I'm a Living Dickens Character!

This week I learned that Charles Dickens invented me in 1872! I had no idea. Look, I have proof: click here.

I feel so much more important now. It’s wonderful to learn that I’m a figment of my favorite novelist’s imagination. I suppose this means I must take up wearing crinolines and corsets, speak in dulcet-toned King's English all the time and faint more often. Well, if it means enjoying carriage rides through London, attending regular afternoon tea parties, wearing Victorian hats and going on long walks through Dickens’ imagination, perhaps it’s worth it.
