AH this, of course, was visited on poor Jerry's head when he got home. "Poor spiritless wretch, to see his wife used so ; " " not fit to be called a man, " and so on. By-and-by, Jerry, who had been bred to the bar, started what he would call a " beautiful fiction, " a sort of "leader of the gallop, " oi- "trotter-out. " This was a sneaking, grinning, wriggling, old bachelor, of the name of Rufus Slackbags, who goes the round of country parties just as an organ- grinder's hat goes the round of s...treet ones. The following was their mode of proceeding ; it is much in the style of the old thimble-riggers : — The company being assembled, Jerry and Slack- bags would get together in the thick of the covey, and start a controversy respecting the date of some real or imaginary baronetage, which Jerry would carry on in the loud argumentative style so dis- tinctive of the lower order of the bar ; while Slackbags, on his part, maintained his position with a greater degeee of tenacity than is usually shown by gentlemen fishing for dinners.
