'Sir, replied Sam, 'you're wery kind to say so. I hope my natur is NOT a soft vun, Sir. Wery much obliged to you for your good opinion, Sir.
Primrose is a good man, the best we have in your English fiction, but odd and amusing rather than otherwise. Then Dickens has given us Chadband and Stiggins, and you Charles Honeyman.
Stiggins was easily prevailed on to take another glass of the hot pine-apple rum-and-water, and a second, and a third, and then to refresh himself with a slight supper, previous to beginning again. He sat on the same side as Mr.
I have not the least idea what this means, but I am none the less interested. For, although void of sense, the alderman's words allow me to look down a long line of illustrious ancestry Prud'homme, Chadband, Stiggins, Phillion, the apothecary Homais in "Madame Bovary".

But we have not solved the normal and popular problem until we have an international reconciliation of all nationalists. It is very difficult to see how humour can be translated at all. When Sam Weller is in the Fleet Prison and Mrs. Weller and Mr. Stiggins sit on each side of the fireplace and weep and groan with sympathy, old Mr.
'Oh, certainly not, said Mr. Humm. 'I should advise him not to, Sir; I should advise him not, said Mr. Stiggins. By this time the audience were perfectly silent, and waited with some anxiety for the resumption of business. 'Will you address the meeting, brother? said Mr. Humm, with a smile of invitation. 'No, sir, rejoined Mr. Stiggins; 'No, sir. I will not, sir.

The dream of life was accomplished, the labourer had a vote, and irony he voted exactly opposite to his intent.
