great expectations
by charles dickens (excerpt)

"show us where you live," said the man. "pint out the place! "
i pointed to where our village lay, on the flat in-shore among the alder-trees and pollards, a mile or more from the church.
the man, after looking at me for a moment, turned me upside down, and emptied my pockets. there was nothing in them but a piece of bread. when the church came to itself,—for he was so sudden and strong that he made it go head over heels before me, and i saw the steeple under my feet,—when the church came to itself, i say, i was seated on a high tombstone, trembling while he ate the bread ravenously.
"you young dog," said the man, licking his lips, "what fat cheeks you ha' got."
i believe they were fat, though i was at that time undersized for my years, and not strong.
"darn me if i couldn't eat em," said the man, with a threatening shake of his head, "and if i han't half a mind to't! "
i earnestly expressed my hope that he wouldn't, and held tighter to the tombstone on which he had put me; partly, to keep myself upon it; partly, to keep myself from crying.
