Her voice comes from the grave, for she died on May 9, 1920, at the great age of eighty-nlur, but it rings strong, clear and true it is reported by her familiar frient mony years standing. Gladys Storey, in her book, Dickens and Daughter, published by Frederick Muller L13. for 10s, 61.
It will certainly cause a tremendous sensation and scandal. It tells, in Mrs. Perugiai's own words, the carefully and long-concerted truth of Charles Dickens' separation from his wife, and of his well-estabƐphed association with Miss Ellen Lawless Ternan, who was his amstress for many years and bore him q son who died in infancy.

INDIVIDUAL enthusiasts, as well as the Dickens Pellowship. have strenuously maintained this gone plete fabrication. Most of them rer faimly believed what they said. Otur I am afraid, certainly knew the truth. I have a cvetahui personal interesi in this matter. Some years back I spent! any months helping my friend. Mr. C. E.

Let us see what Mrs. Perugini and Miss Storey have to say.
When he was forty-six, in August, 1857, Dickens met Ellen Lawless' Ternal, through soine amateur theatricals which he got up und per- formed in most brilliantly. in order vaise money for the near des- widow and children of his friend, Douglas Jerrold.

MRS. PERVOINI de scribed Miss Ternan as "the small fair-baired. rather pretty nctress" of no special altraction save her youth.
"He bad the world at his feet," lis daughter added, "she was a young girl of eighteen, elated and proud to be notleed by him." As for Dickens," comments Mins Storey, “i fush of youth was rekindled widifer him."

"His observation regarding his wife at this time, that it was a pity be "ever tell in her way was sulisequently to become the retributory thought of this girl regarding herself and Dickens when fafter his death) she married a elergyman and becaine the mother of his children.
"More tragic and far-reaching in its effects was the ascochition of Charles Dickens and Ellen Ternan anel their resultant son (who died in In- fney) than that of Nelson and Lady Hamilton and their daughter

Every shred of evidence rearing former domestic disagreements, times Mus Storey, "was ruked up and used as a weapon of defence and justi tication to the outside world to the coming separation, by mutual con- Bent, which Blckens brought binirelf to believe was right."

That the situation was a difficult one, since Dickens had sternly im. pressed upon them that their father's name was thete best possession-which they knew to be true-and he expected then to aut nccordingly."

glorious golden career would have been bust, past repair.
ONE afternoon, at the start of this affair, re- ports Miss Storey, Mrs. Perngol found her mother sobbing ut her dressing table,
Your father has asked me to go and tee Elten Tomman."
"You shall not go!" eselayned. Mrk
Peraghi, angrily stamping her fort But she went.
"In the early stages of their mor ried Hle, continues the Perapiol Storey evidence. " Dickens made a com- pact with tits wife that if either of them fell in love with anybody else. they were to tell one another.
“Such an idea at tint period of then lives appeared ludicrous. but Dickens remembered the compact, and had told his wife to call upon the girl with whom he had fallen in love."
Ի
SOON the anal break caine. Mrs. Dickens went to live itt 70. Gloucester-crescent. Regent's l'ark, receiving a settlement of £2609 a year. Another settlement was made on Elten Terman who was set up is an estab lishment of her own at Peckham, which was then a chruning suburb.
There is not very much more to say, Mrs. Dickens never saw ber husban ogain. Miss fernan satiaffed and com. forted his restless spirit devotedly until he died, so furas his constant jour. neyingh and "readings" would allow tim, to enjoy her company and solace
Under his will alir received £2.000 from hla cafate of just over £90,000; though. of course, the capital min ke had earlier settled on her remained her own. Later she married a most respected Anglenn clergyman whose stante la not given in thin book, but which is already well known to Dickens scholars.
Two questions remain. flow much was Mr. Dickens to blame? Can we belleve Mra. Peruginil's evidence?
To the first I think we can only sny this: Charles und Catherine Dickens were certainly not well-mated. though we may sympathise more na Mr. Ber- nard Straw has said, with "the woma who was sacrificed the eclus
xoriousness to the appalling extent of hayton had to bear eleven children In sixteen years, than with a grievance which, after all, amounted only to the fact that she was not a feminte Churles Dickens"
She seems to have had no sense of humour, and she was not lidy, or n good household
har manager-yo husband was the most meticulous and exigent of hosts and honcholders.
In such cireumstances his frustra- 1on of hono grew too bitter la ve -borne, und, when he zaw a chance of escape and happiness, by took it, lik? many other men have done, not very greatly worrying how many people he hurt in the process.
"THE only fault I found with my father was that he had too many child- ren.* Kald Mira Ierugini She menut the children, of his imagino- tion which came first with Bim, as they inexorably must with all great artista. as well as the children of his flesh. The clash of these two families was too much for his marringe to support. As to Mrs. Perugini as a witness: I feel we mual accept her unreservedly. much as many of us will dislike It. Her redunt of the whole nad business hangs together, and makes It all sensible and understandable for the first time.
The Trulli must be told," the old lady kent repeating towards the end of her life. We all owe her our thanks for her eandour and her courage.
Now that she has spoken through, Miss Storey's book, we can put the great Dickens cult where belonga in the dust bin, and forget it as it deserves, and go back to read the superb humour, fun and liveliness of The first of English novelists and the greatest descriptive newspaper reporter
who ever used a slick of copy.
But what a relief that the world now knows what I bave known for a long time, that as an idol Charles As a sinful Dickens had clay feet human being. Ike the rest of us, he is much more interesting.
