My dear kind Steerforth, how can I tell you what I think of your generosity? 'Tush! he answered, turning red. 'The less said, the better. 'Didn't I know? cried I, 'didn't I say that there was not a joy, or sorrow, or any emotion of such honest hearts that was indifferent to you? 'Aye, aye, he answered, 'you told me all that. There let it rest. We have said enough!
Afraid of offending him by pursuing the subject when he made so light of it, I only pursued it in my thoughts as we went on at even a quicker pace than before. 'She must be newly rigged, said Steerforth, 'and I shall leave Littimer behind to see it done, that I may know she is quite complete. Did I tell you Littimer had come down? 'No.
Mell had taken me to see; and I was always afraid that Steerforth would let it out, and twit him with it. We little thought, any one of us, I dare say, when I ate my breakfast that first morning, and went to sleep under the shadow of the peacock's feathers to the sound of the flute, what consequences would come of the introduction into those alms-houses of my insignificant person.
'Well then, cried Miss Mowcher, I'll consent to live. Now, ducky, ducky, ducky, come to Mrs. Bond and be killed. This was an invocation to Steerforth to place himself under her hands; who, accordingly, sat himself down, with his back to the table, and his laughing face towards me, and submitted his head to her inspection, evidently for no other purpose than our entertainment.
Gummidge's, for they were again at their usual flow, and he was full of vivacious conversation as we went along. 'And so, he said, gaily, 'we abandon this buccaneer life tomorrow, do we? 'So we agreed, I returned. 'And our places by the coach are taken, you know. 'Ay! there's no help for it, I suppose, said Steerforth.
In a word, we departed to the regret and admiration of all concerned, and left a great many people very sorry behind US. Do you stay long here, Littimer? said I, as he stood waiting to see the coach start. 'No, sir, he replied; 'probably not very long, sir. 'He can hardly say, just now, observed Steerforth, carelessly. 'He knows what he has to do, and he'll do it.
When Peggotty spoke of what she called my room, and of its being ready for me at night, and of her hoping I would occupy it, before I could so much as look at Steerforth, hesitating, he was possessed of the whole case. 'Of course, he said. 'You'll sleep here, while we stay, and I shall sleep at the hotel.
I only ask you, Trotwood, if you ever think of me I mean, with a quiet smile, for I was going to interrupt her, and she knew why, 'as often as you think of me to think of what I have said. Do you forgive me for all this? 'I will forgive you, Agnes, I replied, 'when you come to do Steerforth justice, and to like him as well as I do. 'Not until then? said Agnes.
Her tone and look implied something that was not agreeable to me in connexion with the subject. So I said, in a graver manner than any of us had yet assumed: 'She is as virtuous as she is pretty. She is engaged to be married to a most worthy and deserving man in her own station of life. I esteem her for her good sense, as much as I admire her for her good looks. 'Well said! cried Steerforth.
A quick glance of her eye towards the spot where Steerforth was walking, with his mother leaning on his arm, showed me whom she meant; but beyond that, I was quite lost. And I looked so, I have no doubt. 'Don't it I don't say that it does, mind I want to know don't it rather engross him?
