Examples from Zoe's blog:
CHAPTER 31
Back in those days, people would die from any old infection,
like pink eye or the common cold. They didn’t know how it spread, whether it be
through touch, air, or contact with blood. When Charley gets sick, Esther
offers to take care of her one-on-one not letting anyone else come in contact
with her, which is all the more heroic because she will almost inevitably
become sick as well. Basically, this is a strange offer to make, and it
supports the theme of Duty as it pertains to Esther and her need to take care
of Charley.
CHAPTER 32
Krook spontaneously combusts at the end of this chapter.
This is terrible because Krook was supposed to hand over the letters Snagsby is
supposed to give to Lady Dedlock over to Weevle, from whom Guppy will steal
them. Back when this book came out, Dickens was mocked for his use of
combustion because it seemed so improbable, but his only defense was that he
thought it could happen.
CHAPTER 33
Krook, the storeowner who combusted was actually Mrs.
Smallweed’s brother! This means the Smallweeds will inherit all of Krook’s
property, since he has no other living relations. But in addition to the
property, they will also inherit all of the documents in Krook’s office (which
might include the letters).
