Returning to town in the stage-coach, which was filled with Mr. Gilman's guests, we stopped for a minute or two at Kentish Town. A woman asked the coachman, Are you full inside? Upon which Lamb put his head through the window and said, I am quite full inside; that last piece of pudding at Mr. Gilman's did the business for me. ✨ Bartlett's Familiar Quotations. Book by John G.
