'Don't he go over to Blunderstone now?' I asked. ¡¡¡¡'When he's well he do,' she answered. ¡¡¡¡'Do YOU ever go there, Mrs. Barkis?' ¡¡¡¡She looked at me more attentively, and I noticed a quick movement of her hands towards each other. ¡¡¡¡'Because I want to ask a question about a house there, that they call the - what is it? - the Rookery,' said I. ¡¡¡¡She took a step backward, and put out her hands in an undecided frightened way, as if to keep me off. ¡¡¡¡'Peggotty!' I cried to her. ¡¡¡¡She cried, 'My darling boy!' and we both burst into tears, and were locked in one another's arms. ¡¡¡¡What extravagances she committed;
oil paintingwhat laughing and crying over me; what pride she showed, what joy, what sorrow that she whose pride and joy I might have been, could never hold me in a fond embrace; I have not the heart to tell. I was troubled with no misgiving that it was young in me to respond to her emotions. I had never laughed and cried in all my life, I dare say - not even to her - more freely than I did that morning. ¡¡¡¡'Barkis will be so glad,' said Peggotty, wiping her eyes with her apron, 'that it'll do him more good than pints of liniment. May I go and tell him you are here? Will you come up and see him, my dear?'
