Post Chapter 11 - Who is Little Swills?

I've been enjoying reading Bleak House but Chapter 11 is frustrating because I can't work out the purpose of introducing Little Swill who I now understand is a comic musician.

Is this something that Dickens would have observed and expanded into his novel as light relief following the departing of 'the dear brother'. Perhaps it is pure fiction. What's going on! Help please,

Michael
