Little Dorrit

     

Little Dorrit2008



Mr. Dorrit:
Mrs General and I have been in conversation about you, and we agree that you scarcely feel at home here in Venice. How is this?

Amy Dorrit:
I think I need a little time. Father.

Mrs. General:
[sighing] "Papa" is a preferable form of address. "Father" is rather vulgar. Besides, the word "papa" gives a pretty form to the lips. "Papa", "potatoes", "poultry", "prunes" and "prism" are all very good words for the lips - especially "prunes" and "prism".
