Parts of the chapter
Beginning
She was very happy in Aunt Betsey's house, although she was strict with the care of
her garden, it was something very special, even Mr. Dick was also a great person,
although a little strange but very kind and formal.
Middle
Soon the day would come to go back to school again, my aunt had followed the advice of
her friend Mr. Wickfield, to send me to study in Canterbury, I would live in the house of
his friend Mr. Wickfield, together with his beautiful daughter Agnes, who was my age,
was very mature for her age and I trusted her a lot.
End
It seemed a bit strange to see Mr. Wickfield and Uriah so friendly, but I was glad to see
my old friend; I had finally finished school and should leave Caterbury and start my way,
really Agnes was worried since her father would be left alone with Uriah Heep and he was
a bad influence.

What did you like the least from the chapter? the least I liked was Uriah Heep and his
strange questions.
