Mrs. Tibbs waa, beyond al) dispute, the most tidy, fidgety, thrifty little personage that ever fn haled the smoke of London ; and the house of Mrs, Tibba waa decidedly the nesteat in all Great Coram street. The area and the ares steps, and the street door and the street door-«tepa and tho brass han die, and the door-plate, and the knocker, and the fanlight, were ull as clean and aa bright as indefat- ignble whitewashing, and hearthetoning, and scrubbing and rubbing could make them, The wonder was that the brass door-plate, with the in- teresting inscription “Mas, Tins" had never caught fire from constant friction, so persevering= ly was ft poslished. There were mest-safe-looking wire blinds in the parlor windows bine and gold curtains in the drawing room, and spring roller blinds, as Mra. Tibbs was wont, In the pride of ber heart to boast, ‘all the way up." The bell-lainp in the passage, looked sacloar aaa soap bubble; you could see yourself in all the table and French poliah yourself on any one of the chair ; the ban- nisters were beeswaxed, and the very etair wires made your eyra wink, they were eo glittering. Mrs. Tibbe waa somewhat short of «tature, and Mr. Tibba was by no moana o large man : he had, moreover, very short legs but, by way of indem- nification, hia face was peculiarly long ; he was to hia wife what the 0 is in 90—he waa of ome im- portance with ber—he waa nothing without her, Mrs, Tibba was always talking, Mr, Mbbs rarely spoke ; but {fit were at any tine possible to put in a word, just when he aboul have said nothing at all, he did \t, Mrs, Tibbs detested long stories, and Mr. Tibbs had one, the conclusion of which had never been heard by his tnost intimate friends. It always began : "I recollect when I waa in the vol- Ubloer corps, in 1806''tut as be spoke very slowly and softly, and bia better half very quickly and loudly, be rarely got beyond the introductory sen- tence, MMe was a melancholy specimen of the story~ teller, Ho was the wandering of Joe Millerism —#ver purming and ever shunned, Mr. Tibbs enjoyed a amall independence, His father, mother, and five interesting aciona from the same stock drew from the revenne of a yratefnl country, for what particular service (t wae never distinet!y known, Putas this said independence was not quite aufiictent to furnish two people with all the luxuries of thie life, it had occurred to the busy little spouse of Tibbs that the best thing she could do th n legacy of #3,800 word be to fur- neh stolerable house, for the reception of board- er Great ‘oram = atreet Waa the epot pitched upon, The bouse had been furnished ace cordingly ; two females and an aivertiserment tn- serted in the morning papers, informing the pub- lic that "8 x individnals won'd meet with all the com of a cheerful musical home, in » select pri- vate family, residing within ten minutes’ walk of everywhere." Anawers out of number were re- ceived, with all sorts of initiala wll the letters of the alphabet seemed to be seiz. with a sudden wish to go out boarding and lodgag ; voluminous was the correspondence between Mra, Tibbs and the applicants, and most profound was the secresy which waste be observed, E."* didn't like this, and “1."" couldn't think of putting up with that; “1.0, U0." didn't think the terms would suit him ; and “G. R." bad never sleptin a Frenc? bed. The result, however, was, that three gentlernen became inmates of Mra, Tibbs’ house, on terms which were “agreeable to all parties."’ In went the sdvertise- ment agnin, avd a lady with her two daughters roposed to increase-—not their two families, but . Tibbs," “Charining woman, that Mrs, Maplesone !'* anid Mrs. Tibbs, as she and her spouse were sitting by the tire after breakfast; the gentlemen having gone out on their several avocations, “Charming wo man, indeed !"* repeated lithe Mrs, Tibbs, more by way of soliloquy than anything else, for she never thought of consulting her husband, ‘And the two daughters are delightful. We must have some tish to-day ; they'll join us at dinner for the first time.” Mr. Tibbs placed the poker at right angles with the Arakerel: and essayed to speak, but recollect- ed he had nothing to say, ‘The young ladies," continued Mra, T., “have kindly volunteered to bring thelr own piano.” Tibbs thought of the volunteer story, but did not ventnre it, A bright thought struck him —‘It's very likely," said ho, “Pray don't loan your head against the paper," interrupted Mrs, Tibbs—and don't put your feet on the steel fender ; that's worse." T.bbs took his heay from the paper, and his feet from the fender ; and proceeded. “It's very like- ty one of the young ladies may set her cap at young Mr, Simpson, and you know a marriage'’—— “A What!" shriéked Mra, Tibbs. Tibbs modest- ly repeated his former suggestion. “Lbeg you won't mention such a thing,” said Mrs. T. “A marriage indeed {—to rob me of my boarders—no not for the world.” Tibba thought in hie own mind that the event was by no means unlikely, but as he never agreed with hia wife, he puta stop to the dislogug by ob- serving it Was “time togoto business." He al- ways Went out atten o'clock in the morning, and returned at five in the afternoon, with an exceed- ingly dirty face, and smelling very mouldy. No- body knew what he was, or where he went to ; but Mrs. Tibbe used to say, with an air of wreat im- portance, that he was employed by the City, The Mias Maplesones and their accomplished pn- rentarrived jn the course of the afterncon ina hackney woach, and accompanied by a most aston- ishing number of packayes, Trunks, bonnet- boxes, mutf-boxes, parasols quitar-cases ; and parcels of al] imayinable shapes. done up in brown paper, and fastencd with pina, filled the passage, Toen thore was such ® running up and down with the lugwace, such scampering for warm water for the Jacies to wash in, and such a bustle and cos- fusion, and heating of servanta and curliny-irous ashal never been known In Great Coram-street before.
