Charles Dickens
I had seen the damp lying on the outside of my little window, as if some goblin had been crying there all night, and using the window for a pocket-handkerchief.
Charles Dickens
Let us be moral. Let us contemplate existence.
Charles Dickens
Hours are golden links--God's tokens reaching heaven.
Charles Dickens
Tongue well that's a wery good thing when it an't a woman.
Charles Dickens
Around and around the house the leaves fall thick, but never fast, for they come circling down with a dead lightness that is sombre and slow.
Charles Dickens
A very little key will open a very heavy door.
Charles Dickens
All partings foreshadow the great final one.
