they were planning on performing A Christmas Carol and did he have a copy she could borrow because she was writing the script, he leapt in the air and waved his walking stick around in delight. ‘Oh I am as light as a feather, I am as happy as an angel’ he yelled. ‘That’s a quote you know! Straight from Dickens!’ Albert loved Dickens. Oliver Twist had been his very favourite story when he had been a boy and he had all the books Charles Dickens had ever written. ‘I have a copy somewhere ... somewhere...’ he said at top volume, excitedly.

The next discovery was David Copperfield, then Nicholas Nickleby then Bleak House, then Hard Times ... and just as Beaky thought they would have to give up - A Christmas Carol! ‘Oh I’m as merry as a schoolboy! Whoop!’ yelled Albert, triumphantly. ‘That’s another quote you know! Straight from Dickens!’ 55
