Excerpt from Ten Thousand a-Year, Vol. 5Now Titmouse had contrived to overhear almost every word of the above, and had naturally formed a prodigious estimate of Mr. O'gibbet and his influence in the highest quarters. But to proceed. - Within a few minutes' time might have been seen Titmouse and o'gibbet earnestly conversing together, remote from observation, in one of the passages leading from the lobby. Mr. O'gibbet spoke all the while in a tone which at once solicited and commanded attention. Sir, of course you know you've not a ghost of a chance of keeping your seat? I've heard all about it. You'll be beat, dead heat; will never be able to sit in this parlimint, sir, for your own borough, and be liable to no end 0' penalties for bribery, besides. Oh, my dear sir, how I wish I had been at your elbow! This would never have happened!About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
