    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.
