Mr. Dickens... A jolly good day to you, sir! I was wondering what you thought of the most recent cinematic production of your smashing story that Mmle. Paltrow portrayed with just a touch more warmth than, I believe, was intended by you... and a good deal more skin, I might add. I realize you are at a disadvantage in totally understanding our society, but did you feel the essence remained intact? Also, not having the book in front of me, did you mean to insinuate that that dastardly person who "shackled" Maggie's brains, had insinuated himself upon her previously in a highly personal manner (and with her permission, it seems)? ...or was that a film director's licence? Thank you, Charles Glendinning
