Yup, the apathy one is our best I reckon.
And I've discovered Quilp doesn't eat bottles. He eats eggshells. By the way, anyone discovered what he actually wants to DO to Little Nell? S & M? Oh, and how old is she? Eleven? Twelve? I think Dickens is on the edge here. Eleven or twelve-year-old prostitutes were common in Victorian London. As they are in Modern Bangkok I'm told.
Heavens it doesn't bear thinking about, does it?
