again of her own free will; and took the child to her capacious
breast。
'Will Fern!' said Trotty; pulling on his right…hand muffler。 'Not
the friend you was hoping to find?'
'Ay!' returned Will; putting a hand on each of Trotty's shoulders。
'And like to prove a'most as good a friend; if that can be; as one
I found。'
'O!' said Trotty。 'Please to play up there。 Will you have the
goodness!'
To the music of the band; and; the bells; the marrow…bones and
cleavers; all at once; and while the Chimes were yet in lusty
operation out of doors; Trotty; making Meg and Richard; second
couple; led off Mrs。 Chickenstalker down the dance; and danced it
in a step unknown before or since; founded on his own peculiar
trot。
Had Trotty dreamed? Or; are his joys and sorrows; and the actors
in them; but a dream; himself a dream; the teller of this tale a
dreamer; waking but now? If it be so; O listener; dear to him in
all his visions; try to bear in mind the stern realities from which
these shadows come; and in your sphere … none is too wide; and none
too limited for such an end … endeavour to correct; improve; and
soften them。 So may the New Year be a happy one to you; happy to
many more whose happiness depends on you! So may each year be
happier than the last; and not the meanest of our brethren or
sisterhood debarred their rightful share; in what our Great Creator
formed them to enjoy。
End
