Little Dorrit Book 1 Chapter 27

In which we wander through the tangled emotions and uneasy suspicions that envelop Mr Clennam as he contemplates Mr Pancks’s mysterious inquiries into the Dorrit family, while the passionate and proud Tattycoram, torn by grievances, flees from the home that once sheltered her. Amidst the shadowy streets of London, an incongruous visit to the resolute Miss Wade reveals a bitter kinship and the fierce defiance of a young spirit unbowed by the world’s harshness.
