‘Well, gentlemen,’ said the stout man, ‘very glad to
see

clearance you.
Know you very well, gentlemen, though you
mayn’t remember me.
I spent some ev’nin’s at your club last
winter―picked up myfriend Mr. Tupman here this morning, and very glad I was to
see him. Well, sir, and how are you? You do look uncommon well, tobe
sure.’
Mr. Pickwick acknowledged the compliment, and cordiallyshook
hands with the stout gentleman in the top-boots.
‘Well, and how are
you, sir?’ said the stout gentleman,addressing Mr. Snodgrass with paternal
anxiety. ‘Charming, eh?
Well, that’s right―that’s right. And how are
you, sir (to

clearance Mr.
Winkle)? Well, I am glad to hear you say
you are well; very glad Iam, to be sure. My daughters, gentlemen―my gals these
are; andthat’s my sister, Miss Rachael Wardle. She’s a Miss, she is; and yetshe
ain’t a Miss―eh, sir, eh?’ And the stout gentleman playfullyinserted his elbow
between the ribs of Mr. Pickwick, and laughedvery heartily.
‘Lor,
brother!’ said Miss Wardle, with a deprecating smile.
‘True, true,’
said the stout gentleman; ‘no one can deny it.
Gentlemen, I beg your
pardon; this is my friend Mr.
cheap chanel bags Trundle. Andnow you
all know each other, let’s be comfortable and happy, andsee what’s going
forward; that’s what I say.’ So the stoutgentleman put on his spectacles, and
Mr. Pickwick pulled out hisglass, and everybody stood up in the carriage, and
looked oversomebody else’s shoulder at the evolutions of the military.
Astounding evolutions they were, one rank firing over theheads of another
rank, and then running away; and then the otherrank firing over the heads of
another rank, and running away intheir turn; and then forming

outlet squares, with officers in the centre;and then descending the
trench on one side with scaling-ladders,and ascending it on the other again by
the same means; andknocking down barricades of baskets, and behaving in the
mostgallant manner possible. Then there was such a ramming down ofthe contents
of enormous guns on the battery, with instrumentslike magnified mops; such a
preparation before they were let off,and such an awful noise when they did go,
that the air resoundedwith the screams of ladies. The young Misses Wardle
were

hold one ofthem up in the carriage, while Mr. Snodgrass supported the other;and
Mr. Wardle’s sister suffered under such a dreadful state ofnervous alarm, that
Mr. Tupman found it indispensably necessaryto put his arm round her waist, to
keep her up at all. Everybodywas excited, except the fat boy, and he slept as
soundly as if theroaring of cannon were his ordinary lullaby.
