<P> Other notable adventures include Mr Pickwick 's attempts to defend a lawsuit brought by his landlady , Mrs Bardell , who ( through an apparent misunderstanding on her part ) is suing him for breach of promise . Another is Mr Pickwick 's incarceration at Fleet Prison for his stubborn refusal to pay the compensation to her -- because he does n't want to give a penny to Mrs Bardell 's lawyers , the unscrupulous firm of Messrs. Dodson and Fogg . The generally humorous tone is here briefly replaced by biting social satire ( including satire of the legal establishment ) . This foreshadows major themes in Dickens 's later books . </P>
