[Vwoolf] "*Talk* to me, Henry"

[Stuart N. Clarke]

Although you couldn’t see it clearly in the copy of the cartoon I sent, Mr Dickens is pushing Mrs Barfoot towards “Spa Drive” (in Scarborough, of course).  Below is a snap I took yesterday, just above the Spa Complex (in Scarborough, of course).

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”).
