TEST 3

David Copperfield by Charles Dickens

To begin the story of my life with the beginning of my life, I must record that I was born on a Friday, at twelve o’clock at night. I have been informed that the clock began to strike, and I began to cry, at exactly the same moment of time.

My father had been dead six months when I opened my eyes on the world. There is something strange to me in the reflection that he never saw me; and something stranger yet in my first memories of his white gravestone in the churchyard, and the pity I used to feel for him lying out there in the cold and the dark, when our little house was warm and bright, and the doors were locked against him.

Our only relative was Miss Betsey Trotwood; a quick-tempered and difficult person, who was an aunt of my father’s. My father had once been a favourite of hers, but she was annoyed by his marriage, on the grounds that my mother, whom she had never seen, was a “wax doll”. However, she came to visit my mother just before I was born, and announced her intention of helping to bring up my father’s child—if it was a girl! When she heard that I had arrived, she put on her hat, walked out, and never came back any more. The first clear picture I have, as I look back, is of my mother with her pretty hair and youthful shape; and of Peggotty, my nurse, with no shape at all, and cheeks and arms so hard and red that I wondered the birds didn’t peck them in preference to apples.
