The first things David can remember from early childhood are (1) his pretty mother, and (2) Peggotty, his mother's not-so-pretty housekeeper.
He also remembers his house, which had a pigeon-house with no pigeons and a dog kennel with no dogs.
David recalls a series of early sense impressions: of a graveyard covered with mossy grass and the church where he, Peggotty, and his mother go on Sundays.
He remembers sitting in the parlor with his mother.
One night, as David waits up to see his mother when she comes home from an outing, David asks Peggotty if she has ever been married.
Peggotty says no.
David continues: but, if you marry someone and that person dies, then you're allowed to marry someone else?
Peggotty agrees that you can, if you want to.
David thinks that Peggotty is angry with him, but she doesn't seem to be. In fact, she hugs David tightly. He has no idea why Peggotty seems so upset.
Finally, David's mother comes home.
With her is a man with dark hair and a mustache, who speaks in a deep voice that David doesn't trust.
The man insists that David shake his hand, but David really doesn't want to: there's something about this guy that he doesn't like.
