Humm, holding up his hand in a deprecatory manner, to bespeak the silence of such of the stout old ladies as were yet a line or two behind; 'my friends, a delegate from the Dorking Branch of our society, Brother Stiggins, attends below. Out came the pocket-handkerchiefs again, in greater force than ever; for Mr. Stiggins was excessively popular among the female constituency of Brick Lane.
Stannard's making prompt and spirited expression of her utter disbelief in them, the good lady had lifted her eyes in pathetic appeal to heaven that so mercifully enables us to bear the tribulations that befall our friends, and groaned, a veritable Stiggins in skirts.
'Are you unwell, Brother Stiggins? whispered Mr. Anthony Humm. 'I am all right, Sir, replied Mr. Stiggins, in a tone in which ferocity was blended with an extreme thickness of utterance; 'I am all right, Sir. 'Oh, very well, rejoined Mr. Anthony Humm, retreating a few paces. 'I believe no man here has ventured to say that I am not all right, Sir? said Mr. Stiggins.
Stiggins, breaking the silence, in a very low voice, 'here's a sorrowful affliction! Sam nodded very slightly. 'For the man of wrath, too! added Mr. Stiggins; 'it makes a vessel's heart bleed! Mr. Weller was overheard by his son to murmur something relative to making a vessel's nose bleed; but Mr. Stiggins heard him not. 'Do you know, young man, whispered Mr.
Stiggins 'if there is any one of them less odious than another, it is the liquor called rum. Warm, my dear young friend, with three lumps of sugar to the tumbler. 'Wery sorry to say, sir, said Sam, 'that they don't allow that particular wanity to be sold in this here establishment. 'Oh, the hardness of heart of these inveterate men! ejaculated Mr. Stiggins.
'Don't you see you've hit the gen'l'm'n? 'I didn't go to do it, Sammy, said Mr. Weller, in some degree abashed by the very unexpected occurrence of the incident. 'Try an in'ard application, sir, said Sam, as the red-nosed gentleman rubbed his head with a rueful visage. 'Wot do you think o' that, for a go o' wanity, warm, Sir? Mr. Stiggins made no verbal answer, but his manner was expressive.
Stiggins looked slily at Sam; glanced at the old gentleman, who was sitting with his eyes closed, as if asleep; and drawing his chair still nearer, said 'Nothing for ME, Mr. Samuel? Sam shook his head. 'I think there's something, said Stiggins, turning as pale as he could turn. 'Consider, Mr. Samuel; no little token? 'Not so much as the vorth o' that 'ere old umberella o' yourn, replied Sam.
At the late election the cow election the candidates were Brown, Conservative, and Stiggins, Liberal. The day after the polling a farm labourer was asked how he filled up his voting paper.
The meeting looked at each other with raised eyelids; and a murmur of astonishment ran through the room. 'It's my opinion, sir, said Mr. Stiggins, unbuttoning his coat, and speaking very loudly 'it's my opinion, sir, that this meeting is drunk, sir. Brother Tadger, sir! said Mr.
Raddle insisted that her husband should get up and knock every one of the guests down stairs, while Jack Hopkins offered to go upstairs and "pitch into the landlord." At the Brick Lane meeting, Brother Stiggins, intoxicated, knocked Brother Tadger down the stairs, while old Weller violently assaulted Stiggins.
