I really wish that I was still continuing with this readalong. But sooooo sooooo busy right now and my brain can't focus on Dickens and his bajillion funny-named characters at the moment.

That's definitely how I roll with this book. <br /><br />COME ON, Lady D must be her mum? I feel like that was what was being hinted at?

I thought it was. I thought he was just continuing to be creepy and Esther didn't know it was from him.Redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16456600806188531803noreply@blogger.com
