'It was a vain threat.' ¡¡¡¡We drove away, out of town, to the churchyard at Hornsey. 'Better here than in the streets,' said my aunt. 'He was born here.' ¡¡¡¡We alighted; and followed the plain coffin to a corner I remember well, where the service was read consigning it to the dust. ¡¡¡¡'Six-and-thirty years ago, this day, my dear,' said my aunt, as we walked back to the chariot, 'I was married. God forgive us all!' We took our seats in silence; and so she sat beside me for a long time, holding my hand. At length she suddenly burst into tears, and said:
¡¡¡¡'He was a fine-looking man when I married him, Trot - and he was sadly changed!' ¡¡¡¡It did not last long. After the relief of tears, she soon became composed, and even cheerful. Her nerves were a little shaken, she said, or she would not have given way to it. God forgive us all! ¡¡¡¡So we rode back to her little cottage at Highgate, where we found the following short note, which had arrived by that morning's post from Mr. Micawber: ¡¡¡¡ 'Canterbury,

We passed the night at the old house, which, freed from the presence of the Heeps, seemed purged of a disease; and I lay in my old room, like a shipwrecked wanderer come home. ¡¡¡¡We went back next day to my
as of old, before going to bed, she said: ¡¡¡¡'Trot, do you really wish to know what I have had upon my mind lately?' ¡¡¡¡'Indeed I do, aunt. If there ever was a time when I felt unwilling that you should have a sorrow or anxiety which I could not share, it is now.' ¡¡¡¡'You have had sorrow enough, child,' said my aunt, affectionately, 'without the addition of my little miseries. I could have no other motive, Trot, in keeping anything from you.'

¡¡¡¡'I know that well,' said I. 'But tell me now.' ¡¡¡¡'Would you ride with me a little way tomorrow morning?' asked my aunt. ¡¡¡¡'Of course.' ¡¡¡¡'At nine,' said she. 'I'll tell you then, my dear.' ¡¡¡¡At nine, accordingly, we went out in a little chariot, and drove to London. We drove a long way through the streets, until we came to one of the large hospitals.

'He is gone!' ¡¡¡¡'Did he die in the hospital?' ¡¡¡¡'Yes.' ¡¡¡¡She sat immovable beside me; but, again I saw the stray tears on her face. ¡¡¡¡'He was there once before,' said my aunt presently.

Jip would bark and caper round us, and go on before, and look back on the landing, breathing short, to see that we were coming. My aunt, the best and most cheerful of nurses, would trudge after us, a moving mass of shawls and pillows. Mr. Dick would not have relinquished his post of candle-bearer to anyone alive.
