My Uncle and Betsy Snap. " As my uncle adjured her to look at me; he put his lean grip on the crown of her head; she kneeling beside him; and turned her face towards me. An involuntary thought connecting them both with the Dissecting Room; as it must often have been in the surgeon's time; passed across my mind." Illustration by Harry Furniss for the Charles Dickens Christmas story The Poor Relation's Story; from The Testimonial Edition; published 1910.
