Dickory Dock

The narrative follows two siblings and their mongrel terrier as they adopt responsibility for a small orphan infant lodged in their family's crowded boarding-house; living in a cramped attic nursery, they shield the baby from nosy lodgers while juggling household duties and the parents' financial anxieties. Episodes combine domestic comedy and small-scale adventure as the children improvise care, confront neighbors' suspicions, and learn practical compassion. Scenes alternate between tender moments with the child and lively mischief, exploring themes of sibling solidarity, resourcefulness, and moral lessons of childhood within a late-Victorian urban household.
