Little Dorrit Book 1 Chapter 19

In which we follow the contrasting figures of the Dorrit brothers, the dignified and the broken, as they navigate the melancholy confines of the Marshalsea prison grounds on a Sunday evening, their distinct demeanours drawing the quiet attention of the college visitors. We witness a poignant scene of a devoted daughter tending to her disheartened father, whose weary reflections and tender self-reproach illuminate the heavy toll of years spent in captivity.
