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

My heart is set, as firmly as ever heart of man was set on woman. I have no thought, no view, no hope, in life beyond her; and if you oppose me in this great stake, you take my peace and happiness in your hands, and cast them to the wind.
