When I go a looking and looking about that theer pritty house of our Em'ly's, I'm I'm Gormed, said Mr. Peggotty, with sudden emphasis 'theer! I can't say more if I doen't feel as if the littlest things was her, a'most. I takes 'em up and I put 'em down, and I touches of 'em as delicate as if they was our Em'ly. So 'tis with her little bonnets and that.
I had on'y to think as she was found, and it was gone. I doen't know why I do so much as mention of it now, I'm sure. I didn't have it in my mind a minute ago, to say a word about myself; but it come up so nat'ral, that I yielded to it afore I was aweer. 'You are a self-denying soul, said my aunt, 'and will have your reward. Mr.
If I doen't find her, maybe she'll come to hear, sometime, as her loving uncle only ended his search for her when he ended his life; and if I know her, even that will turn her home at last! As he went out into the rigorous night, I saw the lonely figure flit away before us. I turned him hastily on some pretence, and held him in conversation until it was gone.
'Em'ly got to France, and took service to wait on travelling ladies at a inn in the port. Theer, theer come, one day, that snake. Let him never come nigh me. I doen't know what hurt I might do him! Soon as she see him, without him seeing her, all her fear and wildness returned upon her, and she fled afore the very breath he draw'd. She come to England, and was set ashore at Dover.
When I at last inquired on what his thoughts were so bent, he replied: 'On what's afore me, Mas'r Davy; and over yon. 'On the life before you, do you mean? He had pointed confusedly out to sea. 'Ay, Mas'r Davy. I doen't rightly know how 'tis, but from over yon there seemed to me to come the end of it like, looking at me as if he were waking, but with the same determined face.
'I should have thought, said I, smiling, 'that that was a reason for your being in here too, Ham. 'Well, Mas'r Davy, in a general way, so 't would be, he returned; 'but look'ee here, Mas'r Davy, lowering his voice, and speaking very gravely. 'It's a young woman, sir a young woman, that Em'ly knowed once, and doen't ought to know no more.
How long this lasted, I doen't know; but then theer come a sleep; and in that sleep, from being a many times stronger than her own self, she fell into the weakness of the littlest child. Here he stopped, as if for relief from the terrors of his own description. After being silent for a few moments, he pursued his story.
Besides which, theer's one she has in charge, Mas'r Davy, as doen't ought to be forgot. 'Poor Ham! said I. 'My good sister takes care of his house, you see, ma'am, and he takes kindly to her, Mr. Peggotty explained for my aunt's better information. 'He'll set and talk to her, with a calm spirit, wen it's like he couldn't bring himself to open his lips to another. Poor fellow! said Mr.
I an't a scholar. Would you be so kind as see how 'tis? He handed me, apologetically for his scholarship, a piece of paper, and observed me while I looked it over. It was quite right. 'Thankee, sir, he said, taking it back. 'This money, if you doen't see objections, Mas'r Davy, I shall put up jest afore I go, in a cover directed to him; and put that up in another, directed to his mother.
'I doen't know, sir, he replied. 'I have thowt of it oftentimes, but I can't awize myself of it, no matters. I recalled to his remembrance the morning after her departure, when we were all three on the beach. 'Do you recollect, said I, 'a certain wild way in which he looked out to sea, and spoke about "the end of it"? 'Sure I do! said he. 'What do you suppose he meant?
