Merely

Miss

Trotwood

,

’

he

returned

.

‘

I

am

here

to

take

David

back

—

to

take

him

back

unconditionally

,

to

dispose

of

him

as

I

think

proper

,

and

to

deal

with

him

as

I

think

right

.

I

am

not

here

to

make

any

promise

,

or

give

any

pledge

to

anybody

.

You

may

possibly

have

some

idea

,

Miss

Trotwood

,

of

abetting

him

in

his

running

away

,

and

in

his

complaints

to

you

.

Your

manner

,

which

I

must

say

does

not

seem

intended

to

propitiate

,

induces

me

to

think

it

possible

.

Now

I

must

caution

you

that

if

you

abet

him

once

,

you

abet

him

for

good

and

all

;

if

you

step

in

between

him

and

me

,

now

,

you

must

step

in

,

Miss

Trotwood

,

for

ever

.

I

cannot

trifle

,

or

be

trifled

with

.

I

am

here

,

for

the

first

and

last

time

,

to

take

him

away

.

Is

he

ready

to

go

?

If

he

is

not

—

and

you

tell

me

he

is

not

;

on

any

pretence

;

it

is

indifferent

to

me

what

—

my

doors

are

shut

against

him

henceforth

,

and

yours

,

I

take

it

for

granted

,

are

open

to

him

.

’

To

this

address

,

my

aunt

had

listened

with

the

closest

attention

,

sitting

perfectly

upright

,

with

her

hands

folded

on

one

knee

,

and

looking

grimly

on

the

speaker

.

When

he

had

finished

,

she

turned

her

eyes

so

as

to

command

Miss

Murdstone

,

without

otherwise

disturbing

her

attitude

,

and

said

:

‘

Well

,

ma

’

am

,

have

YOU

got

anything

to

remark

?

’

‘

Indeed

,

Miss

Trotwood

,

’

said

Miss

Murdstone

,

‘

all

that

I

could

say

has

been

so

well

said

by

my

brother

,

and

all

that

I

know

to

be

the

fact

has

been

so

plainly

stated

by

him

,

that

I

have

nothing

to

add

except

my

thanks

for

your

politeness

.

For

your

very

great

politeness

,

I

am

sure

,

’

said

Miss

Murdstone

;

with

an

irony

which

no

more

affected

my

aunt

,

than

it

discomposed

the

cannon

I

had

slept

by

at

Chatham

.

‘

And

what

does

the

boy

say

?

’

said

my

aunt

.

‘

Are

you

ready

to

go

,

David

?

’

I

answered

no

,

and

entreated

her

not

to

let

me

go

.

I

said

that

neither

Mr

.

nor

Miss

Murdstone

had

ever

liked

me

,

or

had

ever

been

kind

to

me

.

That

they

had

made

my

mama

,

who

always

loved

me

dearly

,

unhappy

about

me

,

and

that

I

knew

it

well

,

and

that

Peggotty

knew

it

.

I

said

that

I

had

been

more

miserable

than

I

thought

anybody

could

believe

,

who

only

knew

how

young

I

was

.

And

I

begged

and

prayed

my

aunt

—

I

forget

in

what

terms

now

,

but

I

remember

that

they

affected

me

very

much

then

—

to

befriend

and

protect

me

,

for

my

father

’

s

sake

.

‘

Mr

.

Dick

,

’

said

my

aunt

,

‘

what

shall

I

do

with

this

child

?

’

Mr

.

Dick

considered

,

hesitated

,

brightened

,

and

rejoined

,

‘

Have

him

measured

for

a

suit

of

clothes

directly

.
