Thanks Deborah! I've already pulled my copy off the shelf and have it in the wings waiting. :)

Me too. But I have another copy on the way. A friend is loaning me the annotated edition.

I'm jealous. I am still trying to finish Littke Dorrit. I love it, but it's a bit hard to read with construction workers in house everyday.

Just try to imagine you're living Chez Mrs Clennam.

Ha ha ha. The darkness in that house would get to me. One room had to be emptied of furniture, books, OED, etc. All that stuff is throughout the house creating chaos. The noise alone makes me nuts.

Hi Everyone. I'm looking forward to our discussions. That being said, my husband's best friend died last night. I need to fly to Tennessee on Thursday morning. While I will bring all my info with me, I'm not sure what I'm walking into. Please be patient with me if the first thread ends up posted too early or late. Thanks

Oh dear Debs, sorry to hear that. Don't worry about us, we will manage until you get back. xx

Deborah, I'm sorry to hear about your husband's friend. As Madge says, we'll manage.
