'Yes,' said I.

　　'Yes,' said I.

　　She rose with an  ill-favoured smile, and taking  a few steps towards  a wall of holly that was near at hand, dividing the lawn from a kitchen-garden, said, in a louder voice, 'Come here!' - as if she were calling to some unclean beast.

　　'You will restrain any demonstrative championship or vengeance in this place, of course, Mr. Copperfield?'  said she, looking  over her shoulder  at me with  the same expression.

　　I inclined my head, without knowing  what she meant; and she said,  'Come here!' again;  and  returned,  followed  by the  respectable  Mr.  Littimer,  who, with undiminished respectability, made me a bow, and took up his position behind her. The air of  wicked grace: of  triumph, in which,  strange to say,  there was yet something feminine and alluring: with  which she reclined upon the  seat between us, and looked at me, was worthy of a cruel Princess in a Legend.

　　'Now,' said  she, imperiously,  without glancing  at him,  and touching  the old wound as it throbbed: perhaps, in this instance, with pleasure rather than pain. 'Tell Mr. Copperfield about the flight.'

　　'Mr. James and myself, ma'am -'

　　'Don't address yourself to me!' she interrupted with a frown.

　　'Mr. James and myself, sir -'

　　'Nor to me, if you please,' said I.

　　Mr. Littimer, without being at all discomposed, signified by a slight obeisance, that anything that was most agreeable to us was most agreeable to him; and began again.

　　'Mr. James and myself have been abroad with the young woman, ever since she left Yarmouth under Mr. james's protection.  We have been in a variety of places, and seen a deal of foreign country.  We have been in France, Switzerland, Italy,  in fact, almost all parts.'
