Pickwick, 'that having left a good many things at Mrs. Bardell's, in Goswell Street, I ought to arrange for taking them away, before I leave town again. 'Wery good, sir, replied Mr. Weller. 'I could send them to Mr. Tupman's, for the present, Sam, continued Mr. Pickwick, 'but before we take them away, it is necessary that they should be looked up, and put together.
Weller was standing at the door of the Angel, ready to receive them, and by that gentleman they were ushered to the apartment of Mr. Pickwick, where, to the no small surprise of Mr. Winkle and Mr. Snodgrass, and the no small embarrassment of Mr. Tupman, they found old Wardle and Trundle. 'How are you? said the old man, grasping Mr. Tupman's hand.
Pickwick beautifully observes, it has somehow or other happened, from time immemorial, that many of the best and ablest philosophers, who have been perfect lights of science in matters of theory, have been wholly unable to reduce them to practice. Mr. Tupman's process, like many of our most sublime discoveries, was extremely simple.
It was inevitable, therefore, that his enthusiasm for it should find vent in his stories, and the first references to its green woods and green shady lanes are to be found in charming phrases in The Pickwick Papers, with the "Leather Bottle" as the centre of attraction. The inn is first named in the book in Mr. Tupman's pathetic letter to Mr.

Pickwick's was, of course, to the front when, roused by the Boots, he gave the direction of his followers' bed-room, "next room but two on the right hand." Winkle's room was inside Tupman's so we are shown a room in the front with another inside of it and the third on the left will, of course, be Mr. Pickwick's, Q.E.D.
