The story is within a small family. The husband, John Peerybingle who is a carrier and his wife Dot who is very young. They have a son and their nanny lives with them. It is this chirps of this Cricket, which makes them feel the security and sense some danger that comes to the house. One fine day, a mysterious elderly stranger visits this family and takes up lodging with them for a few days.
Quotes by Charles Dickens
From WikiquoteMr. Augustus Minns was a bachelor, of about forty as he said — of about eight-and-forty as his friends said. He was always exceedingly clean, precise, and tidy: perhaps somewhat priggish, and the most retiring man in the world.
If any one were to ask me what in my opinion was the dullest and most stupid spot on the face of the Earth, I should decidedly say Chelmsford.
To conceal anything from those to whom I am attached, is not in my nature. I can never close my lips where I have opened my heart.
