Hardcover. Condition: Very Good+. Limited Edition. Tiny wear to the corners of the front cover, slight mark to the rear cover. Front and rear pastedowns have offsetting from a previous dust jacket, no longer present.; William Makepeace Thackeray's (1811-1863) short story: a supposedly 'overheard' conversation by a Mr. Smith describing his forgoing a top class dinner to attend a friend's dinner in Hyde Park Gardens. The story lands the gentleman at his friend's house, finding that the friend had cancelled the dinner for 23 due to the birth of his 5th child. Humorous chaos ensues, the lady's maid will not allow the two men to leave for dinner at their club, Mr. Smith is soaked in the rain and cannot attend the top class dinner, he counts up the money and time the evening has cost him, and finds, after the fact, that he has been named godfather of the child. Told in Thackeray's witty, often scathingly satirical detail, it's a send up of the fumbling, yet aspiring, English not-quite-upper class. Not in the usual Thackeray cannon, this work first appeared in 1849 in the London periodical The Keepsake, then "probably less than a dozen" privately printed copies of an offprint.
