Book excerpt: Strictly speaking, there were only six Poor Travellers; but, being a Traveller myself, though an idle one, and being withal as poor as I hope to be, I brought the number upto seven. This word of explanation is due at once, for what says the inscription overthe quaint old door?RICHARD WATTS, Esq.by his Will, dated 22 Aug. 1579, founded this Charityfor Six poor Travellers, who not being ROGUES, or PROCTORS, May receive gratis for one Night, Lodging, Entertainment, and Fourpence each.It was in the ancient little city of Rochester in Kent, of all the good days in the yearupon a Christmas-eve, that I stood reading this inscription over the quaint old door inquestion. I had been wandering about the neighbouring Cathedral, and had seen thetomb of Richard Watts, with the effigy of worthy Master Richard starting out of it likea ship's figure-head; and I had felt that I could do no less, as I gave the Verger his fee, than inquire the way to Watts's Charity. The way being very short and very plain, Ihad come prosperously to the inscription and the quaint old door."Now," said I to myself, as I looked at the knocker, "I know I am not a Proctor; Iwonder whether I am a Rogue!"Upon the whole, though Conscience reproduced two or three pretty faces whichmight have had smaller attraction for a moral Goliath than they had had for me, whoam but a Tom Thumb in that way, I came to the conclusion that I was not aRogue. So, beginning to regard the establishment as in some sort my property, bequeathed to me and divers co-legatees, share and share alike, by the WorshipfulMaster Richard Watts, I stepped backward into the road to survey my inhe

Book excerpt: The Seven Poor Travellers by Charles Dickens. The story starts in a charity hospice in Rochester--a place that Dickens himself was familiar with from his own childhood. According to the will of the founder, Richard Watts, at Christmas the hospice must provide lodgings and entertainment for one night as well as some money to six poor people, an amount that is substantial enough to allow the travelers to buy a hearty meal. On Christmas Eve there are six people in the inn and the novels is composed from the six stories of the travelers who find shelter in the hospice, plus the narrator himself. The stories told by the travelers and the meal shared create a kind of harmony and a sense of community between the seven people--they all leave the inn the following day and life will probably take them to different places, but they will all cherish the memory of this one serene evening. Originally published in the Christmas edition of Household Words of 1854; when republished in the book Christmas Stories, the chapters were slightly changed.

Book excerpt: How is this book unique? Font adjustments & biography included Unabridged (100% Original content) Illustrated About The Seven Poor Travellers by Charles Dickens A short and inspirational work by Charles Dickens written as a Christmas story. Outshined by Dickens much more well known Christmas story, this story has received scant notice. Written in the first person, Dickens tell of being a "poor traveller," and discovering a humble inn during his travels. Set up as a charitable hostel by a gentlemen deceased over a century previously, the inn offers to "six poor traveller's," true in heart, free lodging for one night plus enough money to purchase a simple meal. After satisfying himself of the bona fides of this charitable work, the "seventh poor traveller," as Dickens refers to the narrator, determines to contribute his own gift to his fellow "traveller's," it being Christmas Eve. Securing a sumptuous meal for the holy occasion, and preparing his own secret recipe of wassail, he shares a most satisfying Christmas Eve meal with his fellows, topping off the night with a personal story that befits a Christ-like life of humble service to the meanest among us. The story told, and following activities, serve to illustrate well the concept Dickens wishes to drive home, which is that at best we are all "poor traveller's" together in this life, and make the best of it all by sharing with a true heart whatever good and honest fare comes our way. Without the burden of judging harshly those whom we encounter who seem beneath our station, true happiness may be achieved before we, too, depart this veil of tears.
