[31] _Seedy_--a highly fashionable term, applied chiefly to dress. Thus when a man's coat begins to manifest symptoms of worn-out-ishness, he is said to look _seedy_--run to seed, and ready for _cutting_; and whenever this is the case, all his acquaintance cut him as fast as they can, until he is quite cut down and done with. Holywell-street is a famous mart for these ripe garments. [32] _Bub_ and _Grub_--drink and victual-- --"And we'll broach a tub, Of humming bub, With lots of hot and chilly grub, To welcome you home with a rub a dub dub." _Old Song._ [33] _Ramshackle_--corrupted from _ramshatter_, to shatter as with a battering ram. [34] A resplendent _gas-light_ was just then shedding its radiance over the happy pair.
