Winkle and Mr. Snodgrass, as he encountered those gentlemen onhis chanel bags outlet return from his early walk. The pleasure was mutual; for whocould ever gaze on Mr. Pickwick’s beaming face withoutexperiencing the sensation? But still a cloud seemed to hang overhis companions which that great man could not but be sensible of,and was wholly at a loss to account for.

     　　A Mr. Winkle, to whom the question was more peculiarlyaddressed, made no reply. He turned away his head, and appearedabsorbed in melancholy reflection.
     　　‘Snodgrass,’ said Mr. Pickwick earnestly, ‘how is our friend―heis not ill?’
     　　‘No,’ replied Mr. Snodgrass; and a tear trembled on hissentimental eyelid, like a rain-drop on a window-frame-’no; he isnot ill.’

He shortlyafterwards disappeared: he was missing during the whole day, andin the evening this letter was brought by the hostler from theCrown, at Muggleton.

I hope you never may.
