It is a capital coffee-room, full of winders, and finely-polished tables, waiters in silk stockings, and they give spermaceti cheese, and burn Parmesan candles.  The chaps in it, however, were werry unsociable, and there wasn’t a man there that I would borrow half a crown to get drunk with.  Stickey is the landlord, but he does not stick it in so deep as might be expected from the looks of the house, and the cheese and candles considered.  It was a most tempestersome night, and, having eaten and drank to completion, I determined to go and see if my aunt, in Cavendish Street, was alive; and after having been nearly blown out to France several times, I succeeded in making my point and running to ground.  The storm grew worser and worser, and when I came to open the door to go away, I found it blocked with snow, and the drifts whirling about in all directions.  My aunt, who is a werry feeling woman, insisted on my staying all night, which only made the matter worse, for when I came to look out in the morning I found the drift as high as the first floor winder, and the street completely buried in snow.  Having breakfasted, and seeing no hopes of emancipation, I hangs out a flag of distress—­a red wipe—­which, after flapping about for some time, drew three or four sailors and a fly-man or two.  I explained from the winder how dreadfully I was situated, prayed of them to release me, but the wretches did nothing but laugh, and ax wot I would give to be out.  At last one of them, who acted as spokesman, proposed that I should put an armchair out of the winder, and pay them five shillings each for carrying me home on their shoulders.  It seemed a vast of money, but the storm continuing, the crowd increasing, and I not wishing to kick up a row at my aunt’s, after offering four and sixpence, agreed to their terms, and throwing out a chair, plumped up to the middle in a drift.  Three cheers followed the feat, which drew all the neighbours to the winders, when about half a dozen fellows, some drunk, some sober, and some half-and-half, pulled me into the chair, hoisted me on to their shoulders, and proceeded into St. James’s Street, bellowing out, “Here’s the new member for Brighton!  Here’s the boy wot sleeps in Cavendish Street!  Huzzah, the old ’un for ever!  There’s an elegant man for a small tea-party!  Who wants a fat chap to send to their friends this Christmas?” The noise they made was quite tremendious, and the snow in many places being up to their middles, we made werry slow progress, but still they would keep me in the chair, and before we got to the end of the street the crowd had increased to some hundreds.  Here they began snow-balling, and my hat and wig soon went flying, and then there was a fresh holloa.  “Here’s Mr. Wigney, the member for Brighton,” they cried out; “I say, old boy, are you for the ballot?  You must call on the King this morning; he wants to give you a Christmas-box.”  Just then one of the front bearers tumbled, and down we
