Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Sketches by Boz, Vol. 2 of 2: Illustrative of Every-Day Life and Every-Day People; Sketches of Young Gentlemen, Sketches of Young Couples, the Mudfog Papers and Other Sketches Once upon a time there dwelt, in a narrow street on the Surrey side of the water, within three minutes´ walk of old London Bridge, Mr. Joseph Tuggs - a little dark-faced man, with shiny hair, twinkling eyes, short legs, and a body of very considerable thickness, measuring from the centre button of his waistcoat in front, to the ornamental buttons of his coat behind. The figure of the amiable Mrs. Tuggs, if not perfectly symmetrical, was decidedly comfortable; and the form of her only daughter, the accomplished Miss Charlotte Tuggs, was fast ripening into that state of luxuriant plumpness which had enchanted the eyes, and captivated the heart, of Mr. Joseph Tuggs in his earlier days. Mr. Simon Tuggs, his only son, and Miss Charlotte Tuggs´s only brother, was as differently formed in body, as he was differently constituted in mind, from the remainder of his family. There was that elongation in his thoughtful face, and that tendency to weakness in his interesting legs, which tell so forcibly of a great mind and romantic disposition.
