What happens next in the life of David?

Darren Hello again, I’m Darren. It’s time to continue Charles Dicken’s well known story - David Copperfield. David’s now 17 and has just left school.

Agnes, David’s friend warns him about his handsome friend Steerforth, David’s bad angel. She also tells him that Uriah Heep, her father’s clerk, has taken advantage of his position to become her father ‘s business partner. David takes up an apprenticeship with a law firm in London, where he meets and falls in love with Dora, the enchanting daughter of his employer. Dora ‘s father forbids marriage but lo and behold! He dies suddenly in an accident. David’s writing begins to take off and he marries Dora. They live quite happily despite her childishness and incompetent housekeeping.

Things take a turn for the worse - David learns that Emily has eloped with Steerforth. Aunt Betsy turns up financially ruined due to Uriah Heep’s scheming. Dora becomes very ill and Agnes helps David nurse her. Before she dies, Dora secretly tells Agnes something.

Meanwhile, Mr Micawber, who has been working for Uriah Heep, exposes him as a fraud. Emily is eventually tracked down and Mr Pegotty decides to start a new life with her in Australia. Back in Yarmouth, David witnesses a powerful storm. Ham tries heroically to save the owner of a boat crashing on rocks - Steerforth no less! Tragically, both men drown. David travels abroad to get over Dora’s death. Eventually he realises that he has loved Agnes all along. When dying, Dora has asked Agnes to take care of David. David and Agnes marry and he becomes a successful writer.

And that’s the story. I hope you enjoyed it and I’ll see you next time for another one. Bye for now.
