Answer 2

Charles Dickens' father John worked as a clerk in the Naval Pay office at Portsmouth. His mother tried, at one point, to establish a small finishing school for girls, but no one applied for admittance, so she gave up the attempt. Later in his life, John Dickens depended largely on his son Charles (and possibly his other children) for his income and occasional meaningless positions. Charles' father was very proud of his son and of being his father and rather boasted about it to friends.
