As we passed along the High Street comet-like we left a long tail of fragrance behind us which caused the public to stop sniffing in wonder. We had previously left at the corner of the inn-yard a wall-eyed young man connected with the Fly department and well accustomed to the sound of a railway whistle which Ben always carries in his pocket whose instructions were so soon as he should hear the whistle blown to dash into the kitchen seize the hot plum-pudding and mince-pies and speed with them to Watts's Charity where they would be received (he was further instructed) by the sauce-fe! male who would be provided with brandy in a blue state of combustion. All these arrangements were executed in the most exact and punctual manner.

This was the time for bringing the poker to bear on the billet of wood. I tapped it three times like an enchanted talisman and a brilliant host of merry-makers burst out of it and sported off by the chimney --rushing up the middle in a fiery country dance and never coming down again. Meanwhile by their sparkling light which threw our lamp into the shade I filled the glasses and gave my Travellers CHRISTMAS!--CHRISTMAS-EVE my friends when the shep! herds who were Poor Travellers too in their way heard the Angels sing "On earth peace. Good-will towards men!" I. dw6d8e467868t68zxvsdtg57758ghjvser
