Mr. Gamfield's countenance brightened, as, with a quick step, he returned to the table, and said,
"What'll you give, gen'l'men? Come! Don't be too hard on a poor man. What'll you give?"
"I should say, three pound ten was plenty," said Mr. Limbkins.
"Ten shillings too much," said the gentleman in the white waistcoat.
"Come!" said Gamfield; "say four pound, gen'l'men. Say four pound, and you've got rid of him for good and all. There!"
"Three pound ten,'"repeated Mr. Limbkins, firmly.
"Come! I'll split the diff'erence, gen'l'men," urged Gamfield. "Three pound fifteen."
"Not a farthing more," was the firm reply of Mr. Limbkins.
"You're desperate hard upon me, gen'l'men," said Gamfield, wavering.
"Pooh! pooh! nonsense!" said the gentleman in the white waistcoat. "He'd be cheap with nothing at all, as a premium. Take him, you silly fellow! He's just the boy for you. He wants the stick, now and then: it'll do him good; and his board needn't come very expensive, for he hasn't been overfed since he was born. Ha! ha! ha!"
