Mildly disappointing to see that all the industry-specific, specialized jargon I've learned to be able to read Moby-Dick is irrelevant in helping me understand the industry-specific, specialized jargon in Bleak House. #dedlocked

If you have never read Bleak House before, I recommend you do not read Dickens's preface (pgs. 5 to 7) until at least Chapter 36. This was advice imparted to me once upon a time, and I agree with it. 🔒

So: I was choosing between dress lodgers and mourning dress but I’m going with opium. Tangentially related. Intermittent threading.
Opium was known as a painkiller for thousands of years. It was used by many cultures for pain relief. It’s probably appropriate to say that
