If you are looking for a good read, take a chance on Thackeray's Vanity
Fair. There's a character in that book, Rawdon Crawley, who reminds me
of Herring and "Reggie."
Pretty sad if reading a good piece of literature makes you think of NG
characters.

There's nothing unusual about recalling the "attributes" of characters in
literature and applying them to actual people you might encounter. There
are several posters here who exhibit some of the worst attributes of
Dickens' villains.

As an example, "Reggie" reminds me most of Dickens' Uriah Heep from David
Copperfield.

A brief descriptor from Wiki:

"The character is notable for his cloying humility, obsequiousness, and
general insincerity."

Reggie.


Funny you should be on this track...
Wife & I just stopped in for a quick bite after returning from a downtown
camera store.
I picked up a weekly free publication called 'The Morning Coffee' which has
short articles and jokes, quizzes etc to read.
This entry from the "Lighter Side" section instantly reminded me of a poster
here.
See if you can guess... :

"Some minds are like concrete... all mixed up and permanently set"




Easy. That's WAFA. No doubt about it.
