About this book

Pearl-Fishing; Choice Stories from Dickens' Household Words; Second Series is credited to Charles Dickens. One story has a man with a trembling hand and quivering knees who goes through the processes of the toilet, gashing his cheek with the razor, and proceeds on his way to a church where the fair Natalie and her friends arrive. Natalie asks, "What ails you, my dear husband?"

Another piece says the nightcap is not an elegant head-dress but that its comfort is undeniable, and calls it a diadem of night. Marguerite, opening the inner door, says "It is only an old friend, sir," and her master perceives the red face of Monsieur Ramin.
