They took a lodging in the house where I lived, for a week; at the expiration of which time they were to start for Plymouth.

Mr.Micawber himself came down to the counting-house, in the afternoon, to tell Mr.Quinion that he must relinquish me on the day of his departure, and to give me a high character, which I am sure I deserved.

And Mr.Quinion, calling in Tipp the carman, who was a married man, and had a room to let, quartered me prospectively on him--by our mutual consent, as he had every reason to think; for I said nothing, though my resolution was now taken.
I passed my evenings with Mr.and Mrs.Micawber, during the remaining term of our residence under the same roof; and I think we became fonder of one another as the time went on.

On the last Sunday, they invited me to dinner; and we had a loin of pork and apple sauce, and a pudding.

I had bought a spotted wooden horse over-night as a parting gift to little Wilkins Micawber--that was the boy--and a doll for little Emma.
