Can you imagine Dickens getting drunk!? He certainly wrote a realistic "dissipation" scene! (That word reminds me of Darcy's letter to Elizabeth - when describing Wickham he says Wickham's life was one of "idleness and dissipation.")
We should totally bring back the word dissipation.
I loved that scene!
ReplyDeleteThat is a pretty good word! I'm going to start David Copperfield tomorrow! I'm glad you're still enjoying it!
