Digging for joy ...

That boy digs for joy said Peggotty -

I saw her on the screen -

There they were, above the silver headed great and the good of the gentle town -

Mr Dicks, with his wordy kite above the summer meadow -

Mr Murdstone with his cruel big hands -

The cringing Heep -

Steerforth, asking to be remembered at his best -

Micawber, dining alfresco in the rookery -

Every meal a picnic -

David, digging for joy -

He found it too, that boy -
