MASTER HUMPHREYS CLOCK.

Charles Dickens in supplying him with
materials for his Nicholas Nickleby, and
1t was this worthy horologist's clock that
suggested to him the quaint repository in
which he chose to locate the manuscript of
'Thc Old Curiosity Shop Mr.. Humphrey
directed Mr.. Dickens and his friend Phiz
to the school which the two travellers rem
bred infamous by their pen and pencil
The schoolmaster had been very success
full in obtaining pupils and had become
very tyrannical and insulting to strangers
He received Mr.. Dickens and his compan-
Ion with extreme hauteur and did not SO
much as withdraw his eyes from the opcr
alton of penmaking during their inter
Wow. But Phiz, who did not venture to
display his drawing materials openly,
sketched him on his thumb nail and re-
produced him so exactly that soon otter
the appearance Of the novel the 1.-the
boys school fell of and was ultimately
deserted"
