The sight of the tumblers restored Bob Sawyer to a degree of equanimity which he had not possessed since his interview with his landlady. His face brightened up, and he began to feel quite convivial. The dismal man readily complied; a circle was again formed round the table, and harmony once more prevailed. Some lingering irritability appeared to find a resting-place in Mr. Winkle’s bosom, occasioned possibly by the temporary abstraction of his coat – though it is scarcely reasonable to suppose that so slight a circumstance can have excited even a passing feeling of anger in a Pickwickian’s breast.

Quae qui non vident, nihil umquam magnum ac cognitione dignum amaverunt. Atqui iste locus est, Piso, tibi etiam atque etiam confirmandus, inquam; Multoque hoc melius nos veriusque quam Stoici. Quodsi ipsam honestatem undique pertectam atque absolutam. Quis enim confidit semper sibi illud stabile et firmum permansurum, quod fragile et caducum sit?
- In eo enim positum est id, quod dicimus esse expetendum.
- Invidiosum nomen est, infame, suspectum.

- Isto modo ne improbos quidem, si essent boni viri.
- Possumusne ergo in vita summum bonum dicere, cum id ne in cena quidem posse videamur?
Facete M. Quod quidem iam fit etiam in Academia. De vacuitate doloris eadem sententia erit. An eum discere ea mavis, quae cum plane perdidiceriti nihil sciat? An vero displicuit ea, quae tributa est animi virtutibus tanta praestantia? Omnes enim iucundum motum, quo sensus hilaretur.
