I love how Dickens refers to Lavinia as 'the Irrepressible'. That's hilarious. She's a good character. So many strong female characters in this book!

"You're a dear, a dear, the best of dears' cried Bella. 'You're the best of human creatures. I can never be thankful enough for you, and can never forget you. If I should live to be blind and deaf, I know I shall see and hear you, in my fancy, to the last of my dim old days!"

WOW

I'm starting to see the theme of this book- how wealth corrupts people.
