Family and Friends (3407 words)
Dickens and Catherine had little correspondence after the break, Catherine moving to a house in London with oldest son, Charley, and Dickens retreating to Gad's Hill in Kent with Catherine's sister, Georgina, and all of the children except Charlie remaining with him.
Dickens' daughter Kate later wrote that Andersen was "a bony bore and stayed on and on".
Dickens and Lemon's friendship was another victim of Dickens' separation from Catherine, the two did not speak from 1858 to 1864 when they were reconciled at the graveside of mutual friend Clarkson Stanfield.
