Peggotty, said I, taking the chair he handed me, 'don't expect much! I have heard some news. 'Of Em'ly! He put his hand, in a nervous manner, on his mouth, and turned pale, as he fixed his eyes on mine. 'It gives no clue to where she is; but she is not with him. He sat down, looking intently at me, and listened in profound silence to all I had to tell.
Sperrit stuck to Bobby 'n' didn't pay no attention to Gran'ma Mullins. Well then Mrs. Brown took Henry Ward Beecher, 'n' Mrs. Kimball took Billy 'cause he's in the store anyhow, 'n' Mrs. Maxwell took 'Liza Em'ly to rip, 'n' Mrs. Fisher took John Bunyan for weeds. 'N' then Mrs. Macy just pounced on the last girl for her trundle-bed, 'n' Mrs.
Sperrit drove in to see her sister she jus' took Roxana home with her. She says Roxana 'll be happy with Bobby on the farm, 'n' it's easy to be seen as Mrs. Maxwell is envyin' Mrs. Macy, for she says 't it's as plain 's the nose on the outside o' your face 't 'Liza Em'ly 's nothin' to rip." Miss Clegg ceased speech to rock and fan for a minute or two. "Did you see " asked Mrs. Lathrop.
In the foreground our hardy heroes fill the screen, and dripping with sea-water become wave-beaten granite, yet living creatures none the less. Imagine some one chapter from the story of Little Em'ly in David Copperfield, retold in the films. Show us Ham Peggotty and old Mr. Peggotty in colloquy over their nets.
We stopped under the lee of the lobster-outhouse to exchange an innocent kiss, and went in to breakfast glowing with health and pleasure. 'Like two young mavishes, Mr. Peggotty said. I knew this meant, in our local dialect, like two young thrushes, and received it as a compliment. Of course I was in love with little Em'ly.
Peggotty's family there, perhaps even with little Em'ly herself. The coach was in the yard, shining very much all over, but without any horses to it as yet; and it looked in that state as if nothing was more unlikely than its ever going to London. I was thinking this, and wondering what would ultimately become of my box, which Mr. 'Yes, ma'am, I said. 'What name? inquired the lady.
I recollect, as the wind and water began to sound fainter in my ears, putting a short clause into my prayers, petitioning that I might grow up to marry little Em'ly, and so dropping lovingly asleep. The days passed pretty much as they had passed before, except it was a great exception that little Em'ly and I seldom wandered on the beach now.
Peggotty, cheerily.'Theer we are, Missis Gummidge! Mrs. Gummidge slightly groaned. 'Lighted up, accordin' to custom! You're a wonderin' what that's fur, sir! Well, it's fur our little Em'ly. You see, the path ain't over light or cheerful arter dark; and when I'm here at the hour as she's a comin' home, I puts the light in the winder. That, you see, said Mr.
I fancied, from the disposition of her figure, that Em'ly had but newly risen from the chair, and that the forlorn head might perhaps have been lying on her lap. I saw but little of the girl's face, over which her hair fell loose and scattered, as if she had been disordering it with her own hands; but I saw that she was young, and of a fair complexion. Peggotty had been crying.
'Mas'r Davy, he said, when we had shaken hands, 'I giv Em'ly your letter, sir, and she writ this heer; and begged of me fur to ask you to read it, and if you see no hurt in't, to be so kind as take charge on't. 'Have you read it? said I. He nodded sorrowfully. I opened it, and read as follows: 'I have got your message. Oh, what can I write, to thank you for your good and blessed kindness to me!
