Well, crud. I missed my renewal notice, although I was wondering why it hadn't come up for renewal, and now it's due back because someone else has a hold on it. So I had to put a hold and will have to wait to get it back after I return it...if that makes sense. It'll be awhile. It's a long book. Apparently, there are 11 copies and only 4 holds, including mine, but if there is a hold, you cannot renew. Silly. I'll try to read a little tonight, can't turn it in now anyway.
David goes with Peggotty to stay with her brother. He is excited to see Emily, but when he does, she has changed and is coy toward David, there are questions regarding Steerforth, and it seems Emily might be interested in him. David is as enthralled with her as ever. Barkis, the cart-driver, courts Peggotty. Near the end of David's visit, it is decided that he and Emily will take a holiday with Barkis and Peggotty. On the way, they stop at a church, Barkis and Peggotty go inside leaving David and Emily behind. David makes his move on Emily, and kisses her, confesses that he will always love her. Barkis and Peggotty return and we all find out that they have gotten married. The four spend the day in each other's company before returning late to the ship-home of Mr. Peggotty. Mr and Mrs. Barkis leave them for Barkis' home. Later, when David visits, we learn that Barkis is a miser. David returns to Blunderstone.
