David Copperfield

CHAPTER 22
39/52

Good-bye, Mr.Copperfield! Take care of yourself, jockey of Norfolk! How I have been rattling on! It's all the fault of you two wretches.

I forgive you! "Bob swore!"-- as the Englishman said for "Good night", when he first learnt French, and thought it so like English.

"Bob swore," my ducks!' With the bag slung over her arm, and rattling as she waddled away, she waddled to the door, where she stopped to inquire if she should leave us a lock of her hair.

'Ain't I volatile ?' she added, as a commentary on this offer, and, with her finger on her nose, departed.
Steerforth laughed to that degree, that it was impossible for me to help laughing too; though I am not sure I should have done so, but for this inducement.

When we had had our laugh quite out, which was after some time, he told me that Miss Mowcher had quite an extensive connexion, and made herself useful to a variety of people in a variety of ways.
