'A Little Dinner at Timmins's' is a novella written by William Makepeace Thackeray. The story begins by introducing us to a couple, Mr. and Mrs. Fitzroy Timmins, who live in a genteel neighborhood in Lilliput Street. Mrs. Timmins comes from a good family, with her mother always reminding Mr. Timmins of their distant relationship to the Earl of Bungay. Mr. Timmins is a lawyer with chambers in Fig-tree Court, Temple and practices on the Northern Circuit. He recently received a favorable outcome in a legal case and celebrated by purchasing several items, including a couple of mirrors, a coral for the baby, two dresses for Mrs. Timmins, and a rosewood desk.
