Part 2, Chapter 26, Little Dorrit.
People as ships, the entire first paragraph on the damage done by the economic collapse and literal suicide of Merdle.
His bank and many ventures rest, it seems, on forgery and fraud.
Highly expressive.
Business failures everywhere.
In the same chapter Arthur Clennam enters the Marshalsea as a prisoner for debt, having invested everything on the urging of Pancks in Merdle enterprises.
