LITTLE DORRIT.
To her own room too, strangely assorted room for her delicate youth and
character, she was glad to retreat as often as she could without desertion of
any duty. There were afternoon times when she was unemployed, when
visitors dropped in to play a hand at cards with her father, when she could
be spared, and was better away. Then she would flit along the yard, climb
the scores of stairs that led to her room, and take her seat at the window.
A garret, and a Marshalsea garret without compromise, was Little Dorrit's
room. Beautifully kept, it was ugly in itself, and had little but cleanliness
and air to set it off; for what embellishment she had ever been able to buy
had gone to her father's room. Howbeit, for this poor place she showed an
increasing love, and to sit in it alone became her favourite rest.—LITTLE
DoRRIT.

MR. HENRY IRVING AS ALFRED JINGLE.
MR. ALFRED JINGLE is thus described in the second chapter of “Pickwick,”
on his first introduction to that celebrated club :
“He was about the middle height, but the thinness of his body and the
length of his legs gave him the appearance of being much taller. The
green coat had been a smart dress garment in the days of swallow-
tails. . . . . . It was buttoned closely up to his chin at the imminent
hazard of splitting the back, and an old stock with the vestige of a short
collar ornamented his neck. His scanty black trousers displayed here and
there those shiny patches which bespeak long service, and were strapped
very tightly over a pair of patched and mended shoes, as if to conceal the
dirty white stockings, which were, nevertheless, distinctly visible. His long
black hair escaped in negligent waves from beneath each side of his old
pinched up hat. . . . . . His face was thin and haggard, but an in-
describable air of jaunty impudence and perfect self-possession pervaded the
whole man.”—PICKw[CK PAPERS.

MRS. GAMP ON THE ART OF NURSING.
A TRAY was brought with everything upon it, even to the cucumber ; and
Mrs. Gamp accordingly sat down to eat and drink in high good-humor.
The extent to which she availed herself of the vinegar and supped up that
refreshing fluid with the blade of her knife can scarcely be expressed in
narrative.
“Ah !” sighed Mrs. Gamp, as she meditated over the warm shilling's
worth of gin, “what a blessed thing it is—living in this wale—to be con-
tented ! What a blessed thing it is to make sick people happy in their beds,
and never mind one's self as long as one can do a service I don’t believe
a finer cowcumber was ever growed. I’m sure I never see one.”—MARTIN
CHUZZLEWIT, Chap. xxv.

Pickwick AND THE COLD PUNCH.
THIs constant succession of glasses produced considerable effect upon Mr.
Pickwick ; his countenance beamed with the most sunny smiles, laughter
played around his lips, and good-humored merriment twinkled in his eye.
Yielding by degrees to the influence of the exciting liquid, rendered more
so by the heat, Mr. Pickwick expressed a strong desire to recollect a song
which he had heard in his infancy, and the attempt proving abortive, sought
to stimulate his memory with more glasses of punch, which appeared to
have quite the contrary effect; for, from forgetting the song, he began to
forget how to articulate any words at all ; and finally after rising to his legs
to address the company in an eloquent speech, he fell into the barrow and
fast asleep simultaneously.—PICKWICK PAPERS.

MONTAGUE TIGG INTRODUCES. HIMSELF TO MARTIN
CHUZZLEWIT AND TOM PINCH.
THEY were both very busy on the afternoon succeeding the family's depart-
ure—Martin with the drawing-school, and Tom in balancing certain receipts
of rent and deducting Mr. Pecksniff’s commission from the same, in which
abstruse employment he was much distracted by a habit his new friend had
of whistling aloud while he was drawing—when they were not a little
startled by the unexpected obtrusion into that sanctuary of genius of a human
head, which, although a shaggy and somewhat alarming head in appearance,
smiled affably upon them from the doorway in a manner that was at once
waggish, conciliatory and expressive of approbation.
“I am not industrious myself, gents both,” said the head, “but I know
how to appreciate that quality in others. I wish I may turn gray and ugly
if it isn't, in my opinion, next to genius, one of the very charmingest
qualities of the human mind. Upon my soul I am grateful to my friend
Pecksniff for helping me to the contemplation of such a delicious picture as
you present. You remind me of Whittington, afterwards thrice Lord
Mayor of London. I give you my unsullied word of honour, that you very
strongly remind me of that historical character. You are a pair of Whit-
tingtons, gents, without the cat, which is a most agreeable and blessed excep-
tion to me, for I am not attached to the feline species. My name is Tigg;
how do you do?”—MARTIN CHUzzI.Ewir.

NEWMAN NOGGS.
“THERE go the three-quarters past,” muttered Newman Noggs, listening
to the chimes of some neighboring church, “and my dinner time's two.
He does it on purpose. He makes a point of it. It’s just like him.”
It was in his own little den of an office that Newman thus soliloquized,
and the soliloquy referred, as Newman's grumbling Soliloquies usually did,
to Ralph Nickleby.—NICHOLAS NICKLEBY, Chap. xlvii.
