Going into Society and To Be Read at Dusk

Going into Society is Dickens's story of a man who sets up a circus in a respectable neighborhood. The main attraction is a dwarf: ""He was a un-common small man, he really was. Certainly not so small as he was made out to be, but where IS your Dwarf as is?"" In To Be Read at Dusk, a group of men begin discussing ghosts, and one of them tells the story of the English bride. These two stories showcase Dickens's interest in the weird.
