Mrs. Lirriper's Lodgings is a novella written by Charles Dickens. The story is set in London and revolves around Mrs. Lirriper, a widow who runs a boarding house. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part introducing the reader to Mrs. Lirriper and her lodgers. The second part of the book follows the story of one of Mrs. Lirriper's lodgers, a young girl named Adelaide, who is forced to leave the boarding house after her father dies. Adelaide's story is one of hardship and struggle, but ultimately ends in triumph as she finds love and happiness. Throughout the book, Dickens explores themes of poverty, class, and the human capacity for kindness and compassion. Mrs. Lirriper's Lodgings is a heartwarming and uplifting story that showcases Dickens' masterful storytelling and his ability to capture the human experience with empathy and insight.Whoever would begin to be worried with letting Lodgings that wasn't a lone woman with a living to get is a thing inconceivable to me, my dear; excuse the familiarity, but it comes natural to me in my own little room, when wishing to open my mind to those that I can trust, and I should be truly thankful if they were all mankind, but such is not so, for have but a Furnished bill in the window and your watch on the mantelpiece.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
