‘How true to Nature, even to their most trivial details, almost every character and every incident in the works of the great novelist whose dust has just been laid to rest, really were, is best known to those whose tastes or whose duties led them to frequent the paths of life from which Dickens delighted to draw. But none, except medical men, can judge of the rare fidelity with which he followed the great Mother through the devious paths of disease and death.’

``对于大自然，甚至最琐碎的细节，这位伟大的小说家的作品中几乎每个角色和每一个事件的真实情况都是如此。让狄更斯乐于从中汲取灵感的生活之路。但是，除了医务人员外，没有人能断定他通过伟大的疾病和死亡之路跟随这位伟大的母亲所表现出的难得的忠诚。
