Horatio Fizkin – Buff candidate for Eatanswill:

“Mr. Pickwick, with his usual foresight and sagacity, had chosen a peculiarly desirable moment for
his visit to the borough. Never was such a contest known. The Honourable Samuel Slumkey, of
Slumkey Hall, was the Blue candidate; and Horatio Fizkin, Esq., of Fizkin Lodge, near Eatanswill,
had been prevailed upon by his friends to stand forward on the Buff interest.”

George, the father – the Old Man’s Tale about the Queer Client:
“'She had fainted one evening in her husband's arms, and he had borne her to the open window,
to revive her with the air, when the light of the moon falling full upon her face, showed him a change
upon her features, which made him stagger beneath her weight, like a
helpless infant. "Set me down, George," she said faintly. He did so, and
seating himself beside her, covered his face with his hands, and burst into
tears. "It is very hard to leave you, George," she said; "but it is God's will,
and you must bear it for my sake. Oh! how I thank Him for having taken our
boy! He is happy, and in heaven now. What would he have done here,
without his mother!"”
