“DICKENS FELLOWSHIP CELEBRATES ANNIVERSARY OF AUTHOR'S BIRTH,” Toronto Globe. February 10, 1933. Page 9.  ---- Characters from the immortal works of Charles Dickens came into being last night in Jarvis Street Collegiate, when the Dickens Fellowship, Toronto Branch, No. 32, celebrated the 121st anniversary of the author's birth with a special program. Some of the costumed folk are pictured above by The Globe photographer. At the left are Misses Jean and Betty Kirkness, as Two Ladies from Mrs. Jarley's Waxworks, with Mr. Micawber, ably characterized by A. J. Rostance. In the centre are L. R. Hopper, as Whistle from the Pickwick Papers, and Miss Vera Butcher, as a Shepherdess. At the right are a trio from Dombey and Son, H. M. Newton, as a Showman; little Miss Dorothy Martin, as Florence Dombey; and Mrs. Agnes Martin, as Nurse Pickard with Little Paul.

I had to go for a 'walk about' because of non-political reasons (read: Dumbass Roomates not going to work) Some (real if creepy) silliness from 'Ye Olde Curiosity Shop' in downtown. A few 'bits' for my dearest one in Brum, and of course bronze duck feets in a random Seattle Sidewalk...

the simple fact of Gordon Freeman being from Seattle means I know literally everything about him. I know what you are you big fucking dork

There are chords in the human heart—strange, varying strings—which are only struck by accident; which will remain mute and senseless to appeals the most passionate and earnest, and respond at last to the slightest casual touch.

This dress has seen extensive use over the years. Its first sighting was on actress Sheila Raynor as Tabitha Aykroyd in the 1973 mini-series The Brontës of Haworth. In 1978 it was spotted on Pippa Guard as Maggie Tulliver in The Mill on the Floss. The following year it made a very brief appearance on an extra in The Old Curiosity Shop. 1985’s The Pickwick Papers recycled the dress for use on Tamsin Heatley in the role of Mary, and in 1999 Justine Waddell wore the costume as Molly Gibson in Wives and Daughters. In 2007, the gown was worn by Julia Sawalha as Jessie Brown in Cranford, and finally in 2019 on Gemma Whelan as Marian Lister in Gentleman Jack.

Pawnshops like the Stuyvesant Curiosity Shop did good business during the Depression. This is Third Avenue near 10th St. in February, 1937.

In the distance you can see the sign for Sig Klein's Fat Men's Shop, shown below a year or two before.

It was but imagination, yet imagination had all the terrors of reality; nay, it was worse, for the reality would have come and gone, and there an end, but in imagination it was always coming, and never went away.
