Excerpt from Memories of Charles Dickens: With an Account of Household Words and All the Year Round and of the Contributors Thereto
Sympathy shown by another for this tender penchant of his was, I firmly believe, the cause of his indul gence to myself. I propose, in illustration of his most interesting character, to give a special series of domestic pictures and sketches of him in his vie intime, which I think has not been done hitherto to any extent. It will be seen presently that I was a privileged person in many ways, and that to me he showed many facets of his delightful nature, and of which there is no record to be found elsewhere. I see no reason why I should not strive to increase the general love and admiration by setting these sketches before the public.
