This volume comprises the first part of the novel, ending with Mrs. Lammle warning Twemlow. It is indeed wonderful to read Dickens this way...instead of one huge massive novel, it seems closer to the experience his devoted readers had as they waited for his next installment. Anticipation of Lizzie, the Boffins (those wonderful Boffins), Headstone, and Wegg...oh my, what will happen next? And how many more characters will he bring into the story?
With camels representing the nouveau riche, Dickens attacks those self-centered yuppies, who live in self-centered worlds based on self-centered show rather than basic practicality. The Veneerings, with their names of varnish, and then the introduction of PODSNAPPERY...all of them fitting quite nicely into the 21st century...with 19th century sarcasm.
