Do you know he asked me if you were not related to us? and I said, 'Oh, yes, you were." "Fanny!" says Lady Jane. "Well," answered the other, "did not Grandmamma say Mr. Titmarsh was her cousin?" "But you know that Grandmamma's memory is not very good." "Indeed, you're wrong, Lady Jane," says my Lord; "I think it's prodigious." "Yes, but not very not very accurate."
"And without security, sir, of course can expect no money of course not. You are a man of the world, Mr. Titmarsh, and I see our notions exactly agree." "There's his wife's property," says Gus. "Wife's property? Bah! Mrs. Sam Titmarsh is a minor, and can't touch a shilling of it. No, no, no meddling with minors for me! But stop! your mother has a house and shop in our village.
And then, it is well worth fourpence to laugh once a week. I do recommend 'Punch' to you. Douglas Jerrold is the editor, I fancy, and he has a troop of 'wits, such as Planché, Titmarsh, and the author of 'Little Peddlington, to support him.... Now I have written enough to tire you, I am sure. May God bless you both!
Sam Titmarsh related the circumstances which had occurred, and how Mrs. Hoggarty had been whisked away to Fulham in Mr. Brough's splendid carriage-and-four. "Let her go," I am sorry to say, said I; and indeed we relished our veal-cutlets and jam-pudding a great deal more than Mrs. Hoggarty did her dinner off plate at the Rookery.
'You are a man of the world, Titmarsh, said he; 'you know that I don't give you this place because you are an honest fellow, and write a good hand. If I had a lesser bribe to offer you at the moment, I should only have given you that; but I had no choice, and gave you what was in my power." "That's fair enough; but what can make Brough so eager for such a small sum as three thousand pounds?"
Lytton was a favourite subject of abuse to his contemporaries. MR. TITMARSH, in Switzerland, to MR. YORKE
Sam Titmarsh that is to be may have seven per cent. for her money at the very least, and on better security than the Bank of England; for is not a Company of which John Brough is the head better than any other company in England?" and to be sure I thought he was not far wrong, and promised to speak to Mary's guardians on the subject before our marriage.
"You see, Tit my boy, I'm a connyshure, and up to snough; and if ever I see a lady in my life, Mrs. Titmarsh is one. I can't be fimiliar with her I've tried " "Have you, sir?" said I. "Don't look so indignant! I can't, I say, be fimiliar with her as I am with you.
Hoggarty of Castle Hoggarty," said I, raising my voice; for I was a little proud of Castle Hoggarty. "She must be very rich to make such presents, Titmarsh?" "Why, thank you, sir," says I, "she is pretty well off. Four hundred a year jointure; a farm at Slopperton, sir; three houses at Squashtail; and three thousand two hundred loose cash at the banker's, as I happen to know, sir, that's all."
"A nurse came out of her Ladyship's room with her; and while my Lady was talking to us, walked up and down in the next room with something in her arms. "First, my Lady spoke to Mrs. Horner, and then to Mrs. T.; but all the while she was talking, Mrs. Titmarsh, rather rudely, as I thought, ma'am, was looking into the next room: looking looking at the baby there with all her might.
