Speaking of "Little Dorrit", I had THE MOST UNUSUAL DREAM about the show last night.
I dreamed that one of the characters was MBarnum and that he found himself posted to India with the Army. When he arrived, he was assigned an untouchable for a secretary. The "untouchable", as it were, was rather effete and given to leering looks when he addressed MBarnum.
There was also a young British officer with whom MBarnum was to share quarters. He was a strapping young man who seemed to like MBarnum, but it was for naught.
I awakened and wondered, "What the HELL!??!"
I know the character from "Little Dorrit" from whom the "leering" part comes...but how it turned into a gay "Passage to India" I couldn't explain.
