Dab, get a fresh bottle of Burgundy for Mr.Hoskins." And before he knew where he was, there was Gus for the first time in his life drinking Clos-Vougeot.

Gus said he had never tasted Bergamy before, at which the bailiff sneered, and told him the name of the wine.
"_Old Clo_! What ?" says Gus; and we laughed: but the Hebrew gents did not this time.
"Come, come, sir!" says Mr.Aminadab's friend, "ve're all shentlemen here, and shentlemen never makish reflexunsh upon other gentlemen'sh pershuashunsh." After this feast was concluded, Gus and I retired to my room to consult about my affairs.

With regard to the responsibility incurred as a shareholder in the West Diddlesex, I was not uneasy; for though the matter might cause me a little trouble at first, I knew I was not a shareholder; that the shares were scrip shares, making the dividend payable to the bearer; and my aunt had called back her shares, and consequently I was free.

But it was very unpleasant to me to consider that I was in debt nearly a hundred pounds to tradesmen, chiefly of Mrs.
Hoggarty's recommendation; and as she had promised to be answerable for their bills, I determined to send her a letter reminding her of her promise, and begging her at the same time to relieve me from Mr.Von Stiltz's debt, for which I was arrested: and which was incurred not certainly at her desire, but at Mr.Brough's; and would never have been incurred by me but at the absolute demand of that gentleman.
I wrote to her, therefore, begging her to pay all these debts, and promised myself on Monday morning again to be with my dear wife.

Gus carried off the letter, and promised to deliver it in Bernhard Street after church-time; taking care that Mary should know nothing at all of the painful situation in which I was placed.
