Subtitles by Seglora

It seems said it's nobody's fault
but everybody knows they suffer from it

or they know someone who
suffers from it in some way or other

but nobody knows who is to blame for it

It's nobody's fault,Sir

But Buzzolen's porter

I beg you pardon,Sir,wish to see the room?

Yes,please

Get the chambermaid

You must find everything much changed
after being away so long,Mr Clennam

Twenty years

Had enough deaths

I mean the bells haven't changed

Oh,how I hated Sundays

So you have lived in China for twenty
years,do tell me if it is true

that in the Kyonang Region,
tea is collected,as I read

by irritating the monkeys living in the
cliffs about the tea trees so that..

I am afraid I don't know about that,
I lived mostly in Canton

Working in my father's business,
engaged in bookkeeping and so forth

So I have seen very little

Is Canton,I beg you pardon,
I'm very fond of reading,you see

particularly travel books

I know very little,I was sent out
there when I was very young

I hated my work and I have had
little freedom to go about

Until my father's death a year ago

And where will you go next?

I don't know

Such a way from strayer I am
able to drift anywhere

I suppose I'm going home

Home

I'm the only child of parents who weighed,
measured and priced everything

Their very religion was a gloomy sacrifice

Often as a part of a bargain
for their security of their positions

Austere faces

Inexorable discipline

Nothing graceful

Gentle anywhere

No

Yes,I suppose I'm going home

Chambermaid waiting to show room,Sir

I'm sorry,I wasn't thinking,I'm going home

Indeed,Sir

Chambermaid! Gentleman booked number seven,
not sleep here,go home.

Arthur,you are come home,step in

Your figure is filled out

but you don't come up to your father,
not in my opinion. Nor your mother

How is my mother?

She is as always is now,keeps her room

Hardly been out of it for
last fifteen years

I doubt whether your mother would
approve of you coming home

on the Sabbath,Arthur

You wouldn't have me go
away again,Flintwinch

I? I'm not master here,
it is not what I would have

Would you tell her that I've come home?

To be sure! I'll tell her that you have
come home

Please to wait

I'll tell her that you have
come home

Cold

Come Arthur,I'll light you

Mother

This is a change from your
old active habits

The world has narrowed to
these dimensions, Arthur

It is well for me that I never set
heart upon its hollow vanities

You never leave this room,mother?

I have gradually lost the use of my limbs

I have not been outside this door
for--tell him for how long

A dozen year next Christmas

-Is that Affery?
-Yes,Arthur

It's Affery

It is a bad
night, is it not?

Yes,mother

Does it snow?

Snow,mother?

It's September

All seasons are alike to me

I know nothing of summer
or winter,shut up here

The Lord has been pleased to
put me beyond all that

Mother

The subject on which my
father showed much anxiety

In his last illness,
in fact at his very last

He expressed this wish

He tried to open it

but he could only lay his hand upon it
and say,very indistinctly to me

Your mother

After father's death I opened it myself
thinking it might be some memorandum there

There is nothing only this

watch-paper worked in silks
with his initials upon it

The name that

Do not forget

No more business on this day

Affery, it is eight o'clock

Thus said the Lord

Behold I will raise up against Babylon

and against them that dwell amidst of
them that drives up against Me

A destroying wind

And Babylon shall become heaps,
a dwelling place for dragons

an astonishment

and an hissing,without an inhabitant

With thee also

will I break in pieces man and woman

and with thee will I break in
pieces the old and young

and with thee will I break in pieces
the young man and the maid

And I will render until Babylon

and to all those inhabitants of Chaldea

all their evil that they have
done, saith the LORD

Good Night,Arthur

Affery will see to your room

Thank you,Mother

Good Night,Mother

Do you want some supper?

No, Affery, no supper

You shall if you like,there's
her tomorrow's partridge

say the word and I'll cook it

I've dined already,I don't want anything

Now, Affery, woman, what are you doing?

-Make his bed,stir yourself
-Yes,Jeremiah

Have something to drink?

You shall have some
of her port, if you like

I shall tell Jeremiah that you
ordered me to bring it you

You know,I don't want anything,Affery

Affery,you weren't married
when I went away

No

How did it happen?

Jeremiah,of course,how could I help it,say?

What do you mean?

It was no doing of mine

Oh! he's a clever one!

-Well?
-Well

He says to me afterwards,
you and me we must be married

She's failing in health, and would
need constant attendance

And it'll be more convenient

so if you'll put your bonnet next Monday
at eight, we'll get it over with

Well?

Well,the same day,she spoke to me

and she said "Affery,I
understand you and Jeremiah

are going to be married,I'm glad,
and so are you

with reason,he is a good man"

What could I say when it had come to that?

Why? If it had been a
smothering instead of a wedding

I couldn't have said a word upon it,
not against them two clever ones

It was my mother's project too?

But Arthur,there's no reason because that
I am afraid of my love,that you should be

You've got half the property,haven't you?

Yes,what else? Don't you be cowed

She is awful clever

None but the clever one dare
say a word to her

But he gives it to her

when he has a mind to it,so what
can he be but a clever one to do that

They've been talking about
your old sweet heart

she is a widow now, a well to do,
you can have her now,if you wish

It's Jeremiah

Good Morning,Mother

Are you feeling better today?

I shall never be better any more,Arthur,
it is well I know it and can bear it

Shall I speak about affairs?

Why not?

Mother,our House has done less and less
business for some years now

and our dealings have been
progressively on decline

-You know that
-I know what you mean

All our consignments have long
been made over to Rovinghams

and your own judgement and
watchfulness in checking upon them

I can see what you are coming to

Mother,I was afraid you
would speak like this

You knew I would,you knew me

Go on

Mother,the track we have kept

as a business,I mean it's
not the track of the time

He'd never shown much confidence
nor he invited much

It is not his fault,no one is
to blame but mother

I've decided

I've decided for my part
to abandon business

I've done with it

I cannot say that forty years

I have lived by your rules have
either been pleasant or profitable

To myself or to anyone

But I have never set my will against yours

I only ask you to remember that

Have you finished ,Arthur?

I think there cannot be nothing more

I know that in my sinfulness
I married bitterly disappointed

The accounts made out I have them
downstairs in your fathers counting-house

You may inspect them when you please

Jeremiah will open up everything for you

I knew you having given up the
business wouldn't go smoothly

I've given up everything
in life for the business

Nice time for me to give the business up

Don't expect me to stand between
you and your mother

Like I stood between your
mother and your father

I had no particular love for your father

But I stood between him and your
mother,fending on this fending of that

and getting crushed between them

And I am done with such work

Do not forget

Mother

There is something more
I have to say to you

It's been on my mind for long
time now,day and night

but it's very difficult to say

Mother,you knew my father,
infinitely better than I did

You were much the stronger
and you directed him

you were the cause of him going to China

And my joining him there,when I was twenty

Mother

What I want to ask you is

Did it ever occur to you

to suspect that he had some secret
remembrance that worried him

I don't understand you

Mother

Is it possible that my father wronged
someone and made no reparation

I saw him at the last,remember

And I can never forget it

Mother,is it possible?

Is it possible that in grasping after money

and driving hard bargains someone
may have been deceived

or injured?

or ruined?

Mother,only you would know

If reparations can be made,mother,tell me

Mother

Is it possible that through my
father's fault someone,somewhere

Hammer and tongs, already, you two?

Flintwinch! Look at my son

I am

Look at him

Within hours of his return,he asperses his
father's memory to his mother

Has misgivings that the goods of
the world that we got together

with wear and tear and self-denial,
are so much plunder

Talks of reparations

Reparation

Reparation

Is there none in this room?

In days of old, Arthur

Pious men, beloved by the Lord, who would
have cursed their sons for less than this

I can only tell you that if you
ever speak of this again to me

I will renounce you

and so dismiss you

that you would have better
been motherless from your cradle

Do not forget

Motherless from your cradle

Now in case you should get
into another of your flights

has Arthur told you what he
intends to do with the business?

Jeremiah,my son is deserting us

He is done with our business

Jeremiah,my old and faithful servant,
you shall be the new partner

We shall stand by you,Affery
and I,shall stand by you

Eleven

Time for your oysters

Aren't you're going to eat your oysters?

Who was that girl with the tray just now?

Little Dorrit

What are you going to do
about Little Dorrit?

Is she is to come and work here for ever?

To come backwards and forwards here forever

How can you speak of forever
to a named creature like me?

So long as Little Dorrit is
quiet and industrious

and deserves the little help I can give
her,she will come here,if she wants

Nothing more than that

What should there be more than that?

Do you happen to know where she lives?

No

Do you care to know?

I do not

Only I have,accidentally mind you,found out

Wherever she lives

she has made a secret of it,and
she will keep her secret from me

After all,perhaps,you'd rather not know

Jeremiah,do not go too far,say no more

I maybe bit of an oddity and
point of temper but it is in my temper

that I can't let anyone have
entirely their own way

I can't stand it

I want to know what she intends
to do with Little Dorrit

Where does Little Dorrit come from?

Where,Little Dorrit come from?

Ah,Mr Stubbs,have you got them?

Achieved what I set out
to do,Mr Flintwinch

Allow me to introduce myself,Stubbs&Stubbs
General Accountant Debts Recovered

You must be the young Mr Clennam

I am glad of having the gratification of
making your acquaintance,Sir

How man place of work
rolled in one,I observed,Sir

Very pleasant,most fashionable

in my profession,luxury denied
to most of us,I'm afraid

always on the move,here and there,poking
around,Sir,if I may so express myself

I should be most grateful to be
of assistance at any time,Sir

Don't forget that I'm Stubbs General
Accountant Debts Recovered

Have it done with, Little Dorrit come from?

She is a whim of hers

Arthur

Don't let yourself be put down by
the two clever ones,now you are paid

No quarter, nothing to live here,
Affery,I have taken rooms in Covent Garden

I already had my luggage sent up there

Tell me,how did Little Dorrit
come to work here?

Your old sweethearts father
recommended her,do needle work

Old Christopher Casby?

Arthur,that it is again

-What?
-The noise

Such a strange noise

Arthur

I didn't hear anything

So,old Christopher Casby recommended her

Flora's father

I beg you pardon

I fear you didn't hear me announced

Have I the pleasure

Truly,yes

I think I have

Mr Clennam

I'm glad to see you

Take a chair if you please

How have you been since last we met?

It's twenty years

I'm well,Sir

We are older,Mr Clennam

We are not younger,Mr Casby

Your respected father is no more,
I was grieved to hear it,Mr Clennam

Yes

There was a time

when your parents and myself were not
on friendly terms, family misunderstanding

Your respected mother was rather
possessive about her son

Maybe

These times are passed and
gone,passed and gone

I do myself the pleasure of making a visit

to your respected mother from
time to time,time to time

On one of those occasions

you were kind enough to mention
a young seamstress to my mother

Seamstress?

Little Dorrit

Dorrit?

Yes

My daughter Flora had the misfortune
to lose her husband several years ago

and resides with me

She will be pleased to see you

Come in here

-Hello
-Hello

What's the matter?

I don't know that anything is the matter

Where is Mr Casby?

-He'll be back directly
-Very well

If he should ask for Pancks, will you
be so good to say Pancks is come in

I'm sure I am ashamed to see you,Mr Clennam

I'm sure you find me fearfully changed,
I am actually an old woman

It’s shocking to be found out,
it's really shocking

Time hasn't stood still with any of us

It's so different with a gentleman
you look so amazingly well

Look at Papa

isn't it cruel and unnatural of Papa
to be such a reproach to his own child

If we go on like this much longer

people who don't know us will come
to suppose that I am Papa's Mama!

Jolly good

Mr Clennam you in-sincerest of creatures

I perceive already you have not lost
your old way of paying compliments,

when you used to pretend be so
sentimentally struck you know

At least I don't mean that, I--oh I
don't know what I mean!

Oh,no,no you mustn’t leave yet

You could never be so unkind
as to think of going, Arthur

I suppose Mr Clennam would be more proper

I was hoping Mr Clennam would do us
as your honour of staying to dinner

Staying to dinner

You could never be so
unkind to think of leaving

without a word about the old dear
dead days gone forever

When I come to think of it,I suppose
it might be best not to speak about it

Do tell me something
about the chinese ladies

whether their eyes are
really so long and narrow

always putting me in mind of
mother-of-pearl fish at cards

do they really wear tails down their back
and plaited too or is it only the men

and why do they stick little
bells all over their bridges

and temples and hats and things
or don't they really do it?

Mr Pancks have the goodness
to pass this all to Mr F's Aunt?

Then it's all terminated,really too

Oh,gracious Arthur

Pancks included?

Old habit

Mr Clennam farther or drop her

No doubt,married to some chinese lady

being in China so long
and desirous to settle

I only hope she's not a Pagodian dissenter

I'm not married to any lady

Oh gracious me I hope you never kept
yourself a bachelor on my account!

but of course you never did,
pray don't answer, why should you

I am meandering into nonsense again

Dear, dear,only to think of the changes
at home ,Arthur,cannot overcome it

It seems so natural,Mr Clennam
far more proper

Whoever could imagine
Mrs Flinching,I can't imagine it myself

Is that your married name?

Yes isn't it a dreadful , but Arthur,
as Mr F. said when he proposed to me

which he did seven times he
wasn't answerable for it

Excellent man, not at all like
you but excellent man

Bleeding Heart Yard,troublesome property

Rents are very hard to get there

You have more trouble with that one place
than with all the places belonging to you

Really?

They say they are so
poor,but they all say..

When we lived at Henley, Barnes's
gander was stole by tinkers

Indeed,Mum,you are not going to lock
them in for nothing are you?

They say they are so poor,they all say that

You'll be poor yourself if
you didn't get the rent

Arthur

Gifts to clemence,papa is watching

You are paid to squeeze ,or squeeze to pay

Not that ugly name

Say Flora

Flora,I assure you,Flora,I'm
very happy to see you again

I know you are disappointed

I suppose the Chinese ladies,
Mandarinesses if you call them so

are the cause or perhaps I am
the cause myself, it's just as likely

No,don't say that

But I must,what nonsense not to

I know I am not what you expected

One explanation I wish to offer

when your Mama came and made
a scene of it with my Papa

and when I called down
into the little breakfast-room

looking like mad bulls what would they do

My dear Flora it's so long ago

For five days I had a cold
in the head from crying

which I passed entirely in
the back drawing-room

there is the back drawing-room still upon
the first floor to confirm my words

Mind

Mind,Papa

When that dreary period had passed
a lull succeeded years rolled by

Mr F. became acquainted ,it was not
love,it was adoration on the part of Mr.F

Mr F. proposed with the full
approval of Papa and what could I do?

Yes, it's pretty fresh,haven't
got time to feel it though

You lead a busy life,do you?

I have always some of them to
look up, or something to look after

I like business,what is man made for?

That's what I ask our weekly tenants

Some of them will pull long
faces to me, and say

"Poor as you see us,we're always grinding,
toiling,drudging, every minute we're awake"

I say to them, "What else are you
made for?" That clinches it

What else do you suppose I
think I am made for? Nothing

Set me going keep me at it

Keep me always at it,
I'll keep you always at it

There you are,the Whole Duty of Man
in a commercial country

Have you no inclination
for anything,Mr Pancks?

Oh,I am,I've inclination to
get money,Sir,if you tell me how..

Yes,yes you are not a
great reader I suppose?

Never read anything but letters or accounts

or advertisement for relatives to next
of kin I've got a taste for that

You're not of the Clennams
of Cornwall, Mr Clennam?

Not that I know of

I know.I asked your mother,she has too much
character to let a chance escape her

Why?

There's a Cornish property going a
begging, sir, and no Cornish Clennam

Do you know how my mother
came to know Little Dorrit?

Dorrit? Dorrit eh

I turn off here. I wish you good night

Good Night

I beg you pardon,what is this place?

Marshalsea

The debtor's prison?

Yes

Are you familiar with the place?

I am

I beg you to excuse my curiosity but

Do you know the name of Dorrit here?

Of course I do

Gentleman coming in now

Dorrit.Mr Dorrit?

Gentleman wishes to see Mr Dorrit

A quivery,eh?

You wish to see my brother?

Come with me

I beg you pardon but

can anyone go in?

Anyone can go in but it
isn't everyone can go out

I do beg you pardon once more but

You see my name is Clennam

and I assume my mother's

where she is working, a young
woman,everyone called Little Dorrit

Dorrit?

I've been interested to know more about her

Clennam,doesn't remember

I've just seen her coming through this door

That very blue eyes

Very colourful blue eyes

I remember now on these matters,
it's Amy,my brother's daughter

Very good girl really

Does her duty

My brother would be lost without her

There are rather dark, Sir, but you
will not find anything in the way

My brother has been here many years

and much that happens , out of doors,
is kept from him

Be so good as to say nothing of my
niece's working at her needle

My money

Flesh and blood can't pay

Be so good as to say nothing,
beyond what is said among us

William

I found this gentleman,Mr Clennam,
son of Amy's friend

at the outer gate, wishful,
to pay his respects,

but hesitating to come in.
This is my brother William, sir

I hope I'm not disturbing you,Sir

Mr Clennam,you do me honour,
you are welcome,Sir

Frederick, a chair

Welcome to the Marshalsea,Sir

I have welcomed many gentlemen to
these walls.Pray sit down, Mr Clennam

My daughter Amy may have mentioned
that I am the father of this place

You'll excuse ,Mr Clennam,the primitive
customs to which we are reduced here

If you would do me the honour, Sir

Oh,thank you,no,no,thank you

You know,I dear say,that my
daughter Amy was born here

a dear girl, and long a comfort and
support to me.Your first visit here,Sir?

Yes,my first

You could hardly have been here
without my knowledge

It very seldom happens that anybody
with any pretensions,any pretensions

comes here without being presented to me

As many as forty have presented on one day

On a fine Sunday in the legal term time,
it is quite a Levee,quite a Levee

Amy, my dear, I have been trying
half the day to remember

the name of the gentleman from Camberwell

who was introduced to me
last Christmas week

by that agreeable coal merchant who
was remanded for six months

I don't remember, father

I mean the gentleman who did that
handsome action with so much delicacy

Ha! The name has quite escaped me

Mr Clennam, as I have happened
to mention delicate action

you may like, perhaps, to know what it is

Very much

It is so generous and
show such fine feeling

that it is almost a duty to mention it

Ah,well,it's of no use to disguise the fact

you must know, Mr Clennam,
that it does sometimes occur

that people who come here
desire to offer some little

Testimonial to the Father of the place

Sometimes it takes one shape,sometimes
another but it is generally money

And it is only too often acceptable,
this gentleman that I referred to

had brought a beautiful cluster
of geraniums,very fine geraniums

On my admiring it, he showed me
a piece of paper round it

on which was written, "For the Father of
the Marshalsea," and presented it to me

He made a particular
request, on taking leave

that I should remove the paper in
half an hour. I,ha,I did so

It contained,two guineas

I assure you, Mr Clennam, I have received
many testimonials of many degrees of value

and they have always been acceptable,
unfortunately,though nobody's fault

you know, but I never was more
pleased than with this one

Clennam,my daughter Fanny,my son Tip

Fanny,come for that child

The bell is a signal for visitors to retire

but there is plenty of time, plenty of time

I only want my clean dress
from Amy,Good Night,Father

Plenty of time

The lock

Hurry,Mr Clennam

Allow me to follow you downstairs

Oh,no,not on any account

Pray,allow me

Mr Clennam

Deeply,deeply

Not nobody's fault

Who is to blame for it,I do not know
who is to blame for it,I can tell you..

I'm afraid forgive me, I have
come here,I should like to ask..

You are very good,Sir,but I
wish you hadn't watched me

The bell is going to stop,you
must go,you'll be locked in

-Yes.I mean..
-You must go now

I'm sure you mean to be kind

Just one question,have you
known my mother long?

Two years,the bell has stopped,go quickly

Tomorrow morning I'll go by
the iron bridge at ten o'clock

Caught, eh?

You won't go home till morning

You must be sharper than that next time

It's after seven

She'll sit with him for another hour
reading yesterday's papers to him

Once she come out,like a little
ghost and vanish out there

She has a lodging at turnkey's

First house, sky parlour

She pays twice as much as
she would for an outside

but she stands by our governor,
poor dear girl

You're locked in,too

About! But not in your way.
I belong to the shop

only my sister has a theory

that our governor should never
know it. Can't see why, myself

Can I get any shelter?

What do I got to do?

If you are willing to pay for a bed

I will take you to the Snuggery,
I'll introduce you there

Gentleman here has done it

Got himself locked in

Willing to pay for a bed

I demand batten to me

Two pence a blanket

A penny should pay there?

All Battens,battenly

Coverage for finding it

How did you get yourself locked in?

Never mind,Mivvins

Kitchen fire over there,
table by subscription

All of that,there maybe some left

A small contribution wouldn't
come un-meticulous,you understand?

You please come to the main room

Quite comfortable

A few more elbowroom is all we need here

You said it,Doctor Haggage

It is quiet here

We don't get badgers here

There is no knocker here,Sir

to be hammered out by creditors and
bring a man's harp into his mouth

Nobody comes here

Fastly the man with a home sales

of candles and doormats,chandeliers,
it's freedom,Sir,freedom

Outside people are restless,
worried,hurried about

anxious suspecting one thing

anxious suspecting another thing,
nothing of the kind here,Sir

We have done all that

We know the worst of it

We've got to the bottom and we can't fall

What do we found?

Peace,that's the word for it

Peace

Tomorrow morning I will go by
the iron bridge at ten o'clock

Iron bridge at ten

I heard you were locked
in last night,I'm sorry

No,it was nothing,I had a good bed

Yes,I believe there are excellent
beds at Snuggery

It's very expensive

but my father has told me that

quite beautiful dinners will be
got there.And wine

Where did my mother find you?

Through a friend.His name
is Plornish,he is a plasterer

He lives in Bleeding Heart
Yard by the gateway

He asked a few people if they
needed any needlework done

That's how your mother heard it

Mr Clennam,I should like
to tell you something

Well,tell me what you
got to say,Little Dorrit?

I want to thank you for last night

And then I wish very much to say

Say it!

That I hope you will not
misunderstand my father

All he said was quite true,
he is very much respected

That is why they give him presents

as much they think they
know him to be needy

He is not to be blamed for being in need

Who could be in prison for a
quarter of a century, and be prosperous

quarter of a century

I could do something to get him out

No,it's no use

You don't know how hopeless this is

Let me ask you more

Does your father has many creditors?

Oh,yes

Do you know anything about them?

I used to hear a lot,long ago

Mr Tite Barnacle a commissioner

or a board, or a trustee,or someone.
He is in the government

He is someone important in
the government offices

I think that is it

I don't know really

Come ,will you go back?

-Walk,I presume?
-Yes

It's so cold and wet

Could you tell me where I
could find Mr Tite Barnacle?

Mr Tite Barnacle has just
gone out on a public business,Sir

Did you have an appointment?

I should like to make one

I suggest you return tomorrow,Sir

when Mr Tite Barnacle will be in,
to make an appointment

Excuse me,I should like to
see Mr Tite Barnacle

I am afraid that Mr Barnacle
is not available today

may I suggest you come back tomorrow
and make an appointment

Can't I make an appointment now?

I am afraid I am not in the position to
make an appointment with Mr Barnacle

If you will be so good and
come back tomorrow

Excuse me

I should like to see Mr Tite Barnacle

Mr Tite Barnacle is indisposed today

but as it happens young
Mr Barnacle is in the office

-If you be so good to give your name
-Clennam,Arthur Clennam

-I say,look here Mr..
-Clennam

Arthur Clennam

My father will be in today,is
there anything I can do?

I wish to see Mr Barnacle

You haven't got an appointment,you know

No,that's what I wish to have

But I say. Look here!
Is this public business?

Is it anything about,tonnage
or that sort of thing?

No,it's not about tonnage

Look here is it private business?

I really don't know

It's about a Mr Dorrit

Look here,you'd better call at our house,
24 Mews Street, Grosvenor Square

My father got a touch of gout
and is kept at home by it

Thank you

I shall call there now

Good Morning

You are quite sure it's
nothing about tonnage?

Quite sure

Mr Arthur Clennam

Mr Clemman

Be seated

Thank you

I have met a debtor in the Marshalsea
Prison of the name of Dorrit

Who has been there for many years

I wish to investigate his affairs
and see if I can help him

Your name was mentioned as an influential
interest amongst his creditors

Am I correctly informed?

The Department,Sir,may have possibly
recommended,possibly,I cannot say

That some public claim against the
insolvent estate of a partnership

To which this person may have
belonged, should be enforced

The question may have been,
in the course of official business

referred to the Department
for its consideration

The Department may have confirmed,
a Minute making that recommendation

I assume this to be the case, then

The Department is not responsible
for any gentleman's assumptions

How I can obtain official information
as to the state of the case?

I must refer you,to the Department itself
for a formal answer to that inquiry

Excuse me but I..

The Department is accessible to the,Public

if the Public

does not approach it according
to the official forms

then the Public has itself to blame

I want to know..

Please,say,look here,you mustn't come
into the place,say you want to know..

I want to know the precise
nature of the claim of the Crown

against a prisoner for debt named Dorrit

I say you haven't even got an appointment

you can't just come in and
say you want to know

Jenkinson

I want to know the precise
nature of the claim of the Crown

against a prisoner for debt named Dorrit

Come out your rascal,come on

Mr Meagles?

Clennam,my dear friend I
am pleased to see you

How are you? How are you?

I'm glad to see you

-How is your daughter?
-She is as well as may be

Yes,you may look at him

He is something to look at,
his name is Daniel Doyce

And he is a notorious rascal, a scoundrel

Yes,you may not think so but he is a public
offender,what has he been guilty of?

Murder? Arson? Forgery? No

He has done something,he
has done something useful

You know,everybody knows that
this glorious establishment here

is the most important department
of the government which has its finger

in the largest part of the public
pie and the smallest public part

without it,no public business of any
kind can possibly be done at any time

This fraud of a department

this Circumlocution office here has
been first of all public departments in

discovering the sublime principle,and whom
is the difficult art to govern a country

With tact,delicacy,genius

is the master of the art of perceiving
of how not to do it

I know it only too well,
let's get out of here

Yes,if anyone is to be ill
advised enough to do it

Or appear by surprising accident

of being in the remote danger of doing it,
is to be instantly extinguished

This man has been ingenious,he
has invented something useful

He has spent money on it,
time on it,how many years,Doyce?

-Twelve years
-Twelve years

The moment he addresses himself to the
Government, he becomes a public offender!

To be shut,to be put off, to be browbeaten,
passed on and handed over

I was made to feel as though
I had committed an offence

Here we are after interminable attendance

and correspondence and infinite
impertinences and ignorances and insults

We've been told that the Circumlocution
Office has arrived at no decision

in the respect of this patent application

which was filed twelve years ago and has
shelved the business,yes, here we are

Here we are,and where are we going now?

Bleeding Heart Yard I am
returning to the works

Bleeding Heart Yard? Good,
I want to go there myself

So much the better,come along

I shall see you in Twickenham next week

I have to come and turn on the
logo one of those days

Good Morning,Mr Doyce

Oh,beg you pardon,can you
tell me where Mr Plornish lives?

Yes,Sir,straight down on the
end,the last place

Thank you

I'd better think I know you,do I?

No,I don't think so

I'm thinking for messenger

There is a Gent who wishes
to see Mr Plornish

Well, sir,not to deceive you,
he's gone to look for a job

Well,can I wait for him?

-I'm expecting him any minute,walk in,Sir
-Thank you

Not to deceive you, sir,
I notice it,take it kind of you

There ain't many that
come into a poor place

That deems it worth their
while to remove their hats

But people think more of
it than people think

Wait here

Would you mind me asking Sir,if there
was a job you were to come about?

No

Such things as jobs seem to have gone
under the ground,they do indeed ,Sir

It's not for want of looking
after jobs, I am sure

Nor yet for want of working at them
when they are to be got. There is Plornish

Plornish

Plornish? My name is Clennam

I wanted to know if I could
talk to you about Miss Dorrit

-Dorrit's family
-I heard of you,Sir,sit down again

I have been on the
wrong side of the Lock myself

and in that way we are well
acquainted with Miss Dorrit

Intimate

There is manners,there is polish

There's a gentleman to have
run to seed in the Marshalsea jail!

I should like to be useful to
Miss Dorrit and to the family

Oh,yes,don't say it Sir, so should we

I wonder maybe something
could be done for the brother

Who is the plaintiff?

It's a horse,I mean it's a Captain
Maroon,friend of Captain Barbary

Mrs Captain Barbary came off the horse
was the one he wanted to sell him

in my judgement Captain Maroon
would be content with twenty shillings

and right waste of money it is

If you would settle it,
I should be most obliged

And Mr Plornish,I trust you
to keep this as a secret

and not to give my name to the plaintiff

Just say it is a friend

Will be done,Sir,directly

Would you take some tea,Sir?

Oh,no,Mrs Plornish I must getting
back to Coven Garden to my rooms

There is just one more thing,Mr Plornish

How did you introduce Miss
Dorrit at my mother's?

Plornish made out a few places
that Miss Dorrit wished for needle work

and likewise to the landlord of the Yard

to which it was that Mrs Clennam
first happened to employ Miss Dorrit

I see,and the landlord of the yard is?

Mr Casby, and Mr Pancks he collects
the rent,that is about what they are

Mr Casby again?

We are all pretty hard up in the Yard

you know,Mr Clennam,all wanting
work and not able to get it

It won't do you know?
You don't expect it,do you?

I haven't got it,Mr Pancks

I do not know who is to blame for it

Hey,ask to how is to blame for it?

I don't know who is to blame for it

Unfortunates with the wrongs on projects

who according to rule have been
bullied in this,overreached by that

Not his own fault it is

It's not my place to find out

Even if I did,nobody would mind

It don't come right by itself

Little Dorrit

My poor child

It must be nearly midnight

I said Little Dorrit, sir, on purpose
to prepare you.

I knew you must be surprised

Are you alone?

No,Sir,I got Maggy with me

Maggy?

This is Maggy,Sir

It's so wet and cold

Thank you,Sir

And I have no fire

Maggie is old Mrs Bangham's
grand daughter

I'm ten years old

When Maggy was ten years
old she had a bad fever

She's never grown any older since

What a nice hospital,such
a heavenly place

Such chickens,such oranges,
such a delightful place

She has never been at peace before

Her grandmother was very
unkind,indeed to her

Gin,broom-handles and pokers

To buy and ,she's
learnt all kind of things

Tell me why you are out on
the streets at this late hour

Maggy and I, have been to the
theatre where my sister works

She is a dancer,you see,
my uncle plays the clarinet

And oh ain't it a heavenly place

Almost as good as an hospital

I like to know foe myself how my sister
is doing,and see it with my own eyes

When neither she or my uncle is aware

It is seldom I can do that

Because I might do work with my father

But tonight I pretend that I am at a party

Oh,no,Sir certainly

I was never at a party in my life

May I tell you something,Sir?

Yes

My brother has come out

And I think,I think I know,thank you

I am very glad for your
brother,little Dorrit

There is something else

I hope you don't think I'm ungrateful

You will not be offended,Sir?

I promise I won't

I hardly know how to say it,if you,
if you come back to see my father can you

Can I

Please,Mr Clennam,don't do it,
don't give him any money

Don't understand him if he asks

Spare him,you don't know
what he is,what he really is

How can you seeing him there
all at once,and not gradually

He needs it so very badly,let me ask

Please don't.I quite understand.
Have a little to eat

No thank you,I'm not hungry

Maggie might like some perhaps,
we must be gone now,it's so late

Put some cake into your basket,Maggie

We must be gone,thank you,Sir,thank you

The gates will be locked now!

I'm going to Maggie's lodging
I shall be quite safe

You must let me accompany you,
I can't let you go alone

Please let us go alone,we know
the way,don't we,Maggie

Good Night,Sir,thank you

Mr Doyce?

How do you do,it is Mr Clennam

Oh,Mr Meagles's friend,how do you do

I am glad to see you again

I expect we are going to the same place

Yes I think we are

And I am glad of it

Pleasanter circumstances than last time

Yes,very much so

I dare say you both have given up
the whole business by now

I'm not sure of that

You mean,you're not yet quite discouraged?

I am discouraged of course

but my little discovery is still there

the thing is as true as it
ever was,it just is

As this is

Nothing enquired or answered

Do you have a partner to help you?

I used to have

He died,years ago

I ought to think of finding someone again

There is more to do at the
works than it used to be

Besides no inventor can be
a man of business,clearly

at least that is what my friend
Meagles seems to think

I'm afraid he looks upon me a man not
quite able to to take care of himself

Mr Clennam,good

I'm delighted to see you

Here we are,here we are Mr Clennam

-Good Afternoon
-Good Afternoon

I hope you had a pleasant journey

We're delighted please
make yourself at home

I have not had so pleasant
a greeting,except once

since you and I last walked
to and fro together

-Ah,Marseilles
-Looking down on the Mediterranean

Something like a look out, that was,
wasn't it?

I often think myself back there again

Spanish,of course

This is from La Spezzia

Often myself back there,when
I'm here and it is so devilishly quiet

We dine in here

Pompeii,Sicily

But then when I'm travelling I always
want to get back home again

Tuscany

My own snug room

These are Roman's of course from Herculenum

I like to look out on to the lawn,and
watch my Pet busy about the garden

Here they are you see

I stood behind this article
five and thirty years running

me because of the scales
and scoop I should speak

When I left the bank,I asked for them
and brought them back with me

Mr Meagles, do you remember

when you gave me some good advice
once before when I needed it?

Yes,perfectly

I have acted upon that advice and I've
left an occupation that was painful to me

But now I wish to devote myself
to some other pursuit

Right,my connection within
the banking establishment

No,as I came here today

I found that your friend Mr Doyce

is looking for a partner in business

Yes,just that

Mr Doyce mentioned that
he was going to take your advice

And if you think that our
views are at all likely to coincide

perhaps you might let him know my position

I

Of course in ignorance
of the details

Oh,no,no

But I shall be more than glad,provided
you and Mr Doyce think well of it

But I don't dissipate anything

I think something may well come out of it

I shall talk to Mr Doyce in the morning

I am much obliged

It is a beautiful house

Papa,dinner will be ready soon

So will we,so will we

This is from Herculenum of course

Roman

What are you thinking of,Clennam?

Nothing

Think of something next time,
there's a good fellow

Miss Minnie,I brought your mantle down

Oh,Mrs Tickit

I was on the upstairs landing in the
dark,wondering about the draught

almost strictly speaking

considering that the evenings are
still cold,it is only May after all

The white one would have
looked much better with this dress

Never mind

As I was saying

the upstairs landing,being actually
neither upstairs nor down stairs

being what a person like form an inter
section,a deliberate situation I might say

You'll find it so yourself,Sir,
I'll be bold to say

This is Mrs Tickit,Clennam

dear Mrs Tickit,she is an important
part of the cottage,you know

There is nothing uncertain
here in the actual steam

and that's all,which is important,this
is similar with some things for distance

It is is a hard string up there

steam from the boiler over there has
lead into each side of the pistons

You see it condensed from
the vacuum from either side

and that rises the pistons
backwards and forth

Practical people

All pistons drives two
wheels and the mains up

He wanted to show you works
first,I just wait for you then

I've plenty of reliable business,
of many different kinds

And this is where we cut
and strengthen on the brass

You notice ,Sir,that the pendulum
travels their own length

on the back,and makes 60
different springs,very nice work,Sir

This is the practical side of
the business,you'll find everything here

is in good order if though it
appears it is somewhat behind

and Daniel has some wild
ideas of methods of entering

He wants you to examine
everything for yourself

And gentle be sharing
his rooms in the yard too

you have to keep a check on him,Clennam

and bring your common
sense into the partnership

Good gracious, Arthur,--I should say
Mr Clennam, far more proper

the climb we have had to get up here

and how ever to get down
again without a fire-escape

Mr F.'s Aunt and myself would
not have intruded on business hours

Mr F. having been in business

and though the wine trade still
business is equally business

call it what you will and business habits
are just the same as witness Mr F.himself

who had his slippers always on the
mat at ten minutes before six

Machinery but I found my way to everything

but without so much as sending a line

or a card to papa I don't say
me though there was a time

though it is long still past and stern
reality has now,my gracious,never mind

Oh ,dear Arthur,Mr Clennam,
everywhere more delicate

I was begged to excuse

to take the liberty of intruding to give
you congratulations and good wishes

a great deal superior to China and
much nearer though higher up

Thank you,Flora,I was soon make you a visit

I guess.However when Pancks told us

I made up my mind that Mr F.'s Aunt and
I would come and call because when papa

which was before then--said that
I happened to mention her name to me

and to say that you were interested
in her I said at the moment Good gracious

why not have her here then when there's
anything to do instead of putting it out

When you say Her, you mean

Good Gracious,Arthur

Doyce and Clennam is everywhere more
businesslike,Little Dorrit of course

and of all the strangest names
I ever heard the strangest

like some place down the country with a
turnpike, or a favourite pony or something

from a seed-shop to be put in a garden
or a flower-pot and come up speckled

There are milestones on the road to Dover

Mr F's aunt is very spirited today

Then Mr Casby was so kind as
to mention Little Dorrit to you, was he?

What did he say?

You know what papa is like
how aggravatingly he sits there

looking beautiful and turning his
thumbs over and over one another

till he makes one quite giddy if
one keeps one's eyes upon him

He said you had spoken
very earnestly of her

and I said what I have
told you and that's all

That's all?

Except that I hope it is
agreeable to all parties

that she should come and work
at our house when required

That's very kind of you,you Flora

Papa! Hush, Arthur, for Mercy's sake!

You can't make a head and brains
out of a brass knob with nothing in it.

I was thanking Mrs Finching

for offering to employ the young needle
woman you recommended to my mother

You didn't recommend her,
you know,how could you?

You never knew anything about her

And think of Doyce
and Clennam,Doyce might be

The name was mentioned to you, and you
passed the message on. That's what YOU did

You are not acquainted,
then with any of the family?

Family? How should he be
acquainted with any of the family?

He never heard of them

You can't be acquainted with someone
you never heard of, can you?

I should think not

Never heard of her,Dorrit

Give her up,Dorrit

Never heard of her

Mind how you go Frederick

Tell me anything of her

-I'm Mr Clennam is Miss Dorrit
-Miss Dorrit is gone out already

Oh,I'm sorry to have missed her

I wanted to let her know
about a possible employment

Could I ask you to give her this address,
it's Mr Casby and mention my name

It's a misunderstanding

What I mean I am not going to tell you

I ask you,pardon,could you by any means

find time to go by Horsemonger Lane
Lane at your way out,at this address

Chivery and Co., Tobacconists

It 's not a tobacco business, it's my wife

She's wishful to say a word to
you, sir,respecting Miss Dorrit

-I'll see your wife immediately
-Thank you,Sir

- Please to ask for Mrs Chivery!
-Of course,thank you

-Mrs Chivery?
-Mr Clennam?

You may see him now

If you'll be so kind to take a peep

Our John

It's the only change he takes,when there's
linen to keep the neighbours' eyes off

He'll sit there, hours. Says he
feels as if it was groves!

What might be the matter with him?

Miss Dorrit is the matter with our John,Sir

He's a breaking his heart for her

and I would wish to take the liberty to ask

how it's to be made good
to his parents when bust?

Does Miss Dorrit know?

Bless you,Sir,they have been
brought up together

His cane alone would have told her long ago

if nothing else. Young men like John don't
take to ivory hand appointing, for nothing.

That's how I view it

Her brother and sister are against
our John and so is her father

She is doomed to be there slave for ever

Sir,I can only implore
you to use your influence

on the family for our John's sake
and for Miss Dorrit's sake

Well,I will do my best

I assure you,Mrs Chivery

Mr Clennam

Pancks

A, B, C, D. DA, DE, DI,
DO. Dictionary order.

Dorrit,that's the name I want to know about

This is a singular visit,Mr Pancks
how extraordinary

It may be all extraordinary all together.
It may be out of the ordinary course,

and yet be business.
I am a man of business

What business have I in this present
world, except to stick to business?

Now,to put this business on its
own footing, it's not my proprietor's

Mr Casby?

My proprietor

Put a case. Say, at my
proprietor's I hear name

a name of young person
Mr Clennam wants to serve

Say, name first mentioned to
me by Plornish in the Yard

Say, I ask Plornish for information

Say, Plornish declines

though six weeks in arrears to my
proprietor, say he refers me to Mr Clennam

-Well?
-Here I am

Motive is good,not state-able
at present but good

What do you want to know?

How did you first meet Miss Dorrit? When?
Where? How did you meet Mr Dorrit?

-Good Morning,Mrs Tickit
-Good Morning Sir

You've been well to walked early,
Sir,it's going to rain to be sure

Surely not,Mrs Tickit

It's a lovely morning

Allow me to introduce myself,Henry Gowan

Clennam,Arthur Clennam

Pretty place this,looks
wonderful well this morning

Your first visit?

No,I've been here twice before

Of course this is not the best aspect

It looked charming in the spring last year

I've had the pleasure of
seeing so many times

It's paradise

Mr Gowan,how nice that you'd come early

Good Morning,Mr Clennam,isn't it
a lovely morning,let's go to breakfast

Mrs Tickit was right

Most unpleasant weather

But who cares about the
weather,in such company

Btw I hope you don't mind,Sir

but I have taken the liberty

to ask a connection of mine
to call for me here later on

No,not at all

Who is he?

Tite Barnacle's son, Clarence Barnacle

Barnacle?

Let me see

what relation would this young fellow
you're expecting to be to Lord Decimus?

His Lordship married,
in seventeen ninety-seven

Lady Jemima Bilberry

who was the second daughter
by the third marriage--no! I am wrong!

Who was the first daughter
by the second marriage

of the fifteenth Earl of Stiltstalking

This young fellow's father married
a cousin who was a Barnacle too.

Good Afternoon,Sir

That must be my friend or
relation or whatever he is

Just between you and me

Clarence is a great ass but he is
the dearest and best fellow that ever lived

I suppose what's his name, will
be at Twickenham tomorrow

Gowan?

He comes every Sunday

I thought our good friend
Meagles rather out of spirits

when Mr Gowan arrived the other day

Yeah

But not his daughter

I feel sorry for our friend

Of course

He will never make her happy

We don't know that he
wouldn't make her happy

We don't know

But we think it'll be probable

We mustn't disparage the gentleman
simply because he is successful with her

Maybe

Maybe she is too young,
too petted,too confiding

Too inexperienced to discriminate well

That we cannot help

She is so young

We must be hopeful and generous

And I'm getting old

I'm twice her age

I suppose so

I am too old

And we don't know that he
won't make her happy

In England

Of course,in England

When they take their inventions into
foreign countries,it's quite different

That's the reason why so many go there

Why don't you come in now Daniel

We'll open the parcel from Italy

See if your plans you
were expecting are in it

I think I shall take a stroll
under the trees,Papa

I wasn't worse use than hundred
others who put themselves..

The evening is so lovely

Mr Clennam,will you walk with me?

I should very much like to

The evening is so lovely

Yes it's very pleasant here

It's a beautiful garden

Mr Clennam

Papa has been thinking
of going abroad again

He has given up the idea at the moment

Mr Clennam

I should very much like to give
you my confidence,if you wouldn't mind

I think I would have done it some
time ago,if I had known how

But I scarcely know how even now

Mr Gowan has reasons to be very happy

God Bless his wife and him

Mr Clennam,thank you

Thank you

Well,since I'm such an old,old
friend to you and your father

can't I be of any assistance to you?

In some little way

Mr Clennam,please tell me
you don't blame me

But my dearest girl,no,
please I should like to help

Dear Mr Clennam

There will be such a blank when I am gone

Papa makes so much of me

If you could come and see Papa

and keep him company,there is no
one he likes so much as you

He told me this morning

Of course

Dear Mr Clennam

If there is any trouble I may have
caused you without meaning it

or having in my power to
help it,forgive me tonight

It is nothing to forgive

Good Bye

Mr Clennam,Mr Clennam

Such a poor thing to do

Little Mother says that I
should stop at Mr Dorrit

but he says "Maggie you take that
letter to Bleeding Heart Yard

and you shall have a six pence
if you ask the recipient"

and you are loitering here
instead of being here so and so

And Mr Tip sees me going and
says" I'll have a try too"

And I'll to have a shilling if
the answer's a good 'un

it ain't my fault that
you are so and so,is it?

No Maggie,of course it isn't your fault

now you give this to Mr Dorrit and tell
Mr Tip that I'll beg to be excused

And here is a shilling for you

And please tell Mr Dorrit that I'd
like to call on him this afternoon

John,Dorrit upstairs?

Yes,Sir,Miss Amy likewise,Miss Amy
is not as well as one could wish

Shrimps and ham have been fetched

I am always glad to see my old pensioner

You are comfortable Nandy?

You're sure it is well buttered
for my old pensioner, Maggie

Ah,Mr Clennam,how fortuitous,
you come in and join our little party

Amy,my love,you know Mr Clennam,even
better than I have the happiness of doing

Come in,Mr Clennam,come in and take a seat

This, you must know,
is an old pensioner of mine, Old Nandy

Fanny, my dear, you are
acquainted with Mr Clennam

Maggie,hurry,the life on
the plate for Mr Clennam

Let me see

-You know Paul Plornish,don't you?
-Yes

Old Nandy is Mrs Plornish's father

Work house,out for today,poor thing

Thank you,my dear

Not yet ready for more ham,Nandy?

His last teeth,are going, poor old boy

Tip

Tip, dear,don't you see

More shrimps,Mandy?

If you refer to that,I see!

-Is that all you say?
-That's all I say

And I suppose,he will understand,
he hasn't used me like a gentleman

His hearing is getting very defective

Faculties evidently decaying,
old man rusts with the life he leads!

I don't understand that

No? Why, then, to make it clearer
to you,Sir, I beg to let you know

that when I address a delicate appeal

to an individual, for a small temporary
accommodation easily within his power

mind you, when that individual writes back

to say that he begs to be excused

I consider that he doesn't
treat me like a gentleman

How dare you

Now, don't ask me how I dare,
father, because that's bosh

Besides, you ought to be proud
of my showing a proper spirit

I should think so!

A proper spirit? Is my
son teaching me,me,spirit!

Don't let us bother about it,
father, I have made up my mind

You have no right to make up your
mind to what is monstrous,parricidal

What is it to you?

It has everything to do with me,
let me suppose the case

that I may myself at a certain time,
or times, have made a delicate appeal

to some individual for a small
temporary accommodation

that the accommodation was not extended

and that the individual
begged to be excused

Am I to be told by my own son

that I have therefore received the
treatment not due to a gentleman?

Papa

I point out to you,Sir,the
delicacy of your father's position

Besides,is it Christian to stigmatize
an individual who begs to be excused

Would it be not more Christian,
to try him again?

Mr Dorrit,Mr Dorrit

Yes I'll be downstairs

I see precious well, I shall not get
a fair argument here tonight

and so the best thing I can do is to cut

Good night, don't be vexed

I know,I know

Amy,my dear,persuade Mr Clennam
to stay a little longer?

Mr Clennam,you see a public duty

Amy,my dear,perhaps you may do something

towards erasing from Mr Clennam's mind

the untoward circumstances
that has occurred since tea time

Be very careful how you
descend the stairs,Mandy

They are rather uneven and worn

It's no longer very elastic

A melancholy side,without doubt,Mr Clennam

no one has the consolation
that he doesn't feel it himself

Poor old fellow,spirit broken

Pulverized

How seldom I've seen you
lately,Little Dorrit

I've been busy,Sir

I am doing work for Miss Lloyd
now as well as needle work

It was very kind of you to
make sure I got employed

It's the least I could do

I've heard that you have been in
Bleeding Heart Yard several times

Why not come and see me then?

I don't know

Or rather I thought you might be busy

You heard many arguments

Oh,Little Dorrit,don't think too
much what happened here just now?

Please

I'm a friend,remember

Don't take any notice of my brother

You haven't been ill,Mr Clennam?

No

You look tired

To speak the truth I had
been little troubled lately

but it's over,do I show it so plainly?

I must do better

Let me confess then that..

Forgetting how old and grave
I am,I fancied I loved someone

Do I know her?

Oh,no

I found out my mistake

And I thought about it a little

and I counted my years and
considered how old I am

And I..why am I telling
you all this,Little Dorrit?

Because you trust me,I hope

Yes,I do

trust you,and you must trust me too

Why do you never come to see me?

My place is here, I am better here

Pancks for the Gypsy,fortune-telling

I've been spending the evening
with the rest of them downstairs

Pancks,gypsy,fortune-telling

How do you do,Miss Dorrit

Capital company here,eh, Miss Dorrit?

Capital company here. I've
been treating 'em all round

I am in wonderful feather,
can't stop a minute,I shall be missed

I've been singing,I've been
taking a part for what it sounds

I do not know anything about it

but it doesn't matter,Miss Dorrit,
I hope you don't mind

Mr Clennam,will you step
outside the room a moment

Miss Dorrit I wish you a good night

-What can I do? Good Night,Little Dorrit
-Good Night,Sir

-Thank you ever so much
-Not at all

Don't mention it. I'm coming into
my property, that's the fact.

I can afford to be liberal,
I think I'll give them a treat here

Tables laid in the yard. Bread
in stacks.Tobacco in hay loads

Pipes in faggots. Roast beef and
plum-pudding for every one.

Quart of double stout a head

Mr Pancks,you've made some discovery
now what it is,for heavens sake

We rather think so,Mr Rugg

Mr Rugg

Yes,yes

I am so glad to have you here

Does it implicate?

No implicate

Is it any wrongdoing of any kind?

No,no,no,don't think of it

You are to understand,Sir,we are
this very day virtually complete

We shan't be legally be for another
two three days. Call it at a week

No one implicated

We've been at it night and day
for I don't know how long,Sir

You'll have to break it to her

Not yet

Your Father of the Marshalsea! Oh,stuff

Mr Rugg,will you do me the honour

Nobody is to pain,thank God

When I heard the news ,Sir,is
the luxury of your own dealings

Just wait for another two or three
days,Sir,and you shall break it to her

Nobody is to blame

Nobody is to blame

I don't know how is to be blamed

my poor fellow of such
a restless disposition

It's an unspeakable comfort
to see they are so happy

Let us hope they continue happy

Let us hope the pretty one

will do everything she can to make
my poor inconstant fellow happy

My dear Arthur,you've just
come at the right time

Mr Clennam,Mrs Gowan,Henry's mother

I hope they will make each other happy

I hope they will be happy managed
on their little income

You know you are businesslike

And weight them too much for our soul not

How could you talk about they
managing their little means

I hear my poor dear fellow

my dear good man I use no ceremony with you

because we are a kind of relation possibly

Dear fellow,when we come to expectation

and these expectations can be realized in
this world,none of us can have everything

Mind,how would want everything?

They are there,you knew
that from the first to the last

I always objected to this match of yours

At a very late period yielded
a most unwilling consent to it

No,in this world none of
us can have everything

Thank you Mr Clennam,hardly I need to
tell you what I am thinking about

Because a person's thoughts

whoever they may stray will
settle more or less in their mind

You see Clennam,I'm a disappointed
man,that you know already

I belong to a family,or a connection,
whatever you'd like to call it

That might have provided for
me in one of fifty ways

But they took it into its head

not to do it at all,so here I am,
a poor devil of an artist

But on the other hand

Yes,I know,I have the good fortune
of being loved by a beautiful charming girl

and having a father in law
who is a liberal boy

Still, I had other prospects washed
and combed into my childish head

when it was washed and combed for
me, and I took them to a public school

when I washed and combed it for myself

and here I am without them,
a disappointed man

But surely your profession is
full of interest and ambition

What a good fellow you are,Clennam

You've never been disappointed,
that's easy to see

Clennam,I don't like to dispel
your generous visions

and I would give any money (if I had any),
to live in such a rose-coloured mist

But what I do is trash

what all these fellows do is
trash, and we do it to sell it

All the rest is hocus-pocus

Now here's one of the
advantages, or disadvantages

of knowing a disappointed man
You hear the truth

Farewell partner,you're a disappointed man

Come along

I must say good bye

I shall take great care of her,Sir

Good Bye,boy

It is very gratifying,
Arthur,to look back on..

On the past?

Yes

I mean the company,that's high

Miss Dorrit

Far away from the confined space
of the borough high street,Sir

In Dorset,huge estate,cattle,forest,land

annual yield 3000 £ and thereabout

Sitting on 70000£ old lady

We can name her

Name is Dorrit

No heirs.Old lady dies

No Dorrits in Dorset

No Dorrits anywhere estate unclaimed

Till I read the name in the papers

Then I hear the same name
at my proprietor,curious

Think no more of it

except fancying what a change it
would make for the little seamstress

If

Think of it again,Sir,and again

Mold it out,Sir

The Father of the Marshalsea,
see, is the next of kin

Huge estate,Sir,huge fortune,
huge,it's all here ,Sir

All rights,and legal forms for perfection

You can go and tell her

Come on,what are you waiting for

Good gracious, Arthur—Doyce and Clennam!

pray excuse a wrapper for upon my word,
I really never,and a faded check too

My little friend..

I ought to apologize for so early visit

but I am sure you'll forgive me
when I tell you the reasons

In times for ever fled

it would have sounded strange for
you to make apologizes,Arthur

Forgive me,Mr Clennam

I mean no bad news,only good
news,very good news

Wonderful news

None of those peas take these

Look at that chap

he is too proud to eat,let him eat a
meal of chaff,then he needs some

Yes,Aunt,we will go and
get some prepared presently

Very lively today,not nice

Yes

Extraordinary news,Dorrit

-Your father
-My father

Your father,yes

He will be free within the week

You must go and tell him now,
he will be free within a few days

We must go to him and tell him

And this is not all for the fortunes

Wonderful fortune,dear Little Dorrit

-Shall I tell you more?
-Yes

Your father will be no beggar
when he is free

He will want for nothing

We must go and tell him,you see,
he knows nothing of this yet

Little Dorrit

You want me to tell him all?

Yes

Your father will be a rich man

A great sum of money is
waiting to be paid to him

As part of his inheritance

You are all wealthy

You are all wealthy

Father.Oh Mr Clennam

My dear what luck,can you believe it

And I shall think of nothing
else this morning

Now,mines of money,is it really?

And you dear little thing

only this morning looking for
needles so poor and now a fortune

but you must know my darling

because you never will be strong enough
to tell him all about it upon teaspoons

mightn't it be even best to try

the directions of my own medical man

for though the flavour is
anything but agreeable

still I force myself to use
it as a prescription

And find the benefit,everybody will
congratulate you,some in earnest some not

many people will congratulate
you with all their hearts

but none more so I do assure
you from the bottom of my own

I must go,we must go and tell
father,will you come with me?

My dear love,make God bless you

We must go and tell father

vowing that the dress
will never be finished

but laid by as a keepsake just as
it is and called Little Dorrit

I shall fetch some wine

Forgive me has something happened,Sir?

No,there is nothing wrong,just a
piece of good fortune for Mr Dorrit

And Miss Dorrit

So old Dorrit is just getting out

Yes

-How?
-He has inherited some money

Quite unexpectedly

So Mr Dorrit is going to be a rich man

Yes,Mr Dorrit is going to
be a very rich man

Mr Clennam,thank you

It really is very extraordinary

I mean

We found the most..,I mean Mr Pancks
has worked it up wonderfully well

It's all entirely due to him

We traced back,he traced back,all the
connections,he has worked out everything

He shall be handsomely recompensed

Assure yourself, Mr Clennam,
that everybody concerned

shall be nobly rewarded.
No one, my dear Sir,shall say

that he has an unsatisfied claim
against me I shall repay the advances

I have had from you,
Sir, with peculiar pleasure

I beg to be informed

at your earliest convenience,
what advances you have made my son

All the people who have been well
behaved towards myself and my family

shall be rewarded

Chivery shall be rewarded.
Young John shall be rewarded

Would you allow me,Sir,to supply
any present contingencies, I thought ..

Thank you,Sir,thank you.
I accept with readiness

I am obliged to you for
the temporary accommodation

Exceedingly temporary, but well timed

Be so kind to add the
amount to the former advances

a mere verbal statement of the
gross amount is all I shall require

It will be necessary
to find a milliner, my love

and your sister and your brother,Amy,they
must be told immediately,and your uncle

They must not let them do anything,
they must all be informed

The news has spread,will you show yourself?

Mr Dorrit is very obviously wanted

I wish I could,..it must be done

See to the collar my dear

It looks better for now

We had a great news

Yes

How can I thank you enough,Mr Clennam

My little thought,Mr Clennam,when
you and I were walking together that night

and I told you had a fancy for collecting
names that it would come to this

I little thought I would ever tell
you who were the Dorrits of Dorsetshire

Took a bit of moleing,Sir

Always moleing must have cost
you a lot of money,Mr Pancks

Not a trifle,I'll tell you how I did it

First, I spent my own,then I
borrowed some from my proprietors

Mr Casby?

Noble old boy,ain't he?

boiling-over old Christian

Twenty percent.Never do
business for less at our shop

Mr Rugg lend me the rest for ten percent

Mr Rugg has his haircut,Sir,
and the brim of his hat is narrow

and there's no more benevolence
bubbling out of him, than out of a ninepin

Now I have my thousands
pounds a fortune for me

Farewell my dear

Never lose your spirit

Take heed

Mind those poorly

Where is Miss Dorrit?

Little Dorrit

Mr Clennam

I think you must think what
I have done,Mr Clennam

They are all downstairs,
Little Dorrit,ready to leave

I must go,I must hurry,Good Bye
Mr Clennam,dear Mr Clennam

-Dear Mr Clennam
-Dorrit

-Can I ask one service of you,as a friend
-Yes

When you go abroad,and I
hear you are travelling to Italy

it maybe,that travelling at this time
often throws people in all kinds of ways

you might meet a friend of mine

a dear friend,her name is Minnie Gowan

will you tell her I hope she is
well and happy and that

Carried out in that dress after all

And by that Clennam too

She's been forgotten

She just fainted,the emotion
being too much for her

Amy

Take care of her poor little head

Open your eyes,Amy

Amy,I am so vexed and ashamed,
do rouse yourself,Amy,darling

Why are they not driving on,Papa

I shall be working late tonight,Clennam

Mr Casby

And he sits there

With his polished gate,his white hair

It's too provoking

Then he says to me

"Mr Pancks,you have been remiss,Sir"

"You have been remiss"

I say to him "What do you mean by that?"

I mean Mr Pancks

you have to be sharper with the people,
Sir,much sharper with the people

You don't squeeze them

Your receipts aren't up to the mark

Come,come,Mr Pancks

Come and dine with me,my
partner is working late tonight

We'll go to that slapped
down place on the corner

Come on

Two nice slices from the
joints of beef and gravy

He says to me"You must squeeze them"

Squeeze them

"Don't I squeeze 'em?" says I
what else am I made for

You are made for nothing else,Mr Pancks

You are paid to do your duty,
but you don't do your duty

You are paid to squeeze,
and you must squeeze to pay

More portions of cabbage

Just as it was about to bounce the stage

the door man greeted it and shouted
in his loudest voice "Tuppence please"

How can I squeeze them,
Mr Clennam,if they are dry?

They haven't got any money

And neither hadn't got it

They say to me "If we had it,
we'd be glad to pay you"

In the muddle

Out of the muddle,
they pay of course

They say to me "It's you
who are in a muddle"

And be better still

You wouldn't have to worry of something

You would be easy in your mind

That's what they say

Maybe

I am looking into it

I say,Mr Clennam,you are listening?

Oh,I beg you pardon,Mr Pancks

I was thinking about Little,
about Miss Dorrit

Little Miss Dorrit?

I wonder how she is in her new life

I've heard her sister's is quite often to
be seen with great Merdle's stepson

It is curious how this
Merdle touch something

I heard it reported,Mum

that it was Mr Merdle that took it and
is not expected that he should lose by it

his way of being,if you might say,
pay it with gold

I'll have a four ounce of Irish,please

I was just saying to Mrs Kidgerbury here,
that thought what we were told

Mr Casby

Mr Pancks comes from the barber

I haven't seen them together
so long as I can remember

Mr Casby is coming now

Pancks coming upstairs

Mr Casby is coming

Now

You sugary swindler

I mean to have it out with you

Mr Casby,Sir

I have discharged myself from your service

I might help you,what you are

You are an impostor,Sir

You ask these good people
who is the hard man here

They tell you it's Pancks at
thirty shillings a week

But I tell you good people it's Casby,here

And I don't know how much a year

This lump of love

This bottle-green smiler

This is your driver

A driver in disguise

A screwer by deputy

shaver and squeezer,and
wringer by substitute

Philanthropic sneak

Shabby deceiver!

It's time to hear Pancks

Mr Pancks comes down into the Yard
on purpose today that you should hear him

I ain't an agreeable style of chap

I know that very well

I am a dry, uncomfortable,
dreary Plodder and Grubber

That's me

But what's a man to be, with such
a man as this as his Proprietor?

Casby,come on Casby

What has my life been?

Fag and grind, fag and grind,
turn the wheel, at me!

Pancks is only the works

but here's the Winder!

Here's the Stop,that sets
the tune to be ground

And there is but one tune, and
its name is Grind, Grind, Grind!

Here is your Proprietor

And here is his Grubber

Why, when he comes smoothly
spinning through the Yard

like one of them Humming-Top

moving among you with such smoothness

that you've no idea of the
pattern painted on them

So did I may have all the blame on Monday

Because I am at the present moment under
special orders to squeeze you on Monday

Shabby

Patriarch,your Casby

He is uncommonly improving to
look at, and I am not at all so

He is as sweet as honey

And I am as dull as ditch-water

He provides the pitch, and
I handle it, and it sticks to me

Dear Mr Clennam

First I must tell you I met Mrs Gowan

And she asked me to thank you and
tell you she is very well and happy

And she looked most beautiful

My life is so strange
and I miss you so much

If you knew how much you would pity
me for being so far away and so grand

What I knew before blends so
curiously with everything

I am fulfilled that it is the Marshalsea
just behind that building

I must get back quickly to Mrs Clennam's
house,where I worked for so many days

My first four years

Do you remember?

Mr Clennam,come quickly Mr Clennam

What's happened?

It's Smiles,Sir,it's awful his arm
got caught in the belt,Mr Clennam

something stopped the belt fast
enough,now there is blood everywhere

Mr Doyce

What a shame,what a shame

You might not think it,he was such a
beautiful reader of newspapers,Smiles was

Did you know he could do
the police in several voices?

Thank Goodness it was nobody's
fault,no one to be blamed for it

The belts have to be blamed for it,Clennam

The belts

And I am to be blamed
because I knew of it

Noise,fatigue a moment inattention
and the belts take their man

Or his arm

Or his hand

And I knew of it

You see,Clennam,once we
did the work without all this

It was so unharmed and
we thought of this new idea

we made that improvement,and we made tools

and we built machines piece meal

every piece in a violent hurry
for someone man's purpose

Sometimes killing and maiming without heed

You see Clennam

We could dispense with
the belts all together

There are a few devices
I've been thinking of

which would make it possible to
transmit the power from the steam engine

to a separate machine without the belts

Was that the idea that was sunk by the
fine gentleman of the government offices?

Yes,and I shouldn't have
let it go so easily

The man was done wrong because I let it go

I should have pursued it

An idea is not put into
a man's head to be buried

it is put into his head to be useful

Can you explain your idea for me?

The idea consists of using
vacuum and atmospheric pressure

as a force directly driving the machines

Without the belts

The design is a valve

which simply reverses the action
of the ordinary steam engine

A mechanical driven piston forms
a vacuum on either side of itself

or alternatively within the cylinder
and oiled its pipes from the central,,,

And now I must take it up for you

with those gentlemen
in the government offices

They already deserved the government team
from start all over again,my lord gentlemen

And setting up the facts as it was all new

You fail,business will be shelved

alongside minutes 5108 which
will vex where you was

Let's try it anyway

I should be ashamed

if it didn't from the field of a much older

and more sensitive interested man
contended with such fortitude

Difficult to say

Forgive me,just one moment,
something I must just

Excuse me,Daniel

Only ask you one question

Are these letters correct?

Oh,yes

They are?

I just wanted to be quite sure

when you are gone next week,
I shall have no one to guide me

Arthur,my dear boy

Arthur,I don't feel comfortable

Perhaps you are just little anxious

That's what maybe I am

Little anxious,but she shouldn't be left
to feel lonely just at the present time

It is after all the first baby

I feel very much disposed to pack up
a bag of baggage be off to see my Pet

That is a sufficient reason for going

Travel with Daniel first stretch

I don't think you could do better

Weather could not be more promising

Oh,I beg you pardon,Sir,he is not you

No,no,not at ll

I came with a trifle of paper

Excuse me I want to

Excuse me I try to find to apply for..

Excuse me I am trying to
find out where to apply

I want to apply for paper..

Excuse me if this where

Excuse me

Good Bye Meagles

Daniel,I tell you I have started,
I'll get something out from these people

You will not,take my word
for it,you never will

Does no man any good to
have his patience worn out

To think himself ill used

Good Luck with your journey
and your plans,Daniel

Thank you,Arthur

Good Luck,and Daniel I will go on trying

Try the secretarial department,Mr Wobbler

Mr Wobbler?

So he went down to his cousin's place

and took the Dog with him
by rail. Inestimable Dog.

Flew at the porter fellow when
he was put into the dog-box

and at the guard when he was taken out

Mr Wobbler

He got half-a-dozen fellows
in made the match

and heavily backed the Dog.
When the match came off

some devil of a fellow was bought over, Sir

Dog was made drunk, Dog's
master was cleaned out.

Mr Wobbler

What did he call the dog?

Called him Lovely

-Mr Wobbler
-What's the matter?

I want to know where to go to apply for
a patent concerning a mechanical device

Can't inform you,know nothing about it

nothing at all to do with it, try Mr Clive

second door in the passage on the left

Said the Dog was the perfect picture of
the old aunt from whom he had expectations

-Mr Clive
-Yes

I want to know

Ah,Mr Barnacle,fellow here wants to know

You better not bother yourself with it

Not bother myself with it?

I recommend you not to
bother yourself about it

But I..

You can if you like,I can give
you plenty of forms to fill up

lots of them,but you never go on with it

Would it be such hopeless work?

I don't think it would be hopeless

I don't express an opinion about that;
I only express an opinion about you

I don't think you'd go on with it.
However, you can do as you like

We'd better take you down
here to Mr Ledbrain's office

Now you memorialise this department

according to forms which
Mr Ledbrain will give you

When you gave

That memorial must be entered

In the Patent Department

Sent to be registered

Sent back to be countersigned

By the Registration Department

Which will take some time

Then it will be given to the
Regular Patent Department

For examination

You will find out when the business passes

through each of these stages
by asking all these departments

Till then tell you

I ask you pardon,my fault

That was the great Mr Merdle

And Merdle this and Merdle that

People say that Merdle is a
wonderful to put all to right

In spite of that,which overlooked it..

Mr Merdle's Mum got his
partnership with the government

Set himself up spectacularly
on the share market

Mr Clennam what's happened

Doyce is dead

Died in Lyon on his way

That's it

Pancks come in

Tell me story of yourself

It would be an act of
charity if you stay a little

It's so hot

I was so very,very fond of him,Pancks

He was a wonderful man,
he was such a good friend to me

I know

Is curious I've been thinking
a lot about Little..Miss Dorrit lately

I wish I know how she is

I've heard that they could come back soon

And her sister is to marry Merdle's stepson

Little stepson

Btw isn't it odd,Pancks,that these ventures

should run in so many
people's heads just now

Ventures? What ventures?

These Merdle enterprises

-Oh! Investments
-Yes

I didn't know you were
speaking of investments

Yes,investments is the word

Wasn't it a curious thing that they
should run in everybody's head?

Wasn't that how you put it?

That was what I said

Think of the whole Yard having got it

Whether they pay, or don't pay,
Merdle, always Merdle

And why,why? Why is always why,why?

Very strange how these runs
on an infatuation prevail

Ain’t it?

Because you see these people
don't understand the subject

Not a bit

Not a bit

Know nothing of figures

Never made a calculation. No
nothing of money questions

Never worked it, Sir

If they had

If they had?

Sorry,I thought you spoke

Not at all

I might in a minute

If they had?

What if they had,I suppose
they would know better

They're right, you know,Mr Clennam

Right?

They don't mean to be, but they're right

You mean they are right

in they could speculate with
Mr Merdle's railway development?

Perfectly,Sir

I've gone into it, I've worked it

I've made the calculations.
It's safe and genuine

Do you mean that you

would put your thousand pounds,
Sir,in Merdle's railway share?

Certainly

Already done it,I tell you
Mr Clennam,I've gone in to it

He's a man of immense resource,
enormous capital,prodigious enterprise

He is in everything good
from banking to building

Government influence

Germane of this,strategy
of that,pressing the other

They are the best scheme
to flout.They are safe,safe

Did you really invested
your thousand pounds,Pancks?

To be sure,I only wish it was ten

Stop relenting

All that about Mr Doyce's invention

Yes

Keep on writing

Keep on writing

What a lot of forms you have come to?

Nobody wants to know of it,eh?

Nobody

And solicitor's fees? And agent's fees?
And registration fees adding up

Never got any nearer to an end

Never

I do my best

As for these enterprises you
talk about,I'm not fit for it

I'm growing old

Growing old?

Hear him

Old?

Bring me back,Sir,to the investments

Make money,Sir

Be as rich as you honestly can,Sir

It's your duty

Not for your sake,but
for the sake of others

Poor Mr Doyce

All his life's work depends on you

You don't know what depends upon you

I don't know

That's enough for tonight

One word more than enough

Why should you leave all the
gains to the gluttons,knaves,impostors?

To my proprietor and the like of him?

Three or four I say,go in

And win,win,win

Around,around,around..

Two and a half

Fifteen

Time does she go round and round

Is there any left?

-Sir,have you got, Cavourne Inn shares?
-Yes

Do you have several income bonds?

Place your bets,ladies and gentlemen,
shillings to a pound

Watch the play a she goes round,and round

Oh,yes the bet

Only yesterday

I'd the intention of selling the
whole wretched lot of shares

And making an end of it

I've heard many people say that,Mr Clennam

Say what you want

I persuaded you to it

You can't say more than I deserve

Instead of thanks what do I deserve

Better luck

I betrayed Doyce

An honest and indefatigable
old man I've felt so much for

Meant to be so true and useful to

-Reproach me,Sir
-Betrayed him and his work

Reproach me,Sir, I'll do myself an injury

Say,you fool,you villain,you beast

Why did you do it?

Say something abusive to me,Sir

Say that swine,Merdle..

If only you hadn't made that
accursed calculations

Not been to bed,Sir,since
it began to get about

Been high and low

And the chance of finding
some hope of saving anything

All in vain,all gone

Yes I know

Is it impossible to tide over the present?

It's impossible

All night I've been thinking
of what I must do

That is clear my partner's reputation

I must resign to our creditors the
power of management I have so much abused

-I must..
-Have legal help

What? Oh,yes,perhaps I had better

Have Rugg

Yes,he will do as well,oh Pancks
what have I done

I'll fetch Rugg

I am sorry to perceive Sir

that you have been allowing
your feelings to be worked upon

There can be no getting
on in our profession

with feelings being worked upon,Sir

If the money I have lost
had my all my own money

Mr Rugg,I should have cared far less

Indeed,Sir,you surprise me

I have certainly found,in my experience

that is their own money,
people are most particular about

I have seen people get rid a
great deal of other people's money

and wear it very well,very well indeed

You see there are several engagements
that must be met this week

Perhaps our creditors would
be indulgent and understand

Bond of Dodgson and Bond

Mr Bond what can I do for you?

My client Mr Snorley vent to let know

Yes Mr Bond..

Chancellor and Samson beg to stake

Brown Blind Murray liability

Mr Pancks these people now must
be told that it was me,and only me,

I fear our difficulties may
come to a crisis soon

Any writ,yet?

One little one,Major Palace Jurisdiction

Listen,Mr Rugg,it cannot be over
too soon let them arrest me at once

They’ll come for you soon
enough,Mr Clennam,I don't doubt

But Mr Clennam let it not be only
the mere Palace Jurisdiction,I beg you

A sure professional advisor I should prefer

you should be taken on a fully grown writ

from on of the superior
courts,it looks better

Mr Rugg,my only wish is
that it should be over soon

About that legal bill of mine

-Name?
-Parker

This gentleman will attend to your

You see I go on with that fair
little bill of mine,waiting so long.

Also you are taking on a little
one you will go to Marshalsea

Now you know the Marshalsea,
very close,excessively confined

Whereas in the King's Bench

I'd rather go to the Marshalsea

than to any other prison

Little Dorrit

Your things is coming,Mr Clennam,
and my son is going to carry them up

Thank you,Mr Chivery

We thought you liked this
room better than any other

Thank you,Mr Chivery

Mr Clennam,don't you take any
notice of my son,if you'll be so good

In case you find him
cut up anyway,difficult

My son has an heart and my
son's heart is in the right place

Me and his mother knows where to find it

And we find it situated correct

Anything I can do for you,Sir?

No

Thank you

-Here is your box
-Very kind of you

It's a shame that you should have..

I don't know if I can

No

I find I can't

Why are you angry with me?

If you weren't under a cloud,which you are

and if it wasn't against all
the rules of the Marshalsea

which it is,I might have
it out with you now

I beg you pardon

Say no more

I'm not worth it

If it is not a liberty,I shall bring a tray

Try a little something green

You are very kind but I really can't

I wonder if it is not worth
your while to take care of yourself

for your own sake

It's not worth doing it for some one else

Truly I don't know for whose sake I

Mr Clennam I am surprised,
Sir,really intrigued,I'm astonished

Really?

I had it conquered,Sir

And resolved to think no more about it

But when I saw you
this morning in the lodge

such mingled streams of feelings
broke lose within me

But I was going round and round in a vortex

I got out of it

Struggled

And I got out of it

And now after all you dodge me
and throw me back upon myself of..

But,what do you mean,John?

Isn't gentlemanly to throw a
person back upon himself

After he struggled

and strived out himself,like a butterfly

It's all very well to trample on it

But it is there

Maybe that it couldn't be trampled on,
if it wasn't there,but it is there

I don't understand,I don't want to
offend you,but I don't understand

Sir,will you have the perfidy to deny

that you know what I
felt towards Miss Dorrit

Call it not the presumption of love
but adoration and sacrifice

I will not have any
perfidy if I can help it,but

John,did Miss Dorrit
return your affections?

Miss Dorrit never did,Sir

It's a scorn to pretend for
a moment that she ever did

She was far above me

In all respects

At all times

I don't understand you

Mr Clennam

Do you mean you don't know

Know what?

Lord,he says what!

He says what and he means it

Do you see this window,Sir?

Yes,of course

The wall,the yard,they
all been witness to it

day after day,night after
night,month after month

Witness of what?

Of Miss Dorrit's love

For whom?

You

Will you appeal Mr Clennam?

-The writ
-I will

I will

Good Night

It's nobody's fault,it's business

I am a man of business

My business is to squeeze

I'm paid to squeeze,I'm squeezed to pay

Paid to squeeze,squeezed to pay,
pay to squeeze,squeezed to pay

Paid to squeeze,squeezed to pay,
paid to squeeze,squeezed to pay

Why leave all the gains to
the gluttons,knaves,impostors

Little Dorrit

Little Dorrit

Little Dorrit

Little Dorrit

Dorrit?
