Little Dorrit – Charles Dickens, 1855-1857:
Book 1 – Chapter 9 – Little Mother
Plornish lived in Bleeding Heart Yard. He was ‘only a plasterer,’ Little Dorrit said, as a caution to him not to form high social expectations of Plornish.
[The plasterer in the photo above won’t be found in Bleeding Heart Yard but in the RIBA (Royal Institute of British Architects) building on Portland Place. R.D.]
