But morning brought with it my parting from the old house, which
Agnes had filled with her influence; and that occupied my mind
sufficiently. I should be there again soon, no doubt; I might sleep
again - perhaps often - in my old room; but the days of my inhabiting
there were gone, and the old time was past. I was heavier buy anabolics steroids online at heart when
I packed up such of my books and clothes as still remained there to be
sent to Dover, than I cared to show to Uriah Heep; who was so officious
to help me, that I uncharitably thought him mighty glad that I was
going.
I got away from Agnes and her father, somehow, with an indifferent
show of being very manly, and took my seat upon the box of the London
coach. I was so softened and forgiving, going through the town, that I
had half a mind to nod to my old enemy the butcher, and throw him five
shillings to drink. But he looked such a very obdurate butcher as he
stood scraping the great block in the shop, and moreover, his appearance
was so little improved by the loss of a front tooth which I had knocked
out, that I thought it best to make no advances.
