  〃For　heaven's　sake；　Mr。　Milligan〃（〃MULLIGAN；　ME　LARD；〃　cried　my
  defender）〃Well；　Mulligan；　then；　be　calm；　and　keep　to　your　brief。〃
  Mr。　Mulligan　did；　and　for　three　hours　and　a　quarter；　in　a　speech
  crammed　with　Latin　quotations；　and　unsurpassed　for　eloquence；　he
  explained　the　situation　of　me　and　my　family；　the　romantic　manner　in
  which　Tuggeridge　the　elder　gained　his　fortune；　and　by　which　it
  afterwards　came　to　my　wife；　the　state　of　Ireland；　the　original　and
  virtuous　poverty　of　the　Coxesfrom　which　he　glanced　passionately；
  for　a　few　minutes　（until　the　judge　stopped　him）；　to　the　poverty　of
  his　own　country；　my　excellence　as　a　husband；　father；　landlord；　my
  wife's；　as　a　wife；　mother；　landlady。　　All　was　in　vainthe　trial
  went　against　us。　　I　was　soon　taken　in　execution　for　the　damages；
  five　hundred　pounds　of　law　expenses　of　my　own；　and　as　much　more　of
  Tuggeridge's。　　He　would　not　pay　a　farthing；　he　said；　to　get　me　out
  of　a　much　worse　place　than　the　Fleet。　　I　need　not　tell　you　that
  along　with　the　land　went　the　house　in　town；　and　the　money　in　the
  funds。　　Tuggeridge；　he　who　had　thousands　before；　had　it　all。　　And
  when　I　was　in　prison；　who　do　you　think　would　come　and　see　me？
  None　of　the　Barons；　nor　Counts；　nor　Foreign　Ambassadors；　nor
  Excellencies；　who　used　to　fill　our　house；　and　eat　and　drink　at
  our　expense；not　even　the　ungrateful　Tagrag！
  I　could　not　help　now　saying　to　my　dear　wife；　〃See；　my　love；　we　have
  been　gentlefolks　for　exactly　a　year；　and　a　pretty　life　we　have　had
  of　it。　　In　the　first　place；　my　darling；　we　gave　grand　dinners；　and
  everybody　laughed　at　us。〃
  〃Yes；　and　recollect　how　ill　they　made　you；〃　cries　my　daughter。
  〃We　asked　great　company；　and　they　insulted　us。〃
  〃And　spoilt　mamma's　temper；〃　said　Jemimarann。
  〃Hush！　Miss；〃　said　her　mother；　〃we　don't　want　YOUR　advice。〃
  〃Then　you　must　make　a　country　gentleman　of　me。〃
  〃And　send　Pa　into　dunghills；〃　roared　Tug。
  〃Then　you　must　go　to　operas；　and　pick　up　foreign　Barons　and
  Counts。〃
  〃Oh；　thank　heaven；　dearest　papa；　that　we　are　rid　of　them；〃　cries　my
  little　Jemimarann；　looking　almost　happy；　and　kissing　her　old　pappy。
  〃And　you　must　make　a　fine　gentleman　of　Tug　there；　and　send　him　to　a
  fine　school。〃
  〃And　I　give　you　my　word；〃　says　Tug；　〃I'm　as　ignorant　a　chap　as　ever
  lived。〃
  〃You're　an　insolent　saucebox；〃　says　Jemmy；　〃you've　learned　that　at
  your　fine　school。〃
  〃I've　learned　something　else；　too；　ma'am；　ask　the　boys　if　I
  haven't；〃　grumbles　Tug。
  〃You　hawk　your　daughter　about；　and　just　escape　marrying　her　to　a
  swindler。〃
  〃And　drive　off　poor　Orlando；〃　whimpered　my　girl。
  〃Silence！　Miss；〃　says　Jemmy；　fiercely。
  〃You　insult　the　man　whose　father's　property　you　inherited；　and
  bring　me　into　this　prison；　without　hope　of　leaving　it：　for　he　never
  can　help　us　after　all　your　bad　language。〃　　I　said　all　this　very
  smartly；　for　the　fact　is；　my　blood　was　up　at　the　time；　and　I
  determined　to　rate　my　dear　girl　soundly。
  〃Oh！　Sammy；〃　said　she；　sobbing　（for　the　poor　thing's　spirit　was
  quite　broken）；　〃it's　all　true；　I've　been　very；　very　foolish　and
  vain；　and　I've　punished　my　dear　husband　and　children　by　my　follies；
  and　I　do　so；　so　repent　them！〃　　Here　Jemimarann　at　once　burst　out
  crying；　and　flung　herself　into　her　mamma's　arms；　and　the　pair
  roared　and　sobbed　for　ten　minutes　together。　　Even　Tug　looked　queer：
  and　as　for　me；　it's　a　most　extraordinary　thing；　but　I'm　blest　if
  seeing　them　so　miserable　didn't　make　me　quite　happy。I　don't
  think；　for　the　whole　twelve　months　of　our　good　fortune；　I　had　ever
  felt　so　gay　as　in　that　dismal　room　in　the　Fleet；　where　I　was　locked
  up。
  Poor　Orlando　Crump　came　to　see　us　every　day；　and　we；　who　had　never
  taken　the　slightest　notice　of　him　in　Portland　Place；　and　treated
  him　so　cruelly　that　day　at　Beulah　Spa；　were　only　too　glad　of　his
  company　now。　　He　used　to　bring　books　for　my　girl；　and　a　bottle　of
  sherry　for　me；　and　he　used　to　take　home　Jemmy's　fronts　and　dress
  them　for　her；　and　when　locking…up　time　came；　he　used　to　see　the
  ladies　home　to　their　little　three…pair　bedroom　in　Holborn；　where
  they　slept　now；　Tug　and　all。　　〃Can　the　bird　forget　its　nest？〃
  Orlando　used　to　say　（he　was　a　romantic　young　fellow；　that's　the
  truth；　and　blew　the　flute　and　read　Lord　Byron　incessantly；　since　he
  was　separated　from　Jemimarann）。　　〃Can　the　bird；　let　loose　in
  eastern　climes；　forget　its　home？　　Can　the　rose　cease　to　remember
  its　beloved　bulbul？Ah；　no！　Mr。　Cox；　you　made　me　what　I　am；　and
  what　I　hope　to　diea　hairdresser。　　I　never　see　a　curling…irons
  before　I　entered　your　shop；　or　knew　Naples　from　brown　Windsor。　　Did
  you　not　make　over　your　house；　your　furniture；　your　emporium　of
  perfumery；　and　nine…and…twenty　shaving　customers；　to　me？　　Are　these
  trifles？　　Is　Jemimarann　a　trifle？　if　she　would　allow　me　to　call　her
  so。　　Oh；　Jemimarann；　your　Pa　found　me　in　the　workhouse；　and　made　me
  what　I　am。　　Conduct　me　to　my　grave；　and　I　never；　never　shall　be
  different！〃　　When　he　had　said　this；　Orlando　was　so　much　affected；
  that　he　rushed　suddenly　on　his　hat　and　quitted　the　room。
  Then　Jemimarann　began　to　cry　too。　　〃Oh；　Pa！〃　said　she；　〃isn't　he
  isn't　he　a　nice　young　man？〃
  〃I'm　HANGED　if　he　ain't；〃　says　Tug。　　〃What　do　you　think　of　his
  giving　me　eighteenpence　yesterday；　and　a　bottle　of　lavender…water
  for　Mimarann？〃
  〃He　might　as　well　offer　to　give　you　back　the　shop　at　any　rate；〃
  says　Jemmy。
  〃What！　to　pay　Tuggeridge's　damages？　　My　dear；　I'd　sooner　die　than
  give　Tuggeridge　the　chance。〃
  FAMILY　BUSTLE。
  Tuggeridge　vowed　that　I　should　finish　my　days　there；　when　he　put　me
  in　prison。　　It　appears　that　we　both　had　reason　to　be　ashamed　of
  ourselves；　and　were；　thank　God！　　I　learned　to　be　sorry　for　my　bad
  feelings　toward　him；　and　he　actually　wrote　to　me　to　say
  〃SIR；I　think　you　have　suffered　enough　for　faults　which；　I
  believe；　do　not　lie　with　you；　so　much　as　your　wife；　and　I　have
  withdrawn　my　claims　which　I　had　against　you　while　you　were　in
  wrongful　possession　of　my　father's　estates。　　You　must　remember　that
  when；　on　examination　of　my　father's　papers；　no　will　was　found；　I
  yielded　up　his　property；　with　perfect　willingness；　to　those　who　I
  fancied　were　his　legitimate　heirs。　　For　this　I　received　all　sorts
  of　insults　from　your　wife　and　yourself　（who　acquiesced　in　them）；
  and　when　the　discovery　of　a　will；　in　India；　proved　MY　just　claims；
  you　must　remember　how　they　were　met；　and　the　vexatious　proceedings
  with　which　you　sought　to　oppose　them。
  〃I　have　discharged　your　lawyer's　bill；　and；　as　I　believe　you　are
  more　fitted　for　the　trade　you　formerly　exercised　than　for　any
  other；　I　will　give　five　hundred　pounds　for　the　purchase　of　a　stock
  and　shop；　when　you　shall　find　one　to　suit　you。
  〃I　enclose　a　draft　for　twenty　pounds　to　meet　your　present　expenses。
  You　have；　I　am　told；　a　son；　a　boy　of　some　spirit：　if　he　likes　to
  try　his　fortune　abroad；　and　go　on　board　an　Indiaman；　I　can　get　him
  an　appointment；　and　am；　Sir；　your　obedient　servant；
  〃JOHN　TUGGERIDGE〃
  It　was　Mrs。　Breadbasket；　the　housekeeper；　who　brought　this　letter；
  and　looked　mighty　contemptuous　as　she　gave　it。
  〃I　hope；　Breadbasket；　that　your　master　will　send　me　my　things　at
  any　rate；〃　cries　Jemmy。　　〃There's　seventeen　silk　and　satin　dresses；
  and　a　whole　heap　of　trinkets；　that　can　be　of　no　earthly　use　to
  him。〃
  〃Don't　Breadbasket　me；　mem；　if　you　please；　mem。　　My　master　says
  that　them　things　is　quite　obnoxious　to　your　sphere　of　life。
  Breadbasket；　indeed！〃　　And　so　she　sailed　out。
  Jemmy　hadn't　a　word；　she　had　grown　mighty　quiet　since　we　have　been
  in　misfortune：　but　my　daughter　looked　as　happy　as　a　queen；　and　Tug；
  when　he　heard　of　the　ship；　gave　a　jump　that　nearly　knocked　down
  poor　Orlando。　　〃Ah；　I　suppose　you'll　forget　me　now？〃　says　he　with　a
  sigh；　and　seemed　the　only　unhappy　person　in　company。
  〃Why；　you　conceive；　Mr。　Crump；〃　says　my　wife；　with　a　great　deal　of
  dignity；　〃that；　connected　as　we　are；　a　young　man　born　in　a　work〃
