"Oh, then, of course you are too happy to show such respect to the wishes of the defunct." "What defunct?" "Your uncle." "What! uncle Sneezum?" and a wonderful light seemed to break in upon my mind. "He sent this baby here?" Mr Morgan nodded his head; and, being a man of great caution, he only put his finger in a mysterious manner alongside of his nose, and said
But before I had time for further exclamations, my friend Mr Morgan, who had come quietly into the room, interrupted me "Hush, my dear Sneezum you are delighted, I'm sure. A most interesting incident eh, Sneezum?"
"There, my dear Sneezum, you are altogether wrong; she was no relation of your uncle. She was the daughter of a Mr Brown of the Commissariat, and left to your uncle's charge; you, of course, succeeded to the guardianship as his representative; but she is no more a Hindoo than you are." "That makes it worse, sir."
I cried to the men, "catch that long villain with the dwarf telescope and take him into the house; if I don't get him six weeks of the treadmill my name is not Tom Sneezum." The man made a stout resistance, but at last was overpowered, and carried into the hall.
Sir, It is twenty years since I first contributed to your Magazine; it was rather a brief article, and was not inserted in the early part of the work. In short, it consisted of a few lines in the Obituary at the end of the Number, and was as follows: "Died at Bunderjumm, in the East Indies, Thomas Sneezum, Esq., much and justly regretted by a numerous circle of friends and acquaintances."
And yet, after all, it was my own individual self, Thomas Smith Sneezum not, perhaps, exactly as I was at that moment but as I had often and often fancied myself when I had gone through a course of Thaddeus of Warsaws, and other chronicles of the brave and beautiful.
"She will be a very foolish, a very ungrateful girl, if she doesn't for hasn't he loved her ever since she was a child?" "Well, Martha, you are certainly a very nice, a very affectionate girl; and I may as well put your mind at rest at once by telling you" "Sneezum! Sneezum!" There was old Morgan again kicking at the study door, and holloing Sneezum with all his might.
Here Mr Morgan burst into a great laugh. "My dear Sneezum, you are always trying to find out some wonderful scene or other to put into one of your books. No, no these are two nurses; one will remain in charge of the child, the other returns immediately to Calcutta." "And where will the one that is to remain where will she live?"
"To be sure; how do I know that some more black women mayn't come with some more children till my house grows like a gallery of bronzed figures; but I'll sell them see if I don't; I'll pack them all on an Italian boy's head-board, and sell them to the doctors every one." "You labour under a mistake, my dear Sneezum. You've got my letter?" "Yes I got it but"
"Oh! these things do all very well in a book," I began; "but, by jingo, sir, it's a very different thing in real life; and I tell you very fairly, I'd sooner be married at once than have all the troubles of bringing up a set of children that I have nothing to do with." "Children! my dear Sneezum?"
