“You young dog,” said the man, licking his lips, “what fat cheeks you ha’ got.”
I believe they were fat, though I was at that time small for my years, and not strong.
“I could eat ’em,” said the man, with a threatening shake of his head, “and I’ve half a mind to!”
I earnestly expressed my hope that he wouldn’t, and held tighter to the tombstone on which he had put me; partly, to keep myself upon it; partly, to keep myself from crying.
“Now lookee here!” said the man. “Where’s your mother?” “There, sir!”, said I.
He jumped, made a short run, and stopped and looked over his shoulder.
“There, sir!”, I timidly explained. “Also Georgiana. That’s my mother.”
“Oh!” said he, coming back. “And is that your father alongside your mother?”
“Yes, sir,” said I; “him too; late6 of this parish7.”
“Ha!” he muttered then, considering. “Who d’ye live with - supposin’ I kindly let you live, which I han’t made up my mind about?”
“My sister, sir - Mrs Joe Gargery - wife of Joe Gargery, the blacksmith8, sir.”
“Blacksmith, eh?”, said he. And looked down at his leg.
After darkly looking at his leg and me several times, he came closer to my tombstone, took me by both arms, and me back as far as he could hold me; so that his eyes looked most powerfully down into mine, and mine looked most helplessly up into his. “Now lookee here,” he said, “the question being whether I let you live. You know what a file is?”
“Yes, sir.”
“And you know what wittles9 is?”
“Yes, sir.”
After each question he tilted me over a little more, so as to give me a greater sense of helplessness and danger.
“You get me a file.” He tilted me again. “And you get me wittles.” He tilted me again. “You bring ’em both to me,” He tilted me again.
“Or I’ll have your heart and liver out.” He tilted me again.
