A month's notice terminates my tenancy. Give it, and tell Mrs.Bardell she may put a bill up, as soon as she likes.' 'Wery good, sir,' replied Mr.Weller; 'anythin' more, sir ?' 'Nothing more, Sam.' Mr.Weller stepped slowly to the door, as if he expected something more; slowly opened it, slowly stepped out, and had slowly closed it within a couple of inches, when Mr.Pickwick called out-- 'Sam.' 'Yes, sir,' said Mr.Weller, stepping quickly back, and closing the door behind him. |
