Household Words (1.1.1853) 'Where We Stopped Growing'

I'm reading an extract from 'Household Words', January 1st, 1853, Volume 6. ‘Where We Stopped Growing’ by Charles Dickens. #Dickens part-based the character of Miss Havisham in Great Expectations (1861) on his childhood recollections of the ‘White Woman’ of Berners Street, London. He wrote about the ‘White Woman’ in this article. (Image = Great Expectations. Wood-engraving by Marcus Stone (1862). Image source: The Victorian Web. Scanned image and text by Philip V.
