"Mrs. Lirriper's Lodging" unwaveringly presents Charles Dickens' idealistic approach. It tells the story of an affectionate, humanistic lady Mrs. Emma Lirriper. She has come out of the pit of suffering and distress with new optimistic vision. The story beautifully intertwines the themes of humanism, faith in the final outcome of human endeavor and a need to trust in fellowmen.

It is only a short story, but full of good narrative and humor.
