"In due time, Mr. Micawber’s petition was ripe for hearing; and that gentleman was ordered to be discharged under the Act, to my great joy. His creditors were not implacable; and Mrs. Micawber informed me that even the revengeful boot-maker had declared in open court that he bore him no malice, but that when money was owing to him he liked to be paid. He said he thought it was human nature."
That’s David Copperfield, not Pickwick. Pickwick was jailed for allegedly not following through on a promise to marry. Bleak House has the ultimate deadbeat, Skimpole, evicted from everywhere. He is NOT a sympathetic character.
