advice from aunt betsey

I just finished reading David Copperfield, and I must say, I am a little disappointed to be leaving it behind. So, I'm not going to leave it behind. I am going to linger with the characters I have grown to love over the past month. Here is a little piece of advice for life from Betsey Trotwood that I think applies to all. She delivers this little nugget of wisdom before dropping David, whom she has renamed Trotwood after herself, off at school.

"Never," said my aunt, "be mean in anything; never be false; never be cruel. Avoid those three vices, Trot, and I can always be hopeful of you."

Well said, Miss Trotwood.
