THE FIRST DAY’S JOURNEY, AND THE FIRSTEVENING’S ADVENTURES; WITH THEIR CONSEQUENCES hat punctual servant of all work, the sun, had just risen,and begun to strike a light on the morning of thethirteenth of May, one thousand eight hundred andtwenty-seven, when Mr. Samuel Pickwick burst like another sunfrom his slumbers3, threw open his chamber4 window, and lookedout upon the world beneath. Goswell Street was at his feet,Goswell Street was on his right hand―as far as the eye couldreach, Goswell Street extended on his left; and the opposite side ofGoswell Street was over the way. ‘Such,’ thought Mr. Pickwick,‘are the narrow views of those philosophers who, content withexamining the things that lie before them, look not to the truthswhich are hidden beyond. As well might I be content to gaze onGoswell Street for ever, without one effort to penetrate6 to thehidden countries which on every side surround it.’ And havinggiven vent1 to this beautiful reflection, Mr. Pickwick proceeded toput himself into his clothes, and his clothes into his portmanteau.
Great men are seldom over scrupulous7 in the arrangement of theirattire; the operation of shaving, dressing9, and coffee-imbibing wassoon performed; and, in another hour, Mr. Pickwick, with hisportmanteau in his hand, his telescope in his greatcoat pocket, andhis note-book in his waistcoat, ready for the reception of anydiscoveries worthy10 of being noted11 down, had arrived at the coach-stand in St. Martin’s-le-Grand. ‘Cab!’ said Mr. Pickwick.
‘Here you are, sir,’ shouted a strange specimen12 of the humanrace, in a sackcloth coat, and apron
