...Writer Waterhouse has done his real work beyond easy symbolism and easier outrage, in the Dickensian world of created character. He is what a writer should be, no pamphleteer but a patient and compassionate exhibitor of the tender and grisly oddments that find themselves locked up, helter-skelter, in the strange rag-and-bone shop of the human heart...
