Little Dorrit Book 1 Chapter 36

In which we witness the long-anticipated liberation of the Dorrit family from the confines of the Marshalsea, marked by solemn preparations and poignant farewells among the inmates and staff who have known them well. Yet, amidst the grandeur and gravity of their departure, a simple, tender moment unfolds as the youngest Dorrit, overcome and forgotten, is gently carried to the carriage by a kindly friend, reminding us of the enduring ties that reach beyond mere circumstance.
