Meant to be humorous but just a sadly boring story about unlikeable people in mid-19th century London. Jokes relied on puns and double entendres, for example:

“…and a biffin, like a pincushion, had the flavour of bran—probably it was bran-new.”

Maybe this was resurrected for the quality of the illustrations as I understand the author primarily was known for that, however my e-copy was text only.
