I love doing that – sexual greed and economic greed in the same scene.
Dickens’ most successful females always teetered on the edge of monstrosity. It’s with his grotesques, with the women that he didn’t want to take to bed, that he erupts into life. He reserved a ferocious scorn, not only for social pretence, but also for the woman beyond sexuality who still yearned for it, like Mrs Skewton, from Dombey and Son, who was definitely ‘mutton dressed as lamb’.
Mrs Skewton: Dombey and Son, 1846–48
