Upon Peggotty suggesting that her and Davey go away,,i dont understand if she did it to protect him because she knew that Clara was going to marry Murdstone or that Murdstone didnt want him there? Why would Clara even marry Murdstone knowing how evil he has been to Davey? Its like Claras relationship got destroyed by Murdstone and she didnt care about Davey or his feelings towards the whole thing. Davey gets sent away because Murdstone decided it was best---That wasnt his choice to make especially since that wasnt his child,but it was Claras and she let him go like it was nothing. My God he was only 8yrs old and not once did dhe call or go see him at the boarding school--What kind of mom does that for the sake of a man who wasnt even respectful of her or Davey? When he returns for the holidays she has had another child,,and why didnt Davey know?

On another part of the book how did Clara and the baby die? There wasnt much that Peggorty explained to him. Was she ill or had a broken heart of feeling guilty?
