Martin Chuzzlewit Chapter 7

In which the obliging Mr Pinch and industrious Martin encounter the peculiar Mr Tigg, who brings news of a distressed acquaintance detained over a tavern bill, leading to a curious and somewhat comical interlude at the Blue Dragon public house. Meanwhile, the faithful and whimsical Mark Tapley resolves to seek new adventures beyond the village, departing with warm farewells and a hopeful heart.
