The Romantic end Beautiful

LOVE LETTERS OF DICKENS

Two Amazing Interludes in a Great Artist's Life

I'OUR years later, with no nope Jl of anything but a word in return. she wrote him of her father - death. He answered with sincerity and kindness, and for the last t;rr.e referred to the past years :haf had meant so much to them borh It must nave been somr■hine of a shock to Mrs. Winter to learn that the erstwhile "beautiful visions of his youth" now rrarred upon him :n the shape of "ghosts ” Paris. Rue du Faubourg Monday, Seventeenth November. 1862 My Dear Maria: I had read in Galignani that your poor father was dead, before I received your touching account of his last moments. Os course I could not be surprised, knowing his great ape, by the wearing out of his vitality; but—almost equally of course—it was a -hock too. for all the old past comes out of its grave when I think of him. and the ghosts of a good many years stand about his memory. He died among his children, and could have died with no better words and no better hopes*. God be thanked for it. and may such mercy and comfort be in store for us! Always vours affectionately. CHARLES DICKENS. Pray give mv kind regard to Margaret and your brother. a a tt AND thus the romance ended. Maria Winter, having no real malice or vindictiveness in her nature perhaps never realized that she held in her possession the most flagelatory weapon that any woman ever held over Dickens' head. Not that there was anything discreditable in his intentions, or indeed in the letters themselves: but the fact that the world-famed "Dora.” in human form, had rmerccd from obscurity and had finally found her "Doady,” and that Doady. being very unhappy with his wife, “responded with his whole heart" to Dora's call —wrote her fond love letters and had clandestine meetings with her, would have caused great excitement in that quiet Victorian age. While the term "Doady” may have sounded very cunning and caressing when it issued from the lips of David's child-wife Dora, it is likely that much of its tender endearment would have been perverted by the tongues and pens ol waggish and unromantic critics in 'heir efforts to adapt it to Dora’s forty-four-year-old sweetheart. Dickens hated his father-in-law, George Hogarth, and his querulous nature —aggravated by family discord—had estranged him from many of his dearest friends. A distorted construction, could, and would, have been placed on nearly everything he had said in the second and third letters to Mrs. Winter, and all the explanations he could have conjured up would not have set him right with the public at large, and certainly not with his antagon'sts. tt tt tt IF Dickens was aware—as he must have been —of this overshadowing menace, his fears wove carefully masked in all his letters. We know he set a very high value on his reputation, and whiie his inherent kindheartednoss would no doubt have prompted him to be charitable toward the one great love of his life, it is reasonable to suppose that in taking the tolerant attitude he did toward her persistent and annoying importunities he was not unmindful of the fact that she held his destiny in her hands. When he finally separated from his wife there was so much hostile gossip that he decided to make a public statement in his own de:cnse. which—contrary to the advice of his friends —he printed in Household Words. June 12. 1353. Tt heads much like some of the boyish effusions he sent to Maria Beadnell. and shows how sensitive he was to the breath of scandal. He might better have heeded Byron's answer to a friend who asked why he didn't defend himself: "Do you think accusers like one the better for being confuted?" Here is what Dickens published: “Three and twenty years have passed since I entered on my present relations with the public. They began when I was so young that I find them to have existed for nearly a quarter of a century. My conspicuous position has often made me the subject of fabulous stories and unaccountable statements, occasionally such things have chafed me. or even wounded me; but I have always accepted them as the shadows inseparable from the light of my notoriety and success. I have never obtruded any such uneasiness of mine upon the generous aggregate of my audience. For the first time in my life, and I believe for the last. I now deviate from the principle I have so long observed by presenting myself in my own journal in my own private character, and entreating all my brethren tas they deem that they have reason to think well of me; and to know that I am a man who has ever been unaffectedly true to our common calling), to lend their aid to the dissemination of my present words. Some domestic trouble of mine, of long standing, on which I will make no further remark than that it claims to be respected, as being of a sacredly private nature, has lately been brought to an arrangement which involves no anger or ill will of any kind, and the whole origin, progress and surrounding circumstances of which have been throughout, within the knowledge of my children It is amicably composed, and the details have now but to be forgotten by those concerned in it. B\ some means, arising out of wickedeness or out of folly, or out of inconceivable wild chance, or out of all three, this trouble has been made the occasion of misrepresentations, most grossly false, most, monstrous and most cruel—involving not only me. but innocent persons dear to my heart and innocent persons of whom I have no knowledge if indeed they have any existence —and so widely spread that I doubt if one reader in a thousand will peruse these lines by whom some touch of the breath of these slanders will not have passed like an unwholesome air.

F,7 H. H. HARPER

Those who know' me and my nature need no assurance under my hand that such calumnies are irreconcilable with me, as they are in their frantic incoherence with one another. But there is a great multitude who know me through mv writings, and who do not known me otherwise; and I can not bear that one of them should be left in do”bt, or hazard of doubt, through my poorly shrinking from taking the usual means to which I now resort, the circulating of the Truth. I most solemnly declare, then—and this.l do both in my own and in my wife’s name—that all the lately whispered rumors touching thp trouble at which I have glanced, are abominably false. And whosoever repeats one of them after this denial will lie as willfully and as foully as it is possible for any false witness to lie, before heaven and earth." a a a MARIA bv keeping a cuscreet .silence as she did repaid Dickens many times over for whatever misery she had caused him in his early years. Her husband, failing to find another footing in business entered the ministry, became a curate at Lille Eversham and finally .Vicar of Alnmouth. Northumberland, where she lived a country clergyman's wife, treasuring these letters and these memories. As Maria Winter she was soon forgotten. but she will be remembered for all time as David Copperfield’s Dora. Would she have made Dickens happy if she had married him in 1833? Probably not. She had not sufficient depth to discover or encourage his genius * Had he married her, his state of contentment, for the time being at lea c t. would have robbed

THE INDIANAPOIITS TIMES

him of the ambition to rise above his surroundings. There was nothing either in his antecedents or in his environment to mark him as a genius, and his own statements make it perfectly clear that because of being deeplv wounded by her “heartless indifference” he delved into literature and “suffered and worked and beat and hammered away at the maddest romances that ever got into any boy’s head and stayed there.” He named Maria as “the cause of it all.” His firm determination to fight his way “out of poverty and obscurity,” far from being inspired by her love and tenderness, was rhe result of the cold hearted contempt with which she dismissed him. a a a MANY of the greatest successes and failures in life have hinged on just such affairs as this, and it is perhaps not assuming too much to say that ihe world is indebted to the unfeeling coquetry, of Maria Beadnell for one of the outstanding literary geniuses of modern times. Although she gave him on\v misery and regret in his late boyhood. perhaps she may have reasoned —and with better logic—* after the manner of the shrewish* old woman who, being accused of inhuman cruelty to a juvenile son in years gone by. exclaimed —"Oh but look at the man it made of of him!' At any rate she had her serious moments in his life, and he immortalized her memory, not only in his greatest novel but in those remarkable letters in which he revealed "these things that I have locked up in my own breast, and that I never thought to bring out any more.” THE END 'Onvrisht. 1934. .Tnhn F Dille Co.>
