Humphrey's Clock (Master Humphrey's Clock) is a weekly paper entirely written by Charles Dickens and published from April 4, 1840 to April 4, 1841. First presented with a story-frame in which Master Humphrey recounts and evokes the circle of His friends, all zealous storytellers including The Pickwick Papers, soon added several news, then the novels The Store of Antiquities and Barnaby Rudge. Master Humphrey is a lonely Londoner of a certain age who likes to collect old manuscripts carefully kept in an old clock at the corner of the fireplace. One fine morning he decided to found a small circle named The Clock of Master Humphrey, whose members would read all their manuscripts. In addition to Mr. Humphrey himself, there was Jack Redburn, a gentleman afflicted with deafness, Owen Miles, a retired merchant, and Mr. Pickwick, well known to the readers. In the kitchen is the club of servants, led by Sam Weller, the faithful servant of Mr. Pickwick, and who understands the good of Master Humphrey, the barber and, of course, Sam Weller in person. After The Old Curiosity Shop, Master Humphrey introduces Barnaby Rudge, then he is left to his thoughts by the corner of the fireplace. The deaf gentleman takes over; Later, he and his friends return to Humphrey's house where he finds him dead. He bequeathed money to the barber and maid, probably destined to unite by marriage. The deaf man and another friend take care of the house of the deceased and close the club.
