Well, continued he, having apparently pondered all that over in his mind, 'I must trouble you to let me look at your ticker, said he, turning short round on his neighbour. 'There, said Mr. Pacey, producing a fine flash watch from his waistcoat-pocket, and holding it to Jack. 'The chain's included in the challenge, mind, observed Sponge.
He belonged to the poet's club, for the former Browns had been conspicuous, though Sammy had been vulgarized by Business. He had no tears for departed Romance. The song of the ticker was the one that reached his heart, and when it came to matters equine and batting scores he was something of a pink edition. He loved to sit in the leather armchair by Ravenel's window.
He came out to the door, and I handed him his ticker. He asked me to come in, and told me to say nothing about it, and if he could ever do me a favor he would do so. I did a good thing for myself that night, for it was but a short time after that until I was arrested and taken before his Honor.
