The writer claims that throughout his life he never told anyone that he was a shy person. According to the creative writer, none of his acquaintances would ever have guessed it. In addition, the author claims that he did not even try to hint to the people around him about his excessive modesty.

Because of this character trait, according to Dickens himself, he had to avoid communication with many representatives of the human race, as well as not to attend all kinds of events.

One day he decided to go to the territory of the United States. The writer loved the girl Angela Leath and planned to enter into a marriage relationship with her. However, later on, the creative figure realized that the aforementioned lady was indifferent to his mate, Edwin. The author wrote touching letters to each of them, after which he decided to sail off to America to live there in voluntary exile for a period of time.
