In chapter 22 we have the full account of David’s visit to Yarmouth in company with Steerforth. They “stayed for more than a fortnight in that part of the country,” during which time Littimer, being in attendance one evening at this hotel during dinner, informed them that Miss Mowcher was making one of her professional visits to the town, and desired an opportunity of waiting on his master. David says:— “I remained, therefore, in a state of considerable expectation until the cloth had been removed some half-an-hour, and we were sitting over our decanter of wine before the fire, when the door opened, and Littimer, with his habitual serenity quite undisturbed, announced: “‘Miss Mowcher!’ “I looked at the doorway and saw nothing. I was still looking at the doorway, thinking that Miss Mowcher was a long while making her appearance, when, to my infinite astonishment, there came waddling round a sofa which stood between me and it, a pursy dwarf, of about forty or forty-five, with a very large head and face, a pair of roguish grey eyes, and such extremely little arms, that, to enable herself to lay a finger archly against her snub nose as she ogled Steerforth, she was obliged to meet the finger half-way, and lay her nose against it. Her chin, which was what is called a double-chin, was so fat that it entirely swallowed up the strings of her bonnet, bow and all. Throat she had none; waist she had none; legs she had none, worth mentioning; for though she was more than full-sized down to where her waist would have been, if she had had any, and though she terminated, as human beings generally do, in a pair of feet, she was so short that she stood at a common-sized chair as at a table, resting a bag she carried on the seat.” Sites Unlocalised. At this distance of time it is impossible to indicate the locality of “_The Willing Mind_”—patronised by Mr. Peggotty—the residence of _Mr. and Mrs. Barkis_, or the establishment of _Messrs Omer and Joram_. The last is described as being “in a narrow street,” and should be doubtless looked for in the older part of the town. Blundeston, the birthplace of Copperfield, may be visited from _Somerleyton Station_, on the line between Yarmouth and Lowestoft. The village, with its round-towered church, is situated about four miles eastward from the railway. The house indicated in the novel as _Blunderstone Rookery_ stands next the church. The excursion could include, _en route_, a visit to Somerleyton Park, open to the public on Wednesdays. RAMBLE X _London to Dorking and Portsmouth_
