David Copperfield is reading a letter from Mr. Micawber.
"Among other havens of domestic tranquillity and peace of mind, my feet will naturally tend towards the King's Bench Prison. In stating that I shall be (D. V.) on the outside of the south wall of that place of incarceration on civil process, the day after tomorrow, at seven in the evening, precisely, my object in this epistolary communication is accomplished. "
Am I right in believing, based on that gentleman's predilection for effusiverhetorical effects, that "D.V" stands for "Deus volens" = "God willing"?
