David Copperfield

This term I am reading the classic novel "David Copperfield" by Charles Dickens. As part of understanding what we read my group had to summarise chapter 2. This is our summary..... 

Chapter 2 is about Davy observing his childhood. He remembers the times his nurse/housekeeper, Peggotty used to take him to church. She also used to look after him when his Mum was out. One night his mother came home with a gentleman. The same one that escorted them home after church. His name was Mr. Murdstone. Davy did not like him.
2 months later Peggotty asked if Davy would like to spend a fortnight at her brothers, away from home. Davy was excited to leave but at the same time he was sad to leave his home and his mum.
