WHO
WAS-? .. MARK TAPLEY.
Honest Mark Tapley, chief hostler of the Blue Dragon, was a cheery fellow-cheery not only by nature but by am- bition as well.
Mark Tapley fa a character:
Martin Chuzzlewit, by Charles Dickens.
in
It was on account of his atrange ambition that he in- vited the visitations of mis- fortune so that he would be able to triumph over adver-- sity, and "come out jolly with credit."
Mark's capacity to "come out Jolly" was put to its severest test when he accom- panied Martin Chuzzlewit to a fraudulent earthly para- dise in America called "Eden," which was really a malarial and unspeakable swamp.
The discomforts which over- took Mark in Eden were colog sal enough to shatter "the most heroic optimism, but Mark's sanguiné temperament suffered no single defeat, and on returning to England be "came out jolly" with a venge." ancé, for he married buxom Mrs. Lupin, and thus became landlord of the famous Blue Dragon.
Whenever anybody is refer red to as a blark Tapley, It means, therefore, that he re-s. fuses to be downcast by his difficulties.
