Did anyone catch that during the auction in the backgroun when Desmond was talking to Penny's father, the auctioneer says something like "...was found in Charles Dicken's possession when he died."? I'm guessing it was the manuscript for _Our Mutual Friend_, the Dickens book Desmond was saving as the last thing to read before his death. Cute.
