Our Mutual Friend Book 2 Chapter 2 - Still Educational

In which we find ourselves in the modest and somewhat melancholy abode of Miss Jenny Wren, the doll’s dressmaker, where a playful yet earnest conversation about pride, duty, and the hard realities of life unfolds between her, her friend Lizzie, and the gentleman Eugene Wrayburn. The evening is shadowed by the presence of an unfortunate figure, whose pitiable state reveals much about the bitter struggles and compassion interwoven in their shared existence.
