Excerpt from The Personal History of David Copperfield, Vol. 2 I got down to Yarmouth in the evening, and went to the inn. I knew that Peggotty's spare room - my room - was likely to have occupation enough in a little while, if that great Visitor, before whose presence all the living must give place, were not already in the house; so I betook myself to the inn, and dined there, and engaged my bed. It was ten o'clock when I went out. Many of the shops were shut, and the town was dull. When I came to Omer and Joram's, I found the shutters up, but the shop door standing open. As I could obtain a perspective view of Mr. Omer inside, smoking his pipe by the parlour-door, I entered, and asked him how he was. "Why, bless my life and soul!" said Mr. Omer, "how do you find yourself? Take a seat. - Smoke not disagreeable, I hope?" "By no means," said I. "I like it - in somebody else's pipe." "What, not in your own, eh?" About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
