I must confess I had the same reaction. I know the meaning of words change but the effect is hilarious.

I never read Dickens until I retired. I saw several versions of The Christmas Carol and the movie, A Tale of Two Cities. They seemed okay. However, when I read these stories. I was amazed by his craftsmanship and his beautifully conceived stories. He is now one of my favorite authors. This story, so beautifully narrated, added to my favorable impressions of Mr.Dickens. Thank you for this.

It may sound corny but for many Christmases I had a tradition of re-reading "A Christmas Carol" every year because each year I seemed to associate with a different character. Dickens is a giant!

Forgiveness doesn't free the wicked from their evil deeds. Rather, it frees the wounded, allowing their lives more peace. Thank you Sir for a lovely narration.

A tale of such haunting beauty and convoluted wonder.

Thank you, this is another Charles Dickens short story that was hitherto unfamiliar to me. I wonder if anyone with better historical knowledge than mine can enlighten me on the last remark about the sons Doubledick and the French officer fighting side-by-side? Does anyone know which conflict Dickens was referring to? (If he had lived 50 years later, I would have thought he meant WW1!)

Thank you for listening, Katy. It’s a really lovely story, similar to his redemption tales more well known to us, but without the supernatural element. Incidentally I believe the conflict which the sons would have fought in was probably the Crimean War (1853-1856) as allies against Russia.
