She walked among 'em with my child, minding only her; and brought her safe out, in the dead of the night, from that black pit of ruin! 'She attended on Em'ly, said Mr. Peggotty, who had released my hand, and put his own hand on his heaving chest; 'she attended to my Em'ly, lying wearied out, and wandering betwixt whiles, till late next day.
"Hope we hain't come over to see more dyin', Miss Em'ly. 'Pears like its gettin' pooty lonesome round yere," and as our friends seated themselves, the old clock tolled the hour of seven. Little Emily was asleep in Louis' lap, and her cousin Hal curled himself up in one corner of the old sofa, as if he, too, felt the presence of the god of sleep.
This here little Em'ly, sir, in a low voice to Steerforth, her as you see a blushing here just now Steerforth only nodded; but with such a pleased expression of interest, and of participation in Mr. Peggotty's feelings, that the latter answered him as if he had spoken. 'To be sure, said Mr. Peggotty. 'That's her, and so she is. Thankee, sir.
As Em'ly wishes of it, and as she's hurried and frightened, like, besides, I'll leave her till morning. Let me stay too! 'No, no, said Mr. Peggotty. 'You doen't ought a married man like you or what's as good to take and hull away a day's work. And you doen't ought to watch and work both. That won't do. You go home and turn in. You ain't afeerd of Em'ly not being took good care on, I know.
You leave Greevy alone, Buck, and tell Em'ly for me I wouldn't let you kill her father." "You Sinnet you, you done it! Why, he'd have fought for you. You done it to him to Clint!" Now that the blood-feud had been satisfied, a great change came over the mountaineer. He had done his work, and the thirst for vengeance was gone.
"She didn't look very well, and she didn't eat much breakfast, either," said Grandmother Atkins. "She was always crazy after hot pancakes, too," said her mother. "Hadn't you better call her back, Em'ly?" "No, I won't," said Mrs. Pease, turning away from the window. "She's begun to go to school, and I'm not going to take her out unless I'm sure she ain't able to go."
Her emaciated face was paler than usual because of the pain of the dressing, but from the frail form there breathed an indomitable air of life, a gay courage indeed which had already struck Marcella with wonder. "Well, yer not to take 'em to heart, Em'ly. It ull be when it will be for the Lord likes us to pray, but He'll take his own time an' she's got troubles enough of her own, Nurse.
'Well, sir, if you can make out here, fur a fortnut, 'long wi' her, nodding at his sister, 'and Ham, and little Em'ly, we shall be proud of your company. Having done the honours of his house in this hospitable manner, Mr.
Unfriendly to Gothic, he lifted both hands to his nose, and declared that old Em'ly was buried there. He lay in the mud. His horse trotted back towards Amesbury, Stephen had twisted him out of the saddle. "I've done him!" he yelled, though no one was there to hear. He rose up in his stirrups and shouted with joy. He flung his arms round Aeneas's neck.
Peggotty took the light from the window, trimmed it, put it on the table, and was busily stirring the fire, when Ham, who had not moved, said: 'Mas'r Davy, will you come out a minute, and see what Em'ly and me has got to show you? We went out. As I passed him at the door, I saw, to my astonishment and fright, that he was deadly pale.
