In
fact
,
my
dear
Copperfield
,
I
have
entered
into
arrangements
,
by
virtue
of
which
I
stand
pledged
and
contracted
to
our
friend
Heep
,
to
assist
and
serve
him
in
the
capacity
of
—
and
to
be
—
his
confidential
clerk
.
’
I
stared
at
Mr
.
Micawber
,
who
greatly
enjoyed
my
surprise
.
‘
I
am
bound
to
state
to
you
,
’
he
said
,
with
an
official
air
,
‘
that
the
business
habits
,
and
the
prudent
suggestions
,
of
Mrs
.
Micawber
,
have
in
a
great
measure
conduced
to
this
result
.
The
gauntlet
,
to
which
Mrs
.
Micawber
referred
upon
a
former
occasion
,
being
thrown
down
in
the
form
of
an
advertisement
,
was
taken
up
by
my
friend
Heep
,
and
led
to
a
mutual
recognition
.
Of
my
friend
Heep
,
’
said
Mr
.
Micawber
,
‘
who
is
a
man
of
remarkable
shrewdness
,
I
desire
to
speak
with
all
possible
respect
.
My
friend
Heep
has
not
fixed
the
positive
remuneration
at
too
high
a
figure
,
but
he
has
made
a
great
deal
,
in
the
way
of
extrication
from
the
pressure
of
pecuniary
difficulties
,
contingent
on
the
value
of
my
services
;
and
on
the
value
of
those
services
I
pin
my
faith
.
Such
address
and
intelligence
as
I
chance
to
possess
,
’
said
Mr
.
Micawber
,
boastfully
disparaging
himself
,
with
the
old
genteel
air
,
‘
will
be
devoted
to
my
friend
Heep
’
s
service
.
I
have
already
some
acquaintance
with
the
law
—
as
a
defendant
on
civil
process
—
and
I
shall
immediately
apply
myself
to
the
Commentaries
of
one
of
the
most
eminent
and
remarkable
of
our
English
jurists
.
I
believe
it
is
unnecessary
to
add
that
I
allude
to
Mr
.
justice
Blackstone
.
’
These
observations
,
and
indeed
the
greater
part
of
the
observations
made
that
evening
,
were
interrupted
by
Mrs
.
Micawber
’
s
discovering
that
Master
Micawber
was
sitting
on
his
boots
,
or
holding
his
head
on
with
both
arms
as
if
he
felt
it
loose
,
or
accidentally
kicking
Traddles
under
the
table
,
or
shuffling
his
feet
over
one
another
,
or
producing
them
at
distances
from
himself
apparently
outrageous
to
nature
,
or
lying
sideways
with
his
hair
among
the
wine
-
glasses
,
or
developing
his
restlessness
of
limb
in
some
other
form
incompatible
with
the
general
interests
of
society
;
and
by
Master
Micawber
’
s
receiving
those
discoveries
in
a
resentful
spirit
.
I
sat
all
the
while
,
amazed
by
Mr
.
Micawber
’
s
disclosure
,
and
wondering
what
it
meant
;
until
Mrs
.
Micawber
resumed
the
thread
of
the
discourse
,
and
claimed
my
attention
.
‘
What
I
particularly
request
Mr
.
Micawber
to
be
careful
of
,
is
,
’
said
Mrs
.
Micawber
,
‘
that
he
does
not
,
my
dear
Mr
.
Copperfield
,
in
applying
himself
to
this
subordinate
branch
of
the
law
,
place
it
out
of
his
power
to
rise
,
ultimately
,
to
the
top
of
the
tree
.
I
am
convinced
that
Mr
.
Micawber
,
giving
his
mind
to
a
profession
so
adapted
to
his
fertile
resources
,
and
his
flow
of
language
,
must
distinguish
himself
.
Now
,
for
example
,
Mr
.
Traddles
,
’
said
Mrs
.
Micawber
,
assuming
a
profound
air
,
‘
a
judge
,
or
even
say
a
Chancellor
.
Does
an
individual
place
himself
beyond
the
pale
of
those
preferments
by
entering
on
such
an
office
as
Mr
.
Micawber
has
accepted
?
’
‘
My
dear
,
’
observed
Mr
.
Micawber
—
but
glancing
inquisitively
at
Traddles
,
too
;
‘
we
have
time
enough
before
us
,
for
the
consideration
of
those
questions
.
’
‘
Micawber
,
’
she
returned
,
‘
no
!
Your
mistake
in
life
is
,
that
you
do
not
look
forward
far
enough
.
You
are
bound
,
in
justice
to
your
family
,
if
not
to
yourself
,
to
take
in
at
a
comprehensive
glance
the
extremest
point
in
the
horizon
to
which
your
abilities
may
lead
you
.
’
Mr
.
Micawber
coughed
,
and
drank
his
punch
with
an
air
of
exceeding
satisfaction
—
still
glancing
at
Traddles
,
as
if
he
desired
to
have
his
opinion
.
