Paris grew dull to us after this, and we were more eager than ever to go back to London: for what should we hear, but that that monster, Tuggeridge, of the City old Tug's black son, forsooth! was going to contest Jemmy's claim to the property, and had filed I don't know how many bills against us in Chancery!
Tuggeridge, we've ten miles to dinner. Madam, your very humble servant." And the whole posse of them rode away. We knew not what this meant, until we received a strange document from Higgs, in London which begun, "Middlesex to wit.

John Tuggeridge, and came to live in England, at Portland Place, and Tuggeridgeville, Surrey, and enjoy himself. All that he would condescend to do, was to take a few dozen of lavender-water from us in the course of the year, and to send his servants to be cut and shaved by us.
Bar's nose; Orlando seemed putrified to stone, with his irons fixed to Mr. Hock's head; our respective patients gave a wince out: Mrs. C., Jemimarann, and Tug, rushed from the back shop, and we formed a splendid tableau such as the great Cruikshank might have depicted.

Mr. Tuggeridge, her father, kept the famous tripe-shop near the "Pigtail and Sparrow," in the Whitechapel Road; from which place I married her; being myself very fond of the article, and especially when she served it to me the dear thing!
"Dearest mamma, don't you recollect Orlando?" whimpers Jemimarann, whose hand he had got hold of. "Miss Tuggeridge Coxe," says Jemmy, "I'm surprised of you. Remember, sir, that our position is altered, and oblige me by no more familiarity." "Insolent fellow!" says the Baron, "vat is dis canaille?"
