Dickens' "Barnaby ________” (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rudge

'dickens' barnaby' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for rudge that I've seen before include "Dickensian character" , "Dickens character" , "'Barnaby - - ' by Charles Dickens" , "Dickensian halfwit" , "Dickens novel 'Barnaby .....'" .)

I've seen this clue in the Penny Press.
