About this book
The History of Samuel Titmarsh and the Great Hoggarty Diamond is by William Makepeace Thackeray. A chapter heading reads "CHAPTER I GIVES AN ACCOUNT OF OUR VILLAGE AND THE FIRST GLIMPSE OF THE DIAMOND". The narrator says "my aunt Hoggarty made me a present of a diamond-pin; that is to say, it was not a diamond-pin then, but a large old-fashioned locket".
One passage says "the next morning Mamma and my sisters made breakfast for me at four, and at five came the “True Blue” light six-inside post-coach to London". A passage says "she vowed that at her decease she would leave every shilling to me". The text also has "a little gentleman in black came in from the next room" and says "this gentleman was evidently the apothecary".
