وَهَكَذَا، أَصْبَحَ دَيْفِيد مُسْتَعِدًّا تَمَامًا لِلذَّهَابِ؛ وَرَاحَ يَنْتَظِرُ عَلَى أَحَرَّ مِنَ الْجَمْرِ أَنْ تَعُودَ أُمُّهُ إِلَى الْمَنْزِلِ كَيْ يَنْطَلِقَ لِتَنْفِيذِ هَذِهِ الْفِكْرَةِ الْعَظِيمَةِ.

David was now fully prepared to go, waiting impatiently for his mother to return home so he could set off to carry out his great plan.

لَمْ تَتَفَاجَأْ أُمُّهُ أَلْبَتَّةَ مِنْ دَعْوَةِ بِيجُوتِي.

His mother was not at all surprised by Peggotty's invitation.

وَفِي الْوَاقِعِ، لَقَدْ بَدَا أَنَّهَا كَانَتْ تَعْلَمُ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ عَنِ الْأَمْرِ، وَوَافَقَتْ عَلَى الْخُطَّةِ فِي الْحَالِ.

In fact, she seemed to know everything about it and agreed to the plan immediately.

وَقَدْ تَقَرَّرَ أَنْ يُسَافِرَا فِي عَرَبَةِ أَحَدِ الْحَمَّالِينَ وَالَّتِي غَادَرَتْ قَرْيَةَ بِلَانْدَسْتِن فِي الصَّبَاحِ؛ بَعْدَ الْإِفْطَارِ؛ لِأَنَّهُ فِي تِلْكَ الْأَيَّامِ لَمْ يَكُنْ يُوجَدُ سِكَكٌ حَدِيدِيَّةٌ عَلَى الْإِطْلَاقِ.

It was decided they would travel in one of the carrier's carts, which left the village of Blunderstone after breakfast, as there were no railways in those days.

حَيْثُ حُزِمَتْ حَقِيبَةُ دَيْفِيد، وَحُزِمَتْ حَقِيبَةُ بِيجُوتِي، وَعِنْدَمَا جَاءَ الصَّبَاحُ الزَّاخِرُ بِالْأَحْدَاثِ، وَقَفُوا عِنْدَ الْبَوَّابَةِ يَنْتَظِرُونَ عَرَبَةَ الْحَمَّالِ؛ وَرَاحَتْ أُمُّ دَيْفِيد تُقَبِّلُهُ قُبُلَاتِ الْوَدَاعِ، وَتَضُمُّهُ إِلَيْهَا بِشِدَّةٍ لِدَرَجَةِ أَنَّهُ أَحَسَّ بِقَلْبِهَا يَدُلُّ عَلَى قَلْبِهِ.

David's bag was packed, as was Peggotty's, and when the eventful morning arrived, they stood at the gate waiting for the carrier's cart. David's mother kissed him goodbye, hugging him so tightly he felt her heart beating against his.

وَعِنْدَمَا وَصَلَتِ الْعَرَبَةُ، رَكِبَهَا هُوَ وَبِيجُوتِي، وَبَيْنَمَا تَبتَعِدُ بِهِمَا انْطَلَقَتْ أُمُّهُ تَجْرِي مِنْ عِنْدِ الْبَوَّابَةِ، وَرَاحَتْ تُنَادِي عَلَى الْحَمَّالِ لِيَتَوَقَّفَ تُقَبِّلُ ابْنَهَا الصَّغِيرَ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى.

When the cart arrived, he and Peggotty climbed in, and as it pulled away, his mother ran from the gate, calling for the carrier to stop so she could kiss her little son once more.

فِي النِّهَايَةِ ابْتَعَدَا تَمَامًا، وَتَرَكَاهَا وَاقِفَةً فِي الطَّرِيقِ؛ وَعِنْدَمَا نَظَرَا وَرَاءَهُمَا رَأَيَا أَنَّ السَّيِّدَ مِيرْدَسْتُون قَدْ جَاءَ إِلَى حَيْثُ هِيَ وَاقِفَةٌ، وَبَدَا أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَتَجَادَلُ مَعَهَا بِشَأْنِ تَأَثُّرِهَا الشَّدِيدِ هَذَا؛ وَرَاحَ دَيْفِيد، وَهُوَ يَنْظُرُ مِنَ النَّافِذَةِ الْخَلْفِيَّةِ الْمُظَلَّلَةِ فِي الْعَرَبَةِ، يَتَعَجَّبُ مِنْ عَلَاقَةِ السَّيِّدِ مِيرْدَسْتُون بِهِمْ.

Eventually, they moved on, leaving her standing in the road. Looking back, they saw Mr. Murdstone approach her, appearing to argue with her over her display of emotion. David, watching from the shaded rear window of the cart, wondered about Mr. Murdstone's role in their lives.

كَانَ الْحِصَانُ، كَمَا اعْتَقَدَ دَيْفِيد، أَكْثَرَ الْأَحْصِنَةِ كَسَلًا فِي الدُّنْيَا؛ فَهُوَ يَسِيرُ مُتَثَاقِلًا وَرَأْسُهُ إِلَى الْأَسْفَلِ، كَمَا نَكَّسَ الْحَمَّالُ رَأْسَهُ هُوَ الْآخَرُ، مِثْلَمَا فَعَلَ الْحِصَانُ، وَرَاحَ يَتَهَدَّلُ إِلَى الْأَمَامِ تَهَدُّلَ النَّعْسَانِ أَثْنَاءَ الْقِيَادَةِ، بَيْنَمَا إِحْدَى ذِرَاعَيْهِ مَمْدُودَةٌ عَلَى كِلْتَا رُكْبَتَيْهِ، وَأَخَذَ يُصَفِّرُ كَثِيرًا.

The horse, David thought, was the laziest in the world, walking sluggishly with its head down. The carrier, too, let his head droop like the horse's, nodding off as he drove with one arm draped over his knees, whistling frequently.

كَانَتْ بِيجُوتِي تَحْمِلُ عَلَى رُكْبَتِهَا سَلَّةً بِهَا وَجْبَةٌ خَفِيفَةٌ، فَرَاحَتْ هِيَ وَدَيْفِيد يَأْكُلَانِ الْأَشْيَاءَ الطَّيِّبَةَ مِنْ أَجْلِ تَمْضِيَةِ الْوَقْتِ؛ لَكِنَّ الْحَمَّالَ تَوَقَّفَ فِي أَمَاكِنَ كَثِيرَةٍ لِيُوصِلَ الطُّرُودَ الَّتِي مَعَهُ، لِدَرَجَةِ أَنَّ دَيْفِيد قَدْ أُصِيبَ بِسَأَمٍ شَدِيدٍ، لَكِنَّهُ شَعَرَ بِسَعَادَةٍ كَبِيرَةٍ عِنْدَمَا رَأَى مَدِينَةَ يَارْمَث أَخِيرًا.

Peggotty had a basket of snacks on her lap, and she and David ate to pass the time. The carrier stopped so often to deliver parcels that David grew quite bored, though he felt a surge of happiness when he finally saw the town of Yarmouth.

كَانَ هُنَاكَ بَحَّارَةٌ يَسِيرُونَ فِي الشَّارِعِ، وَعَرَبَاتٌ تُجَلْجِلُ فِيهِ ذَهَابًا وَإِيَابًا، كَمَا فَاحَتْ فِيهِ رَوَائِحُ السَّمَكِ وَجَدَائِلِ الْحِبَالِ الْقَدِيمَةِ وَالْقَطْرَانِ.

Sailors walked the streets, carriages rattled back and forth, and the air was thick with the scents of fish, old rope, and tar.

صَاحَتْ بِيجُوتِي بِحَمَاسَةٍ قَائِلَةً: «هَا هُوَ ذَا ابْنُ أَخِي! لَقَدْ كَبِرَ لِدَرَجَةِ أَنِّي عَرَفْتُهُ بِصُعُوبَةٍ» وَذَلِكَ عِنْدَمَا خَطَا شَابٌّ قَوِيٌّ ضَخْمُ الْبِنْيَةِ يَبْلُغُ طُولُهُ سِتَّةَ أَقْدَامٍ وَلَهُ وَجْهٌ صِبْيَانِيُّ الْمَلَامِحِ وَشَعْرٌ مُتَجَعِّدٌ أَشْقَرُ اللَّوْنِ، خَارِجَ بَابِ الْحَانَةِ الَّتِي كَانَ يَنْتَظِرُهُمَا فِيهَا.

"There's my nephew! He's grown so much I barely recognized him," Peggotty cried excitedly as a strong, broad-shouldered young man, six feet tall with a boyish face and curly blond hair, stepped out of the tavern where he had been waiting for them.
