Agnes was one of Mr. Dick's friends, very soon; and in often coming
to the house, he made acquaintance with Uriah. The friendship between
himself and me increased continually, and it was maintained on this odd
footing: that, while Mr. Dick came professedly to look after me as my
guardian, he always consulted me in any little matter of doubt that
arose, and invariably guided himself by my advice; not only having a
high respect for my native sagacity, but considering that I inherited a
good deal from my aunt.
One Thursday morning, when I was about to walk with Mr. Dick from
the hotel to the coach office before going back to school (for we had an
hour's school before breakfast), I met Uriah in the street, who
reminded me of the promise I had made to take tea with himself and his
mother: adding, with a writhe, 'But I didn't expect you to keep it,
Master Copperfield, we're so very umble.'
I really had not yet been able to make up my mind whether I liked
Uriah or detested him; and I was very doubtful about it still, as I
stood buy anabolics online looking him in the face in the street. But I felt it quite an
affront to be supposed proud, and said I only wanted to be asked.
