The last hundred pages have been dominated by four plot events: everyone catching pneumonia, a lady of the nobility doing Scooby Doo villain tactics to hide her family secrets, a disgusting, evil old guy bursting into flames and dying at random, and an unrelated evil old guy doing some sort of elaborate scam whose details I frankly don't care about. London and its environs in the 1830s must have been rough areas.

This barely seems like a novel at this point; it's largely an exercise in Dickens making up funny little characters with which to populate London. This is for the best. Dickens is very good at coming up with odd fellows and situating them in this world of inscrutable signs where nobody understands each other in a foggy metropolis wrought by murk and paucity, while the story's central romance is a flat-out snoozefest
