[Vwoolf] "Talk to me, Henry"

Tue Jul 26 11:32:01 EDT 2016

Hope you can see this cartoon from “Punch”, 4 March 1931, p. 235.  It seems to depict Mrs Barfoot being pushed by Mr Dickens (“At three Mr. Dickens, the bath-chair man, had called for Mrs. Barfoot”), whose name turns out to be Henry.  Significantly, he is pushing in the opposite direction from “Mount Pleasant” (Mr Dickens “was thinking how Captain Barfoot was now on his way to Mount Pleasant [the name of Betty Flanders’s house]; Captain Barfoot, his master”).
