art of Polite Conversation in Newgate; or had made a vow in those 



troubled times to forego; for a period; the display of his 



accomplishments; is matter of uncertainty; but certain it is that 



for a whole year he never indulged in any other sound than a grave; 



decorous croak。  At the expiration of that term; the morning being 



very bright and sunny; he was heard to address himself to the 



horses in the stable; upon the subject of the Kettle; so often 



mentioned in these pages; and before the witness who overheard him 



could run into the house with the intelligence; and add to it upon 



his solemn affirmation the statement that he had heard him laugh; 



the bird himself advanced with fantastic steps to the very door of 



the bar; and there cried; 'I'm a devil; I'm a devil; I'm a devil!' 



with extraordinary rapture。







From that period (although he was supposed to be much affected by 



the death of Mr Willet senior); he constantly practised and 



improved himself in the vulgar tongue; and; as he was a mere infant 



for a raven when Barnaby was grey; he has very probably gone on 



talking to the present time。
