Can’t believe this corner of the forums isn’t being regularly updated! Right now, our most mysterious characters are Molinaro and Rokesmith – we don’t know their identities or motives. Rokesmith is the alias of the main character (John Harmon) from Dickens’ novel ‘Our Mutual Friend’, which is also the title of chapter 2A. I wonder if this is merely a convenient choice of alias for a Dickens-related CC or if “Rokesmith”‘s motives link to Harmon’s in any way.
Clara is also not in many historical records and remains fairly identity-less. This could be due to the fact that she was merely a secretary, but even her correspondence with actress Ellen Ternan isn’t noted on, despite them seeming to be close friends. If anyone can find any clues on Clara or Molinaro, it’d be great if you could share them here!
