In "the Chimes" - we find 9 yrs have passed & Trotty's now on a vision of the future as a ghost, similar to Scrooge in "A Christmas Carol". But instead of his own wicked deeds, a commentary on humanity - we have a commentary on poverty, classism, etc. I'm not sure how his fortune is supposed to change by the end? But we shall see!

Still a little unclear on what haunts the man... I THINK I get it, but something in the way it was written was hard to follow. Not too old-timey, but still - difficult. Glad this one seems to be ending on a happy enough note, & excited to back track & read the story I saved for last, so then I can get on with reading other things.

Partially through "the Haunted Man"... Not too sure yet exactly how he's haunted? But he just arrived at the business/home of a poor family who's housing a young man. We'll see what comes of that?
