The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Barnaby Rudge by Charles Dickens: interruption.
'These smalls,' said Dennis, rubbing his legs; 'these very smalls--
they belonged to a friend of mine that's left off sich incumbrances
for ever: this coat too--I've often walked behind this coat, in the
street, and wondered whether it would ever come to me: this pair of
shoes have danced a hornpipe for another man, afore my eyes, full
half-a-dozen times at least: and as to my hat,' he said, taking it
off, and whirling it round upon his fist--'Lord! I've seen this hat
go up Holborn on the box of a hackney-coach--ah, many and many a
day!'
'You don't mean to say their old wearers are ALL dead, I hope?'
Barnaby Rudge |
