It is still of Dickens most of us will think in passing St George's Church, for was it not there that Little Dorrit was christened and married, and was it not in the vestry there she slept with the burial- book for a pillow?
They started, however, from a very different point of view, and for the present he criticised both Dickens and some of the similar denunciations contained in Carlyle's 'Past and Present, and 'Latter-day Pamphlets. The assault upon the 'Circumlocution Office' was, I doubt not, especially offensive because 'Barnacle Tite, and the effete aristocrats who are satirised in 'Little Dorrit, stood for representatives of Sir James Stephen and his best friends.
With sufficient occupation on his hands, now that he had this additional task such a task had many and many a serviceable man died of before his day Arthur Clennam led a life of slight variety. Regular visits to his mother's dull sick room, and visits scarcely less regular to Mr Meagles at Twickenham, were its only changes during many months. He sadly and sorely missed Little Dorrit.
'Might I be excused, said Mr Dorrit, 'if I inquired ha what remune 'Why, indeed, returned Mrs General, stopping the word, 'it is a subject on which I prefer to avoid entering. I have never entered on it with my friends here; and I cannot overcome the delicacy, Mr Dorrit, with which I have always regarded it. I am not, as I hope you are aware, a governess 'O dear no! said Mr Dorrit.
No one had interfered in the dispute, which was beyond the French colloquial powers of Edward Dorrit, Esquire, and scarcely within the province of the ladies.

'Also professional? said Mrs Merdle, looking at Little Dorrit through an eye-glass. Fanny answered No. 'No, said Mrs Merdle, dropping her glass. 'Has not a professional air. Very pleasant; but not professional.
And yet it is such an exquisite pleasure to me to hear you speak so feelingly, and to and to see, said Little Dorrit, raising her eyes to his, 'how deeply you mean it, that I cannot say Don't. He lifted her hand to his lips. 'You have been here many, many times, when I have not seen you, Little Dorrit? 'Yes, I have been here sometimes when I have not come into the room. 'Very often?
It did not appear altogether comfortable in expectation to Mistress Affery; but Jeremiah, without further reference to his healing medicine, took another candle from Mrs Clennam's table, and said, 'Now, sir; shall I light you down? Mr Dorrit professed himself obliged, and went down. Mr Flintwinch shut him out, and chained him out, without a moment's loss of time.
But he had spoken to her alone, and had said that people ha people in an exalted position, my dear, must scrupulously exact respect from their dependents; and that for her, his daughter, Miss Amy Dorrit, of the sole remaining branch of the Dorrits of Dorsetshire, to be known to hum to occupy herself in fulfilling the functions of ha hum a valet, would be incompatible with that respect.
