In the movie of nicholas nickleby, there is a scene where madeline and nicholas express their feelings for each other.It goes something like this;
"Madeline Bray: Nicholas, I feel you know what it's like to be without happiness... but do you know what it's like to be afraid of it? To see the world as so conniving, you cannot take pleasure in the appearance of something good... because you suspect... it is only a painted drop behind which other troubles lie. That has been my life. Every good thing has been a trick. Until you."
i havn't read the book (obviously), i just saw the movie and liked this part a lot. is this part of the script that the writer,Douglas McGrath put in himself or is this taken from the story itself from Charles Dickens?
