I knew that my father's aunt, Betsey Trotwood, lived somewhere near Dover, so I decided to look for her.
I had to walk there and the journey took six long days. When I got to Dover, I asked a few people and they told me where (go).
When Miss Betsey saw me, she shouted: Go away! Don't walk on my grass! "
Please, madam, I said bravely," please, Aunt Betsey…"
What! she cried, (look) at me in great surprise.
Please, Aunt Betsey, Fm your nephew David Copperfield. You came on the night I was born and saw my dear mother. My life (be) very miserable since she died. My stepfather sent me to work in London and I hated it and ran away. Then someone stole my money and I had to walk…" I felt weak and suddenly fell to the ground.
My aunt picked me up and took me into her sitting room. While I (eat), my aunt asked me a lot of questions. I was tired after the long day. Soon I fell asleep in a warm, (comfort) bed.
Several days (late) my stepfather, Mr. Murdstone arrived." David is a very bad boy, violent and lazy, maybe the (bad) boy in the world," he said (angry).
"We found him a good job in London but he ran away. Now he must (punish)!"
Aunt Betsey listened to him carefully and (reply)," I don't believe a word you say. I know you've been cruel to this boy and his poor mother. I'll look after David from now on. Now get out of here!"
