' T was indeed a matter of exquisite anxiety ! -- Between two o'clock and a quarter past , not one voter was polled on either side ; and the crowd , wearied with their long labors of hissing and shouting , looked dispirited , listless , and exhausted . By-and-by Mr. Gammon , and Messrs. Bloodsuck , -LRB- senior and junior , -RRB- Mudflint , Woodlouse , Centipede , Ginblossom , Going Gone , Hic Hæc Hoc , and others , made their appearance in the booth , around Titmouse . They all looked sour , depressed , and fatigued . Their faces were indeed enough to sadden and silence the crowd .
