Clemency Newcome made an angular tumble against the table, occasioning a sounding clatter among the cups and saucers. 'Heyday! what's the matter there? exclaimed the Doctor. 'It's this evil-inclined blue bag, said Clemency, 'always tripping up somebody! 'With a purpose and intention in it, I was saying, resumed Snitchey, 'that commands respect. Life a farce, Dr. Jeddler? With law in it?
'A dangerous sort of libertine, thought the shrewd lawyer, 'to seem to catch the spark he wants, from a young lady's eyes. 'Now, observe, Snitchey, he continued, rising and taking him by the button, 'and Craggs, taking him by the button also, and placing one partner on either side of him, so that neither might evade him. 'I don't ask you for any advice.
Gradually raising his head, he sat looking at his immovable adviser with a smile, which presently broke into a laugh. 'After all, he said, 'my iron-headed friend Mr. Snitchey pointed out his partner. 'Self and excuse me Craggs. 'I beg Mr. Craggs's pardon, said the client.
Snitchey suited the action to the word, and they groped their way out of the council-chamber, now dark as the subject, or the law in general. My story passes to a quiet little study, where, on that same night, the sisters and the hale old Doctor sat by a cheerful fireside. Grace was working at her needle. Marion read aloud from a book before her.
'The grater says, returned Clemency, 'Do as you wold be done by. 'Do, or you'll be done brown, you mean, said Mr. Snitchey. 'I don't understand, retorted Clemency, shaking her head vaguely. 'I an't no lawyer. 'I am afraid that if she was, Doctor, said Mr.
I never was Mr. Heathfield's bosom friend. I violate no confidence of his. I love where he loves, and I mean to win where he would win, if I can. 'He can't, Mr. Craggs, said Snitchey, evidently anxious and discomfited. 'He can't do it, sir. She dotes on Mr. Alfred. 'Does she? returned the client. 'Mr. Craggs, she dotes on him, sir, persisted Snitchey.
This happened at about the same time as a general movement for a country dance; when Mr. Snitchey proposed himself as a partner to Mrs. Craggs, and Mr. Craggs gallantly offered himself to Mrs. It was an old custom among them, indeed, to do so, and to pair off, in like manner, at dinners and suppers; for they were excellent friends, and on a footing of easy familiarity.
Did anybody but his Snitcheys come to festive entertainments like a burglar? which, by the way, was hardly a clear illustration of the case, as he had walked in very mildly at the door. Neither Snitchey nor Craggs openly attempted to stem the current which had thus set in, but, both were content to be carried gently along it, until its force abated.
Snitchey, 'for Self and Craggs, who bowed, 'good morning! Miss, to Marion, 'I kiss your hand. Which he did. 'And I wish you' which he might or might not, for he didn't look, at first sight, like a gentleman troubled with many warm outpourings of soul, in behalf of other people, 'a hundred happy returns of this auspicious day.

'It's made a great deal too easy, said Mr. Craggs. 'Law is? asked the Doctor. 'Yes, said Mr. Craggs, 'everything is. Everything appears to me to be made too easy, now-a-days. It's the vice of these times.
