Rogers being stationed on her right hand, and Mrs. Raddle on her left, the meal proceeded with great merriment and success. 'How sweet the country is, to be sure! sighed Mrs. Rogers; 'I almost wish I lived in it always. 'Oh, you wouldn't like that, ma'am, replied Mrs.
In recalling the scene in its history which associates it with The Pickwick Papers, we remember that Mrs. Bardell and her friends, Mrs. Sanders, Mrs. Cluppins, Mr. and Mrs. Raddle, Mrs. Rogers and Master Tommy Bardell, bent on having a day out, had taken the Hampstead Stage to the "Spaniards" Tea Gardens, "where the luckless Mr.
