When are they going to bury him?" "On Saturday, the day after to-morrow." "Why couldn't they do it to-morrow, so that we could get away before Sunday?" "He only died on Monday, George," said Kate, solemnly. "Psha! Who has got the will?" "Mr Gogram. He was here yesterday, and told me to tell you and uncle John that he would have it with him when he came back from the funeral."
Ah, my dear friends and intelligent British public, are there not others who are melancholy under a mask of gayety, and who, in the midst of crowds, are lonely? Liston was a most melancholy man; Grimaldi had feelings; and there are others I wot of: but psha! let us have the next chapter.
'What! my good friend, said Glossin, 'will you allow the prospect of a few weeks' confinement to depress your spirit? 'Yes, answered the ruffian, sullenly, 'when I am only to be released by a halter!
