Catherine nodded. Her eyes began to fill with tears.
"Yes.. I did. But you have.. no idea what it's like to live with you. To always walking on eggshells, trying to guess your mood, to knew which of your commands are whimp and which aren't and sometimes I.. I feel your characters matter more to you than your own flesh and blood" she sobs.
There was a pause between Charles Dickens and his wife, Catherine before he said..

"I am who I am.."
"and who is that? It as if there's two of you. One who is kind and gentle and the secret self that none is allowed to know or question"
