[Illustration: THEY WERE WITHIN FIVE MINUTES OF THEIR DESTINATION, WHEN, AT THE CORNER OF HER OWN STREET, THEY CAME UPON FANNY, IN HER NEW BONNET, BOUND FOR THE SAME PORT--Book 1, chap. xxxi.] [Illustration: "DEAR LITTLE DORRIT, LET ME LAY IT DOWN." SHE YIELDED TO HIM, AND HE PUT IT ASIDE! HER HANDS WERE THEN NERVOUSLY CLASPING TOGETHER--Book 1, chap. xxxii.] [Illustration: "WHAT A GOOD FELLOW YOU ARE, CLENNAM!" EXCLAIMED THE OTHER STOPPING TO LOOK AT HIM, AS IF WITH IRREPRESSIBLE ADMIRATION. "WHAT A CAPITAL FELLOW! YOU HAVE NEVER BEEN DISAPPOINTED. THAT'S EASY TO SEE."--Book 1, chap. xxxiv.] [Illustration: WORN OUT WITH HER OWN EMOTIONS, AND YIELDING TO THE SILENCE OF THE ROOM, HER HAND SLOWLY SLACKENED AND FAILED IN ITS FANNING MOVEMENT, AND HER HEAD DROPPED DOWN ON THE PILLOW AT HER FATHER'S SIDE. CLENNAM ROSE SOFTLY, OPENED AND CLOSED THE DOOR WITHOUT A SOUND--Book 1, chap. xxxv.] [Illustration: THROUGH THESE SPECTATORS, THE LITTLE PROCESSION, HEADED BY THE TWO BROTHERS, MOVED SLOWLY TO THE GATE. MR. DORRIT, YIELDING TO THE VAST SPECULATION HOW THE POOR CREATURES WERE TO GET ON WITHOUT HIM, WAS GREAT, AND SAD, BUT NOT ABSORBED--Book 1, chap. xxxvi.] [Illustration: "PERMIT ME!" SAID THE TRAVELLER, RISING AND HOLDING THE DOOR OPEN. "GOOD REPOSE! TO THE PLEASURE OF SEEING YOU ONCE MORE! TO TO-MORROW!"

BLANDOIS, BACKED BY THE CONVENT SMOKE WHICH ROSE HIGH FROM THE CHIMNEYS IN A GOLDEN FILM, ALWAYS STANDING ON ONE JUTTING POINT LOOKING DOWN AFTER THEM--Book 2, chap. iii.] [Illustration: "IT OUGHT TO BRING A JUDGMENT ON US. BROTHER, I PROTEST AGAINST IT IN THE SIGHT OF GOD!" AS HIS HAND WENT ABOVE HIS HEAD AND CAME DOWN UPON THE TABLE, IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN A BLACKSMITH'S--Book 2, chap. v.] [Illustration: LITTLE DORRIT WAS IN FRONT, WITH HER BROTHER AND MRS. GENERAL (MR. DORRIT HAD REMAINED AT HOME). BUT ON THE BRINK OF THE QUAY, THEY ALL CAME TOGETHER. SHE STARTED AGAIN TO FIND BLANDOIS CLOSE TO HER, HANDING FANNY INTO THE BOAT--Book 2, chap. vi.] [Illustration: "GOOD-BYE, MY LOVE! GOOD-BYE!" THE LAST WORDS WERE SPOKEN ALOUD AS THE VIGILANT BLANDOIS STOPPED, TURNED HIS HEAD, AND LOOKED AT THEM FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE STAIRCASE--Book 2, chap. vii.] [Illustration: HE STOPPED AT THE CORNER, SEEMING TO LOOK BACK EXPECTANTLY UP THE STREET AS IF HE HAD MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH SOME ONE TO MEET HIM THERE; BUT HE KEPT A CAREFUL EYE ON THE THREE. WHEN THEY CAME TOGETHER, THE MAN TOOK OFF HIS HAT AND MADE MISS WADE A BOW--Book 2, chap. ix.]
