Mr.Belcher occupied always two seats, and usually four.

It was pitiful to see feeble women look at his abounding supply, then look at him, and then pass on.

It was pitiful to see humbly dressed men do the same.

It was pitiful to see gentlemen put themselves to inconvenience rather than dispute with him his right to all the space he could cover with his luggage and his feet.

Mr.Belcher watched all these exhibitions with supreme satisfaction.
