You see, his wife is a religious woman.When we catch up with him, however, he’s not at Tellson’s.Come to think of it, our narrator seems to think that the whole system is pretty unjust.As he says, putting people to death is the answer for everything: murders and petty thieves tend to get the same punishment, regardless of how unjust this seems to be.In a typically sneaky Dickensian move, the narrator transitions from talking about Tellson’s to meditating on the state of justice in England.He’s making the most of the chances he has. Since most of this novel is set in France, he doesn’t have too many opportunities to catalog life in London.Why? Well, Dickens’ style tends to focus on the tiny details that construct everyday life in London. ![]()
