In Charles Dickens’ short story, ‘Mrs. Lirriper’s Lodgings’, a recently widowed landlady is called upon to bring up an abandoned child. Mrs. Lirriper and her longtime lodger, the Major, entertain the child by relating stories of their colorful fellow lodgers. Before long, the landlady and the Major are involved in their own suspenseful tale. Originally published in the 1863 Christmas issue of ‘All The Year Round’, this story was a collaboration with other writers including Elizabeth Gaskell and Charles Collins (brother of Wilkie).
