'You knew me, a long time before I came here and was changed, Mr. Copperfield, said Uriah, looking at me; and a more villainous look I never saw, even on his visage. 'You knew me when, in spite of my follies, I was umble among them that was proud, and meek among them that was violent you was violent to me yourself, Mr. Copperfield. Once, you struck me a blow in the face, you know.
Anyone could see that by the likeness. You're the spit of each other, if I might make so bold. And I'm sure," said the orator, "speakin' on be'alf of all present, meself included, we feel honoured by the presence in our umble midst of the mother of the famous 'orseman Chukkers Childers." In the silence the speaker resumed his seat. The lady addressed was too busy to reply.
You won't find yer 'umble a 'ankerin' after the fresh air come night-time!" broke in Dollops with a little shiver of terror that was remarkably real. "I'll keep to me downy thank you, an' as you say, Mr. Borkins, leave well enough alone. You're a wise gentleman, you are!" Borkins, flattered, still further expanded.
You may not recollect it; but when a person is umble, Master Copperfield, a person treasures such things up! 'I recollect talking about it, said I, 'though I certainly did not think it very likely then. 'Oh! who would have thought it likely, Mister Copperfield! returned Uriah, enthusiastically. 'I am sure I didn't myself. I recollect saying with my own lips that I was much too umble.
I am well aware that I am the 'umblest person going, let the other be where he may. My mother is likewise a very 'umble person. We live in a 'umble abode, Master Copperfield, but have much to be thankful for. My father's former calling was 'umble; he was a sexton." "What is he now?" I asked. "He is a partaker of glory at present, Master Copperfield," said Uriah Heep.
'Has that Copperfield no tongue? muttered Uriah, 'I would do a good deal for you if you could tell me, without lying, that somebody had cut it out. 'My Uriah means to be umble! cried his mother. 'Don't mind what he says, good gentlemen! 'What must be done, said Traddles, 'is this. First, the deed of relinquishment, that we have heard of, must be given over to me now here.
How long?" exclaimed Mrs. Hockin's new parlormaid, ready to drop, though in full print now, on the landward steps of the bathing-machine set up by the reckless Major. "Come this very hinstant, miss, honor bright!" replied the junior Stixon, who had moved in good society; "and just in the hackmy of time, miss, if I may offer you my 'umble hand."
You cannot insult them, for like Uriah Heep, they are always "so 'umble." You find it hard to suspect them, but in truth, they are the most genuine impostors to be met with in the City. They are soliciting money for themselves alone, and have no connection with any charitable institution whatever.
Tate, I 'appen to know the facts in this 'ere particular case, beggin' yer 'umble pardon." Ben's h's became more lubricous with his rising indignation.
But I think that will be soon. Her mother has had these attacks before. I have good hopes that before long Mrs. Richling will actually be here." Richling began to move away down the crowded market-house, but Narcisse said: "Thass yo' di'ection? 'Tis the same, mine. We may accompany togetheh if you'll allow yo' 'umble suvvant?" "Come along! You do me honor!"
