Mr Pickwick and his friends founded a school (club) in Edinburgh (London). They planned to travel around Scotland (England) to observe people. During their first flight (journey) to Glasgow (Rochester) they met a young singer (actor) called Jingle. Later that day Jingle and Mr Tupman went to a dinner (dance) at their hotel. Jingle did not have a blue (elegant) coat so they borrowed Mr Winkle’s. At the dance Jingle offended Professor (Doctor) Slammer, who challenged him to a duel. Jingle agreed (refused) to duel. Later, Mr Tupman (Winkle) was challenged because they thought he was Jingle. When Professor (Doctor) Slammer realised that Winkle was a different person, he continued (stopped) the duel. Then the group travelled to Manor Castle (Farm) to spend some time with the Wardle family. There they met Jingle at a football (cricket) match and invited him to the castle (farm). Later that day, Mr Tupman told Rachael, Mr Wardle’s sister that he loved her and they kissed. A servant saw them and told Rachael’s brother (mother) about it. Jingle didn’t hear (heard) them saying that Rachael had some money. To convince Rachael to elope with him, Jingle told her that Mr Tupman loved Emily. Mr Wardle and Mr Tupman (Pickwick) followed Jingle and Rachael, and after an adventurous chase they found the couple in Dublin (London). Mr Wardle paid £1,200 (£120) to Jingle to get Rachael back and they returned to Manor Castle (Farm).

Mr Pickwick and his friends followed Jingle to Bury St Edmunds (Ispwich). They discovered that Jingle was going to marry a girl from the Nupkins family. Mr Pickwick didn’t tell (told) Mr Nupkins the truth about Jingle. The Nupkinses were very happy (angry) and sent Jingle away. The Pickwickians returned to Dublin (London) because Mr Pickwick had to go to prison (court) for the trial. Mr Pickwick won (lost) the case and had to decide either to pay Mrs Bardell damages of £650 (£750) or go to prison. Mr Pickwick believed that he was guilty (innocent) and did not pay. The Fleet Prison was a terrible place and Mr Pickwick felt miserable. His friends visited and asked him to leave the prison. Mr Pickwick stayed and Mr Winkle (Sam) moved in too to keep him company. Later they met Jingle and Job in the prison. After Jingle had apologised, Mr Pickwick forgave him and helped him get a private room and a holiday (job). Mrs Bardell and her daughter (son) were also in prison. Mr Perker visited Mr Pickwick to tell him that Sam wanted to marry Mary. Finally Mr Pickwick paid the damages and they left the prison. Sam, Mr Snodgrass and Mr Tupman all got married. In September (November) they held the last meeting of the Pickwick Club where all the members cheered Mr Pickwick.
