The only visitors I ever saw, or heard of, were creditors.

THEY used to come at all hours, and some of them were quite ferocious.

One dirty-faced man, I think he was a boot-maker, used to edge himself into the passage as early as seven o'clock in the morning, and call up the stairs to Mr.Micawber--'Come! You ain't out yet, you know.

Pay us, will you?
Don't hide, you know; that's mean.

I wouldn't be mean if I was you.
