"A Passage in the Life of Mr. Watkins Tottle" (SB 54), appeared originally published as "Chapter the First" and "Chapter the Second" in two numbers of The Monthly Magazine, January and February, 1835. It was my intention to read the whole of this "Passage" but it just so happens that the second chapter is the longest of all the Sketches I've read up to know and I NEED to go to bed, so I'll just leave you, with Mr. Watkins Tottle, longing to get married, having finally met a prospective candidate, awaiting to make a deeper acquaintance. In the meantime, his good friend Mr. Gabriel Parsons has just told him the most extraordinary story about his courting his wife and the way they spent their wedding-night. Not in the way you would expect, really... Tomorrow, the denouement of this chapter in the life of Mr. Tottle.Monday 13 February 2012
