Overview

Excerpt from Mr. Nightingale's Diary: A Farce in One Act

Bless you, sir, I 've been landlord of this place these two years! Ever since you did me that great kindness, - ever since you paid out that execution for me when I was in the greengro'cery way, and used to wait at your parties in the Temple - which is five years ago come Christmas, - I've been (through a little legacy my wife dropped into) in the public line. I'm overjoyed to see you, sir. How do you do, sir? Do you find yourself pretty well, sir?

About the Author

About The Author
Charles Dickens (1812-1870) is probably the greatest novelist England has ever produced, the author of such famous books as A Christmas Carol, Hard Times, Great Expectations, David Copperfield, and Oliver Twist. His innate comic genius and shrewd depictions of Victorian life — along with his indelible characters — have made his books beloved by readers the world over. Dickens was born in Landport, Portsea, England and died in Kent after suffering a stroke. The second of eight children of a family continually plagued by debt, the young Dickens came to know hunger, privation, and the horrors of the infamous debtors' prison and the evils of child labor. These unfortunate early life experiences helped shape many of his greatest works.
