I cannot judge from the context; perhaps. It could also mean 'continue'.

I only heard how the "go on" expression is used with a meaning "to continue doing something". For instance:
Boris: I have a job for you.
Sol: I already have a job.
Boris: Fifty grand for half a day's work.
Sol: Go on. (Sol is now interested in Boris's offer and he'd like Boris to continue)
Boris: I have a job for you.
Sol: I already have a job.
Boris: Fifty grand for half a day's work.
Sol: Go on. (Sol is now interested in Boris's offer and he'd like Boris to continue)

Mister MicawberI cannot judge from the context; perhaps. It could also mean 'continue'.But there's nothing to continue. I mean he tells her the story. And in the end
he says 'Go on.'

Another possibility is 'stop, I don't believe you'. I'm not saying you're wrong, MH-- it's just that there are other interpretations and the context does not give me enough to decide for you.
