And the considerate Bloomer added of her own accord, 'We hope we shall have to record many such runs in the imperishable columns of our paper.

Spraggon, Sponge, Slapp, Quilter, Rasper, Crasher, Smasher, and some half-dozen more, bustled after Bragg; while the worthy master Mr. Puffington, Lumpleg, Washball, Crane, Guano, Shirker, and very many others, came pounding along the lane.
Sponge was here, you might think it a good time to ask him. 'His lordship knows he can come when he likes, replied Jawleyford, adding, 'it's to put that Mr. John Spraggon off, who thinks he may do the same. 'Mr. Spraggon! exclaimed both the young ladies. 'Mr. Spraggon! what should set him here? 'What, indeed? asked Jawleyford. 'Poor man! I dare say there's no harm in him, observed Mrs.
Sponge returned, all dirtied and stained, from the chase, he found his host sitting in an arm-chair over the study fire, dressing-gowned and slippered, with a pocket-handkerchief tied about his head, shamming illness, preparatory to putting off Mr. Spraggon.
