lips. 'I wish you hadn't told me half so much. Less would have served your purpose. You might have kept it to yourself. 'A hundred pound for only five minutes in the next room! Speak! cried Jonas, desperately. He took the purse.

'If it had been for anything but a bill, I could have borne it, and could still have looked upon mankind with some feeling of respect; but when such a man as my friend Slyme is detained for a score a thing in itself essentially mean; a low performance on a slate, or possibly chalked upon the back of a door I do feel that there is a screw of such magnitude loose somewhere, that the whole framework of society is shaken, and the very first principles of things can no longer be trusted.
