It is not that He puts easy things in the place of the hard, but He actually changes the hard thing into an easy one.

Ian MckellenI doubt if Dickens did, especially his women-his pretty women-Mrs. Dombey, Florence, Dora, Agnes, Ruth Pinch, Kate Nickleby, little Emily-we know them all through Hablot Browne alone-and none of them present any very marked physical characteristics.
