                Hi @wiseowl

                When I was at school I had to write a paper on Charles Dickens :doh: That was my punishment for writing an essay, for an exam, on why I thought it was wrong to tell us what an author was intending us to think instead of allowing us to say what we thought it meant!

                The word tope goes back two hundred years before Dickens and, as a verb, means to imbibe an excess of alcohol. As a noun a toper is a drunkard. I wrote in my essay that I thought Dickens was deliberately implying that the Verger was a secret alcoholic. It didn't go down very well with the English teacher :loll:
