'Or she would be proud, if it wasn't sinful, Master Copperfield.' 'Yet you didn't mind supposing I was proud this morning,' I returned.
'Oh dear, no, Master Copperfield!' returned Uriah.

'Oh, believe me, no! Such a thought never came into my head! I shouldn't have deemed it at all proud if you had thought US too umble for you.

Because we are so very umble.' 'Have you been studying much law lately ?' I asked, to change the subject.
'Oh, Master Copperfield,' he said, with an air of self-denial, 'my reading is hardly to be called study.

I have passed an hour or two in the evening, sometimes, with Mr.Tidd.' 'Rather hard, I suppose ?' said I.'He is hard to me sometimes,' returned Uriah.

'But I don't know what he might be to a gifted person.' After beating a little tune on his chin as he walked on, with the two forefingers of his skeleton right hand, he added: 'There are expressions, you see, Master Copperfield--Latin words and terms--in Mr.Tidd, that are trying to a reader of my umble attainments.' 'Would you like to be taught Latin ?' I said briskly.
