The Pickwick Club (as might have been expected from soenlightened authentic damier canvas bags for cheap an institution) received this statement with thecontempt it deserved, expelled the presumptuous and ill-conditioned Blotton from the society, and voted Mr. Pickwick apair of gold spectacles, in token of their confidence andapprobation: in return for which, Mr. Pickwick caused a portrait ofhimself to be painted, and hung up in the club room.
     　　Mr. Blotton was ejected but not conquered. He also wrote apamphlet, addressed to the seventeen learned societies, native andforeign, containing a repetition of the statement he had alreadymade, louis vuitton azur canvas bag outlet and rather more than half intimating his opinion that theseventeen learned societies were so many ‘humbugs.’ Hereupon,the virtuous indignation of the seventeen learned societies beingroused, several fresh pamphlets appeared; the foreign learnedsocieties corresponded with the native learned societies; the nativelearned societies translated the pamphlets of the foreign learnedsocieties into English; the foreign learned societies translated thepamphlets of the native learned societies into all sorts oflanguages; and thus commenced that celebrated scientificdiscussion so well known to all men, as the louis vuitton damier azur canvas bags Pickwick controversy.
     　　But this base attempt to injure Mr. Pickwick recoiled upon thehead of its calumnious author. The seventeen learned societiesunanimously voted the presumptuous Blotton an ignorantmeddler, and forthwith set to work upon more treatises than ever.
     　　And to this day the stone remains, an illegible monument of Mr.
     　　Pickwick’s greatness, and a lasting trophy to the littleness of hisenemies.
