I
am
free
to
confess
that
I
have
not
been
actively
engaged
in
pursuits
immediately
connected
with
cultivation
or
with
stock
,
though
well
aware
that
both
will
claim
my
attention
on
a
foreign
shore
.
Such
opportunities
as
I
have
been
enabled
to
alienate
from
my
domestic
duties
,
I
have
devoted
to
corresponding
at
some
length
with
my
family
.
For
I
own
it
seems
to
me
,
my
dear
Mr
.
Copperfield
,
’
said
Mrs
.
Micawber
,
who
always
fell
back
on
me
,
I
suppose
from
old
habit
,
to
whomsoever
else
she
might
address
her
discourse
at
starting
,
‘
that
the
time
is
come
when
the
past
should
be
buried
in
oblivion
;
when
my
family
should
take
Mr
.
Micawber
by
the
hand
,
and
Mr
.
Micawber
should
take
my
family
by
the
hand
;
when
the
lion
should
lie
down
with
the
lamb
,
and
my
family
be
on
terms
with
Mr
.
Micawber
.
’
I
said
I
thought
so
too
.
‘
This
,
at
least
,
is
the
light
,
my
dear
Mr
.
Copperfield
,
’
pursued
Mrs
.
Micawber
,
‘
in
which
I
view
the
subject
.
When
I
lived
at
home
with
my
papa
and
mama
,
my
papa
was
accustomed
to
ask
,
when
any
point
was
under
discussion
in
our
limited
circle
,
“
In
what
light
does
my
Emma
view
the
subject
?
”
That
my
papa
was
too
partial
,
I
know
;
still
,
on
such
a
point
as
the
frigid
coldness
which
has
ever
subsisted
between
Mr
.
Micawber
and
my
family
,
I
necessarily
have
formed
an
opinion
,
delusive
though
it
may
be
.
’
‘
No
doubt
.
Of
course
you
have
,
ma
’
am
,
’
said
my
aunt
.
‘
Precisely
so
,
’
assented
Mrs
.
Micawber
.
‘
Now
,
I
may
be
wrong
in
my
conclusions
;
it
is
very
likely
that
I
am
,
but
my
individual
impression
is
,
that
the
gulf
between
my
family
and
Mr
.
Micawber
may
be
traced
to
an
apprehension
,
on
the
part
of
my
family
,
that
Mr
.
Micawber
would
require
pecuniary
accommodation
.
I
cannot
help
thinking
,
’
said
Mrs
.
Micawber
,
with
an
air
of
deep
sagacity
,
‘
that
there
are
members
of
my
family
who
have
been
apprehensive
that
Mr
.
Micawber
would
solicit
them
for
their
names
.
—
I
do
not
mean
to
be
conferred
in
Baptism
upon
our
children
,
but
to
be
inscribed
on
Bills
of
Exchange
,
and
negotiated
in
the
Money
Market
.
’
The
look
of
penetration
with
which
Mrs
.
Micawber
announced
this
discovery
,
as
if
no
one
had
ever
thought
of
it
before
,
seemed
rather
to
astonish
my
aunt
;
who
abruptly
replied
,
‘
Well
,
ma
’
am
,
upon
the
whole
,
I
shouldn
’
t
wonder
if
you
were
right
!
’
‘
Mr
.
Micawber
being
now
on
the
eve
of
casting
off
the
pecuniary
shackles
that
have
so
long
enthralled
him
,
’
said
Mrs
.
Micawber
,
‘
and
of
commencing
a
new
career
in
a
country
where
there
is
sufficient
range
for
his
abilities
,
—
which
,
in
my
opinion
,
is
exceedingly
important
;
Mr
.
Micawber
’
s
abilities
peculiarly
requiring
space
,
—
it
seems
to
me
that
my
family
should
signalize
the
occasion
by
coming
forward
.
What
I
could
wish
to
see
,
would
be
a
meeting
between
Mr
.
Micawber
and
my
family
at
a
festive
entertainment
,
to
be
given
at
my
family
’
s
expense
;
where
Mr
.
Micawber
’
s
health
and
prosperity
being
proposed
,
by
some
leading
member
of
my
family
,
Mr
.
Micawber
might
have
an
opportunity
of
developing
his
views
.
’
‘
My
dear
,
’
said
Mr
.
Micawber
,
with
some
heat
,
‘
it
may
be
better
for
me
to
state
distinctly
,
at
once
,
that
if
I
were
to
develop
my
views
to
that
assembled
group
,
they
would
possibly
be
found
of
an
offensive
nature
:
my
impression
being
that
your
family
are
,
in
the
aggregate
,
impertinent
Snobs
;
and
,
in
detail
,
unmitigated
Ruffians
.
