WHO/WHAT AM I

[Richie]

Perhaps it was John D. Rockefeller?

or someone like him?

Was this fellow a Yank?

English.

Is it anything to do with money laundering?

No , not a criminal business.

 

[Richie]

Does it have to do with finance?

Yes. Getting warm.

 

[Richie]

None of you have asked the obvious question which I have mentioned several times.

Very similar here. We have so many flood warnings and cold weather warnings. I heard about a herd of cows drowning which I found upsetting.

I saw some massive floods in England on the news. People inundated in their homes. To make matters worse those waters must be freezing too.

 

[Richie]

Large parts of the country are being flooded right now. From the frying pan into the fire.

Thomas Germany seems to be in same situation as Jessica in England. Stay warm.

Yes, as far as floods are concerned. England will never be that cold, though.

What is it? I'm at a loss, I admit.

The author of the novel dummy Remember we are likely talking about the most popular, distinguished and prolific fictional writer of the day.

OK guys and gal, the novel was set around mid 19th Century.

That must be Dickens then? If so, it might be David Copperfield who, indeed, might have impressed you because of some bio parallels. True? Alternatively, Nicholas Nickleby?

Where did you say that?

You have the AUTHOR, not the CHARACTER.

Does it have to do with finance?

Yes. Getting warm. Remember this post.

The temps here have really dropped so the flooded areas will freeze over
I went out earlier and I was walking like I was on eggshells, very slippery under foot.

Be careful Jess. Is frosting but still no snow. Thomas showed the Beast From the East was about to impact Germany, you guys may cop it too. So stay warm.

I honestly dont understand why this has taken so long. All the clues are there.

Thomas gave us the author, Charles Dickens. My guy is almost certainly his most famous character.

Is it Ebenezer Scrooge of Dickens' A Christmas Carol? The season could have reminded you of him.

Not sure they are. Can you pinpoint any reference to him or to the setting in the 19 cent.? Where did you mention or hint at him?
It starts at post #163.

BINGO!
