" Dickens then fancies himself as a travelling clock-maker, getting a job to repair the turret stable clock at the Hall (Cobham Hall). " Our task at length accomplished, we should be taken into an enormous servants' hall, and there regaled with beef and bread and powerful ale. Then paid freely we should be at liberty to go, and should be told by a pointing helper to keep round over yinder by the blasted ash, and so straight through the woods, till we should see the town lights right afore us. S...o should we lie that night at the ancient sign of the Crispin and Crispanus (at Strood), and rise early next morning to be betimes on tramp again. " The tramping bricklayers and their ways, the tramping soldier, " his legs well chafed by his trousers of baize, " the tramping sailor and others are next taken, and the paper closes with a vivid description of a famous camping ground near Gad's Hill, for which see the chapter on Gad's Hill. DULLBOROUGH ToWN, *' my boyhood's home, is of course Rochester, and in this paper are some of the best of the many glimpses given in the writings of Dickens of his own childhood in this place.
