What a fascinating story, and remarkable a woman. The collective noun 'the rich' is so inaccurate. There are all shades in there, as in every group, but mostly those two categories: the tethered and the untethered. Not a poor little rich girl, this one. Kindness and a clear sense of self do make a difference. This amitie amoureuse is a joy to read about.
Beautiful writing, a treat indeed to sit here with my morning drink reading this. You express perfectly the difference and dilemma between imagining riches and what doors they would open, (you stole my wish list with the Cheyne Walk house and animal sanctuary!) and being born into them.
Beautifully written and wonderfully informative. As a Dickens fan, I really enjoyed this essay. It was great to have a glimpse into the fascinating relationship of these two remarkable people. Thank you.

Thank you for this beautiful response! So glad you enjoyed the story, I just love Angela and Charles with all my heart.
