So I collected my box of clothes from my lodging house and set out to take the coach. Outside the house I saw a tall young man with a cart and he agreed to help me carry the box to the coach for six pence. Unfortunately as soon as he put my box onto his cart, he quickly grabbed the money from my hand and ran off with my box on his cart. I shouted and ran after him as fast as I could until he was out of sight. Then I sat down in despair. My only hope now was to walk all the way to my aunts home. When I arrived there a week later my clothes were all in rags. My shoes were muddy and so worn that you could see my toes. My hat was crushed, my shirt and trousers dirty and torn and I had not combed my hair since I left London. From head to toe I was covered in dust from the road. Nevertheless, I knocked on the door of Aunt Betsys house. A man with grey hair came to the window, winked one eye in a naughty way, nodded his head several times, laughed and went away. Then out came my aunt Betsy wearing a pair of gardening gloves and carrying a large knife in her hand. “Go away! No boys here,” she cried. I watched as she began to dig a hole in the garden. “If you please, maam,” I said softly. She started and looked up. “If you please, aunt.” “Ehe” she cried out in a tone of amazement. “If you please, aunt, I am your nephew.”“Oh Lord!” said my aunt and suddenly sat down flat on the garden path. “Im David Copperfield. You came to see my mother the night I was born. Ive been very unhappy since she died. Ive been taught nothing and left to look after myself and put to work not fit for me. I was robbed of my money and Ive walked all this way to find you.” Then I burst into tears. My aunt sat on the ground staring at me. She got up in a great hurry and took me into the kitchen. She covered a chair and sat me down on it. “Mercy me!” was all she said. At this point the gentleman I had seen at the window came in laughing. “Now Mr Dick, ” said my aunt. “You remember Ive talked of David Copperfield.” “YesDavid Copperfield,” repeated the man. “Well, this is his son, David. Hes run away to me. What shall do with him?”“Why, if I was you ” said Mr Dick considering. “I should ” and he looked at me sharply, “wash him.”“Janet,” said my aunt calling her maid. “Did you hear Mr Dick? Heat the bath.” And thus I was accepted into my aunts home. Suggested answers to Exercise 1：1 Answers may vary. 2 Charles Dickens wrote the novel in 18491850 as a serial in a magazine.
