There comes to me a vision of our home, Blunderstone Rookery, with its ground-floor kitchen, and long passage leading from it to the front door. A dark store-room opens out of the kitchen, and in it there is the smell of soap, pickles, pepper, candles, and coffee, all at one whiff. Then there are the two parlours;--the one in which we sit of an evening, my mother and I and Peggotty, --for Peggotty is quite our companion, --and the best parlour where we sit on a Sunday; grandly, but not so comfortably, while my mother reads the old familiar Bible stories to us.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
