Little Dorrit Book 1 Chapter 7

In which we are introduced to a tender and plaintive child born and bred within the narrow confines of the Marshalsea prison, whose gentle spirit and steadfast devotion sustain her family amidst their trying circumstances. We follow her innocent yet resolute endeavours to bring learning, work, and hope to her kin, all the while guarded by the kindly turnkey and watched over by the weary eyes of her incarcerated father.
