What Can We Say Of Charles Dickens That ...
who can be jolly under the dismallest of circumstances . And Pecksniff hypocrite , and Jonas assassin , and Gamp , the immortal Gamp . Snuffy , grinny Gamp—Gamp who is rather more than a man and just a trifle less than a woman . And Mercy , poor Mercy , and Cherry the Shrew . See how they pass away . Ah , here is Dombey—cold , stern Dombey , weeping o ' er the coffin of his little son . And Florence , sweet patient Florence , stands beside him , whispering words of consolation into his grief dumb ears . And see there is Captain Cuttle , and the friendly Toots . And the serpent Carker , and Kdith proud and scornful . More yet . Nicholas Nickleby at Squeers ' . See how wretched the boys are in spite of the smiles of Miss Fanny , and the brimstone and treacle of the Master ' s wife . And there is John the genial Yorkshireman , and Crummies , with his " real pump and splendid tubs " ( a character that should not be lost upon Mr . Dion Boucicault ) , and poor Smike . And see Mrs . Nickleby , full of ideas and anecdotes , —so full , that they mix together in a sad jumble , reminding one of a badly-dressed salad . And there , too , is Ralph Nickleby , stern Ralph Nickleby , moneylender and brute , and Kate , sweet Kate , and Lord Verisopht , and Sir Mulberry Hawk . And again the vision fades . Little Dorrit is here now , with her patient , loving face . And see , the Circumlocution Office is again open to the public , and still attempts the solution of that most difficult of problems , " how not to do it . " And the shadow , the blighting shadow , of the Marshalsea falls across the vision , and it fades away . But why should we write further . Is not every character we have mentioned known and admired by the whole nation ? Do not the creations of Dickens belong to us , live among us ? And he has gone ! This great magician of the pen has gone . Writing to the last , good , noble words , fighting to the last against Evil and Sham . He has gone for ever , leaving us to mourn for him , —leaving us to sigh as we discover in the Shadow of Death " The Mystery of Edwin Drood !'
