Stranica 235 - ... and at tip-cheese, or odd and even, his hand is out. But Pickwick, gentlemen, Pickwick, the ruthless destroyer of this domestic oasis in the desert of Goswell Street — Pickwick, who has choked up the well, and thrown ashes on the sward — Pickwick, who comes before you today with his heartless...
Stranica 235 - My client's hopes and prospects are ruined, and it is no figure of speech to say that her occupation is gone indeed. The bill is down - but there is no tenant. Eligible single gentlemen pass and repass - but there is no invitation for them to inquire within or without.

"Now, Winkle," cried Mr. Pickwick, quite unconscious that there was anything...

He enquired within; he took the lodgings; and on the very next day he entered into possession of them. This man was Pickwick — Pickwick, the defendant.

Stranica 226 - No it don't,' replied Sam, reading on very quickly, to avoid contesting the point. '"Except of me Mary my dear as your walentine and think over what I've said. — My dear Mary I will now conclude.
