I'm reading from Bleak House (1853) by Charles #Dickens, Chapter 47 (XLVII), ‘Jo’s Will’. Jo’s final moments. Jo is thought to have been inspired by a real-life crossing-sweep called George Ruby. Find-out more in my article about the enduring legacy of Charles Dickens. http://comestepbackintime.wordpress.com/2014/01/30/the-enduring-legacy-of-charles-dickens/ (Image = Photographic reproduction of a line drawing from Dickens’ Dream Children, p.221.
