David Copperfield by Charles Dickens
"Yes, and again, as we walk home, I note some neighbours looking at my mother and at me, and whispering.
Again, as the three go on arm-in-arm, and I linger behind alone, I follow some of those looks, and wonder if my mother's step be really not so light as I have seen it, and if the gaiety of her beauty be really almost worried away.
Again, I wonder whether any of the neighbours call to mind, as I do, how we used to walk home together, she and I; and I wonder stupidly about that, all the dreary dismal day."

Intersting tease. For some reason I have never read this classic... but you have planted the seed in my mind and I have a feeling I will be opening the pages sometime in the future.
ReplyDeleteMy hubby would love this book!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping at my blog! I follow you now.
A classic - and yet, I've never read it either.
ReplyDeleteMy Friday 56 is here.
