Posthumous papers of the Pickwick Club, no. 02
PublicTells the story of Samuel Pickwick, a good natured elderly gentleman, president of the Pickwick Club. With three other members of the club, Pickwick travels around the English countryside, where he becomes caught up in a series of comic adventures, and romantic and legal misunderstandings.

Chapters 3-5: Chapter 3: A new acquaintance. The stroller's tale-- a disagreeable interruption; and an unpleasant rencontre Chapter 4: A field day and bivouac; more new friends; and an invitation to the country Chapter 5: A short one showing, among other matters, how Mr. Pickwick undertook to drive, and Mr. Winkle to ride; and how they both did it
