From The Portable Dickens, edited by Angus Wilson

STOPPING TO SAY

"I might have a misgiving that I am 'meandering' in stopping to say this, but that it brings me to remark that I build these conclusions, in part upon my own experience of myself; and if it should appear from anything I may set down in this narrative that I was a child of close observation, or that as a man I have a strong memory of my childhood, I undoubtedly lay claim to both of these characteristics."

From What a Child Sees (excerpt from David Copperfield)
