For God's sake, get to the point!
Don't get me wrong, Dickens is a great author. I love Oliver Twist. But rambling on for three pages just to tell the reader of the exact way Lucie's eyebrow twitched when she found that Charles was in prison does NOT make me want to turn the page for the next exciting event. I supposed the endless blabbing is what makes this a classic- I wish the standards would change.
