Description
Excerpt: Chapter 1. THE DEPUTY TURN Mr. Arthur Mackwayte slipped noiselessly into the dining?room and took his place at the table. He always moved quietly, a look of gentle deprecation on his face as much as to say: ?Really, you know, I can?t help being here: if you will just overlook me this time, by and by you won?t notice I'm there at all!? That was how he went through life, a shy, retiring little man, quiet as a mouse, gentle as a dove, modesty personified. That is, at least, how Mr. Arthur Mackwayte struck his friends in private life. Once a week, however, he fairly screamed at the public from the advertisement columns of ?The Referee: ?Mackwayte, in his Celebrated Kerbstone Sketches. Wit! Pathos! Tragedy!!! The Epitome of London Life. Universally Acclaimed as the Greatest Portrayer of London Characters since the late Chas. Dickens. In Tremendous Demand for Public Dinners. The Popular Favorite. A Few Dates still Vacant. 23, Laleham Villas, Seven.
