To the happiness of being the possessor of "Punch," _Mr. Snozzle_ adds that of having a wonderful wife--a lady of universal talents; who dances in spangled shoes, plays on the tamburine, and sings Whitechapel French like a native. This inestimable creature has already gone round the town on a singing, dancing, and cash-collecting expedition; accompanied by the drum, mouth-organ, and _Swivel_. We now find her enchanting the flinty-hearted father, _Old Fellum_. Having been instrumental, by means of her vocal abilities, in drawing from him a declaration of amorous attachment and half-a-crown, she retires, to bury herself in the arms of her husband, and to eradicate the score, recorded in chalk, at _Mrs. Rummer's_ hotel. In the meantime _Snozzle_, having sold a plot, proceeds to fulfil the bargain by executing it. He enters with PUNCH'S theatre, to treat _Old Fellum_ with a second exhibition, and his daughter with an elopement; for in the midst of the performance the young lady detects the big drum in the act of "winking at her;" and she soon discovers that PUNCH'S orchestra is no other than her own lover. _Fellum_ is delighted with the show, to which he is attentive enough to allow of the lovers' escaping. He pursues them when it is too late, and having been so precipitate in his exit as to remember to forget to pay for his amusement, _Swivel_ steals a handsome cage, parrot included. Good gracious! what a scene of confusion and confabulation next takes place! _Fellum's_ first stage in pursuit is the public-house; there he unwittingly persuades _Mrs. Snozzle_ that her spouse is unfaithful--that _he_ it was who "stole away the old man's daughter." _Mrs. Snozzle_ raves, and threatens a divorce; _Snozzle_ himself trembles--he suspects the police are after him for being the receiver of stolen goods, instead of the deceiver of unsuspecting virtue. _Swivel_ dreads being taken up for prigging the parrot; and a frightful catastrophe is only averted by the entrance of the truant lovers, who have performed the comedy of "Matrimony" in a much shorter time than is allowed by the act of Parliament.
