Summary[edit]
DescriptionThe Wedding Dinner at Greenwich (August, 1865).jpg |
English: John Rokesmith and Bella enjoying their wedding dinner with Bella's father
The Wedding Dinner at Greenwich by Marcus Stone. Wood engraving by Dalziel. 9 cm high x 13.6 cm wide, vignetted. Second illustration for the sixteenth monthly number of Our Mutual Friend, Chapter Four, "A Runaway Match," in the fourth book, "A Turning." The Authentic edition, facing p. 580. The "runaway match" alluded to in the chapter title is that of Bella Wilfer and John Rokesmith, who clandestinely meet and are married in the church at Greenwich, with Bella's father, R. W., and a pensioner of the Greenwich Naval Hospital ("Gruff and Glum" as they mentally nickname him) as witnesses. Having informed Mrs. Wilfer of the fact through the penny post, the couple and R. W. enjoy a wedding breakfast at Rokesmith's rented cottage on Blackheath, not far from Greenwich in Lewisham (curiously enough, the site is associated with Wat Tyler's ill-fated rebellion, to which Dickens alludes earlier in the instalment — Book Four, Chapter One). Later in the day, in a scene chosen by Marcus Stone as the subject of the second August 1865 illustration, the newlyweds and the "Cherub," Bella's father, have a celebratory dinner at a hotel in Greenwich overlooking the Thames, the connecting thread between so many characters and situations in the novel. The precise moment depicted is the groom's consulting the head waiter about beverages to be served with the ensuing meal, the day's offerings of wine and spirits presumably being on the list that John Rokesmith holds in his left hand as he confers with the waiter.
