No Thoroughfare

The story combines Collin's touch of mystery with Dickens's satire which makes it quite interesting. The Overture sets a mysterious tone to the story which was to follow. There afterwards, the story takes off with a mistaken identity, vivid set of characters including a villain and an unusual heroine for Victorian time; and the writing seems to have more influenced by Dickens as the reader can observe his authentic satire until the final act, wherein Collin's influence could be seen in unraveling and setting right the mistaken identity and seeing to the just punishment of the villain.
