James Clavell (Shogun, King Rat, Whirlwind); (god, there's too many of them) Jane Austen? a Bronte sister? Or do you mean a modern author writing 19th century style?
And the last, Dickens?

I think you're right!
And that "Through a piece of furniture" could be the author of the extremely boring book Alice in Wonderland, Lewis Carroll? (Hey! They spelt my middle name right! Right on! )
