The Old Curiosity Shop

CHAPTER 19
6/16

As long as you travel with us, keep as near me as you can.

Don't offer to leave us--not on any account--but always stick to me and say that I'm your friend.

Will you bear that in mind, my dear, and always say that it was me that was your friend ?' 'Say so where--and when ?' inquired the child innocently.
'O, nowhere in particular,' replied Codlin, a little put out as it seemed by the question; 'I'm only anxious that you should think me so, and do me justice.

You can't think what an interest I have in you.
Why didn't you tell me your little history--that about you and the poor old gentleman?
I'm the best adviser that ever was, and so interested in you--so much more interested than Short.

I think they're breaking up down stairs; you needn't tell Short, you know, that we've had this little talk together.
