Little
Dorrit
,
still
habitually
thoughtful
and
solitary
though
no
longer
alone
,
at
first
supposed
this
to
be
mere
Prunes
and
Prism
But
as
her
father
when
they
had
been
to
a
brilliant
reception
at
Mrs
Merdle
’
s
,
harped
at
their
own
family
breakfast
-
table
on
his
wish
to
know
Mr
Merdle
,
with
the
contingent
view
of
benefiting
by
the
advice
of
that
wonderful
man
in
the
disposal
of
his
fortune
,
she
began
to
think
it
had
a
real
meaning
,
and
to
entertain
a
curiosity
on
her
own
part
to
see
the
shining
light
of
the
time
.
While
the
waters
of
Venice
and
the
ruins
of
Rome
were
sunning
themselves
for
the
pleasure
of
the
Dorrit
family
,
and
were
daily
being
sketched
out
of
all
earthly
proportion
,
lineament
,
and
likeness
,
by
travelling
pencils
innumerable
,
the
firm
of
Doyce
and
Clennam
hammered
away
in
Bleeding
Heart
Yard
,
and
the
vigorous
clink
of
iron
upon
iron
was
heard
there
through
the
working
hours
.
The
younger
partner
had
,
by
this
time
,
brought
the
business
into
sound
trim
;
and
the
elder
,
left
free
to
follow
his
own
ingenious
devices
,
had
done
much
to
enhance
the
character
of
the
factory
.
As
an
ingenious
man
,
he
had
necessarily
to
encounter
every
discouragement
that
the
ruling
powers
for
a
length
of
time
had
been
able
by
any
means
to
put
in
the
way
of
this
class
of
culprits
;
but
that
was
only
reasonable
self
-
defence
in
the
powers
,
since
How
to
do
it
must
obviously
be
regarded
as
the
natural
and
mortal
enemy
of
How
not
to
do
it
.
In
this
was
to
be
found
the
basis
of
the
wise
system
,
by
tooth
and
nail
upheld
by
the
Circumlocution
Office
,
of
warning
every
ingenious
British
subject
to
be
ingenious
at
his
peril
:
of
harassing
him
,
obstructing
him
,
inviting
robbers
(
by
making
his
remedy
uncertain
,
and
expensive
)
to
plunder
him
,
and
at
the
best
of
confiscating
his
property
after
a
short
term
of
enjoyment
,
as
though
invention
were
on
a
par
with
felony
.
The
system
had
uniformly
found
great
favour
with
the
Barnacles
,
and
that
was
only
reasonable
,
too
;
for
one
who
worthily
invents
must
be
in
earnest
,
and
the
Barnacles
abhorred
and
dreaded
nothing
half
so
much
.
That
again
was
very
reasonable
;
since
in
a
country
suffering
under
the
affliction
of
a
great
amount
of
earnestness
,
there
might
,
in
an
exceeding
short
space
of
time
,
be
not
a
single
Barnacle
left
sticking
to
a
post
.
Daniel
Doyce
faced
his
condition
with
its
pains
and
penalties
attached
to
it
,
and
soberly
worked
on
for
the
work
’
s
sake
.
Clennam
cheering
him
with
a
hearty
co
-
operation
,
was
a
moral
support
to
him
,
besides
doing
good
service
in
his
business
relation
.
The
concern
prospered
,
and
the
partners
were
fast
friends
.
But
Daniel
could
not
forget
the
old
design
of
so
many
years
.
It
was
not
in
reason
to
be
expected
that
he
should
;
if
he
could
have
lightly
forgotten
it
,
he
could
never
have
conceived
it
,
or
had
the
patience
and
perseverance
to
work
it
out
.
So
Clennam
thought
,
when
he
sometimes
observed
him
of
an
evening
looking
over
the
models
and
drawings
,
and
consoling
himself
by
muttering
with
a
sigh
as
he
put
them
away
again
,
that
the
thing
was
as
true
as
it
ever
was
.
To
show
no
sympathy
with
so
much
endeavour
,
and
so
much
disappointment
,
would
have
been
to
fail
in
what
Clennam
regarded
as
among
the
implied
obligations
of
his
partnership
.
A
revival
of
the
passing
interest
in
the
subject
which
had
been
by
chance
awakened
at
the
door
of
the
Circumlocution
Office
,
originated
in
this
feeling
.
He
asked
his
partner
to
explain
the
invention
to
him
;
‘
having
a
lenient
consideration
,
’
he
stipulated
,
‘
for
my
being
no
workman
,
Doyce
.
’
‘
No
workman
?
’
said
Doyce
.
‘
You
would
have
been
a
thorough
workman
if
you
had
given
yourself
to
it
.
You
have
as
good
a
head
for
understanding
such
things
as
I
have
met
with
.
’
