At the beginning of 1862, Charles Dickens resumed a regional reading tour, which had finished by February of that year, when Dickens turned 50. He then undertook a long series of London readings between March and June. In order to stay in London for these performances, Dickens swaps his Gads Hill residence for that of friends, the Hogge family, in Hyde Park Gate, South Kensington. At the end of October, Charles Dickens, accompanied by his daughter and sister-in-law, went to reside for a couple of months in Paris, taking an apartment in the Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré. He returned to his Gads Hill home in Kent for Christmas, before returning to Paris for a further two months in 1863.
