Charles Dickens Quotes

The Only Subject ... On Which He (Mr. Peggotty - M. Zh.) Ever Showed A Violent Temper Or Swore An Oath, Was This Generosity Of His; And If It Were Ever Referred To ... He Struck The Table A Heavy Blow With His Right Hand (had Split It On One Such Occasion), And Swore A Dreadful Oath That He Would Be "Gormed" If He Didn't Cut And Run For Good, If It Was Ever Mentioned Again. It Appeared ... That Nobody Had The Least Idea Of The Etymology Of This Terrible Verb Passive To Be Gormed; But That They All Regarded It Constituting A Most Solemn Imprecation." (Chapter III)
