Charles Dickens - For a week or a fortnight I can write prodigiously...

For a week or a fortnight I can write prodigiously in a retired place (as at Broadstairs), and a day in London sets me up again and starts me. But the toil and labour of writing, day after day, without that magic lantern, is IMMENSE!.. My figures seem disposed to stagnate without crowds about them.
