Was I starting to think like Old Lady Drambach? When we were reading A Tale of Two Cities, she was constantly hinting that maybe Charles Dickens wasn’t the greatest human being who ever lived, especially on the domestic front.
“He forced his wife to leave his home when he took up with an actress. He was forty-five, and she was just a few years older than you, just eighteen.”
This piqued the interest of the ninety per cent of the class who thought that Sydney Carton was an idiot.
“What did he look like? Was he hot?”
“That’s him? That’s Chuck Dickens?”
“What’s with that beard?”
“Check out the male pattern baldness.”
“That’s nasty.”
“Would you? I wouldn’t!”
