Over the Way

Dickens probably wrote the following portions of 'Over the Way': from 'very clever' to 'ever lived' (p. 573); from 'It was the fifth' (p. 574) to 'Charley of long ago' (p. 575); from '(for truly the Eye' to 'ashamed of it)' (p. 576); from 'It was a very wet Sunday' to 'it was to see eyes' (p. 577).

Dickens seems also to have added touches to other portions of 'Over the Way,' especially from the beginning to 'Charley of long ago' (p. 575).

The interpolated story told in 'The Manchester Marriage' is by Mrs. Gaskell. The Conclusion to 'The Manchester Marriage' [beginning ''A most interesting story, all through,' I said',] however, is part of the framework of A House to Let - part, that is, of the linking and bridging sections that Dickens usually wrote himself. In this instance, however, the rule does not seem to hold: the Conclusion was probably written by Collins and revised by Dickens. See notes to The Seven Poor Travellers and A House to Let [1858 Christmas].

The interpolated story (in the form of a narrative poem) told in 'Three Evenings in the House' is by Adelaide Anne Procter. The Conclusion to 'Three Evenings in the House' [beginning 'I could warmly and sincerely praise the little poem',] however, is part of the framework of A House to Let - part, that is, of the linking and bridging sections that Dickens usually wrote himself. See notes to The Seven Poor Travellers and A House to Let [1858 Christmas].

Dickens probably wrote the following portions of 'Let at Last': from 'The only words' to 'about George Forley' (p. 606); from 'We could do no less' (p. 607) to the conclusion.
Dickens seems also to have added touches to passages primarily by Collins. See note to A House to Let [1858 CrElement Selection.
