Dickens' Nicholas begins the chapter deploring the indifference of the rich, powerful, and safe to the lifelong sufferings of the rest, especially those of children abandoned in ignorance to horrible toil and in many cases to no future but crime.
Not the least doubt he speaks for Dickens, who nevertheless never was a socialist.
Reading Nickleby.
