Mr Warren – the amiable Mr Warren referred to as Mr Samuel arrives at
The White Hart:
“'Vy didn't you say so before,' said Sam, with great indignation, singling out the boots in
question from the heap before him. 'For all I know'd he was one o' the regular threepennies.
Private room! and a lady too! If he's anything of a gen'l'm'n, he's vurth a shillin' a day, let
alone the arrands.' Stimulated by this inspiring reflection, Mr. Samuel brushed away with
such hearty good-will, that in a few minutes the boots and shoes, with a polish which would
have struck envy to the soul of the amiable Mr. Warren (for they used Day & Martin at the
White Hart), had arrived at the door of number five.”

Henry – a cousin of Marie Lobbs and who married her:
“The only eye-sore in the whole place was another cousin of Maria Lobbs's, and a brother of
Kate, whom Maria Lobbs called "Henry," and who seemed to keep Maria Lobbs all to himself,
up in one corner of the table. It's a delightful thing to see affection in families, but it may
be carried rather too far, and Nathaniel Pipkin could not help thinking that Maria Lobbs must
be very particularly fond of her relations, if she paid as much attention to all of them as to
this individual cousin.”

Brown of Muggleton – a shoemaker:
'Stop a bit,' replied Sam, suddenly recollecting himself. 'Yes; there's a pair of Vellingtons a
good deal worn, and a pair o' lady's shoes, in number five.' 'What sort of shoes?' hastily
inquired Wardle, who, together with Mr. Pickwick, had been lost in bewilderment at the
singular catalogue of visitors. 'Country make,' replied Sam. 'Any maker's name?' 'Brown.'
'Where of?' 'Muggleton.
