Generally
,
but
not
always
.
Sometimes
brighter
visions
rise
before
me
.
When
I
dress
(
the
occupation
of
two
hours
)
,
for
a
great
ball
given
at
the
Larkins
’
s
(
the
anticipation
of
three
weeks
)
,
I
indulge
my
fancy
with
pleasing
images
.
I
picture
myself
taking
courage
to
make
a
declaration
to
Miss
Larkins
.
I
picture
Miss
Larkins
sinking
her
head
upon
my
shoulder
,
and
saying
,
‘
Oh
,
Mr
.
Copperfield
,
can
I
believe
my
ears
!
’
I
picture
Mr
.
Larkins
waiting
on
me
next
morning
,
and
saying
,
‘
My
dear
Copperfield
,
my
daughter
has
told
me
all
.
Youth
is
no
objection
.
Here
are
twenty
thousand
pounds
.
Be
happy
!
’
I
picture
my
aunt
relenting
,
and
blessing
us
;
and
Mr
.
Dick
and
Doctor
Strong
being
present
at
the
marriage
ceremony
.
I
am
a
sensible
fellow
,
I
believe
—
I
believe
,
on
looking
back
,
I
mean
—
and
modest
I
am
sure
;
but
all
this
goes
on
notwithstanding
.
I
repair
to
the
enchanted
house
,
where
there
are
lights
,
chattering
,
music
,
flowers
,
officers
(
I
am
sorry
to
see
)
,
and
the
eldest
Miss
Larkins
,
a
blaze
of
beauty
.
She
is
dressed
in
blue
,
with
blue
flowers
in
her
hair
—
forget
-
me
-
nots
—
as
if
SHE
had
any
need
to
wear
forget
-
me
-
nots
.
It
is
the
first
really
grown
-
up
party
that
I
have
ever
been
invited
to
,
and
I
am
a
little
uncomfortable
;
for
I
appear
not
to
belong
to
anybody
,
and
nobody
appears
to
have
anything
to
say
to
me
,
except
Mr
.
Larkins
,
who
asks
me
how
my
schoolfellows
are
,
which
he
needn
’
t
do
,
as
I
have
not
come
there
to
be
insulted
.
But
after
I
have
stood
in
the
doorway
for
some
time
,
and
feasted
my
eyes
upon
the
goddess
of
my
heart
,
she
approaches
me
—
she
,
the
eldest
Miss
Larkins
!
—
and
asks
me
pleasantly
,
if
I
dance
?

I
stammer
,
with
a
bow
,
‘
With
you
,
Miss
Larkins
.
’
‘
With
no
one
else
?
’
inquires
Miss
Larkins
.
‘
I
should
have
no
pleasure
in
dancing
with
anyone
else
.
’

Miss
Larkins
laughs
and
blushes
(
or
I
think
she
blushes
)
,
and
says
,
‘
Next
time
but
one
,
I
shall
be
very
glad
.
’
The
time
arrives
.
‘
It
is
a
waltz
,
I
think
,
’
Miss
Larkins
doubtfully
observes
,
when
I
present
myself
.
‘
Do
you
waltz
?
If
not
,
Captain
Bailey
—
—
’
But
I
do
waltz
(
pretty
well
,
too
,
as
it
happens
)
,
and
I
take
Miss
Larkins
out
.
I
take
her
sternly
from
the
side
of
Captain
Bailey
.
He
is
wretched
,
I
have
no
doubt
;
but
he
is
nothing
to
me
.
I
have
been
wretched
,
too
.
I
waltz
with
the
eldest
Miss
Larkins
!
I
don
’
t
know
where
,
among
whom
,
or
how
long
.
I
only
know
that
I
swim
about
in
space
,
with
a
blue
angel
,
in
a
state
of
blissful
delirium
,
until
I
find
myself
alone
with
her
in
a
little
room
,
resting
on
a
sofa
.
She
admires
a
flower
(
pink
camellia
japonica
,
price
half
-
a
-
crown
)
,
in
my
button
-
hole
.
I
give
it
her
,
and
say
:
