Pelham is also the title of a novel by Buller Littun, he in the dark and
stormy night frame.
One of the notorious Newgate novels, supposed to be the reason society was
going to the dogs (in 1828) and contains more blowens than you can shake a
stick at.

***********************
"Ruffling Job, my prince of prigs, is that you? are you come to the ken
alone, or do you carry double?"
"Ah, Bess, my covess, strike me blind if my sees don't tout your bingo
muns in spite of the darkmans. Egad, you carry a bane blink aloft. Come
to the ken alone--no! my blowen; did not I tell you I should bring a
pater cove, to chop up the whiners for Dawson?"
"Stubble it, you ben, you deserve to cly the jerk for your patter; come
in, and be d--d to you."
Upon this invitation, Jonson, seizing me by the arm, pushed me into the
house, and followed. "Go for a glim, Bess, to light in the parish bull
with proper respect. I'll close the gig of the crib."
From _Pelham_, by BL
