		Dombey had entered on that social contract of matrimony: almost necessarily part of a genteel and wealthy station, even without reference to the perpetuation of family firms: with her eyes fully open to these advantages.
		Dombey's cup of satisfaction was so full at this moment, however, that he felt he could afford a drop or two of its contents, even to sprinkle on the dust in the by-path of his little daughter.
		Dombey, who, besides being generally influenced by his sister for the reason already mentioned, had really faith in her as an experienced and bustling matron, acquiesced: and followed her, at once, to the sick chamber.

		The earth was made for Dombey and Son to trade in, and the sun and moon were made to give them light.' The hopes of Mr Dombey for the future of his shipping firm are centred on his delicate son Paul, and Florence, his devoted daughter,is unloved and neglected.
		Mr Dombey is a potentially interesting character, but Dickens - or rather the narrator - is so busy berating him for his self-importance and belittling even his more laudable feelings, like the love for his son, that he never gets a fair hearing.
		After all, Dombey has a case: his daughter does, albeit unwittingly, cause him a great deal of misery, so perhaps it isn't that strange that he finds it difficult to warm to her.

		Dombey, obsessed with his firm and its future, dotes on his son, who will become his partner, and neglects his daughter, Florence.
		Young Paul Dombey, however, is sickly, and dies pathetically in his youth; after this, Dombey is crueler than ever to Florence, and his remarriage to a woman who cannot love him only intensifies his loveless personality.
		When his wife leaves him and his business fails, Dombey at last recognizes and accepts the love of his faithful daughter--and Dombey and Son becomes, in effect, Dombey and Daughter.

		Dombey's outrageous tin magnolia of a mother, and it's a book you'd be happy to stumble across in the cabin some snowbound weekend.
		Through the course of the novel, you realize that Dombey and Daughter are really the focus of this story....the fortunes and misfortunes that befall them both, the grievous neglect of one for the other, despite the efforts of the one neglected to reconcile...and a host of others that enter and exit from their lives.
		Dombey is also where Dickens starts using an overriding symbol for his longer works - here the railroads as a symbol of progress and brute force.

	Review - Dombey & Son (Site not responding. Last check: )
		ATTEMPTING to adapt the 850 pages of Charles Dickens' rich and descriptive narrative in Dombey and Son for the stage sounds like a daunting prospect.
		It is a melancholy play with melodramatic overtones and the care taken to accurately reflect the original story makes the pace of the play very slow.
		The main story revolves around Mr Dombey's daughter Florence who, following the birth of her brother, is disregarded by her father.

		Paul Dombey's nurse, Polly Toodles, is taking little Paul to visit her home in Stagg's Garden, a neighborhood in Camden Town where the railroad is being built.
		The first shock of a great earthquake had, just at that period, rent the whole neighbourhood to its centre.
		Others, who had a natural taste for the country, held that it dated from those rural times when the antlered herd, under the familiar denomination of Staggses, had resorted to its shady precincts.
