[00:00.59] Chapter 10.
[00:02.37] New beginnings and happy endings.
[00:06.52] Steerforth had left Emily abroad with no money, and so she came to London, where Dan Peggity finally tracked her down.
[00:15.19] Dan decided that there was nothing to hold him in Yarmouth, and he and Emily began a new life in Australia.
[00:23.11] And in search of yet another fresh start, the Mcobers decided that they would also go to Australia.
[00:31.08] Something will turn up there, said Mr. Mcber, as cheerful as ever.
[00:39.52] I went traveling abroad as I'd planned, taking pleasure only in the letters from Agnes Wickfield, urging me to come home and continue my writing career.
[00:50.93] I listened to her encouragement and picked up my pen once more.
[00:56.82] When I finally returned to England, I found that things had gone well while I was away.
[01:03.87] Mr. Wickfield was a contented man, free forever from Uriah Heep, and Aunt Betsy was delighted to have me back at her side.
[01:14.64] Like Agnes, she hoped I would continue writing.
[01:19.80] And, in Australia, the Peggoties and Mcobers were thriving in their new lives.
[01:28.15] I was really happy for them all, and I began to feel happier myself, too.
[01:35.58] Although I would never forget Dora, I realized I was starting to fall in love with someone else.
[01:45.59] Agnes Wickfield was the perfect match for me.
[01:49.77] I'd always loved her as a friend, but now I loved her even more and wanted her to be my wife.
[01:59.92] When I finally plucked up the courage to ask her to marry me, she told me that she'd secretly loved me for years.
[02:10.06] I could hardly believe my happiness, and we were married within a Fortnite.
[02:17.63] Aunt Betsy, who had always liked Agnes, was almost as pleased as I was.
[02:28.50] As I sit here now, I have the two women at my side who mean everything to me.
[02:35.62] Agnes, my wife, and Aunt Betsy, who looked after me when I was all alone in the world.
[02:46.49] Who could have guessed that little David Copperfield would at last gain happiness?
