After the theatre, Serjeant Porson strolled away to Evans's Supper Rooms, there to, feast upon kidneys, hot potatoes, harmony, and porter. Late into the night and early into the morning (when the outside public had withdrawn, and the waiters waxed sleepy) did the learned lawyer stay, smoking his cigar and chatting away the time with his intimates. Evans's was deserted in its turn for a literary club, celebrated for its late-hour on dits and the "march of intellect." Fresh cigars and billiards, clouds of smoke and canard hatching, (the room in which the Serjeant stood was the haunt of the journalists, and was their favorite forcing-ground for producing wonders in the depths of the " gigantic gooseberry " season,) soon carried the hands of the clock towards six. As seven struck, the Serjeant put on his hat, lighted a manila, and vended his way towards his chambers in tie Temple. Nearly two hours later, and he had "tubbed" and brushed his hair, and shallowed a couple of cups of coffee, and, attended by his clerk, was on his way to the Great Eastern Railway Station. Just h time he caught the five minutes to nine o'clock train to Chelmsford, and, as it began to quit the platform, had managed to fling himself into a first-class carriage, with his brief-bag.
