Tupman, which was brought up to my bedroom door, this morning in which he requests us to join him at Bury to-day; and we are to leave by the coach at noon. 'But you will come back? said Mrs. Pott. 'Oh, certainly, replied Mr. Winkle. 'You are quite sure? said Mrs. Pott, stealing a tender look at her visitor. 'Quite, responded Mr. Winkle.
The crowds were always respectful, listened and asked questions. Much literature was given out. A Political Equality League of Self Supporting Women, a branch of the one in New York organized by Mrs. Stanton Blatch, was formed by Mrs. Mina Van Winkle, later called Women's Political Union. At the January board meeting in 1910 Mrs. Ulilla L. Decker was made chairman of organization and Mrs.
Assured of their proximity, the fat little fellow pawed the air with rage. "Ever see such rotten luck? Spoiled the whole scene. Say, you Rip Van Winkle, think we came out here for the ozone?" One of the men joined the young woman, who was assisting the villain Yeager had knocked out. The others crowded around him in excitement, all expostulating at once.
Pickwick; and, after minutely inspecting that gentleman's appearance, from the crown of his hat to the lowest button of his gaiters, replied emphatically 'No! 'Nor any gentleman of the name of Snodgrass? inquired Mr. Pickwick. 'No! 'Nor Winkle? 'No! 'My friends have not arrived to-day, Sir, said Mr. Pickwick. 'We will dine alone, then. Show us a private room, waiter.
Pinkie Whiskers ran to Winkle and Twinkle. He was so frightened that he hid behind them.

They are as gentle and timid as they are beautiful."
The animal may or may not be captured; but the fact is duly chronicled in the local newspapers, and people wonder for a season over the phenomenon of a veritable Rip Van Winkle of a frog, which to all appearance, has lived for "thousands of years in the solid rock."

As Sam spoke, Mr. Pickwick, by exertions almost supernatural in a gentleman of his years and weight, contrived to get upon Sam's back; and Sam gently raising himself up, and Mr. Pickwick holding on fast by the top of the wall, while Mr. Winkle clasped him tight by the legs, they contrived by these means to bring his spectacles just above the level of the coping.

Then the great actor gave his coat a hitch and his mouth a twitch, and in an instant I was in the village of Falling Water and felt Schneider's shaggy head against my knee. Mr. Jefferson recited the best dialogues of "Rip Van Winkle," in which the tear came close upon the smile. He asked me to indicate as far as I could the gestures and action that should go with the lines.
Burton and his friends struggled for a season, but Jefferson completely knocked them out. Even had Burton lived, and had there been no diverting war of sections to drown all else, Jefferson would have come to his growth and taken his place as the first serio-comic actor of his time.
