Involving another Journey, and an Antiquarian Discovery;
Recording1 Mr. Pickwick’s Determination to be present at an Election; and containing a Manuscript of the old Clergyman’s
A night of quiet and
repose2 in the profound silence of Dingley Dell, and an hour’s breathing of its fresh and
fragrant3 air on the ensuing morning, completely recovered Mr. Pickwick from the effects of his late
fatigue4 of body and anxiety of mind. That illustrious man had been separated from his friends and fol lowers for two whole days; and it was with a degree of pleasure and delight, which no common imagination can adequately conceive, that he stepped forward to greet Mr. Winkle and Mr. Snodgrass, as he encountered those gentlemen on his return from his early walk. The pleasure was
mutual6; for who could ever gaze on Mr. Pickwick’s beaming face without experiencing the sensation? But still a cloud seemed to hang over his companions which that great man could not but be sensible of, and was wholly at a loss to account for. There was a mysterious air about them both, as unusual as it was alarming.
‘And how,’ said Mr. Pickwick, when he had grasped his
followers7 by the hand, and exchanged warm salutations of welcome —‘how is Tupman?’
Mr. Winkle, to whom the question was more peculiarly addressed, made no reply. He turned away his head, and appeared absorbed in
melancholy9 reflection.
‘Snodgrass,’ said Mr. Pickwick earnestly, ‘how is our friend — he is not ill?’
‘No,’ replied Mr. Snodgrass; and a tear trembled on his
sentimental10 eyelid11, like a rain-drop on a window-frame–‘no; he is not ill.’
