Charles Kitterbell was one of the most credulous and matter-of-fact little personages that ever took to himself a wife, and for himself a house in Great Russell-street, Bedford-square. ‘No, but, uncle, ’pon my life you must—you must promise to be godfather,’ said Mr. Kitterbell, as he sat in conversation with his respected relative one morning. ‘I cannot, indeed I cannot,’ returned Dumps.
Sparkins,’ said Flamwell, returning to the charge, ‘do you happen to know Mr. Delafontaine, of Bedford-square?’ ‘I have exchanged cards with him; since which, indeed, I have had an opportunity of serving him considerably,’ replied Horatio, slightly colouring; no doubt, at having been betrayed into making the acknowledgment.
He made a call the other morning at our friend M.'s in Bedford-square; and, finding nobody at home, was ushered into the hall, where, asking for pen and ink, with great exactitude of purpose he enters me his name in the book which ordinarily lies about in such places, to record the failures of the untimely or unfortunate visitor and takes his leave with many ceremonies, and professions of regret.
The whole affair vividly brought to my mind that description of the 'Gondola, given so graphically by Byron, that it 'Contain'd much fun, Like mourning coaches when the funeral's done." Some years ago I witnessed the funeral of a young lady, the only child of very wealthy parents, who resided in of Bedford-square.
In September 1791, she removed from the house she occupied in George-street, to a large and commodious apartment in Store street, Bedford-square.
