2. Two of Jingle’s speeches are here quoted, the first being in Chapter
III., and the second in Chapter II. For “Spanish traveller” see Chapter
III., and for “narcotic bedstead” see Chapter XLI. “Go on, Jemmy,” is
Mr. Jingle’s adjuration to the actor whom he has previously designated
“Dismal Jemmy,” urging the commencement of the ‘Stroller’s Tale.’ “Like
black-eyed Susan—all in the Downs” has the double application to the
stroller’s melancholy and the first line of Gay’s song of ‘Black-eyed
Susan’—“All in the Downs the fleet was moored.” “Handled his fives well”
of course refers to the “sparring” of the cabman who wanted to fight Mr.
Pickwick. “Friend in the green jemmy” refers to Mr. Winkle, who, we are
told in Chapter I., “wore a new green shooting-coat,” &c. “Pig’s
whisper” is slang for a very brief space of time. Bartlett says the
Americans have “pig’s whistle” the same signification.
