With such conversation, possessing the inestimable charm of blending amusement with instruction, did Mr. Weller beguile the tediousness of the journey, during the greater part of the day. Topics of conversation were never wanting, for even when any pause occurred in Mr. Weller's loquacity, it was abundantly supplied by the desire evinced by Mr.

Mr. Weller's first act, on hearing this concession, was to despatch Job Trotter to the illustrious Mr.
Weller, 'this here's a pretty sort o' thing to come to a father's ears, this is! 'I have observed them on several occasions, said Mr. Pickwick, making no comment on Mr. Weller's last remark; 'and entertain no doubt at all about it.
