^With a couple of sticks。 When! ̄
^When you stops察you know察院cries Phil察putting down his cup
and saucer察 and hastily removing his plate from his knees察 and
says to me察 What察comrade You have been in the wars I didn¨t
say much to you察commander察then察for I was took by surprise察that
a person so strong and healthy and bold as you was察should stop to
speak to such a limping bag of bones as I was。 But you says to me察
says you察 delivering it out of your chest as hearty as possible察 so
that it was like a glass of something hot察 What accident have you
met with拭 You have been badly hurt。 What¨s amiss察 old boy拭
Cheer up察and tell us about it Cheer up I was cheered already I
says as much to you察you says more to me察I says more to you察you
says more to me察 and here I am察 commander Here I am察
commander 院 cries Phil察 who has started from his chair and
unaccountably begun to sidle away。 ^If a mark¨s wanted察 or if it
will improve the business察let the customers take aim at me。 They
can¨t spoil my beauty。 I¨m all right。 Come on If they want a man to
box at察let ¨em box at me。 Let ¨em knock me well about the head。 I
don¨t mind If they want a light´weight察to be throwed for practice察

Cornwall察 Devonshire察 or Lancashire察 let ¨em throw me。 They
won¨t hurt me。 I have been throwed察all sorts of styles察all my life 院
With this unexpected speech察 energetically delivered察 and
accompanied by action illustrative of the various exercises
referred to察Phil Squod shoulders his way round three sides of the
gallery察and abruptly tacking off at his commander察makes a butt
at him with his head察intended to express devotion to his service。
He then begins to clear away the breakfast。
Mr George察after laughing cheerfully察and clapping him on the
shoulder察 assists in these arrangements察 and helps to get the
gallery into business order。 That done察 he takes a turn at the
dumbbells察and afterwards weighing himself察and opining that he
is getting ^too fleshy察院 engages with great gravity in solitary
broadsword practice。 Meanwhile察 Phil has fallen to work at his
usual table察where he screws and unscrews察and cleans察and files察
and whistles into small apertures察and blackens himself more and
more察and seems to do and undo everything that can be done and
undone about a gun。
Master and man are at length disturbed by footsteps in the
passage察where they make an unusual sound察denoting the arrival
of unusual company。 These steps察advancing nearer and nearer to
the gallery察bring into it a group察at first sight scarcely reconcilable
with any day in the year but the fifth of November。
It consists of a limp and ugly figure carried in a chair by two
bearers察and attended by a lean female with a face like a pinched
mask察 who might be expected immediately to recite the popular
verses察commemorative of the time when they did contrive to blow
Old England up alive察but for keeping her lips tightly and defiantly
closed as the chair is put down。 At which point察 the figure in it

gasping察 O Lord O dear me I am shaken 院adds察 How de do察my
dear friend察 how de do拭院 Mr George then descries察 in the
procession察 the venerable Mr Smallweed out for an airing察
attended by his grand´daughter Judy as bodyguard。
^Mr George察 my dear friend察院 says Grandfather Smallweed察
removing his right arm from the neck of one his bearers察whom he
has nearly throttled coming along察 how de do拭You¨re surprised
to see me察my dear friend。 ̄
^I should hardly have been more surprised to have seen your
friend in the city察院returns Mr George。
^I am very seldom out察院pants Mr Smallweed。 ^I haven¨t been
out for many months。 It¨s inconvenient!and it comes expensive。
But I longed so much to see you察my dear Mr George。 How de do察
sir拭院
^I am well enough察院says Mr George。 ^I hope you are the same。 ̄
^You can¨t be too well察 my dear friend。 ̄ Mr Smallweed takes
him by both hands。 ^I have brought my grand´daughter Judy。 I
couldn¨t keep her away。 She longed so much to see you。 ̄
^Humph She bears it calmly 院mutters Mr George。
^So we got a hackney cab察and put a chair in it察and just round
the corner they lifted me out of the cab and into the chair察 and
carried me here察 that I might see my dear friend in his own
establishment This察院says Grandfather Smallweed察alluding to the
bearer察 who has been in danger of strangulation察 and who
withdraws adjusting his windpipe察 is the driver of the cab。 He has
nothing extra。 It is by agreement included in his fare。 This
person察院the other bearer察 we engaged in the street outside for a
pint of beer。 Which is twopence。 Judy察give the person twopence。 I
was not sure you had a workman of your own here察 my dear

friend察or we needn¨t have employed this person。 ̄
Grandfather Smallweed refers to Phil察 with a glance of
considerable terror察and a half´subdued ^O Lord O dear me 院Nor
is his apprehension察on the surface of things察without some reason察
for Phil察who has never beheld the apparition in the black velvet
cap before察has stopped short with a gun in his hand察with much of
the air of a dead shot察 intent on picking Mr Smallweed off as an
ugly old bird of the crow species。
^Judy察 my child察院 says Grandfather Smallweed察 give the
person his twopence。 It¨s a great deal for what he has done。 ̄
The person察 who is one of those extraordinary specimens察 of
human fungus that spring up spontaneously in the western streets
of London察ready dressed in an old red jacket察with a ^Mission ̄ for
holding horses and calling coaches察 receives his twopence with
anything but transport察 tosses the money into the air察 catches it
overhanded察and retires。
^My dear Mr George察院 says Grandfather Smallweed察 would
you be so kind as to help to carry me to the fire拭I am accustomed
to a fire察and I am an old man察and I soon chill。 O dear me 院
His closing exclamation is jerked out of the venerable
gentleman by the suddenness with which Mr Squod察like a genie察
catches him up察 chair and all察 and deposits him on the hearth´
stone。
^O Lord 院 says Mr Smallweed察 panting。 ^O dear me O my
stars My dear friend察 your workman is very strong!and very
prompt。 O Lord察 he is very prompt Judy察 draw me back a little。
I¨m being scorched in the legs察院 which indeed is
