2. Bleak House: 'little', 'young' and 'guardian' stand out.
3. A Christmas Carol: no doubting the most significant character here...

5. Hard Times: More of 'Mrs' here (Sparsit, Gradgrind), and notice 'know'...
6. Oliver Twist: 'gentlemen' and 'time' deserve some discussion.
7. A Tale of Two Cities: a French influence, of course.
