There they sit, like inverted Micawbers, waiting for something to turn down.

There they sit, like inverted Micawbers, waiting for something to turn down.

There they sit, like inverted Micawbers, waiting for something to turn down.

There they sit, like inverted Micawbers, waiting for something to turn down.
