Loose ends answered:
- The jaw/skull conundrum, still waiting for appointment.
- The splot ointment – being applied, still waiting for result.
- “Bleak House” – finished, magnificent – now re-embarked upon the good ship “Nicholas Nickleby“.
- P’s Dance Exam – she had proper butterflies, but reportedly it was a success – I think she was slightly disappointed that she wasn’t judged by a “Len Goodman” type panel.
- The birthday party: booked, a paint-your-own-pottery type deal.
So, Dickens: Like Spielberg, incredible manipulation of emotion. Multi-threaded, each part calculated with a precise narrative weight. The satires resonate today.
