It was perfectly unimaginable what he would have been like in puris ncUuralibus^ had the wind suddenly blown him out of his clothes some day — an accident of which he seemed in constant danger. It is related of him, that he was once mistaken, when found dead-drunk in a gutter, on the morning after a king's birth-day, for the defunct corpse of Johnnie Wilkes,^ which had been so loyally kicked about the streets by the mob on the preceding evening ; but, on a scavenger proceeding to sweep him down... the channel, he presently sunk from the exalted character imputed to him, by rousing himself, and calling lustily, " Another bottle — just another bottle, and then we'll go ! " upon which the deceived officer of police left him to the management of the stream.
Besides serving Mr. H in the character of clerk or amanuensis, he used to dangle at his elbow on all occasions, swear religiously to all his charges, and show the way in laughing at all his jokes. He was so clever in the use of his pen in transcription, that his hand could travel over a sheet at the rate of eleven knots an hour, and this whether drunk or sober, asleep or awake.
