Stay with it. It pays off big at the end. Dickens sets up the characters and scene for five hundred pages or so, and then writes a two-hundred page fast-paced thriller, in which you are far more involved with the characters than in any conventional thriller. The scene - Chancery and its environs - is itself a character, a spirit of discord pervading all the other character's lives and the whole city of London.
