Oh, thank you, Master Copperfield! He writhed himself quite off his stool in the excitement of his feelings, and, being off, began to make arrangements for going home. 'Mother will be expecting me, he said, referring to a pale, inexpressive-faced watch in his pocket, 'and getting uneasy; for though we are very umble, Master Copperfield, we are much attached to one another.
But, pshuh! my ole mist'ess showed me mo' d'n dem niggers 'll l'arn in a thousan' years! I 's fetch' my gran'son' Jerry up ter be 'umble, an' keep in 'is place.

'I know'd the bishop's looks afore you was born, my gal, said Mosk, playfully, 'and it's proud I am to see 'im under m' umble roof. Lor'! 'ere's a 'appy family meeting.
Whereto I made just as pretty a little speech as your 'umble sarvant could. Then we sat down, I called in Mrs. Praise Heaven! they go off for Christmas. Everything's shut up tight.
