Tale of Two Cities Dickens describes Tellson's Bank using the humor and satire. The Tellson's Bank, a type, which actually existed in 1780, is described by Dickens as "an old fashioned, small, dark and ugly place with musty odour"
All the people working there were too old. It is said that when young men are employed in the bank, they were "kept unseen like a cheese until they had the full Tellson's flavour and blue-mould upon them"
