‘
Mr

Staple

’
912
‘
Sir
,
’
said
the
little
man
,
rising
,
‘
I
wish
to
address
what
I
have
to
say
to
you
and
not
to
our
worthy
chairman
,
because
our
worthy
chairman
is
in
some
measure
—
I
may
say
in
a
great
degree
—
the
subject
of
what
I
have
to
say
,
or
I
may
say
to
—
to
—
’
‘
State
,
’
suggested
Mr
.
Jingle
.
913
‘
Yes
,
to
state
,
’
said
the
little
man
,
‘
I
thank
my
honourable
friend
,
if
he
will
allow
me
to
call
him
so
(
four
hears
and
one
certainly
from
Mr
.
Jingle
)
,
for
the
suggestion
.
Sir
,
I
am
a
Deller
—
a
Dingley
Deller
(
cheers
)
.
I
cannot
lay
claim
to
the
honour
of
forming
an
item
in
the
population
of
Muggleton
;
nor
,
Sir
,
I
will
frankly
admit
,
do
I
covet
that
honour
:
and
I
will
tell
you
why
,
Sir
(
hear
)
;
to
Muggleton
I
will
readily
concede
all
these
honours
and
distinctions
to
which
it
can
fairly
lay
claim
—
they
are
too
numerous
and
too
well
known
to
require
aid
or
recapitulation
from
me
.
But
,
sir
,
while
we
remember
that
Muggleton
has
given
birth
to
a
Dumkins
and
a
Podder
,
let
us
never
forget
that
Dingley
Dell
can
boast
a
Luffey
and
a
Struggles
.
(
Vociferous
cheering
.
)
Let
me
not
be
considered
as
wishing
to
detract
from
the
merits
of
the
former
gentlemen
.
Sir
,
I
envy
them
the
luxury
of
their
own
feelings
on
this
occasion
.
(
Cheers

Every
gentleman
who
hears
me
,
is
probably
acquainted
with
the
reply
made
by
an
individual
,
who
—
to
use
an
ordinary
figure
of
speech
—
"
hung
out
"
in
a
tub
,
to
the
emperor
Alexander
:
—
"
if
I
were
not
Diogenes
,
"
said
he
,
"
I
would
be
Alexander
.
"
I
can
well
imagine
these
gentlemen
to
say
,
"
If
I
were
not
Dumkins
I
would
be
Luffey
;
if
I
were
not
Podder
I
would
be
Struggles
.
"
(
Enthusiasm
.
)
But
,
gentlemen
of
Muggleton
,
is
it
in
cricket
alone
that
your
fellow
-
townsmen
stand
pre
-
eminent
?
Have
you
never
heard
of
Dumkins
and
determination
?
Have
you
never
been
taught
to
associate
Podder
with
property
?
(
Great
applause
.
)
Have
you
never
,
when
struggling
for
your
rights
,
your
liberties
,
and
your
privileges
,
been
reduced
,
if
only
for
an
instant
,
to
misgiving
and
despair
?
And
when
you
have
been
thus
depressed
,
has
not
the
name
of
Dumkins
laid
afresh
within
your
breast
the
fire
which
had
just
gone
out
;
and
has
not
a
word
from
that
man
lighted
it
again
as
brightly
as
if
it
had
never
expired
?
(
Great
cheering
.
)
Gentlemen
,
I
beg
to
surround
with
a
rich
halo
of
enthusiastic
cheering
the
united
names
of
"
Dumkins
and
Podder
.
"

Here
the
little
man
ceased
,
and
here
the
company
commenced
a
raising
of
voices
,
and
thumping
of
tables
,
which
lasted
with
little
intermission
during
the
remainder
of
the
evening
.
Other
toasts
were
drunk
.
Mr
.
Luffey
and
Mr
.
Struggles
,
Mr
.
Pickwick
and
Mr
.
Jingle
,
were
,
each
in
his
turn
,
the
subject
of
unqualified
eulogium
;
and
each
in
due
course
returned
thanks
for
the
honour
.
916
Enthusiastic
as
we
are
in
the
noble
cause
to
which
we
have
devoted
ourselves
,
we
should
have
felt
a
sensation
of
pride
which
we
cannot
express
,
and
a
consciousness
of
having
done
something
to
merit
immortality
of
which
we
are
now
deprived
,
could
we
have
laid
the
faintest
outline
on
these
addresses
before
our
ardent
readers
.
Mr
.
Snodgrass
,
as
usual
,
took
a
great
mass
of
notes
,
which
would
no
doubt
have
afforded
most
useful
and
valuable
information
,
had
not
the
burning
eloquence
of
the
words
or
the
feverish
influence
of
the
wine
made
that
gentleman
’
s
hand
so
extremely
unsteady
,
as
to
render
his
writing
nearly
unintelligible
,
and
his
style
wholly
so
.
By
dint
of
patient
investigation
,
we
have
been
enabled
to
trace
some
characters
bearing
a
faint
resemblance
to
the
names
of
the
speakers
;
and
we
can
only
discern
an
entry
of
a
song
(
supposed
to
have
been
sung
by
Mr
.
Jingle
)
,
in
which
the
words
‘
bowl
’
‘
sparkling
’
‘
ruby
’
‘
bright
’
and
‘
wine
’
are
frequently
repeated
at
short
intervals
.
We
fancy
,
too
,
that
we
can
discern
at
the
very
end
of
the
notes
,
some
indistinct
reference
to
‘
broiled
bones
’
;
and
then
the
words
‘
cold
’
‘
without
’
occur
:
but
as
any
hypothesis
we
could
found
upon
them
must
necessarily
rest
upon
mere
conjecture
,
we
are
not
disposed
to
indulge
in
any
of
the
speculations
to
which
they
may
give
rise
.
917
We
will
therefore
return
to

;
merely
adding
that
within
some
few
minutes
before
twelve
o

clock
that
night
,
the
convocation
of
worthies
of
Dingley
Dell
and
Muggleton
were
heard
to
sing
,
with
great
feeling
and
emphasis
,
the
beautiful
and
pathetic
national
air
