talk was of railroad lines。 His desk at Mr。 Bluebag's was filled
full of prospectisises�察�and that legal gent wrote to Fred's uncle��
to say he feared he was neglectin his bisniss。
;Alass� �he WAS neglectin it�察�and all his sober and industerous
habits。 He begann to give dinners�察�and thought nothin of partys to
Greenwich or Richmond。 He didn't see his Hemily near so often��

solemn word of honor not to breathe to mortal man what I am going

;'Honor bright��' says Fred。
;'HUDSON HAS JOINED THE LINE。' Fred didn't say a word more�察�but
went tumbling down to the City in his Broom。 You know the state of
the streets。 Claw WENT BY WATER。
;'Buy me one thousand Hafricans for the 30th��' cries Fred�察�busting
into his broker's�察�and they were done for him at 4 7/8。

Brittn�察�my jewty compels me to come forwoods�察�and igspress my
opinion upon that NASHNAL NEWSANCEthe break of Gage。
;An interesting ewent in a noble family with which I once very
nearly had the honor of being kinected�察�acurd a few weex sins�察�when
the Lady Angelina S�察�daughter of the Earl of Bcres��
presented the gallant Capting�察�her usband�察�with a Son & hair。
Nothink would satasfy her Ladyship but that her old and attacht
famdyshamber�察�my wife Mary Hann Plush�察�should be presnt upon this
hospicious occasion。 Captain S was not jellus of me on account
of my former attachment to his Lady。 I cunsented that my Mary Hann
should attend her�察�and me�察�my wife�察�and our dear babby acawdingly
set out for our noable frend's residence�察�Honeymoon Lodge�察�near
Cheltenham。
;Sick of all Railroads myself�察�I wisht to poast it in a Chay and 4��
but Mary Hann�察�with the hobstenacy of her Sex�察�was bent upon
Railroad travelling�察�and I yealded�察�like all husbinds。 We set out
by the Great Westn�察�in an eavle Hour。
;We didnt take much luggitchmy wife's things in the ushal
bandboxesmine in a potmancho。 Our dear little James Angelo's
��called so in complament to his noble Godmamma�� craddle�察�and a
small supply of a few 100 weight of Topsanbawtems�察�Farinashious
food�察�and Lady's fingers�察�for that dear child�察�who is now 6 months
old�察�with a PERDIDGUS APPATITE。 Likewise we were charged with
a bran new Medsan chest for my lady�察�from Skivary & Morris��
containing enough Rewbub�察�Daffy's Alixir�察�Godfrey's cawdle�察�with
a few score of parsles for Lady Hangelina's family and owsehold��
about 2000 spessymins of Babby linning from Mrs。 Flummary's in
Regent Street�察�a Chayny Cresning bowl from old Lady Bareacres ��big
enough to immus a Halderman���察�& a case marked 'Glass��' from her
ladyship's meddicle man�察�which were stowed away together�察�had to
this an ormylew Cradle�察�with rose´colored Satting & Pink lace
hangings�察�held up by a gold tuttle´dove�察�&c。 We had�察�ingluding
James Hangelo's rattle & my umbrellow�察�73 packidges in all。
;We got on very well as far as Swindon�察�where�察�in the Splendid
Refreshment room�察�there was a galaxy of lovely gals in cottn velvet
spencers�察�who serves out the soop�察�and 1 of whom maid an impresshn
upon this Art which I shoodn't like Mary Hann to knowand here�察�to
our infanit disgust�察�we changed carridges。 I forgot to say that we
were in the seeknd class�察�having with us James Hangelo�察�and 23
other light harticles。
;Fust inconveniance�此�and almost as bad as break of gage。 I cast my
hi upon the gal in cottn velvet�察�and wanted some soop�察�of coarse��
but seasing up James Hangelo ��who was layin his dear little pors on
an Am Sangwidg�� and seeing my igspresshn of hi'James��' says Mary
Hann�察�'instead of looking at that young ladyand not so VERY young
neitherbe pleased to look to our packidges�察�& place them in the
other carridge。' I did so with an evy Art。 I eranged them 23
articles in the opsit carridg�察�only missing my umberella & baby's
rattle�察�and jest as I came back for my baysn of soop�察�the beast of
a bell rings�察�the whizzling injians proclayms the time of our
departure��& farewell soop and cottn velvet。 Mary Hann was sulky。
She said it was my losing the umberella。 If it had been a COTTON
VELVET UMBERELLA I could have understood。 James Hangelo sittn on
my knee was evidently unwell�察�without his coral�此�& for 20 miles
that blessid babby kep up a rawring�察�which caused all the
passingers to simpithize with him igseedingly。
;We arrive at Gloster�察�and there fansy my disgust at bein ableeged
to undergo another change of carridges� �Fansy me holding up
moughs�察�tippits�察�cloaks�察�and baskits�察�and James Hangelo rawring
still like mad�察�and pretending to shuperintend the carrying over of
our luggage from the broad gage to the narrow gage。 'Mary Hann��'
says I�察�rot to desperation�察�'I shall throttle this darling if he
goes on。' 'Do��' says she'and GO INTO THE REFRESHMENT room��' says
shea snatchin the babby out of my arms。 Do go��' says she�察�youre
not fit to look after luggage��' and she began lulling James Hangelo
to sleep with one hi�察�while she looked after the packets with the
other。 Now�察�Sir� �if you please�察�mind that packet��pretty darling
easy with that box�察�Sir�察�its glasspooooty poppetwhere's the
deal case�察�marked arrowroot�察�No。 24��' she cried�察�reading out of a
list she had。And poor little James went to sleep。 The porters
were bundling and carting the various harticles with no more
ceremony than if each package had been of cannonball。
;At lastbang goes a package marked 'Glass��' and containing the
Chayny bowl and Lady Bareacres' mixture�察�into a large white
bandbox�察�with a crash and a smash。 'It's My Lady's box from
Crinoline's��' cries Mary Hann�察�and she puts down the child on the
bench�察�and rushes forward to inspect the dammidge。 You could hear
the Chayny bowls clinking inside�察�and Lady B。's mixture ��which had
the igsack smell of cherry brandy�� was dribbling out over the
smashed bandbox containing a white child's cloak�察�trimmed with
Blown lace and lined with white satting。
;As James was asleep�察�and I was by this time uncommon hungry�察�I
thought I WOULD go into the Refreshment Room and just take a little
soup�察�so I wrapped him up in his cloak and laid him by his mamma��
and went off。 There's not near such good attendance as at Swindon。
。 。 。 。 。 。
;We took our places in the carriage in the dark�察�both of us covered
with a pile of packages�察�and Mary Hann so sulky that she would not
speak for some minutes。 At last she spoke out
;'Have you all the small parcels��'
;'Twenty´three in all��' says I。
;'Then give me baby。'
;'Give you what��' says I。
;'Give me baby。'
;'What�察�haven't y´y´yoooo got him��' says I。
。 。 。 。 。 。
