'I should think that, wherever I saw you, replied Steerforth. 'Go along, you dog, do! cried the little creature, making a whisk at him with the handkerchief with which she was wiping her face, 'and don't be impudent!

'I should not have done so, if I had been cool. Here Steerforth struck in. 'Then he said I was mean, and then he said I was base, and then I called him a beggar.
We thought this intention very noble in Steerforth, whose mother was a widow, and rich, and would do almost anything, it was said, that he asked her.
He found my placard in his way when he came up or down behind the form on which I sat, and wanted to make a cut at me in passing; for this reason it was soon taken off, and I saw it no more. An accidental circumstance cemented the intimacy between Steerforth and me, in a manner that inspired me with great pride and satisfaction, though it sometimes led to inconvenience.

'Why, you see we wasn't aware, sir, returned the waiter, still apologetically, 'as Mr. Copperfield was anyways particular. We can give Mr. Copperfield seventy-two, sir, if it would be preferred. Next you, sir.
'I don't give myself the trouble of thinking at all about you, said Steerforth, coolly; 'so I'm not mistaken, as it happens. 'And when you make use of your position of favouritism here, sir, pursued Mr. Mell, with his lip trembling very much, 'to insult a gentleman 'A what? where is he? said Steerforth.

'As to understanding him, you are a cleverer fellow than most of us, Daisy, if you can do that. 'That's true, indeed, said I, moving my chair to the table. 'So you have been at Yarmouth, Steerforth! interested to know all about it. 'Have you been there long? 'No, he returned. 'An escapade of a week or so. 'And how are they all? Of course, little Emily is not married yet? 'Not yet.
