Fantastic close reading, and a very good discipline for me, I always read too fast. I've never even noticed Mrs Piper, and if it had come up in a quiz I would have sworn blind that I knew the novel inside out and there was no such person! It's so lovely just to be reminded of what an extraordinary comic genius Dickens was. Thank you!

Isn’t she great? I love these characters in Dickens
I LOVE Bleak House, it’s one of my favourite Dickens novels.
Same!
Yes exactly--he’s even known as “the chancellor”. Honestly I’m trying to resist writing a close reading of every minor character.
Hmm I don’t know... many years since my last read... shall report back as I get further
