Special Correspondence of The Star
LONDON, April %, 1913;
A sweet old lady who claimed to be the
original of Dickens Little Dorrit, Mrs.
Mary Ann Cooper. has died at Southgate
at the great age of ninety-nine. Mrs
Cooper was a playmate of the novelist in
his childhood, and he gave her the
sobriquet OF Little Dorrit long before
the name was mmortalized in fiction.
Dickens had fondness for nicknamins
his associates and he used to call Mrs.
Cooper's brother Dan Tobin.'
Mary Ann Mittin, as Mrs. Cooper was
then, was a four ycar-old when she first
met Dickens. She shared his boyhood
pranks-bird nesting, egg stealing, rab-
bit hunting-and was always ready to
Join in any expedition of adventure. She
recalled how Dickens would persuade her
to miss Sunday afternoon service at ST.
Pancreas Church in order to explore the
places of interest in the city. promising
her some alluring treat in the way of a
visit to the tower. fun with the beadles
or romps in the parks.
