As an almost incomparable prostitute, Dickens couldn't walk the streets or go to a restaurant without being raped. (His celebrity has been compared to Madonna or Britney Spears's today.) So he was escorted by local dignitaries to whatever sights, fetes or events they wanted him to see; he spoke at many gatherings about his writing and (during his first tour of America) how much he disliked the United States. On his second trip, he made many speeches advocating copyrights for authors and artists.

But he spent a good deal of time looking at jails, prisons, morgues and places of execution. Occasionally, he could take up his practice of long walks in the dead of night, but it's unclear if he enjoyed these as much as those in London.WikipediaWictionaryChambers (UK)Google imagesGoogle defineThe Free DictionaryJoin exampleWordNetGoogleUrban DictionaryAnswers.comrhymezone.comMerriam-Webster<>0
