'My mistress?' she said. 'What do you want with her, boy?' ¡¡¡¡'I want,' I replied, 'to speak to her, if you please.' ¡¡¡¡'To beg of her, you mean,' retorted the damsel. ¡¡¡¡'No,' I said, 'indeed.' But suddenly remembering that in truth I came for no other purpose, I held my peace in confusion, and felt my face burn. ¡¡¡¡MY aunt's handmaid, as I supposed she was from what she had said, put her rice in a little basket and walked out of the shop; telling me that I could follow her,

I followed the young woman, and we soon came to a very neat little cottage with cheerful bow-windows: in front of it, a small square gravelled court or garden full of flowers, carefully tended, and smelling deliciously.

Mother and Child him to restore it, came back with the information that it was intended for Peggotty. After that occasion he appeared every evening at exactly the same hour, and always with a little bundle, to which he never alluded, and which he regularly put behind the door and left there. These offerings of affection were of a most various and eccentric description. Among them I remember a double set of pigs' trotters, a huge pin-cushion, half a bushel or so of apples, a pair of jet earrings,
oil painting some Spanish onions, a box of dominoes, a canary bird and cage, and a leg of pickled pork. ¡¡¡¡Mr. Barkis's wooing, as I remember it, was altogether of a peculiar kind. He very seldom said anything; but would sit by the fire in much the same attitude as he sat in his cart, and stare heavily at Peggotty, who was opposite. One night, being, as I suppose, inspired by love, he made a dart at the bit of wax-candle she kept for her thread, and put it in his waistcoat-pocket and carried it off. After that, his great delight was to produce it when it was wanted, sticking to the lining of his pocket, in

Poor Sorrow's campaign against sin, the world, and the devil was doomed to be of limited brilliancy - luckily perhaps for himself, considering his beginnings. In the blue of the morning that fragile soldier and servant breathed his last, and when the other children awoke they cried bitterly, and begged Sissy to have another pretty baby. ¡¡¡¡The calmness which had possessed Tess since the christening remained with her in the infant's loss. In the daylight, indeed, she felt her terrors about his soul to have been somewhat exaggerated; whether well founded or not she had no uneasiness now, reasoning that if Providence would not ratify such an act of approximation she, for one, did not value the kind of heaven lost by the irregularity - either for herself or for her child. ¡¡¡¡So passed away Sorrow the Undesired - that intrusive creature, that bastard gift of shameless Nature who respects not the social law; a waif to whom eternal Time had been a matter of days merely, who knew not that such things as years and centuries ever were; to whom the cottage interior was the universe, the week's weather climate, new-born babyhood human existence, and the instinct to suck human knowledge.

shopkeeper was sure to try and cheat you. Still, telephones were useful fordomestic matters. She occasionally, though rarely, telephoned her friends or relations inthe near neighbourhood. To make a call of any distance, or a London call, upset herseverely. It was a shameful waste of money. Nevertheless, she began to meditate facingthat problem.
　　Finally, when yet another day dawned without anynews of him she decided to act. She knew where the Canon was staying in London. Bertram'sHotel. A nice old-fashioned place. It might be as well, perhaps, if she rang up and madecertain inquiries. They would probably know where the Canon was. It was not an ordinaryhotel. She would ask to be put through to Miss Gorringe. Miss Gorringe was alwaysefficient and thoughtful. The Canon might, of course, return by the twelve-thirty. If sohe would be here any minute now.

Chewbacca rushed over to the pit with the tools. Han grabbed the spanners,then paused and looked at his faithful Wookiee friend. "I don't know how we're going to get out of this one," he confided. Just then a resounding thump hit the Falcon's side, making the ship pitch andturn radically. Chewbacca barked anxiously. Han braced himself at the impact, the hydrospanners flew from his hand. Whenhe managed to regain his balance, he shouted at Chewbacca over the noise, "That wasno laser blast! Something hit us!" "Han…Han…" Princess Leia called to him from the cockpit. She was frantic."Get up here!" Like a shot, he lurched out of the hold and raced back to the cockpit withChewbacca. They were stunned by what they saw through the windows. "Asteroids!" Enormous chunks of flying rock hurtled through space as far as they could see.As if those damn Imperial pursuit ships weren't trouble enough! Han instantly returned to his pilot's seat, once more taking over the Falcon'scontrols. His copilot settled himself back into his own seat just as a particularlylarge asteroid sped by the prow of the ship.

"You see, you can do it," Kenobi told him. "One can teach only so much.Now you must learn to admit the force when you want it, so that you can learn tocontrol it consciously." Moving to one side, Kenobi took a large helmet from behind a locker and walkedover to Luke. Placing the helmet over his head effectively eliminated the boy'svision. "I can't see," Luke muttered, turning around and forcing Kenobi to step back outof range of the dangerously wavering saber. "How can I fight?" "With the force," old Ben explained. "You didn't really 'see' the seeker whenyou parried its beam. Try to let that sensation flow within you again." "I can't do it," Luke moaned. "I'll get hit again." "Not if you let yourself trust you," Kenobi insisted, none too convincingly forLuke. "This is the only way to be certain you're replying wholly on the force." Noticing that the Corellian had turned to watch, Kenobi hesitated momentarily.It did Luke no good to have the self-assured pilot laugh every time a mistake wasmade. But coddling the boy would do him no good either, and there was no time forit anyway. Throw him in and hope he floats, Ben instructed himself firmly. Bending over the chrome globe, he touched a control at its side. Then he tossedit straight up. It arched toward Luke. Braking in midfall, the ball plummetedstone-like toward the deck. Luke swung the saber at it. While it was acommendable try, it wasn't nearly fast enough. Once again the little antenna glowed.This time the crimson needle hit Luke square on the seat of his pants. Though itwasn't an incapacitating below, it felt like one; and Luke let out a yelp of pain as hespun, trying to strike his invisible tormentor. "Relax!" old Ben urged him. "Be free. You're trying to use your eyes andears. Stop predicting and use the rest of your mind." Suddenly the youth stopped, waving slightly. The seeker was still behind him.Changing direction again, it made another dive and fired.
