Now I ask you, my dear sir, not only as your legal adviser,but as your very true friend, will you let slip the occasion ofattaining all these objects, and doing all this good, for the paltryconsideration of a few pounds finding their way into the pockets of acouple of rascals, to whom it makes no manner of difference, except thatthe more they gain, the more they'll seek, and so the sooner be ledinto some piece of knavery that must end in a crash? I have put theseconsiderations to you, my dear Sir, very feebly and imperfectly, butI ask you to think of them.<>

When a porter had put his luggage in the coach, and received hisfare, he turned round and was gone; and before my uncle had well begunto wonder what had become of him, half a dozen fresh ones started up,and staggered along under the weight of parcels, which seemed big enoughto crush them.<>

---------------
Here's Ben; now then,jump in!'With these hurried words, Mr. Bob Sawyer pushed the postboy on one side,jerked his friend into the vehicle, slammed the door, put up the steps,wafered the bill on the street door, locked it, put the key in hispocket, jumped into the dickey, gave the word for starting, and did thewhole with such extraordinary precipitation, that before Mr. Pickwickhad well begun to consider whether Mr. Bob Sawyer ought to go or not,they were rolling away, with Mr. Bob Sawyer thoroughly established aspart and parcel of the equipage.<>
---------------
Before Sam could interpose, Mr. Bob Sawyer gracefully struck hiscolours, and having put them in his pocket, nodded in a courteous mannerto Mr. Pickwick, wiped the mouth of the case-bottle, and applied it tohis own, thereby informing him, without any unnecessary waste of words,that he devoted that draught to wishing him all manner of happiness andprosperity.<>
---------------
Tell them to put everything they have cold, on the table, and somebottled ale, and let us taste your very best Madeira.<>
---------------
Under the auspicesof the three, the bottled ale and the Madeira were promptly disposed of;and when (the horses being once more put to) they resumed their seats,with the case-bottle full of the best substitute for milk-punch thatcould be procured on so short a notice, the key-bugle sounded, and thered flag waved, without the slightest opposition on Mr. Pickwick's part.<>
---------------
The old gentleman methodically indorsed the address on the back of theletter; and then, placing it in the desk, which he locked, said, as hegot off the stool and put the bunch of keys in his pocket--'I suppose there is nothing else which need detain us, Mr. Pickwick?Nothing else, my dear Sir!' observed that warm-hearted person inindignant amazement.<>

So saying, he put his umbrellaunder his arm, drew off his right glove, and extended the hand ofreconciliation to that most indignant gentleman; who, thereupon, thrusthis hands beneath his coat tails, and eyed the attorney with looks ofscornful amazement.<>
