open, and Brother Tadger appeared, closely followed by the Reverend Mr. Stiggins, who no
sooner entered, than there was a great clapping of hands, and stamping of feet, and
flourishing of handkerchiefs; to all of which manifestations of delight, Brother Stiggins
returned no other acknowledgment than staring with a wild eye, and a fixed smile, at the
extreme top of the wick of the candle on the table, swaying his body to and fro, meanwhile,
in a very unsteady and uncertain manner.“

Mr Charles Fitz-Marshall – one of Jingles’ aliases – at Mrs Leo Hunter’s party:
“Nothing seemed wanting to render the select circle complete, when Mr. Leo Hunter--whose
department on these occasions, was to stand about in doorways, and talk to the less
important people--suddenly called out-- 'My dear; here's Mr. Charles Fitz-Marshall.' 'Oh
dear,' said Mrs. Leo Hunter, 'how anxiously I have been expecting him. Pray make room, to
let Mr. Fitz-Marshall pass. Tell Mr. Fitz-Marshall, my dear, to come up to me directly, to be
scolded for coming so late.' 'Coming, my dear ma'am,' cried a voice, 'as quick as I can--
crowds of people--full room--hard work--very.' Mr. Pickwick's knife and fork fell from his
hand. He stared across the table at Mr. Tupman, who had dropped his knife and fork, and
was looking as if he were about to sink into the ground without further notice.”

Something to look forward to in the March 2023 magazine………….

Too late for this issue, but look out for the report on the Grand Old Ordinary &
Penny Farthing races at Hillingdon Cycle Circuit organised by Mr Watty aided by
PrufSle & Co, to compete for the recently acquired (giant) Challenge Cup, and the
Veteran’s Tankard which originate from 1910. 20+ riders in each race, so it should
be quite an event.
