‘
My
dear
,
’
said
Mr
.
Micawber
,
leading
her
towards
me
,
‘
here
is
a
gentleman
of
the
name
of
Copperfield
,
who
wishes
to
renew
his
acquaintance
with
you
.
’
It
would
have
been
better
,
as
it
turned
out
,
to
have
led
gently
up
to
this
announcement
,
for
Mrs
.
Micawber
,
being
in
a
delicate
state
of
health
,
was
overcome
by
it
,
and
was
taken
so
unwell
,
that
Mr
.
Micawber
was
obliged
,
in
great
trepidation
,
to
run
down
to
the
water
-
butt
in
the
backyard
,
and
draw
a
basinful
to
lave
her
brow
with
.
She
presently
revived
,
however
,
and
was
really
pleased
to
see
me
.
We
had
half
-
an
-
hour
’
s
talk
,
all
together
;
and
I
asked
her
about
the
twins
,
who
,
she
said
,
were
‘
grown
great
creatures
’
;
and
after
Master
and
Miss
Micawber
,
whom
she
described
as
‘
absolute
giants
’
,
but
they
were
not
produced
on
that
occasion
.
Mr
.
Micawber
was
very
anxious
that
I
should
stay
to
dinner
.
I
should
not
have
been
averse
to
do
so
,
but
that
I
imagined
I
detected
trouble
,
and
calculation
relative
to
the
extent
of
the
cold
meat
,
in
Mrs
.
Micawber
’
s
eye
.
I
therefore
pleaded
another
engagement
;
and
observing
that
Mrs
.
Micawber
’
s
spirits
were
immediately
lightened
,
I
resisted
all
persuasion
to
forego
it
.
But
I
told
Traddles
,
and
Mr
.
and
Mrs
.
Micawber
,
that
before
I
could
think
of
leaving
,
they
must
appoint
a
day
when
they
would
come
and
dine
with
me
.
The
occupations
to
which
Traddles
stood
pledged
,
rendered
it
necessary
to
fix
a
somewhat
distant
one
;
but
an
appointment
was
made
for
the
purpose
,
that
suited
us
all
,
and
then
I
took
my
leave
.
Mr
.
Micawber
,
under
pretence
of
showing
me
a
nearer
way
than
that
by
which
I
had
come
,
accompanied
me
to
the
corner
of
the
street
;
being
anxious
(
he
explained
to
me
)
to
say
a
few
words
to
an
old
friend
,
in
confidence
.
‘
My
dear
Copperfield
,
’
said
Mr
.
Micawber
,
‘
I
need
hardly
tell
you
that
to
have
beneath
our
roof
,
under
existing
circumstances
,
a
mind
like
that
which
gleams
—
if
I
may
be
allowed
the
expression
—
which
gleams
—
in
your
friend
Traddles
,
is
an
unspeakable
comfort
.
With
a
washerwoman
,
who
exposes
hard
-
bake
for
sale
in
her
parlour
-
window
,
dwelling
next
door
,
and
a
Bow
-
street
officer
residing
over
the
way
,
you
may
imagine
that
his
society
is
a
source
of
consolation
to
myself
and
to
Mrs
.
Micawber
.
I
am
at
present
,
my
dear
Copperfield
,
engaged
in
the
sale
of
corn
upon
commission
.
It
is
not
an
avocation
of
a
remunerative
description
—
in
other
words
,
it
does
not
pay
—
and
some
temporary
embarrassments
of
a
pecuniary
nature
have
been
the
consequence
.
I
am
,
however
,
delighted
to
add
that
I
have
now
an
immediate
prospect
of
something
turning
up
(
I
am
not
at
liberty
to
say
in
what
direction
)
,
which
I
trust
will
enable
me
to
provide
,
permanently
,
both
for
myself
and
for
your
friend
Traddles
,
in
whom
I
have
an
unaffected
interest
You
may
,
perhaps
,
be
prepared
to
hear
that
Mrs
.
Micawber
is
in
a
state
of
health
which
renders
it
not
wholly
improbable
that
an
addition
may
be
ultimately
made
to
those
pledges
of
affection
which
—
in
short
,
to
the
infantine
group
.
Mrs
.
Micawber
’
s
family
have
been
so
good
as
to
express
their
dissatisfaction
at
this
state
of
things
.
I
have
merely
to
observe
,
that
I
am
not
aware
that
it
is
any
business
of
theirs
,
and
that
I
repel
that
exhibition
of
feeling
with
scorn
,
and
with
defiance
!
’
Mr
.
Micawber
then
shook
hands
with
me
again
,
and
left
me
.
Until
the
day
arrived
on
which
I
was
to
entertain
my
newly
-
found
old
friends
,
I
lived
principally
on
Dora
and
coffee
.
In
my
love
-
lorn
condition
,
my
appetite
languished
;
and
I
was
glad
of
it
,
for
I
felt
as
though
it
would
have
been
an
act
of
perfidy
towards
Dora
to
have
a
natural
relish
for
my
dinner
.
The
quantity
of
walking
exercise
I
took
,
was
not
in
this
respect
attended
with
its
usual
consequence
,
as
the
disappointment
counteracted
the
fresh
air
.
I
have
my
doubts
,
too
,
founded
on
the
acute
experience
acquired
at
this
period
of
my
life
,
whether
a
sound
enjoyment
of
animal
food
can
develop
itself
freely
in
any
human
subject
who
is
always
in
torment
from
tight
boots
.
I
think
the
extremities
require
to
be
at
peace
before
the
stomach
will
conduct
itself
with
vigour
.
