The Pickwickians were actually summoned by the hearty Wardle to join. "Room for you all two inside and one on the ox," where there was one already. All accepted the invitation, making ten persons in all who were accommodated in the Barouche! But this does not exhaust its wonders.
The exultation and joy of the Pickwickians knew no bounds, when their patience and assiduity, their washing and scraping, were crowned with success. The stone was uneven and broken, and the letters were straggling and irregular, but the following fragment of an inscription was clearly to be deciphered: Mr.
He is a fearful spectacle. There was such a picture on the wall of the stable. "Have you any horses," I asked nervously, jerking my thumb toward the wall, "any horses that have been fed on just ordinary food? Some that are a little tired?" For I remembered how Mr. Winkle once engaged horses to take the Pickwickians out to Manor Farm and what mishaps befell them on the way.
From the old giants of English fun burly persons delighting in broad caricature, in decided colours, in cockney jokes, in swashing blows at the more prominent and obvious human follies from these you derived the splendid high spirits and unhesitating mirth of your earlier works.

"'What's your name, sir? says the lawyer. "'Tony Weller, says my father.
The house has been slightly altered since those days, but it practically remains the same as when Dickens deposited the Pickwickians in its courtyard that red-letter day in 1827.
