Great piece @nytimes
There was the workhouse, the dreary prison of his youthful days, with its dismal windows frowning on the street. - Charles Dickens, 'Oliver Twist', 1839.
Dickens has an unerring knack for the chillingly relatable. How I wish relaxation came more easily: 'I have now no relief but in action. I am become incapable of rest. I am quite confident I should rust, break, and die, if I spared myself. Much better to die, doing.'
If the Illustrated Police News is anything to go by, a shocking number of Victorian crimes were committed by cats #truestory #victoriancrime #Sherlock
'I have yet to learn that a lesson of the purest good may not be drawn from the vilest evil' (Oliver Twist)
'It opens the lungs, washes the countenance, exercises the eyes, and softens down the temper. So cry away' (Oliver Twist)
"Some people are nobody's enemies but their own" (Oliver Twist)
"We look over our list, and can neither recommend the bashful young gentleman, nor the out-and-out young gentleman, nor the very friendly young gentleman, nor the military young gentleman, nor the political young gentleman, nor the domestic young gentleman..."
