But not being umble yourself, you don't judge well, perhaps, for them that are. I won't provoke my betters with knowledge, thank you. I'm much too umble. Here is my umble dwelling, Master Copperfield! We entered a low, old-fashioned room, walked straight into from the street, and found there Mrs. Heep, who was the dead image of Uriah, only short.
And at times his blue fire was of a very cheap kind. Rosa Dartle and Carker, Steerforth and Blandois, Quilp and Uriah Heep, have a melancholy glitter of the footlights over them. We cannot see what the villains want, except to look villainous, and we fail to make out where is the danger to the innocent victims.
His earnings, like those of a great majority of the working class in England, were squandered in the public house. Soon after the events just recorded, Heep concluded to visit his old home in Macclesfield. He accordingly threw up his situation, and arrived at the railway station an hour before the train was due.
Allen's astuteness had nothing mean or cringing in it, while Mr. Fox heretofore had been a sort of Uriah Heep to him. Therefore his surprise and annoyance at his new role of cool confidence. "Well, sir," said he, rather impatiently, returning to his writing, as a broad hint that communications must be brief if made at all. "Mr. Allen," said Mr.
Wickfield's at home, ma'am, said Uriah Heep, 'if you'll please to walk in there' pointing with his long hand to the room he meant.
He read this passage as if it were from an Act of Parliament; and appeared majestically refreshed by the sound of the words. "My charges against HEEP," he read on, glancing at him, and drawing the ruler into a convenient position under his left arm, in case of need, "are as follows." We all held our breath, I think. I am sure Uriah held his. "First," said Mr. Micawber, "When Mr.
"I never felt we’d keep you long, son; them golden curls seldom gets a chance to ripen singly." "Shoshone squaw, did you say she was, Henry? They ain’t much for looks, but there’s a heep of wear to ’em." "Oh, go on, now; you fellows know I ain’t married." And the boy handled the package with a sort of dumb wonder, as if the superscription were indisputable evidence of a wife’s existence.
All I can say is, that my friend Heep has responded to appeals to which I need not more particularly refer, in a manner calculated to redound equally to the honour of his head, and of his heart. 'I should not have supposed him to be very free with his money either, I observed. 'Pardon me! said Mr. Micawber, with an air of constraint, 'I speak of my friend Heep as I have experience.
W. and attested by Wilkins Micawber, are forgeries by HEEP. I have, in my possession, in his hand and pocket-book, several similar imitations of Mr. W.'s signature, here and there defaced by fire, but legible to anyone. I never attested any such document.
As I came back, I saw Uriah Heep shutting up the office; and feeling friendly towards everybody, went in and spoke to him, and at parting, gave him my hand. But oh, what a clammy hand his was! as ghostly to the touch as to the sight! I rubbed mine afterwards, to warm it, AND TO RUB HIS OFF. It was such an uncomfortable hand, that, when I went to my room, it was still cold and wet upon my memory.
