Last year I went on a Dickens binge.

He wrote for publication is magazines in segments. He apparently needed to meet a word quota..

At the end my conclusion was that so far as Charles Dickens is concerned, neber write 10 or even 20 words when you can write a hundred.

The Tale of Two Cities is not so word as some others.

Aside:

My grand father was from Knox county Tennessee where there are lots of Mynatt’s. The last time I read, actually watced, A Tale of Two Cities I wondered. Is Mynatt an Americanization of Doctor Manette

Dickenson sounds like a commie ...

neber write 10 or even 20 words when you can write a hundred.

They are mostly really good words, though. You will find this style in many British 19th Century authors.
