'Tom Smithers was a member of the Honourable Society of the Middle on Christmas Day, 184-, Tom found himself with no invitation to his way back to Chambers, he casts up a disconsolate glance at the house. Can it be? There is light in the kitchen - there is light in the drawingroom! Huzza! "They are at home !" And he knew them of old - the best people alive; and their house he knows for a house where reign truth, kindliness, and a hearty welcome, without ostentation; and which is warmed by that best of Christmas fires, the warmth of honest and loving hearts: [soon] Tom Smithers is shaking the house where you ought to DINE ON A CHRISTMAS DAY'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
