'Obliged to two strangers for a tavern bill, eh! repeated Mr Slyme, after a sulky application to his glass. 'Very pretty! And crowds of impostors, the while, becoming famous; men who are no more on a level with me than Tigg, I take you to witness that I am the most persecuted hound on the face of the earth.

'In the first place, returned the gentleman, 'you will permit me to say, that I object to that remark, and that I strongly and indignantly protest against it on behalf of my friend Slyme. In the next place, you will give me leave to introduce myself. My name, sir, is Tigg.

I have no knowledge of the party whom you call Slyme. I am, sir, said Mr Tigg, striking himself upon the breast, 'a premium tulip, of a very different growth and cultivation from the cabbage Slyme, sir. 'It matters very little to me, said Martin coolly, 'whether you have set up as a vagabond on your own account, or are still trading on behalf of Mr Slyme.

Meantime, Crass and Slyme proceeded on their way down town. It was about half past six o'clock: the shops and streets were brilliantly lighted, and as they went along they saw numerous groups of men talking together in a listless way. Most of them were artisans and labourers out of employment and evidently in no great hurry to go home.

His singing was the signal for an outburst of exclamations and catcalls. 'Shut it, for Christ's sake! 'That's enough of that bloody row! And so on. Harlow stopped. 'How's the enemy? asked Easton presently, addressing no one in particular. 'Don't know, replied Bundy. 'It must be about half past four. Ask Slyme; he's got a watch. It was a quarter past four.

When they came down again Slyme said he thought the room would suit him very well. What were the terms? Did he wish to take the room only just to lodge? inquired Ruth, or would he prefer to board as well? Slyme intimated that he desired the latter arrangement. In that case she thought twelve shillings a week would be fair. She believed that was about the usual amount.

Another thing was that Slyme was always in fear that Ruth who had never wholly abandoned herself to wrongdoing might tell Easton what had happened; more than once she had talked of doing so, and the principal reason why she refrained was that she knew that even if he forgave her, he could never think the same of her as before.

For he is, without an exception, the highest-minded, the most independent-spirited, most original, spiritual, classical, talented, the most thoroughly Shakspearian, if not Miltonic, and at the same time the most disgustingly-unappreciated dog I know. But, sir, I have not the vanity to attempt to pass for Slyme.

Last of all there were present Mr Chevy Slyme and his friend Tigg. And it is worthy of remark, that although each person present disliked the other, mainly because he or she DID belong to the family, they one and all concurred in hating Mr Tigg because he didn't.

'There's always been rich and poor in the world and there always will be. 'Of course, said Slyme. 'It says in the Bible that the poor shall always be with us. 'What the bloody 'ell kind of system do you think we ought to 'ave? demanded Crass. 'If everything's wrong, 'ow's it goin' to be altered? At this, everybody brightened up again, and exchanged looks of satisfaction and relief. Of course!
