For heaven's sake tell me what's the matter?" Nothing of this: only "My love, Mas'r Davy the pride and hope of my 'art, her that I'd have died for, and would die for now she's gone!" "Gone?" "Em'ly's run away!" Yet, for all that, in spite of these omissions it can hardly by any chance have been actually by reason of them the delivery of the whole scene was singularly powerful and affecting.
'My love, Mas'r Davy the pride and hope of my art her that I'd have died for, and would die for now she's gone! 'Gone! 'Em'ly's run away! The face he turned up to the troubled sky, the quivering of his clasped hands, the agony of his figure, remain associated with the lonely waste, in my remembrance, to this hour. It is always night there, and he is the only object in the scene.
I'd put a bolt on my door an' keep Gran'ma Mullins an' her tuckin' tendencies on the other side, an' if Hiram Mullins did n't come to time I'd bolt him out, too, an' if he was n't nice about it I'd get out of the window an' go home to my father. I guess Mr. Dill would be very glad to have Lucy home again, for they say 'Liza Em'ly's no great success keepin' house for him. Some one told me as Mr.
'And yet, he added, 'Mas'r Davy, I have felt so sure as she was living I have know'd, awake and sleeping, as it was so trew that I should find her I have been so led on by it, and held up by it that I doen't believe I can have been deceived. No! Em'ly's alive! He put his hand down firmly on the table, and set his sunburnt face into a resolute expression.
But on the Sunday following my awakening I had no care for sounds outside, no eyes for my bouquets, though they stood at either hand of the pulpit; I got permission to sit in Aunt Keren's pew, where I could see Aunt Em'ly's face; and all through the sermon I studied it with big, round eyes. Yes, and with sorrow growing leaden in my heart.
'As Em'ly's eyes which was heavy see this woman better, Mr. Peggotty went on, 'she know'd as she was one of them as she had often talked to on the beach. She hadn't no children of her own, this woman, being a young wife; but she was a-looking to have one afore long. And may my prayers go up to Heaven that 'twill be a happiness to her, and a comfort, and a honour, all her life!
Omer, 'Em'ly's still a little down, and a little fluttered; perhaps, upon the whole, she's more so than she was. Every day she seems to get fonder and fonder of her uncle, and more loth to part from all of us. A kind word from me brings the tears into her eyes; and if you was to see her with my daughter Minnie's little girl, you'd never forget it. Bless my heart alive! said Mr.
They would set me down at their cottage doors, and give me what-not fur to eat and drink, and show me where to sleep; and many a woman, Mas'r Davy, as has had a daughter of about Em'ly's age, I've found a-waiting fur me, at Our Saviour's Cross outside the village, fur to do me sim'lar kindnesses. Some has had daughters as was dead. And God only knows how good them mothers was to me!
'It's like you did, Mas'r Davy. Not that I know'd then, she was theer, sir, but along of her creeping soon arterwards under Em'ly's little winder, when she see the light come, and whispering "Em'ly, Em'ly, for Christ's sake, have a woman's heart towards me. I was once like you!" Those was solemn words, Mas'r Davy, fur to hear! 'They were indeed, Ham.
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.
