CHARLES DICKENS Known by the sobriquet of "The Artful Dodger."
CHARLES DICKENS

For you, and for any dear to you, I would do anything. I would embrace any sacrifice for you and for those dear to you. And when you see your own bright beauty springing up anew at your feet, think now and then that there is a man who would give his life, to keep a life you love beside you.
