270 Motives in English Fiction In Thackeray's Pendennis (1848-50), Mr. Wagg (Theodore Hook) likes Beauty, Burgundy, Venus, and Venison, above all stale jokes. According to Thackeray, Mr. Wagg seized on minutice in spite of himself. With tongue in jowl he always leered at his companion. Possessed with a soul of a butler he made fun in the drawing-room. Any volume of his droll books was worth £300 to any publisher. He paraded in a white waistcoat. He had a burly, red face and a mouth on the looko...ut for florid, Gothic styles of repasts. He could insolently push a pun to putridity and familiarly pound a tattoo on any man's backbone. Such was Wagg, one of the rulers of Paternoster Row, who condescended to look favorably on young reviewer Pendennis. By the time Scythrop had passed through the Gay and Wagg stage he was destined to be the large caricature Harold Skimpole (Leigh Hunt) in Dickens's Bleak House (1853). Skimpole was such a powerful caricature of Leigh Hunt, sponging off his friends, that Dickens could never quite forgive himself for having tossed out into the world for all time as a figure of scorn the tag-priced poet bristling with innumerable meal-tickets pinned on his bor- rowed clothes by generous friends.
