第129章

"Too much!" echoed Sam."I think it is too much--rayther! Now what have you got to say to me, eh?"Mr.Trotter made no reply; for the little pink pocket-handkerchief was in full force.

"What have you got to say to me, afore I knock your head off?" repeated Mr.Weller, in a threatening manner.

"Eh!" said Mr.Trotter, with a look of virtuous surprise.

"What have you got to say to me?"

"I, Mr.Walker!"

"Don't call me Valker; my name's Veller; you know that vell enough.

What have you got to say to me?"

"Bless you, Mr.Walker--Walker I mean--a great many things, if you will come away somewhere, where we can talk comfortably.If you knew how I have looked for you, Mr.Weller--""Wery hard, indeed, I s'pose?" said Sam, drily.

"Very, very, sir," replied Mr.Trotter, without moving a muscle of his face."But shake hands, Mr.Weller."Sam eyed his companion for a few seconds, and then, as if actuated by a sudden impulse, complied with his request.

"How," said Job Trotter, as they walked away, "How is your dear, good master? Oh, he is a worthy gentleman, Mr.Weller! I hope he didn't catch cold, that dreadful night, sir."There was a momentary look of deep slyness in Job Trotter's eye, as he said this, which ran a thrill through Mr.Weller's clenched fist as he burnt with a desire to make a demonstration on his ribs.Sam constrained himself, however, and replied that his master was extremely well.

"Oh, I am so glad," replied Mr.Trotter, "is he here?""Is your'n?" asked Sam, by way of reply.

"Oh, yes, he is here, and I grieve to say, Mr.Weller, he is going on, worse than ever.""Ah, ah?" said Sam.

"Oh, shocking--terrible!"

"At a boarding-school?" said Sam.

"No, not at a boarding-school," replied Job Trotter, with the same sly look which Sam had noticed before; "Not at a boarding-school.""At the house with the green gate?" said Sam, eyeing his companion closely.

"No, no--oh, not there," replied Job, with a quickness very unusual to him, "not there.""What was you a dom' there?" asked Sam, with a sharp glance.

"Got inside the gate by accident, perhaps?""Why, Mr.Weller," replied Job, "I don't mind telling you my little secrets, because, you know, we took such a fancy for each other when we first met.You recollect how pleasant we were that morning?""Oh yes," said Sam, impatiently."I remember.Well.""Well," replied Job, speaking with great precision, and in the low tone of a man who communicates an important secret; "in that house with the green gate, Mr.Weller, they keep a good many servants.""So I should think, from the look on it," interposed Sam.

"Yes," continued Mr.Trotter, "and one of them is a cook, who has saved up a little money, Mr.Weller, and is desirous, if she can establish herself in life, to open a little shop in the chandlery way, you see.""Yes."
