Barkis, always leaning forward, in his slouching way, on the footboard of the cart with an arm on each knee. 'Peggotty, do you mean, sir? 'Ah! said Mr. Barkis. 'Her. 'Yes. She makes all our pastry, and does all our cooking. 'Do she though? said Mr. Barkis. He made up his mouth as if to whistle, but he didn't whistle.
THERE'S a babby for you, in the form of a Sea Porkypine! Right for all that, said Mr. Peggotty, stopping in his roar, and smiting his hands together; 'fur here she is! It was only Ham. The night should have turned more wet since I came in, for he had a large sou'wester hat on, slouched over his face. 'Wheer's Em'ly? said Mr. Peggotty. Ham made a motion with his head, as if she were outside. Mr.
I thank Him hearty for having guided of me, in His own ways, to my darling! With those words he took her up in his arms; and, with the veiled face lying on his bosom, and addressed towards his own, carried her, motionless and unconscious, down the stairs. Peggotty desired to speak with me.
'Fur she's more dear to me now, Martha, than she was dear afore. She put her hands before her face; but otherwise remained quiet. 'I have heerd her tell, said Mr. Peggotty, 'as you was early left fatherless and motherless, with no friend fur to take, in a rough seafaring-way, their place.
She knows I'm a going to tell, here his delight broke out again, 'and has made off. Would you be so good as look arter her, Mawther, for a minute? Mrs. Gummidge nodded and disappeared. 'If this ain't, said Mr. Peggotty, sitting down among us by the fire, 'the brightest night o' my life, I'm a shellfish biled too and more I can't say.
I hid my tears in the bedclothes, and pressed her from me with my hand, when she would have raised me up. 'This is your doing, Peggotty, you cruel thing! said my mother. 'I have no doubt at all about it. How can you reconcile it to your conscience, I wonder, to prejudice my own boy against me, or against anybody who is dear to me? What do you mean by it, Peggotty?
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!
'Yes, Peggotty? 'I have tried, my dear, all ways I could think of all the ways there are, and all the ways there ain't, in short to get a suitable service here, in Blunderstone; but there's no such a thing, my love. 'And what do you mean to do, Peggotty, says I, wistfully. 'Do you mean to go and seek your fortune?
Then there are the two parlours; the one in which we sit of an evening, my mother and I and Peggotty, for Peggotty is quite our companion, and the best parlour where we sit on a Sunday; grandly, but not so comfortably, while my mother reads the old familiar Bible stories to us.
She looked at him hastily, and for the first time, as if she were doubtful of what he had said. 'Will you trust me? she asked, in a low voice of astonishment. 'Full and free! said Mr. Peggotty. 'To speak to her, if I should ever find her; shelter her, if I have any shelter to divide with her; and then, without her knowledge, come to you, and bring you to her? she asked hurriedly.
