I decided
to go to London first, to stay at a hotel for a few nights, and see all the sights
of that great city. I knew it would be
very different from the last time I was in London, when I was working at the
warehouse. Now I was adult, and
educated, and had money.
The hotel
I chose was called the Golden Cross, and because I looked so young, I was given
a very small, dark room in the roof. But
I did not feel confident enough to complain.
That
evening I was returning from the theatre when I recognized someone going into
the hotel. I could not prevent myself
from saying at once.
A week
passed very quickly, with visits to the theatre, the museums and the zoo. We went sightseeing, riding, swimming and
boating. Steerforth was the perfect
companion to have, and I admired him even more than before. In fact, I loved him with all my heart.
