Dickens acknowledged this close brush with death, that nearly cut short the composition of Our Mutual Friend, in the novel's postscript: > On Friday the Ninth of June in the present year, Mr and Mrs Boffin (in their > manuscript dress of receiving Mr and Mrs Lammle at breakfast) were on the > South-Eastern Railway with me, in a terribly destructive accident. When I > had done what I could to help others, I climbed back into my carriage—nearly > turned over a viaduct, and caught aslant upon the turn—to extricate the > worthy couple. They were much soiled, but otherwise unhurt. [...] I remember > with devout thankfulness that I can never be much nearer parting company > with my readers for ever than I was then, until there shall be written > against my life, the two words with which I have this day closed this > book:—THE END.
