You want to stay here with your old uncle？

You want to stay here with your old uncle？ And as he turned to go，he gave me his hand， and smiled in his old friendly extensions way．That is how I like to remember him，now that I shall never touch his hand again，or see him smile．

When I arrived in Yarmouth，I went straight to Barkis's house．In the sitting－room I found Daniel，Ham and Emily．Ham was standing by the door，while Emily was sobbing in Daniel's arms．None of them seemed surprised to see me．

‘Emily's very young，Master David，’explained Daniel．‘It's hard for her to accept death．That's why she's crying．Now cheer up，Emily my dear，Ham has come to take you home．what's that？’He bent his grey head down to hear her whispered reply．‘You want to stay here with your old uncle？But you should go with Ham—he'll be your husband soon！’
