A cross-posting from the VICTORIA list:

Help, once more! Friends, thinking I am a Victorian "expert," keep asking
me reasonable questions that I am ashamed not to be able to answer. The
Victorian List keeps making me look good, and I would appreciate suggestions
on the following:
A friend -- non-Victorian -- vaguely remembers a scene in Dickens in which
a character meditates on the "unknowability of the other." I can't recall
such a scene. My instinct takes me either to LITTLE DORRIT or BARNABY
RUDGE, but if the scene exists, it could be anywhere. Does anyone remember
such a scene in Dickens. If so, please save my reputation and send me your
answer so I can save face.
