Sinopsis
Excerpt from Reprinted Pieces and the Lazy Tour of Two Idle Apprentices
Our watering-place was the little village of Broadstairs in Kent, and, although the place has greatly increased in size, owing to the building of many houses near the railway, — there was no railway nearer than Ramsgate when this paper was written, time has brought about but few changes in its sea-front and its queer little streets. There is at Broadstairs an excellent illustration of the manner in which delusive legends grow up on the smallest foundations. On the cliff overlooking the little pier, and close to the coast-guard station, stands Fort House, a tall and very conspicuous place which Charles Dickens rented during more than one summer. This is now known as Bleak House because, according to a tradition on which the natives positively insist, Bleak House was written there. Unfortunately for the legend, it is the fact that although Bleak House was written in many places, — Dover, Brighton, Boulogne, London, and where not, not a line of it was written at Broadstairs.
