Summary
Discussing his "Reading idea," mentioning that Forster is "extraordinarily irrational about it," and that he suggested Dickens consult "F.L.A.D.G.A.T.E.!" Noting that the "Doncaster unhappiness remains so strong upon [Dickens] that [he] can't write, and (waking) can't rest, one minute," and that he has known no peace since the final performance of The Frozen Deep, supposing "there never was a Man so seized and rended by one Spirit."
