In "Bleak House," by Charles Dickens, Part 3 begins with a scene involving a character named Charley, who is struggling with her writing skills. The narrator observes Charley as she attempts to write letters, humorously noting how her pen seems to take on a life of its own, resulting in misshapen letters. Despite her difficulties with writing, Charley is skilled at other tasks. After finishing her copy, Charley curtsies and mentions a woman named Jenny, a brickmaker's wife, who has returned to the neighborhood along with another woman named Liz. This interaction highlights themes of social class and the connections between characters in the story.
