The Flash Molishers,{5} in the vicinity of Drury Lane, were out in parties, and it was reasonable to suppose, that where there was so much heat, considerable thirst must also prevail; consequently the Sluiceries were all in high request, every one of those in the neighbourhood being able to boast of overflowing Houses, without any imputation upon their veracity. We say nothing of elegant genteel, or enlightened audiences, so frequently introduced in the Bills from other houses in the neighbourhood; even the door-ways were block'd up with the collectors and imparters of information. Prognostications as to how and where it began, how it would end, and the property that would be consumed, were to be met at every corner--Snuffy Tabbies, and Boosy Kids, some giving way to jocularity, and others indulging in lamentations. “Hot, hot, hot, all hot,” said a Black man, as he pushed in and out among the crowd; with “Hoot awa', the de'il tak your soul, mon, don't you think we are all hot eneugh?--gin ye bring more hot here I'll crack your croon--I've been roasting alive for the last half hoor, an' want to be ganging, but I can't get out.” “Hot, hot, hot, all hot, Ladies and Gentlemen,” said the dingy dealer in delicacies, and almost as soon disappeared among the crowd, where he found better opportunities for vending his rarities. “Lumps of pudding,” said Tom, jerking Tallyho by the arm, “what do you think of a slice? here's accommodation for you--all hot, ready dress'd, and well done.” “Egad!” said Bob, “I think we shall be well done ourselves presently.” “Keep your hands out of my pockets, you lousy beggar,” 1 Scamps--Highwaymen. 2 Pads--Foot-pads. 3 Divers--Pickpockets. 4 The Lay--Upon the look-out for opportunities for the exercise of their profession. 5 Flash Molishers--a term given to low Prostitutes. ~150~~said a tall man standing near them, “or b---- me if I don't mill you.” “You mill me, vhy you don't know how to go about it, Mr. Bully Brag, and I doesn't care half a farden for you--you go for to say as how I--” “Take that, then,” said the other, and gave him a floorer; but he was prevented from falling by those around him.
