Serjeant Snubbin, and said it was a fine morning. 'Who's that red-faced man, who said it was a fine morning, and nodded to our counsel? whispered Mr. Pickwick. 'Mr. Serjeant Buzfuz, replied Perker. 'He's opposed to us; he leads on the other side. That gentleman behind him is Mr. Skimpin, his junior. Mr.
Pickwick; but inasmuch as our readers are far better able to form a correct estimate of that gentleman's merits and deserts, than Serjeant Snubbin could possibly be, we do not feel called upon to enter at any length into the learned gentleman's observations. He attempted to show that the letters which had been exhibited, merely related to Mr.
Pickwick was on the point of inquiring, with great abhorrence of the man's cold-blooded villainy, how Mr. Serjeant Buzfuz, who was counsel for the opposite party, dared to presume to tell Mr. Serjeant Snubbin, who was counsel for him, that it was a fine morning, when he was interrupted by a general rising of the barristers, and a loud cry of 'Silence! from the officers of the court.
'Where does Serjeant Snubbin live? 'In Lincoln's Inn Old Square, replied Perker. 'I should like to see him, said Mr. Pickwick. 'See Serjeant Snubbin, my dear Sir! rejoined Perker, in utter amazement. 'Pooh, pooh, my dear Sir, impossible. See Serjeant Snubbin! Bless you, my dear Sir, such a thing was never heard of, without a consultation fee being previously paid, and a consultation fixed.
He was overawed by the Serjeant, and profoundly courteous to the attorney. 'I have not had the pleasure of seeing you before, Mr. Phunky, said Serjeant Snubbin, with haughty condescension. Mr. Phunky bowed. He HAD had the pleasure of seeing the Serjeant, and of envying him too, with all a poor man's envy, for eight years and a quarter.
Pickwick's being found in a lady's sleeping-apartment at midnight; which had terminated, he believed, in the breaking off of the projected marriage of the lady in question, and had led, he knew, to the whole party being forcibly carried before George Nupkins, Esq., magistrate and justice of the peace, for the borough of Ipswich! 'You may leave the box, Sir, said Serjeant Snubbin. Mr.
Pickwick's attention; and he had scarcely returned it, when Mr. Serjeant Snubbin appeared, followed by Mr. Mallard, who half hid the Serjeant behind a large crimson bag, which he placed on his table, and, after shaking hands with Perker, withdrew. Then there entered two or three more Serjeants; and among them, one with a fat body and a red face, who nodded in a friendly manner to Mr.
It couldn't be done, my dear Sir; it couldn't be done. Mr. Pickwick, however, had made up his mind not only that it could be done, but that it should be done; and the consequence was, that within ten minutes after he had received the assurance that the thing was impossible, he was conducted by his solicitor into the outer office of the great Serjeant Snubbin himself.
'Ah, I thought not, said the Serjeant, in that sort of pitying tone in which ordinary folks would speak of a very helpless little child. 'Mr. Mallard, send round to Mr. Mr. 'Phunky's Holborn Court, Gray's Inn, interposed Perker. Phunky, and say I should be glad if he'd step here, a moment. Mr. Mallard departed to execute his commission; and Serjeant Snubbin relapsed into abstraction until Mr.
Charley ejaculated. "He sure was," Bert went on. "Tony and Charley and me just set on our horses stunned thinkin' th' Kid had gone clean loco and was flirtin' with certain and pronto death. As Captain Jack rushed him th' Ramblin' Kid give a jump sideways, his rope went true, a quick run to the snubbin' post and he throwed him dead! The broncho hit his feet, give a squeal and come straight back!
