A
grand
distinction
is to be
drawn
,
in this
respect
,
between
the
swell mob
and
common
thieves
;
the former
being
,
for the most part

men

not
appearing

on the contrary
,
acting

part
of
gentlemen
in
society.

There is
the
old
faculty
of
managing
a crowd
,
of
making
character
clash with
character
, that had
made
Dickens
not only
the
democrat
but even
the
demagogue
of
fiction. For
if it is
hard to manage
a
mob
,
it is
hardest
of all
to
manage
a
swell mob
. The
particular
kind of
chaos
that is
created
by the
hospitality
of a
rich
upstart
has
perhaps
never
been
so
accurately
and
outrageously
described.

Hewitt,

transportation
on the
Euryalus
hulk
in the
mid-1830s,
told
an
interviewer
that the
swell-mob
would
often
call
into
lodging-houses
in order to
recruit
"
go-alongs
" for

expeditions
: "

honour
