'My station, Mas'r Davy, he returned, 'ain't there no longer; and if ever a boat foundered, since there was darkness on the face of the deep, that one's gone down. But no, sir, no; I doen't mean as it should be deserted. Fur from that.
He was thought to have gone, but he was hiding. Doen't stay, Mas'r Davy, doen't! I felt Peggotty's arm round my neck, but I could not have moved if the house had been about to fall upon me. 'A strange chay and hosses was outside town, this morning, on the Norwich road, a'most afore the day broke, Ham went on. 'The servant went to it, and come from it, and went to it again.
Peggotty, 'and I know'd his merits, so I unnerstan' her; but 'tan't entirely so, you see, with others nat'rally can't be! My aunt and I both acquiesced. 'Wheerby, said Mr. Peggotty, 'my sister might I doen't say she would, but might find Missis Gummidge give her a leetle trouble now-and-again. Peggotty, 'I means to make her a 'lowance afore I go, as'll leave her pretty comfort'ble.
As the door closed, little Em'ly looked at us three in a hurried manner and then hid her face in her hands, and fell to sobbing. 'Doen't, Em'ly! said Ham, tapping her gently on the shoulder. 'Doen't, my dear! You doen't ought to cry so, pretty! 'Oh, Ham! she exclaimed, still weeping pitifully, 'I am not so good a girl as I ought to be!
'For sartin I never seed a ghost, but it looked like enough this time. Now, do tell what brought you so far from hum? Thirteen mile, if it's a rod. You ain't lookin' partic'ler spry, anyhow. Now, Arthur, doen't, poor lad, doen't.
Peggotty still talking to her. 'Now, I'm a going upstairs to tell your aunt as Mas'r Davy's here, and that'll cheer her up a bit, he said. 'Sit ye down by the fire, the while, my dear, and warm those mortal cold hands. You doen't need to be so fearsome, and take on so much. What? You'll go along with me? Well! come along with me come!
She done her dooty by the departed, and the departed know'd it; and the departed done what was right by her, as she done what was right by the departed; and and and it's all right! Mrs. Gummidge groaned. 'Cheer up, my pritty mawther! said Mr. Peggotty. Cheer up, for your own self, on'y a little bit, and see if a good deal more doen't come nat'ral! 'Not to me, Dan'l, returned Mrs. Gummidge.
There ain't a child in Yarmouth that doen't know him. He gathered up the letters thoughtfully, smoothing them with his hand; put them into their little bundle; and placed it tenderly in his breast again. The face was gone from the door. I still saw the snow drifting in; but nothing else was there.
Peggotty thrust forth his face; and never could I forget the change that came upon it when he saw us, if I were to live five hundred years. I remember a great wail and cry, and the women hanging about him, and we all standing in the room; I with a paper in my hand, which Ham had given me; Mr. 'Read it, sir, he said, in a low shivering voice. 'Slow, please. I doen't know as I can understand.
In another world, if I am forgiven, I may wake a child and come to you. All thanks and blessings. Farewell, evermore. This, blotted with tears, was the letter. 'May I tell her as you doen't see no hurt in't, and as you'll be so kind as take charge on't, Mas'r Davy? said Mr. Peggotty, when I had read it. 'Unquestionably, said I 'but I am thinking 'Yes, Mas'r Davy?
