He was afflicted with a situation in the Bank worth five hundred a-year, and he rented a ‘first-floor furnished,’ at Pentonville, which he originally took because it commanded a dismal prospect of an adjacent churchyard. He was familiar with the face of every tombstone, and the burial service seemed to excite his strongest sympathy.
Let us now look forward to 1821; let us walk down one of the new streets just beginning to stretch northwards from Pentonville; let us stop opposite a little house, with a little palisade in front, enclosing a little garden five and twenty feet long and fifteen feet broad; let us peep through the chink between the blind and the window. We see Zachariah and Pauline.
Have you got a quarter about you?" "No." "Nor a dime? A dime'll do." "I have no money to spare." "I'd pay yer to-morrer." "You'll have to borrow elsewhere; I am working in a store for a very smell salary, and that I pay over to my mother." "Whose store?" "Simon Crawford's; but you won't know any better for my telling you that, unless you are acquainted in Pentonville" "I've been through there.
Barker's old book-shop was at No. 20 Great Russell Street, over which the Lambs went to live in 1817. It had then, however, become Mr. Great Russell Street is now Russell Street. From Islington.

A house-moving firm from Pentonville, however, had engaged to perform the work. They had jacked up the house on screws, chained it securely to a log frame, and, setting a portable windlass at the top of the hill, operated this by horse power. An immense rope cable, thick as a man's arm, ran to a pulley under the house.
Lady S. takes the digitalis, and, as she thinks, with advantage, though the medicine makes her very sick. Yet, on the whole, things are better than my gloomy apprehensions had anticipated. I wrote to Lockhart and to Lord Downshire's Agent, G. Handley, Esq., Pentonville, London. Took a good brushing walk, but not till I had done a good task. March 24. Sent off copy, proofs, etc.

"Believe me, it's the only thing for you to do. You're going to give up the Star of Poland, aren't you?" "Oh, no, Maurice, I'm not," replied Desmond in a frank, even voice. "I've told you what I'm going to do. I'm going to hand you over to the people at Pentonville to hang as a murderer. And I shouldn't be at all surprised if they didn't run up old Bellward there alongside of you!"
If Squire Davenport had not threatened to foreclose the mortgage, he would have felt justified in buying a present for his mother.
